Here's Fanny! wrote:Everybody loves a winner, right? Then how come the Grammys' Best New Artist Category seems to be a running joke? It's got a bad rap, for every Milli Vanilli, there's a Carpenters.

So, what do you say to a nice little Best New Artist Timeline? Naw, the Grammys are much more fun that that! Let's do a Reverse Triple Timeline! Who's with me? That's the spirit! However, since it's only Wednesday, I'll give you a couple of Wells and no Bogies. Cause I'm sweet like that.

I'll give you the Grammy year, you select the Best New Artist and Record of the Year from their respective Wells. And you'll get more points for figuring out the artist who received the latter award! Please put your bolded answers under the year and add the artist to the Record. For example:

1. 2007
Amy Winehouse
Rehab - Amy Winehouse

Scoring: 5 points per BNA, 5 points per ROY, 3 points per ROY artist. Points possible including TWO bonuses at 10 per: 150

I concentrate on getting the bolding right and forget the spoiler. I had it in preview mode, too, and it STILL didn't dawn on me.

Instead of apologizing, it would be more effective to just add the spoiler. Unless that violates some unwritten code of ethics.
