    Ummmm Really?

    I don't think his winning necessarily means there will or won't be EV solo tour dates.

    If I never see EV solo, but still have PJ around as a band, then consider me happy. EV is good right where he is...and that's why it's taken this long to even get something from him, without his band by his side.

    The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.

    I hope he plays the song at the ceremony

    thats more important that him winning

    personally, I want EV to take some time off and focus on the next PJ record

    solo tour would be nice, but I miss the PJ!!!!!

    That's very cool, although I don't think Ed (or Chris) will win this

    Really? Have you heard the lyrics to Guaranteed? I just had to go have a listen since everyone is talking about it and once again they make me melt :D

    Editing to say the song is actually giving me chills listening to it right now. But it is only 32 degrees outside so maybe that is why :P

    does Ed want a grammy? I'm always curious about who votes for the winner..rock fans? pop fans? a panel of boring judges in suits?

    Thats what I was thinking.
    Cause Guaranteed lyrics are perfect imo.
    And the music...everything. When I first got the cd, I listened
    to the whole album reading the lyrics, but Guaranteed :eek:
    I was blown away!

    http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/Voting/

    The process begins with members and record companies submitting entries, which are then screened for eligibility and category placement. The Academy's voting members, all involved in the creative and technical processes of recording, then participate in (1) the nominating process that determines the five finalists in each category; and (2) the final voting process which determines the GRAMMY winners.

    Submission
    Recording Academy members and record companies enter recordings and music videos released during the eligibility year which they consider worthy of recognition in the GRAMMY Awards process.

    Screening
    Reviewing sessions by more than 150 experts in various fields are held to ensure that entered recordings meet specific qualifications and have been placed in appropriate fields such as Rock, R&B, Jazz, Country, Gospel, New Age, Rap, Classical and Latin, among others. The purpose of screenings is not to make artistic or technical judgments about the recordings, but rather to make sure that each entry is eligible and placed in its proper category.

    Nominating
    First-round ballots with lists of eligible recordings in all fields, except those voted on by special nominating committees, are sent to voting members who return their ballots to the independent accounting firm of Deloitte for tabulation. To help ensure the quality of the voting, members are directed to vote only in their fields of expertise; they may nominate in the four general categories (Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best New Artist) and in no more than nine out of 31 fields on their ballots.

    Special Nominating
    Committees In craft and other specialized categories, final nominations are determined by national nomination review committees comprised of voting members from all of The Academy's Chapter cities.

    Final Voting
    Lists of the finalists are sent to voting members with their second round ballots. The finalists determined by the special nominating committees are also included on these lists. In this final round, Recording Academy members may vote in the four general categories and in no more than eight of the 31 fields. Ballots again are tabulated in secrecy by the independent accounting firm, Deloitte.

    Results
    Results of members' voting are not known until the GRAMMY Awards presentation ceremony when names of the winners are delivered by Deloitte in sealed envelopes. GRAMMY Award winners are revealed during the GRAMMY Awards telecast.
