Scooter Braun (Justin's manager) has a Grammy meltdown.



It's a Grammys snub for Justin Bieber, whose name was noticeably not called out by Taylor Swift or LL Cool J at Wednesday night's Grammy Nominations Concert Live! on CBS.

Bieber, who released "Believe" this summer, an album that spawned radio hits like "Boyfriend" and "As Long As You Love Me," didn't make any public statements about the Grammy nominations, but his manager Scooter Braun did.

Over a series of tweets, Braun wrote that he felt the Bieber snub was out of line. "Grammy board u blew it on this one," he wrote in one tweet.

"He deserved to be recognized and I don't really have any kind nice positive things to say about a decision I don't agree with," commented Braun.

Check out his lengthy Twitter rant below.

Do you think Believe deserved a nomination?

AND i hope the snub was deliberate. and after all this whining and carrying on it stays deliberate. underdog my ass.

Hopefully Justin keeps his mouth shut. Pretty embarrassing about his manager though...just stay off twitter.

I really liked Believe tbh. I don't give a shit about noms though.

someones salty. oh god carly got nominated for a grammy? that 40 year old singing about 12 year old relationships? the world really is ending. i guess i need to start saying my goodbyes to loved ones.

Don't care about Bieber's snub, but I would totally open up for this dude. He looks like the kind of guy I would date IRL. And he has a hot brother too.

scooter >>> adam tbh
hearthecity 6th-Dec-2012 05:40 pm (UTC)

dedebee 6th-Dec-2012 05:44 pm (UTC)
LOL no, it's his brother.
bee_xx3 6th-Dec-2012 05:28 pm (UTC)
Ugh Scooter. They all sound really entitled.
grande_latte 6th-Dec-2012 05:29 pm (UTC)
well Scooter Braun don't be mad

JETHRO TULL WON BEST METAL BAND at the Grammys so that tells you how much they know about music

I honestly really agree here. He's part of this whole system, and I don't think he's any better or worse than a lot of the shit that got nominated, it feels to me like it was done intentionally.

Should this illicit a Twitter meltdown? Of course not. But it's a head-scratcher to me for sure.

IA, they've done that to so many musicians. Especially after the Chris Brown thing last year.

yeah, it is strange. the grammy's clearly care more about mass appeal/popularity/ratings than anything so if Carly Rae Jepson can get nominated, it doesn't really make sense why Justin's album, which from his singles seems to be at least fairly decent, can't.
imnotasquirrel 6th-Dec-2012 05:40 pm (UTC)
yeah, his shit ain't any worse than carly rae...

if "call me maybe" wins...

Ita.
kwikimart 6th-Dec-2012 06:42 pm (UTC)
That's true

I mean it's still hilarious that JB/his team think he's entitled to one tho
delicious_pocky 7th-Dec-2012 12:30 am (UTC)
i totally agree with you.
bittermunchkin 6th-Dec-2012 05:29 pm (UTC)
I've never been able to stand his music, and I don't have a thing against pop. He should probably be transitioning right now to making something less crappy idk. Also I would say the driving stuff pissed people off, but... Chris Brown.

Scooter is a nickname right? Like please tell me this dude's birth name isn't Scooter.

Also, I don't think I've ever actually heard a Bieber song. :-X
thrillisgone_89 6th-Dec-2012 05:30 pm (UTC)
his real name is scott
lovebum4life 6th-Dec-2012 05:35 pm (UTC)
a lot of ppl haven't and yet act like his music sucks it's so weird lol XD
gee 6th-Dec-2012 05:57 pm (UTC)
I know a dude who has Scooter as his real name lol. But he is probably like 60 something by now, maybe it was less stupid back then.

"Also, I don't think I've ever actually heard a Bieber song. :-X"

GIRL YOU KNOW
dirrtypony 6th-Dec-2012 05:34 pm (UTC)
that song is still amazing and it deserved a grammy.
hollis1975 6th-Dec-2012 05:36 pm (UTC)
that album is fantastic. but the fall out was hilarious
dedebee 6th-Dec-2012 05:52 pm (UTC)
Agreed. If you take away all the controversy, it's still such a great pop album for that era.
dedebee 6th-Dec-2012 05:31 pm (UTC)
LOL @ the "you lost 31 million people who would have tuned in to the Grammys!"

What were these 31 million people doing during the American Music Awards, where he performed and won multiple times and which was viewed by less than 10 million people?
kstew 6th-Dec-2012 07:38 pm (UTC)
lol oop
jerriblank 6th-Dec-2012 05:31 pm (UTC)
everything and everyone associated with justin bieber belongs in a trash can
imnotasquirrel 6th-Dec-2012 05:32 pm (UTC)
psy didn't even get a grammy nod iirc, so why are these fools so pressed about him? bc racism?
lovebum4life 6th-Dec-2012 05:34 pm (UTC)
yeah that's weird that he didn't o___O
baglady25 6th-Dec-2012 06:01 pm (UTC)
It would have been awesome for Psy to get a nod, but did he have a chance?
imnotasquirrel 6th-Dec-2012 07:30 pm (UTC)
i think he should have had a shot at the best song category, especially if something like "call me maybe" got nominated. just because "gangnam style" comes saddled with a ridiculous dance doesn't make the song any less ~legit than cmm. idk, i think the snub kinda goes to show how america really only sees him as a racialized joke, i.e. lookit this funny chubby asian man dancing!

he wasn't eligible for best new artist though, because he already has several albums. and i'm glad, i would have been annoyed if he had been nominated for that because it's irritating when people act as though psy just started making music yesterday because americans hadn't heard of him before.

popular doesn't equal quality, ya turd.
lovebum4life 6th-Dec-2012 05:32 pm (UTC)
his album is mad good tho ngl lol

I honestly think ppl's weirdo irrational hatred for him doesn't allow them to judge his music objectively. A lot ppl just hate on him b/c he's JB lmao
