Justin Bieber's manager has lambasted the Grammys organisers after the Canadian teen sensation failed to garner a single nomination for this year's music awards.
At the other end of the musical spectrum, late jazz icon Dave Brubeck was honoured with a posthumous nod for the music industry's top prizes, in a little- noticed category at Wednesday night's nominations show.
"The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one, (sic)" tweeted the Bieb's manager Scooter Braum, after the Recording Academy failed to nominate him in any of its 81 categories.
"The kid delivered. Huge successful album, sold out tour, and won people over… this time he deserved to be recognised and I dont really have any kind nice positive things to say about a decision i dont agree with."
And he added: "To his fans… looks like we get to stay the underdog a little longer."
This year's Grammy nominees were announced at a one-hour show in Nashville on Wednesday night.
