The Recording Academy officially announced its Grammy Nominations for 2013 Wednesday evening (Dec. 5) - and the hugely successful pop megastar Justin Bieber didn't make the cut. The Biebs' manager Scooter Braun was pretty upset about the Grammy snub, and recently vented out his frustrations on Twitter, slamming the Recording Academy for completely "blowing it."

Braun started off his Twitter rant early Thursday morning by congratulating Carly Rae Jepson on her two Grammy nods for "Call Me Maybe." Then he really tore into the Recording Academy, insisting that Bieber's 2013 Grammy snub was just wrong:

@scooterbraun: "first...congrats to @carlyraejepsen . thought u deserved a best new artist nom, but proud Call Me Maybe got u 2 noms. so proud of u."

@scooterbraun: "second....this time there won't be any wise words, no excuses, I just plain DISAGREE. The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one... the hardest thing to do is transition, keep the train moving. the kid delivered. Huge successful album, sold out tour, and won people over... this time he deserved to be recognized and I don't really have any kind nice positive things to say about a decision i don't agree with... so to all those nominated...you do deserve it. You worked hard and u earned it. Just feel like so did JB... To his fans...looks like we get to stay the underdog a little longer. #BRINGIT... I got a lot more I can say but for now....Im gonna leave it at that. Congrats to all those who got nominated including our own CRJ... life is long, with many ups and downs, but we get to keep going, everyday brings a new opportunity. NOTHING GREAT EVER CAME EASY.

At least Braun kept it pretty clean and rather positive, not attempting to bash any of the other nominees and still remaining hopeful for bigger and better things in the future.

The founder of Schoolboy Records does have the right to be somewhat peeved - Bieber's third studio album "Believe" debuted at no 1 on the Billboard charts back in June, selling over 2 million copies. Some Top 10 hit singles include "Boyfriend," "As Long as You Love Me," and "Beauty and a Beat." So what's the deal with the Biebs not nominated for at least one of those hits?

So what do Beliebers think about the pop star's 2013 Grammy snub, and Braun's reaction to the unfortunate news?
