50th Annual Grammy Awards

[PlayaHataSupreme]

Well, not that I really follow these things or anything, but we are less than two months away from the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.

Record of the Year:

Beyonce - Irreplaceable
Foo Fighters - The Pretender
Rihanna f/Jay-Z - Umbrella
Timberlake - What Goes Around
Amy Winehouse - Rehab



Album of the Year:

Foo Fighters - Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
Vince Gill - These Days
Herbie Hancock - River: The Joni Letters
Kanye - Graduation
Winehouse - Back to Black





The only thing I found interesting is this: No Robin Thicke nominations, not even for Male R&B Vocal Performance. Maybe somebody could help me understand that.............

Grammy's have always been over-rated but those lists are terrible.

Definitely agree with that. Who are the Male R&B nominees anyway, he had the best R&B album this year imo.
Best Male R&B Vocal Performance
(For a solo vocal performance. Singles or Tracks only.)

• Woman
  Raheem DeVaughn
  [Jive Records]
• B.U.D.D.Y.
  Musiq Soulchild
  Track from: Luvanmusiq
  [Atlantic Records]
• Because Of You
  Ne-Yo
  [Def Jam Recordings]
• Future Baby Mama
  Prince
  Track from: Planet Earth
  [Columbia/NPG Records]
• Please Don't Go
  Tank
  Track from: Sex, Love & Pain
  [Blackground/Universal Motown]

Tank would go, Neyo would go. Haven't heard of Raheem. Prince is...well Prince.

Best R&B Album

• Funk This
  Chaka Khan
  [Burgundy Records]
• Lost & Found
  Ledisi
  [Verve Forecast]
• Luvanmusiq
  Musiq Soulchild
  [Atlantic]
• The Real Thing
  Jill Scott
  [Hidden Beach Recordings]
• Sex, Love & Pain
  Tank
  [Blackground/Universal Motown Records]

Easily take Tank off the list. Haven't heard Chaka Khan's or Ledesi's, but I think RT's album was better than both Musiq's (and I am a big fan of Musiq's) and Tank's. Jill Scott did her thing, I can't argue with that. Big snub though imo.

I still don't understand the difference between an album and a record (in relation to these awards.)

Re: 50th Annual Grammy Awards

The Grammys have no credibility. This is the same body that denied Elvis any awards.

You read that right....They also seem to love handing out awards to artists when their best days are behind them and it's one big make up for neglecting work from the past that deserved to win awards.

The AMAs are more credible IMO.

Haven't heard of Raheem.

...

You haven't heard of Raheem DeVaughn? That's a damn shame. You need to cop The Love Experience ASAP.

I'm stupid man. Just went to youtube to see if I heard any of his songs, and I have. I just didn't pay enough attention to him to get his name. I'll check the album out though.

Raheem Devaughn should win but he probably won't. Robin Thicke is good but he isn't anything close to Raheem.

Re: 50th Annual Grammy Awards

There is too much Kanye, and not enough of my boy Plies.

I find Robin Thicke overrated.

Re: 50th Annual Grammy Awards

I find Robin Thicke overrated.

Least he's better then some other "blue eyed soul" types from the past. Then again, that's not saying much.

[Flyboy]

Re: 50th Annual Grammy Awards

Eh, I have his album and besides from a few songs he doesn't really do much for me. I find him to be a poor man's Justin Timberlake.

[jmood88]

Re: 50th Annual Grammy Awards

I liked his album better than Timberlake's, although that isn't saying much.
