Grammys: You really do love ``Mimi''
Mariah Carey's comeback continues. Big surprise? Not really. Everybody was betting on pop's golden girl to come away with top nominations _ she got eight, tying her with John Legend and Kanye West _ at this morning's announcements for the 48th Annual Grammy Awards. And it's all on the strength of her album, ``The Emancipation of Mimi.''
The album has sold more than four million copies. Not that sales have anything to do with Grammy nominations.

Grammys: On the tarmac
It was upsetting, hideous and completely needless - oh, sorry, that was the passenger being shot by the Air Marshal - but it also applies to today's Grammy nods handed out to a predictable pantheon of earners.
The prize for the turnaround of Mariah Carey career should go the faceless suit - probably an entertainment lawyer in a Century City highrise _ who engineered it.
Whoever he is.
But anyway, eight nods went to the record which was pieced together like a tile bathroom. But has anyone ever heard Carey sing? Seriously. Because for years there's been so much made out of this songbird's alleged 12-octave coo that each time she emits an album, I can't wait to hear something amazing. Then, it's the usual meaningless treacle that sounds like all the other meaningless treacle.
