Basically as long as an artist hasn't been nominated before, they are eligible. Lady Gaga had been nominated before her big breakout so she wasn't nominated for Best New Artist.
This isn't her best work but she's actually really talented and writes smarter songs than a lot of other people who get more love. shes quite a singer too:

I listened to MMJ since they first started up but they never really struck me until Z. For me, I can't understand why someone would like the pre-Z albums more than post-Z. the artistry and eclecticism from that point forward is nearly unmatched in music as a whole, nonetheless in their catalog.
The vibe of the video matches the vibe of the the song perfect. And man, I love this song. I didn't realize that it had been so long since they put out an album.
i was worried that "with arms outstretched" wasn't going to make the top 10 but man am i thrilled to see it get the respect. Its my absolute favorite song.
I don't get why his album is getting so slagged. Sure, it isn't as good as his last record, but its 10x better than most of the rap that's been receiving the plaudits that this one deserves.
Rubber Soul. I'm not of the opinion of most people that the Beatles were infallible and this is the only album of theirs that I listen to straight thru without skipping anything.
