Default So, IF they win the Grammy

I know no one is holding their breath for a Bon Jovi Grammy win, but if they win it, do you think it will be because the voters got smart and realized Bon Jovi is awesome; because the Grammy organization would be embarrassed if Bon Jovi hit 100 million sales and didn't have a Grammy attached to their resume; or because the record company bought it for them to spur record sales?

In my opinion, the 100 million sales mark speaks for itself! I doubt Bon Jovi will win the Grammy, not to be pessimistic but REAListic. I honestly hope they do because if the Grammys are as important as everyone says they are, then Bon Jovi truly deserves one. However, Grammys aren't necessary for longevity, success, or popularity. The only thing that trophy can get you is acclaim from critics. Bon Jovi may not have that, but they have a lot more to brag about!

I think you are too positive, they won't win a Grammy.

IMO, if It's My Life couldn't win a Grammy, then Everyday doesn't have much chance. Still, you never know.......

I like No Doubt, but I think Bon Jovi are the best from those nominations. I think they could win it.

my faourite for the grammy is the dave matthews band- it's by far the best song...

apart of that: wasn't it jon who once said that bj are never going to win a grammy cause the band doesn't spend their money on buying awards?
