  96. When is Sean Tissle? Eeya , he is just a small boy that is just coming up.But after all thise hits songs, I expected that he would be nominated at least, in one category.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Linda, ModeNine got 4 nominations and thought he did not deserve to be mentioned in your write-up. If it was MI, you would have put his picture boldly there. As a public figure, if you're NOT fair in your reporting you would soon lose credibility.
