2008 Grammy Nominees Announced
It would appear that personal turmoil equals Grammy nods this year. At least that’s the case for Kanye West and Amy Winehouse. Between his mother dying and her husband being thrown in the slammer, these two were pretty desperate for some good news.
Between the two of them, the “Jesus Walks” rapper and the “Rehab” singer have a total of fourteen nominations (8 for him, 6 for her). And they’re not the only ones with multiple chances to take home an award.
On the next tier down, there were four artists with 5 nominations each: Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, T-Pain, and Foo Fighters. And Akon, Dierks Bentley, Feist, Chris Daughtry, Tim McGraw, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, Bruce Springsteen, and John Newton all have four chances.

Paramore - That’s What You Get Lyrics
No sir
Well I don’t wanna be the blame, not anymore
It’s your turn to take a seat
We’re settling the final score
And why do we like to hurt so much?
I can’t decide
You have made it harder just to go on
And why, all the possibilities
Well I was wrong
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
I wonder
How am I supposed to feel when you’re not here?
Cuz I’ve burned every bridge I ever built
When you were here
I still try
Holding on to silly things, I never learn
Oh why, all the possibilities
I’m sure you’ve heard
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
I drowned out all my sense with the sound of its beating (beating)
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
Pain, make your way to me, to me
And I’ll always be just so inviting (so inviting)
If I ever start to think straight
This heart will start a riot in me
Let’s start, start - hey!
Why do we like to hurt so much?
Oh, why do we like to hurt so much?
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
That’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
Now I can’t trust myself with anything but this
And that’s what you get when you let your heart win, woah
