Eminem, Jay-Z & Lady Gaga Nominated For 2010 Brit Awards. While Susan Boyle Shut Out

Lady Gaga, Eminem and Jay-Z have proven to be International stars. Illustrated by their nominations at UK's The Brit Awards. While one of the world's biggest sensations in 2009, Susan Boyle has been totally shut out.

It seems astonishing that Susan Boyle who has sold more than 1.6 million copies of her debut album "I Dreamed A Dream" in the UK alone wouldn't at least be asked to perform. But Ged Doherty, chairman of the BRITs Committee and Sony Music U.K. chairman and CEO, says. "Susan won't be performing on the show, not this year" according to Billboard.

The award show which will be held at London's Earls Court on February 16 will feature performances by Lily Allen, Jay-Z and Cheryl Cole according to Music-News Underground.

Lady Gaga received a total of three nominations. Jay-Z has two while Taylor Swift, Black Eyed Peas, Rihanna, Eminem and Shakira are all up for one apiece.
