Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood among 2010 Grammy Award nominees

Tonight's Grammy Award Nomination Concert on CBS lacked any mention of anything Idol (with the exception of second-long clips of Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry singing along in a montage of The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" and a clip of Kelly Clarkson's "Already Gone" music video), there were a few nominations for alums of the franchise, which can be seen below:

Best Pop Vocal Album - All I Ever Wanted, Kelly Clarkson

Best Female Country Vocal Performance - "Just A Dream," Carrie Underwood

Best Country Collaboration With Vocals - "I Told You So," Carrie Underwood & Randy Travis

Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album - Freedom, Mandisa

Best Musical Show Album - Ain't Misbehavin' Robert Sher, producer (Various, composer; Various, lyricist) (30th Anniversary Cast Recording With Ruben Studdard, Frenchie Davis & Others)

Although there seem to be less Idol nominees this year than last, it's always good to see at least some thrown in the mix. Still, the fact that none are represented in the major categories is a little disappointing.

The 2010 Grammy Awards will air on CBS on Sun., Jan. 31, at 8 p.m. ET. A full list of nominees for all categories can be found here.
