| | Grammy '99 Preview by Seth Rogovoy |
 | | The mediocrity of the vast majority of this year's Grammy Award nominees is simply a reflection of what is widely acknowledged to have been a mediocre year for commercial pop music. |
 | | Bland, generic pop music ruled the charts last year, ranging from Celine Dion's "Titanic"-derived hits to Shania Twain's crossover country-pop, and the 41st annual Grammy Award ceremony, broadcast on CBS-TV on Wednesday night, Feb. 24 at 8 and on the Internet at http://www.grammy.com, will reflect that. |
 | | The highly-touted Lauryn Hill, a member of the hit group the Fugees, deserves every nomination she received for her solo debut, "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill," a marvelous throwback to classic-era Stevie Wonder that was nominated for best album and best female pop vocal performance, among others. |
