And in the "Best Dance Recording" category the nominees are: Daft Punk for Harder Better Faster Stronger, Hot Chip for Ready for the Floor, Lady GaGa for Just Dance, Madonna for Give It 2 Me, Rihanna for Disturbia and Sam Sparro for Black and Gold…and the winner is…well, I guess you're gonna have to tune in to the CBS telecast of the 51st Grammy Awards Ceremony to be held on February 8. That's is if you want to find out if Lady GaGa is gonna take the award home with her.

Yeah, for those fans of the Electronica genre, the nomination of Lady Gaga for a Grammy Award probably makes them happy campers. Of course, this is her first Grammy Award nomination for the international blockbuster hit "Just Dance". BTW, we bring you the Grammy Award nominated "Just Dance" for you to sing and go GaGa. I couldn't believe this when I read it, but some critics are already talking about her being the heir of Britney Spear's princess of pop title. Not too shabby for a 22 year old from New York's Upper West Side.

In the meantime, Stefani Joanne Germanotta (Lady GaGa) is touring the country as an opening act for the New Kids on the Block. Yeah, do you remember those guys? Thought so. Recently on an interview with the New York Post, Lady GaGa put it this way, "we can make pop music that's a little bit left of center and a little edgy, that has something new and fresh to say . . . and still put it on Top 40 radio - it's the future." I guess that goes to say that her unorthodox synergies of electro/dance/pop genres are definitely a new mantra for years to come.

Well, we're glad for her. She brings some fresh originality to the music, fashion, art and tech space. "I've always been somebody that stands out in a crowd. I've been making clothes for myself and dressing the way I do for a really long time, so it's not a look for me, it's my lifestyle," she explained. Unsurpisingly, US Weekly called her "Pop's New Dance Diva" and compared her to Madonna. Well, I guess only time will tell. Jury is still out on this one.

So, time to wrap it up for me and time to go GaGa for you all by singing to the tune of "Just Dance". Happy Holidays!.
