While Miley Cyrus is enjoying herself in Paris with Liam Hemsworth, the Hannah Montana star just got wind that her song ‘The Climb’ will not be up for a Grammy in the category of Best Song Written for a Soundtrack. The reason? It was never commissioned and written for that soundtrack specifically. The tune’s songwriter, Jessi Alexander, had shopped it to other artists before Cyrus and Disney grabbed it up. Competition rules are that the song must be written for the soundtrack to the movie it is nominated for. Alexander feels that substantial changes were made to the first version of the song she had written to make it work for the Hannah Montana soundtrack and therefore it should fit the guidelines. The execs at Disney did not see it that way and yanked it before NARAS (The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences – The Grammy’s) made it’s final call. Alexander is understandably disappointed in the big D’s decision and says:

“You can look at it a million ways. And I’m sure they wouldn’t do this if there wasn’t a true belief that it wasn’t eligible. To be honest, it’s devastating.”

Unfortunately for her, it is already decided that ‘The Climb’ will be replaced by Karen O’s ‘All in Love’ from Where The Wild Things Are. What do you think? Fair? or is everyone out to get Miley?
