Jesse McCartney's hitting the Grammys for the first time ever this weekend... and he'll be rooting for Leona Lewis! Why? Although Jesse's hits "Leavin'" and "How Do You Sleep?" are rockin' the charts, it's his songwriting skills that landed him at the big-time award show. Yup, he co-wrote "Bleeding Love" with One Republic's Ryan Tedder... which is nominated for the biggest award of the night, Record of the Year!
J-14 chatted exclusively with Jesse this week to get the scoop about his Grammy adventures!
J-14: How does it feel to be nominated for a Grammy?
Jesse: I'm just so thrilled. It's amazing for us and for Leona. It's the Grammy awards. It's one of the biggest and more prestigious nights for the music industry and everyone and their mother will be there, so it's going to be cool.
J-14: How did you find out about the nomination?
Jesse: It's funny -- I was on tour and traveling a lot with Katy Perry because she was on the same route. We found out simultaneously that she got nominated and that "Bleeding Love" got nominated. It was a big night!
J-14: What does a Grammys mean to you?
Jesse: This is going to be my first time attending the Grammys. I love the Grammy Foundation -- I'm getting more active with them and really trying to give back to the kids out there. I just did Career Day with the Grammy Foundation a couple of days ago. They bussed these kids in from inner-city schools to teach them about music and get them involved in the whole music industry. Everyone over there at the Grammy Foundation is really fun to be around so it's going to be a good weekend.
J-14: What will be going through your head when they're about to announce the winner in your category?
Jesse: I'm sure that I'll be sitting on the edge of my seat a little bit!
J-14: Do you ever wish you sang "Bleeding Love" on your album?
Jesse: No, I don't. I did sing it when I recorded the demo of it, but I don't regret it at all. Leona really owned the song and made it what it is today. Who knows if it ever would have blown up if it was recorded by me or any other artist. It may have had to be for Leona -- and Leona only. I really have no regrets about and I can't complain. She got me a number one hit!

Lexi and Jess, I don't really respect the fact you called me ugly. Now, I'm gonna impersonate you both even more.
Get lost, Jesikah. I'm waiting for someone to come on...........
They are all probs still at forensics.....LOL
I'm here! Congrats Jesikah your impesanations are getting better. I thought that was you Ty. Lol
You get lost Ty.
No, I'm not getting lost. YOU get lost.
Hi Michelle!!!!!!!! How you feeling? I'm glad you are back I thought I scared you the other day about the 10 % thing and you didn't like me anymore!!! LOL!!!\
How is Ireland????
Jesikah I don't know if your're ugly or not but that doesn't matter. Well least you told us you're gonna impersonate them. Now we know. Lol.
LOL I guess not Michelle!!!
Jesikah I don't know if your're ugly or not but that doesn't matter. Well least you told us you're gonna impersanate them. Now we know. Lol.
You are getting homeschooled????
NOW you will be crazy......LOL
Sorry I G2g!!!!!
TTYT!!!!!
I didn't get 2 c all of the grammy awards, but I hope he won a grammy! ♥ ♥ ♥
Hey!!! I'm back!
Is anyone on???
Ty impersonated me and I have proof. Argue with it all you want. It was never at the same time as him. Like the one saying "Get Lost Ty" was at 7:22, 3 minutes before Ty's comment came on. A comment like that WOULD take that amount of time with posting and all that. And you can never see what what the other person has written until you do another post. And the possibilities of Ty being on another post and then coming back right after it is posted is low. Argue with it if you must. But it makes sense.
Gossip Girl and Ty, come on the interview with Jarvis.
Ty lets chat on the first interview thing...........
Hey!!! I havea HUGE stomach ache!!! I ate a mini back of chocolate covered pretzels, two king sized hershey bars, and i a million chocolate kisses!!!!! This is gonna sound stupid and eregant and stuff, but I am NOT meaning for it to sound like that. Kay? LOL. Im the kind if person who can eat a lot and not gain any weight, so I eat A LOT!!!!! My stomach hurts now. LOL it was worth it. And to top it off, I drank a cup of CHOCOLATE milk to wash it down. Like my moms says, I need to "Cut down on the chocolate". And it is true. LOL!!!
Isn't chocolate awesome!!!
Jesikah, it makes sense, but I dont really know.......niether do I care. LOL
LOL Jess!!! I LOVE chocolate!!! But I dont eat that much of it though....I havent had chocolate in a while. But since Valentines Day is Saturday I'm sure I'll get some!!!! YAY!!! I love Valentines Day!!!
Sorry I havent been on yet today!!! I was shopping with my BFF. I love to shop!!! LOL I bought this pair of earring and.......you dont care. LOL
Wow Jess. I never knew a person could eat that much chocolate!!! LOL!!! I eat chocolate here and there. LOL!
I love Valentines Day!!!! And this year I actually have a boyfriend to spend it with. Well, hopefully I do. If we can last another week!!! LOL JK!!!
Hey!!! LOL Bailey!!! I dont have a boyfriend :(. Oh well Im still gonna have fun with my other BFFs. LOL.

I can not believe that Jesse did not win this Bleeding Love was at number 1 for awhile and Viva La Vida was never that big.
If that is who won I can't remember, they won a bunch of awards that night.
Jesse deserved it, Gahh!
