I hope Adele beats out Jessie neatly, she be doin anything for fame. Her uniqueness is gone. Hope The Throne, Bey, Aloe Blacc and and EMELI SANDE bag it. Sam u’ve to start covering Emeli, if u can cover generic j then u’ve no excuse.

Sam sometimes is pathetic. Real talk. Sorry. How is special the Beyonce, Rihanna or Nicki Minaj nominations?? They have one and that´s it and Nicki has it only cos she was new this year, she is not on best international female. In case you didn´t notice cos of your obsession for getiing Beyonce and Rihanna fans at war, Gaga is nominated too. And specially you could have named Adele, jessie J or Coldplay, who are the ones that really count in these awards. Cos they are British and can be nominated in several categories
Anyway, ten years ago I thought the Brit awards were serious but now I know they aren´t, so probably the award will go to Rihanna. Grateful grammys still exist cos they are the only ones that still… well a few times they get it wrong, but you know, Rihanna or Britney can´t win grammys by their own, I mean serious categories. There is still hope

Smh how many times will i remind u this is an urban blog? Adele n Gaga are huge n all but they dont generate site traffic for Sam. At the end of the day, this is his day job, he has to think like a business man. The 3 u see up there are his moneymakers.

oh my days! who writes the blog for this site? when i read the story i was thinking beyonce/rihanna and nicki would have like 3 nominations each or something…they only have ONE each! and therefore all 3 FLOPPED!!!!LOL
the story should have said how BRITISH acts like ADELE/JESSIE J/ED SHEERAN AND FLORENCE & THE MACHINE dominated he nominations ist. and congrats to emeli sande aswell! beyonce didnt do all that, rihanna is bornng and manufactured and dnt get me started on niki! i hope LANA del rey wins that category!

First of all if u expected Bey, Rih or Nicki or any other american act tohave more than 1 nod, just shut up after that cus u jus showed ur ignorance and if u dont know about the Brit Awards, wat do u care who he highlighted in the headline.
Its like yall no nothing about journalism. Journalist make up headlines that grab attention not to “be fair” Anyways majority of tgj visitors are Americans so they dont care for the Brits eitherways. Other urban blogs wouldnt have highlighted the brit acts either so dunno wat yall callin Sam out on
@zed
U are a complete moron. I bet u dont even a degree, u have guts to call bankable celebrated women flops. So where does that leave u?

@john
Its a feat bcuz hordes of american artists released music in the UK besides those 5 nominated, i live in Europe so i know my ish. I can list other high profile US acts that released HITS n still werent nominated eg Britney, Katy, Jlo. This is an international award and no its not an exclusively US category. If no US thrived they wouldnt be nominated. David Guetta is not an American.

blah those 3 you mentioned didn´t sell shit in the UK compared to the other 5 nominated! It´s not about who´s better in this Brit awards either, only who was more popular in the uk. That´s why I started saying grammys are the only ones I still care about. Or are you going to say Katy and JLo are better than Beyonce??? haha just joking

Knowles’ adopted baby even has the same initials as Cantrell of B.C. It says a lot about their marriage, Knowles’ very low self-esteem and mental illness, to have pretended to be pregnant for attention and publicity, after her CD entitled “4″ which is about how many copies it sold, failed and flopped, marking the first bomb of her career. She just could not accept that.

January 12, 2012 at 5:28 pm
Ironically, in the song “Glory” Jay-Z mentioned Beyonce having a miscarriage, which gives credence to the many articles online stating Knowles used a surrogate and pretended to be pregnant for the cameras. If you remember correctly, months ago on the Judiciary Report in the September 27, 2011 article “Reeling From The Failure Of Her Current CD Beyonce Is Ill-Advisedly Rushing Back Into The Studio And While Pregnant” the site wrote, “Recording while pregnant can be risky for some women. In the 1990s, R&B legend, Whitney Houston, revealed she miscarried her baby, while recording her CD and engaging in other work related items.”

People of more fame and notoriety have given birth in public and private hospitals and did not go to the unbalanced extremes Beyonce and Jay-Z did, making a spectacle of it. Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are the most famous couple in the world and they safely gave birth twice, without all this hoopla and or costing other families the opportunity to see their newborns. However, the kids from those pregnancies are actually Jolie’s and could be Pitt’s, as they look a lot like her and bear a resemblance to him as well. Therefore, they didn’t need to mount a cover up, due to lies that were already told for publicity.

Who are the worst media whores in the entertainment industry. Is it the Kardashian family or the Knowles clan. In one corner you have Kim Kardashian, who married for money and more fame, banking $20,000,000 from a fake wedding, then ditching her husband Kris Humphries 2-months after the nuptials.

Of course Brits is based on popularity. I cant argue that, the int’l category moreso than others cus it recognises those who made impact in UK talented or otherwise. And yes those 3 dint do mch in uk (tho OTF was a HUGE HUGE hit fir Jlo) but that was my point, they dint jus pick popular US acts, they picked d ones that had an impact in the UK.

The Brits can’t possibly be based on popularity because Beyonce got a nod, and her album 4 and all the singles off it did pretty badly here in the UK, the album has been critically acclaimed but is not massively popular. The Brit Awards isn’t a public vote either so, no, its not a popularity contest people. This post does not appear to contain all the categories either ;o)

onxy do you actually believe the story that beyonce and jay z stopped parents from seeing their own babies? 1. health department in new york dismissed the claim.
PLUS, there was a big deal with angelina and brad, they hire a whole floor and confirmed it!
LMAO @ you still believing that she faked it. why do you suppose she put on a lot of weight on her face, arm, thigh etc?
Plus we hardly ever saw angelina being heavily pregnant! and brad and angelina pimp their kids out every chance they get! dont use them as example!

And @ONYX YOU’RE AN IDIOT FOR BELIEVING THAT!! That would be illegal for the hospital but i don’t hear any lawsuits. You know why??? Coz it was made up by TMZ for the likes of you…..
