Breaking news: George Harrison nominated for three Grammys!!

George Harrison has been nominated for three Grammys in the nominations released Thursday morning. One is for best Pop Vocal Album for "Brainwashed," another is for best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Any Road" and the third is for Pop Instrumental Performance for "Marwa Blues." No nominations of any other Beatles were announced. This is an incredible and well-deserved honor for such an incredible album.

Here are the three categories George is nominated in, along with his competition for the awards:

6. Male Pop Vocal Performance: "Any Road," George Harrison ; "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," Michael McDonald ; "Send Your Love," Sting; "Cry Me a River," Justin Timberlake; "Keep Me in Your Heart," Warren Zevon.

9. Pop Instrumental Performance: "Patricia," Ry Cooder and Manuel Galban; "Marwa Blues," George Harrison; "Honey-Dipped," Dave Koz; "Seabiscuit," Randy Newman ; "The Nutcracker Suite," The Brian Setzer Orchestra.

11. Pop Vocal Album: "Stripped," Christina Aguilera; "Brainwashed," George Harrison; "Bare," Annie Lennox ; "Motown," Michael McDonald; "Justified," Justin Timberlake.


"Pop" seems to be a catch-all category for the Grammys when you consider the assortment of artists who are nominated here. George belongs in the rock category, rather than pop. He has some interesting competition in Sting, Ry Cooder and Randy Newman, to name a couple. We'll cross our fingers that George goes three for three.

(Note: Earlier in the day, we had George listed for a nomination for Pop Collaboration With Vocals. That was incorrect and we apologize for the error. The above nominations are correct.)
