In case you didn’t watch, last night was the Grammy nomination concert hosted by LL Cool J. The British sensation Adele is at the top of the female division with six total nominations. There is someone who has more total nominations. That certain someone is not Lady Gaga, Rihanna, or even Bruno Mars, but Kanye West. Sure his solo project My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy wasn’t nominated for Best Album, but Mr.West leads all Grammy nominations with seven. I have included just a few of the nominations below and I wish all of the entertainers the best of luck. You can watch the 54th annual Grammy Awards on February 12th, 2012 at 8pm est.
