Duffy Nominated for Three Grammys
Wait a minute…is it just me or Duffy looks a bit like a way-young Melanie Griffith.. totally reminded me of her when I saw one of her videos for the first time a while back. Hey but Duffy can sing dude. I really liked her 'Mercy' song and guess what…amazing news! Duffy has actually been honored with a stunning three nominations at this year's Grammy Awards to be held on February 9.
Needless to say, Duffy must be like a kid when told she/he is going to Disneyland. After all, it's not everyday that you get nominated for a Grammy. Duffy is actually after the highly coveted 'Best New Artist' award, as well as Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for her mega-smash hit single 'Mercy'. But that's not all. Duffy's debut album 'Rockferry' is also up for the Best Pop Vocal Album award, alongside legendary artists The Eagles and James Taylor. Tough competition if you ask me.
While you and I are getting ready to get together with friends and family to celebrate the holidays Duffy is packing for a trip to the land of the Babushka- that'd be Russia. No doubt about it, Duffy is business. She'll be traveling to Russia on December 21st to play a very special show for her fans in Moscow. According to Duffy's website, the gig will take place in the Barvikha Luxury Village Concert Hall near Moscow. Next March, the 24 year old Welsh singer/songwriter is also scheduled to be in China, Hong Kong, Australia, Japan…you name it. Now, that's living on the fast lane.
As for her "online politics", on a recent interview with The Guardian, Duffy said that she does not mind people illegally downloading her music because she believes most people who do are kids who cannot afford the CDs and will buy them when they get older. Wow! With those words, I am sure she stroke some chords with Generation BitTorrent.
Gotta jet now, but it goes without saying that I wish you all a Happy Holidays season. Now, it’s time for you to sing to the karaoke versions of "Mercy" and "Warwick Avenue."
Ciao.
