Toby Keith

"The Grammys don't respect country," Toby Keith griped to CMT in Jan 2010. "The Grammys would take the four biggest artists in this genre and ask them to come to a show, perform on the same song at the same time and not do a country song." He was angry, at least in part, because he was a multi-platinum country superstar who had never even been nominated for a Grammy. The following year, though, he landed his very first nod in the Best Male Country Vocal Performance category for 'Cryin' for Me (Wayman's Song).' He lost.
