Rihanna nominata a 2 Grammy Awards!

Anche quest’anno Rihanna concorre per la vincita dei Grammy Awards (gli Oscar della musica) in ben due categorie! Non è nominata in sue canzoni soliste (sarebbe stato impossibile dato che il termine ultimo di eleggibilità era fissato per il 31 Agosto 2009), ma è nominata grazie alla canzone Run This Town, che lei stessa ha co-scritto e che, se inizialmente era stata prevista per Rated R, è stata poi registrata da Jay-Z assieme appunto a Rih e a Kanye West. Ecco comunque le nomination in dettaglio:

Best Rap/Sung Collaboration
Run This Town
Jay-Z, Rihanna & Kanye West

Best Rap Song
Run This Town
Shawn Carter, R. Fenty, M. Riddick, Kanye West & E. Wilson, songwriters (Athanasios Alatas, songwriter) (Jay-Z, Rihanna & Kanye West)

Speriamo proprio che Rihanna riesca ad ottenere il suo secondo grammy (l’aveva vinto con Umbrella nel 2007 sempre in Best Rap/Sung Collaboration) il prossimo 31 Gennaio quando si terrà lo show in diretta dal teatro Staples Centre di Los Angeles.
