Yep, that's right. The Franklin, Tn. Fuse faves will be up against the likes of Feist, Amy Winehouse, Taylor Swift and Ledesi.

Ok, ok. Joke's over. Not funny anymore...
Posted 12/06/2007 at 04:33:10 PMFeist is up for Best New Artist? Of what, 2004?
Oh well. It could have been Plain White T's
Posted 12/06/2007 at 11:19:18 PMi just threw up in my mouth a little bit
Posted 12/06/2007 at 11:57:23 PMWhy even use up valuable bandwidth to have this news up here?
Posted 12/07/2007 at 07:14:50 AMhow predictable!!! a local artist sees success. it's a style of music that you don't like. so it must SUCK. why is everyone so jealous of success around here? stop being lazy and do something. it's good for you.

p.s. i think slack has some new merch or something. would that be better use of your precious bandwidth?

Posted 12/07/2007 at 11:39:20 AMwow sorry for the repeat. still hating this new cream format...
Posted 12/07/2007 at 11:44:12 AMIt's our success, isn't it?
Posted 12/07/2007 at 12:12:54 PMno
Posted 12/07/2007 at 12:29:28 PMi, for one, found this information interesting. i was entertained for all 5 seconds it took to read it, and i thank the scene for posting it.
then again, i don't really get on the internet to look for things to bitch about.
Posted 12/07/2007 at 12:51:06 PMthis band sucks. I'm sorry, they just do. Amy Winehouse may be a trainwreck, but I think a year from now people will still be listening to her record. Paramore is more flavor of the month bullshit.
Posted 12/07/2007 at 01:19:37 PMthis band SUCKS
Posted 12/07/2007 at 01:20:26 PMall you haters better pace yourselves. Paramore will be around for a while. They will be the first Nashville rock act to go platinum.
Posted 12/07/2007 at 01:27:53 PMTheyre not a Nashville rock act, Pants. They're a Franklin Emo act.
Not being 14, I don't really have anything to say regarding their sound. But I would hope some of you stauch defenders aren't seriously serious. For your own sake.
Posted 12/07/2007 at 02:43:03 PMCalling them a Nashville rock act is a bit of a stretch. Sure, they all live in the area, but that's about where their connection to this music scene ends. I don't remember them ever playing exit/in, mercy, etc... they never really participated in this local music scene. That's why I have a hard time calling them a "Nashville rock act."
Posted 12/07/2007 at 02:45:43 PMThey sold out the War Memorial. Or at least I think it was a sell out.
Posted 12/07/2007 at 02:56:33 PMWhile I can't understand anything that girl says, the songs are catchy as all get out. I ended up watching that live MTV performance of theirs and kind of enjoyed it.
Posted 12/07/2007 at 03:02:06 PMMaybe it was the semi-matching outfits.
Either way, I'm officially on Team Swift.
So I hope they lose.
It's funny how people who have trouble calling a band from Franklin a "Nashville Rock Act" would probably have no trouble claiming bands that are part-time residents (at best) as their own. I'm thinking of somebody like KOL or even Yo La Tengo. I'm sure there are better examples, but my point is that just because you don't like the band doesn't mean they are not a "Nashville act". Hey, at least Paramore don't try to play up the Nashville connection to some cheesy affect (ie KOL). Like them or not, Paramore IS from Nashville...errr Franklin.
Posted 12/07/2007 at 03:35:24 PMIt's not that I hate them specifically. My hate is more based around the fact that family connections and image go much farther in Nashville than actual talent does. I've seen it happen too many times and as a result have become quite cynical.
Posted 12/07/2007 at 03:38:28 PMFranklin is closer than Murfreesboro.
Posted 12/08/2007 at 07:43:37 PMI think they deserve a grammy nod,, their songs r hella catchy and hayley is a talented singer and kickass frontwoman
Posted 12/09/2007 at 03:51:53 PMis the fat one checking out her ass?

you know what? im am SICK of hearing about this crap. if you are born in a city like nashville, youre bound to have some sort of "connection" as you say. no way around it. my family on both sides have been involved in the nashville music scene for fifty years. yes. fifty years. i am a musician. and have been all my life.
so.
my point is. i have NEVER EVER gained any success or lack thereof because of my family. in fact, i dont go round telling my business for that very reason and it is so unfortunate. i am PROUD of my family history in nashville music and it is a shame i have to go round hiding it, in fear of disrespect from my peers. BULLSHIT i say.
never asked for a favor and never intend to.
any success or lack of success is due to my hard work and devotion to my art for twenty years.
im sick of denying my family heritage because of haters like you.
go ahead hater.

Posted 01/10/2008 at 12:04:00 PMI think Paramore is very cool. My best friend and I think its the best band of all time.Well were actully metal friends but we like Paramore too. PARAMORE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!
Posted 02/24/2008 at 03:51:05 PMYou know what people, get over it. I for one think Paramore is a good band. Music is music, no need to bitch about it. But I'm glad Amy won the award anyway. She's also one of my favorite artists.
Posted 03/07/2008 at 04:40:47 PMhe is looking right at her ass
Posted 03/22/2008 at 11:06:57 PMWell, at least they are flavor of the month

Posted 04/13/2008 at 08:39:06 AMAll you haters are stupid. They obviusly sound waaay better than you and of course Amy Winehouse, that bitch can't sing. Don't know why she won. And they have amazing songs, and a lead singer who is a GIRL. YEAAAAH.
PARAMORE IS AMAZING, I love them (:
Posted 04/14/2008 at 06:38:16 PMI Just Love PARAMORE.........You R Too Cute...!
Posted 04/20/2008 at 04:31:59 AMIt's good "pass the time" music... not exactly what I rock out to, but it's good in the background...
But then again I prefer sounds like Cascada & Avril for female vocals...
For some odd reason the lead vocals remind me of the band "Jimmy Eat World"
