Grammy Song of the Year Nominations

The nominations for this year’s Grammy Awards (being presented this coming Sunday) for Song of the Year include the songs, “Be Without You” from Mary J. Blige’s The Breakthrough, “Jesus Take the Wheel” from Carrie Underwood’s Some Hearts, “Not Ready to Make Nice” from the Dixie Chicks’ Taking the Long Way, “Put Your Records On” from Corinne Bailey Rae’s Corinne Bailey Rae and “You’re Beautiful” from James Blunt’s Back to Bedlam.

Of the songs listed, two are love songs, two are female empowerment songs (one subtle and one in-your-face) and one is a religious song. The lyrics of the five songs mentioned range from the simple to the complex, so it will be interesting to see who the Academy goes with this year.

Predictions? Though there are several worthy songs, I’ll take a wild stab and guess this is the year that the Dixie Chicks get their groove back.
