    This is awful, i won’t watch that mess, i’m not even interested in the category of “Best Rock album”, i mean, are this nominations for real, glad I’ve never liked the Grammys.

    • CBE December 6, 2012

      Count me on the “Not tuning in list”

      I think they focused on singles more the albums this year hence people like Niki Minaj, JB were snubbed but Taylor atleast got noms, CB got one but yeah its a snooze fest alright! unless they trick us by letting our faves perform.

  4. Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 5, 2012

      • VAMP ORA CULLEN December 6, 2012

        I AM HERE AS YOU REQUESTED!

  5. Mrs Robyn Brown (Beyonce’s Weave) December 5, 2012

    Damn, how many nominations is that for Francine Ocean? I guess it does get better eh?

    P.S Did anyone else spot Francine Ocean’s French boo?

  6. Monstarebel (WARRIOR) December 5, 2012

    THAT LIST IS TO LONG FOR ME TO CARE……

    BUT CONGRATULATIONS TO RIHANNA KATY & NICKI SNATCH ALL THE AWARDS #PHUCKYOFAV

    • Fresh Navy December 5, 2012

      nicki isnt nominated for anything.

      katy has one nom

      rihanna has 3

      • Monstarebel (WARRIOR) December 5, 2012

        omg WTF HOW CANT NICKI BE NOMINATED FOR ANYTHING YET BEYONCE IS STILL GETTING NOMINATED FOR A ALBUM THAT CAME OUT IN 2011 WTFAWWWWWWWK!!!! IM F****** PISSSED

      • EJ December 6, 2012

        That’s what I’m saying…how the f*** is Beyonce nominated for s*** and she ain’t even put nothing out…it’s really a shame. Then they nominate Nicki for absolutely nothing when she had some of the best songs of this year, and one of the best selling albums of the year. It’s really a shame, especially when they nominate Frank Ocean for publicity. smdh. Like, what has he done this year? Nicki should have at least got nominated for best rap album or best rap song. This Grammy’s is trippin’ and I WON’T be watching.

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 6, 2012

        Nicki is still super rich and the most famous, best selling female rapper EVER. Haters can never take that away. Madonna did not get her fist grammy till 1998. Like they ignored VOGUE?

    • EJ December 6, 2012

      Anyway, she won a VMA, 2 AMAs, and a BET Award, so this gonna be a show she just gonna have to sit out I guess….and all the people who got nominated for Album of the Year, I never f****** heard of before…like WTF? I’m pressed…#spacebar.

      • Common Sense December 6, 2012

        Of course you’ve never heard of them before; you listen to garbage like Nicki Minaj.

    • Monstarebel (WARRIOR) December 6, 2012

      @EJ EXACTLY IM PISSED STARSHIPS WAS ON OF THE BEST SELLING SINGLES OF THIS YEAR SHE SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN ANY RAPPER THIS YEAR SMFH…….

      • Common Sense December 6, 2012

        Sales =/= quality.

      • DeezNuts December 6, 2012

        So “Based on a TRU story” was a quality Rap album?

        “all I want for my birthday is a big booty h**?” I mean, I’m not one to put others down but, in my opinion PFRR is of far better quality.

    • Whaaaat? December 6, 2012

      @ MONSTAREBEL (WARRIOR), It looks like u should have read the list because Nicki isn’t nominated for anything stupid! lol. Im starting to think that you’re a robot. Sam need to start spam checking before allowing comments. SMH!

  7. danny b December 5, 2012

    YASSSSS Frank Ocean & Kelly Clarkson for those nods!!!! And also Miguel!

    And already Congratulations on Beyonce’s 17th Grammy. “Love On Top” definitely has that in the bag. This should be an interesting show.

    • King B>Rihanna December 5, 2012

      Wrong Side of a Love song just might win it is a very good song.It would not shock me.

    • ABCD December 6, 2012

      SWVs If Only You Knew is a STRONG ONE.!

    • mc the place to be!! December 6, 2012

      ummmm im pretty sure lately got this one beyonce over anita baker you gotta be kidding me

  8. Jessica December 5, 2012

    Im so happy Miguel was nominated this time. He deserves it!!! And Nas is nominated for four!!! OMG YES!! This man has been overlooked for so many years and its a shame. Finally, a rap artist who isnt talking about ass, money, cars, and clothes is nominating.

    • Jessica December 5, 2012

      *nominated

      • Owww December 5, 2012

        Yes Nas is the truth! Life is Good is my s***! Glad Miguel got recognised! he is a talented dude!

  9. Monstarebel (WARRIOR) December 5, 2012

    & Frank ocean really wassup with all these nominations?? did his album even go plastic yet?

    • SG3 December 6, 2012

      The grammy’s are not about sales; it’s said to be about quality of work. Billboard and AMA’s lean more toward sales, spins, popularity.

  10. danny b December 5, 2012

    Real question, no shade no tea: was We Found Love up for awards last year? I cant remember.

    • Yea i said it December 5, 2012

  20. MrTooIncredible December 5, 2012

    You know Rita Whora is reading these comments and wishes she could be a STAR. Well you aren’t B**** !

    • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 5, 2012

      She is a global w**** and black man industry c** bucktet. DOES THAT COUNT?

  21. milli December 5, 2012

    Welp!! Congrats to Beyonce on her 17th Grammy. Also to riri YAS FOR 3 NODS.
    She deserves at least 1.

    • Yea i said it December 5, 2012

      • sharon December 6, 2012

  22. Mrs Robyn Brown (Beyonce’s Weave) December 5, 2012

    She got a standing ovation for this one.

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4LXdT5qtJs

    I sure do hope Rihanna is performing. Her performing “What now” at the Grammy’s would slay my life.

    • Monstarebel (WARRIOR) December 5, 2012

      OMG IF SHE PERFORMS WHAT NOW AT THE F****** GRAMMYS THAT WOULD BE EPIC, LEGENDARY,PHENOMENAL, ICONIC OMG

      • Mrs Robyn Brown (Beyonce’s Weave) December 5, 2012

        I know, just thinking about it is driving me crazy.

      • oh baby (b****** will Deal) December 6, 2012

        I also really enjoyed that AMA performance. She brought it.

    • oh baby (b****** will Deal) December 6, 2012

      Not a fan, actually I’m not a “believer”of r****’s art, but with diamonds and what now and half of me she outdid herself. I f****** love those songs, especially what now. S*** even love without tragedy/mother marry. Unflopogetic has it’s winners too 😉 if she were to perform any song I mentioned and deliver vocally like she sometimes does, I’ll be slayed for life.

    • zzzzzb December 6, 2012

      She killed this performance!

  23. Eric December 5, 2012

    Awards shows tend to favor the idea of long-term viability over the quality of the work they reward. I’m over it.

  24. CHUDDS December 5, 2012

    Ms Frank is severely overrated. I can’t take. But Congrats to Miguel he deserves it! Plus that hair staaays laid honey!

    • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 5, 2012

      It is only the gay thing. He has not talent so he needs to flaunt d***. He is at it again with this french model. He will fade out next year. He has not even gon gold in the USA.

      • Common Sense December 6, 2012

        LOL at clueless idiots that don’t even have the slightest clue at what real music is judging it by sales numbers. The reason Frank Ocean has all those noms is because his music has at least SOME artistic integrity something garbage like Minaj/Rihanna will never have.

    • zzzzzb December 6, 2012

      Don’t really care for Frank Ocean but I love Miguel.

      • FAF December 6, 2012

        Frank’s not overrated he’s nervous during his performances b/c he’s used to working behind the scenes
        he doesn’t promote, have paparazzi, etc.
        so how can he be overrated?

    • LittleJohnny December 6, 2012

      I was scared to say this because it seems everyone is on his side since he announced his bisexuality but Lord knows people have been totally overrating this dude. I wish him much success but he is average talent.

  25. Yea i said it December 5, 2012

    sorry i mean 13 solo!

  26. NAVI December 5, 2012

    MIGUEL>>>>>> I’m so glad he finally got some recognition..his album is no doubt one of the best releases this year, congrats!! Oh yeah Riri and everyone else who got nomi.

    • NAVI December 5, 2012

      F*** even NAS!!!

  27. Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 5, 2012

    The navy are having a great week. While RITA CHEETER WORA SLORA gets PUBLICLY dragged for being a w****,as well as flopping. Rih has scored 3 grammy nods; she has a new TV SHOW COMING TO THE USA; SHE KILLED THE VICKY SECRets fashion show to an audience of nearly 10 million.; she has her first number 1 USA LP , WITH HER BEST SALES; SHE has the global number 1 LP AND SINGLE; SHE HAS THE 12 number 1 breaking records; covers of mens and fashion mags; she has her man back in her life; she directed her first ever fashion shoot.

    WHEN WILL YO FAVE? KEEP WHORES PRESSED SINCE 2005

    • NAVI December 5, 2012

      which TV SHOW¸??

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 5, 2012

        GOOD news. They kept making fun of Style to rock getting low ratings in the UK. But, there is so much power in her name…….Style network, owned by E! have picked it up and are going re make the show for us, THE AMERICANS. She lives in teh USA, so she will be in it more. THIS ONE WILL BE BIGGER AND BETTER THAN THE UK VERSION. Which she filmed in 5 days.

  28. King B>Rihanna December 5, 2012

    I guess I will come out as being bi-sexual(never said i was gay so the LGBTQ need to drop it), write a long ass letter, make a mediocre album although some songs were really good and then i can win grammys.I like Frank and think he is talented but he is overrated, his sexuality sells not his music(ask some of his fans to name 7 sngs off of Channel Orange and his first mixtape and they cant) and she would just be a song-writer because that is his strength not being an artist.

    • HEY F** December 5, 2012

      KING B <RIHANNA

      • King B>Rihanna December 6, 2012

        Well i have my opinion and you have yours

    • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 5, 2012

      HE cannot live on the gay thing forever. Miguel has him beat in looks, voice and talent. Plus, he is loves women and is normal guy doing his thing. His parents will be very proud of how he turned out. He does not need to suck c*** for fame. Miguel will make a lovely daddy and husbands. e f**** bad b******.

      • Common Sense December 6, 2012

        Rihanna has been living on s***** singles and her getting beat up by CB for 4 years now. Maybe he’ll have the same luck?

    • Mrs Robyn Brown (Beyonce’s Weave) December 5, 2012

      And I like Crack rock, Bad religion, Forrest Gump, second part of Pyramids and Thinking about you. “Lost is my favorite though. Give the album a chance, you might like it.

      • BitchICan’tEvenSpellWelfare December 6, 2012

        “Lost” is my favorite song on the album! Brilliant!

      • King B>Rihanna December 6, 2012

        i have listened to the whole album.

      • Nik December 6, 2012

        What about “Pink Matter”?

      • oh baby (b****** will Deal) December 6, 2012

        Pink matter and forest gump my favs!

      • Mrs Robyn Brown (Beyonce’s Weave) December 6, 2012

        Yasss love “Pink Matter” too.

    • mc the place to be!! December 6, 2012

      ummm frank ocean music is great the grammys is showing this year that sales dont really matter and the quality of your work matters which for the last 2 or 3 years theyve been giving them to ppl who actually sold alot im proud of frank ocean and who cares if he came out it it worked for him because his music is actually good!!!

  29. Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 5, 2012

    S*** W**** CHEERTER WHORA DOES NOT HAVE TALENT. IF SHE DID THE GRAMMIES WOULD OF NOMINATED HWD AND RIP. GRAMMYS no there is not talent in that W**** CLONE.

    • Whaaaat? December 6, 2012

      Will u shut the f*** up! Nobody cares what u have to say!

      • zzzzzb December 6, 2012

        I care what she/he has to say. I enjoy Reading this LMAO

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 6, 2012

        You are mad that I am dragging Rita Whora? GOOOD! It is what I set out to do. I will do more. Merry Xmas.

  30. Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 5, 2012

    Sam,

    as a black british man, How comes you have ignored estelle getting nominated for a grammy and having a career? YOU keep shoving that white trash W**** down our throat, worse than ROB does his d*** down her throat.

    • FAF December 6, 2012

      Didn’t her album come out last yr ?

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 6, 2012

        Yoo knoe damm well her LP did not come the same year as Beyonce

  31. BitchICan’tEvenSpellWelfare December 5, 2012

    Am I strange because i like both Frank AND Miguel? They are COMPLETELY different, their music has 0 in common, yet people constantly pit them against each other. Makes absolutely NO sense. Anyway….

    GREAT nominations – Frank, Miguel, Beyonce, Rihanna, NAS, Jay-Z, Anita Baker, Kanye, The Robert Glasper Experiment (brilliant album), Ledisi, Anthony Hamilton….I’m very happy! 🙂

  32. Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 5, 2012

    Cheeter Rita whora slora: Black man c** dump. White man c** dump. Armenian man c** dump. Mixed man c** dump. Hawaiian man c** dump.

    • Common Sense December 6, 2012

      Sounds like someone is jealous.

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 6, 2012

        Of Rih being nominated for 3 gram? I know you are jealous and your w**** is too.

    • Whaaaat? December 6, 2012

      No you’re jealous of Rita! It’s obvious with your comments and name. Everyone knows it.

      • FAF December 6, 2012

        Why are ppl still talking about this ?!?

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 6, 2012

        You are jealous of Rihanna. You wish Rihanna can fail like Rita Whora. Nope! She is getting bigger and better and Whora cannot catch her LOL LOL LOL I love seeing Rih win, Whora fail and you die with jealousy and envy.

      • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 6, 2012

        People are talking about this because she is w****. Not this talented singer who was gonna snatch wigs. She w**** and she will never live this down.

      • oh baby (b****** will Deal) December 6, 2012

        Lol, not the biggest nicki fan, but I’m starting to love her again (thanks to her interviews lol, I think she has the most entertaining interviews) and I think she deserved a Grammy nod or two. I hated her last album but I loved the re-up funny enough and hopefully they’ll nominate her next year for that?

      • FAF December 6, 2012

        What y’all gon do when re-up gets nominated ? KIIIII

    • LTM December 6, 2012

      Her album was straight trash

      • NAVI December 6, 2012

        There you go, thank you!

    • Common Sense December 6, 2012

      Snubbed? LOL Not nominating her was one of the few things The Grammys got right this year.

    • MC December 6, 2012

      snubbed? Snubbed was when Mariah got snubbed 8-10 Grammys in 1996 Grammys for Daydream…..she went home empty handed. SMH.

    • FAF December 6, 2012

      Snubbed is when you don’t WIN @monstarebel

  37. Floridaevans December 6, 2012

    Why are people mad about Frank’s nominations tho?!

    Well get ready to *seethe* some more because “channel/Orange” will be in MANY Top 20 albums of 2012 lists, so…….

    I have so many favorites in each category that I don’t really care who wins.

    I just want to see NAS, Frank, and Miguel get some wins!

    Bey or Anita would be awesome.

    M.I.A. or Rihanna would be great.

  38. LTM December 6, 2012

    Why would Rita have any noms when none of her songs were submitted? Anyways, congrats to Katy, Beyonce, and especially Rih!! Im baffled by Carly Rae`s noms though o_O

    • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 6, 2012

      Trust me, ROC NATION PROLLY TRIED TO BUY HER nominations. Have you seen out they have FORCED THIS W**** DOWN OUR THROATS?

  39. Monstarebel (WARRIOR) December 6, 2012

    UGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!!!

  40. AmbeRussell December 6, 2012

    Usher Looking for myself shoulda gotten contem. rnb album nomination.
    LMFAO best performance by a duo?? 0___o
    Call me maybe best solo pop vocal performance??? she sung very basic
    shockers: Kelly clarkson and strong as well as Adorn by Miguel.
    Carly, Katy and Rihanna all for pop vocal performance… must a been a slow yr for pop singers…
    Nothing from Sparkle???
    but congrats to every1 and i hope the academy honors those who are deserving and not who are “it” artists.

    • FAF December 6, 2012

      she’s had 4

      do u really think “starships” was gonna win song of the yr ?

      do u really think “Roman Reloaded” would win RAP album of the yr?

      y’all are delusional when y’all wanna be..

      The re-up is eligible for 2014

  42. SHA (F*** The Navy and LAX) December 6, 2012

    I think Frank Ocean is very talented but best new artist over Lana Del Rey Lianne la Havas and Elle Varner come on I was extremely shocked when I didn’t see lianne la havas REALLY???????????

  43. Mark December 6, 2012

    Glad Fun. got some. Some nights is a great album/

  44. Lana Del Slay December 6, 2012

    How did Carly get nominations over Lana?!! I thought the Grammys were about quality not the amount of units sold. I guess not. But congrats to Rihanna, Miguel, and M83

    • Common Sense December 6, 2012

      We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together being nominated for record of the year should have clued you in that the Grammys don’t exactly look for quality any more.

  45. oh baby (b****** will Deal) December 6, 2012

    Yasssssss slayonce, I really wasn’t expecting you to get any more nods from 4! I’m so ecstatic for you. Well deserved, should we get the champagne out for celebrating your 17th Grammy? I think so, but Melanie Fiona is also nominated and I’m kinda worried. But good luck motha. But I’m sooo happy Miguel is nominated! I f****** love his album, Frank ocean too, but we all saw this one coming so meh.but good luck nonetheless and forest gump is still my fav from that album! Congrats everybody else. I’ll be tuning in.hopefully Miguel and Bey get to perform!

    • oh baby (b****** will Deal) December 6, 2012

    Frank Ocean becomes the first openly Q**** Male artist to have is debut Album (CHANNEL ORANGE) be Nominated for Album Of The Year! And Second Q**** Person after LadyGaga!!!!! History in the Making! Good Job Frank, Show people it really does GET BETTER!

    • Flop Cheeta Whora gave Rob an S** from her 20 guys December 6, 2012

      What gets better? A what is wrong with a man and woman getting married and starting a family? I starting to think men marrying women and having kids is very an evil thing,. They way being straight is being dragged in the western world.

      • Bey Fan December 6, 2012

        Being straight isnt being being dragged…..

        Ppl expecting homosexual is being celebrated. To not have to hide who you are because of fear. And better for women, to not have so many men f****** dudes on the side because they’re afraid come out.

    B****** love the highlight her shortcomings but dont even acknoledge her accomplishments. Its all good though!

    NIcki has had a tough year, not success wise (cuz shes winning), but just being scrutinized, targeted, and bullied. I worried people will never see how much of an inspiring person she is because they cant see pass her persona! This snub is a little tough for me to swallow, BUT, I love her and she will always have my support! 🙂 Love ya NIcki! Congrats to all the nominees, they deserved it!

    • jamilaa December 6, 2012

      SHUT DA F*** UP! FLOP B**** NICKI! BUHAHAHAHA

    • the real xoxo December 6, 2012

      Targeted? Bullied?
      All of the abuse Nicki suffered this year was brought upon by herself. if she kept her mouth shut, nobody would say anything.

      • Deeznuts December 7, 2012

        Thats a lie! No matter WHAT Nicki does she’s targeted and mocked. When she’s sincere, shes called a fake b****. When she’s cocky, she called a fake b****. When she puts out a pop record, shes called a sell out. When she puts out a rap record, shes called a talentless h**. SHe doesnt have to say anything and people throw shots. BUT if she defends herself she’s called a psycho b****! SOOOOOO like the F*** I WAS SAYING….

        WE LOVE YOU NICK! NEXT YEAR IS YOUR YEAR…I CAN FEEL IT! 🙂

  52. Mrs Robyn Brown (Beyonce’s Weave) December 6, 2012

    Sorry Diamond, I love you on X Factor USA but ONLY Rihanna can do this song justice and ONLY Rihanna can turn this into a hit (unless Sia features Flo Rida in a David Guetta dance version of it)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gm1hfaDxmbk&feature=g-u-u

    • zzzzzb December 6, 2012

      I love Diamond and she is one of my favs but I just noticed something. NOBODY CAN SING A RIHANNA SONG. Only Rihanna can sing her songs. I’ve heard so many other covers of this song and it’s not as good as the original. If they would have given this song to someone else it would not be huge.

  53. NFG (no f**** given) December 6, 2012

    I feel bad for nicki. They grammys have always been snobs anyways. Jazmine Sullivan was nominated but never won. But congrats to the other nominees even the ones I don’t like….

  57. The real xoxo December 6, 2012

    Nas better win best rap album.
    They are giving Channel Orange too much, i hope miguel and frank both win a couple though.
    I dont see Siliconika anywhere, serves her right for that dreadful performance last year!

  58. MISHKA December 6, 2012

    “Frank Ocean, Kanye West, and Jay Z are among the males dominating this year’s nominations (with 6 each) while pop tart pals Katy Perry & Rihanna nabbed multiple mentions as well.”

    —————————————-

    What about the new best thing in R&B aka MIGUEL,TGJ??????????? GOH!

    He got 5 or 6 nominations as well, including SONG OF THE YEAR!

    I’m so happy, everybody I rooted for got a nom and has at least one grammy on lock: MIGUELITO, QUEEN BEY and KANYE!

    Life’s good!

    #BEY17: WHO MAD THOUGH? *throws cookie*

  60. antertain December 6, 2012

    How cool for Estelle liking that for her!!!

    Really hope Nas gets a grammy
    Glad for Tyrese as i really like his album
    Kelly Clarkson & Pink im pleased
    Miguel & Frank O did excellent albums so deserve the recognition.

    The Throne was a BEAST pairing so that was a given that they would have some noms.
    Ohhh of course shout out to one of my big favs Monica getting a nom featured on James Fortunes Hold On

  61. CBE December 6, 2012

    Skipping this year’s grammys, I was also going to do the same with AMAS but they p*** me off when they invite CB to perform and like a little good puppy he attends for 1 nomination? You will never see Khanye,Jay Z, Eminem, Beyonce attend for crumbs…I dont want to watch but these execs are slick and will want him for ratings.

  62. JoJo December 6, 2012

    Beyonce and Miguel <3

  63. Hybridavenue December 6, 2012

    People are getting upset about some of the people nominated, but record labels submit the artist and songs to be nominated and then they vote for the winner.

  64. soulmusiclover December 6, 2012

  66. bigtranny December 6, 2012

    i want you to stand up on your feet and give it up for the QUEEN BEYONCE

    • Just Sayin December 6, 2012

      i am not apart of the BHive, but you do have a Lamb standing up for Beyonce right now.

  67. Bad Bytch December 6, 2012

    Yesssss SWV, Tamia and Tyrese really deserved their nominations this year

    • MUSICMANIAC December 6, 2012

      amen, i fell out the chair when i saw swv!!

  68. Nick December 6, 2012

    And the Love The Grammys are still giving Amy Winehouse is just amazing

  69. Just Sayin December 6, 2012

    in the words of the scissor sisters, LETS HAVE A KIKI
    while these last few months showed Nikki Minaj fans go OFF on this page, calling her the Queen, bashing people, etc today has me asking the question, Where is the queens grammy nom? Not even one? (KIKI) NOw all these stans have changed those words to “she was snubbed” No Dahlings, she’s just not that good. Someone asked “how did she not get one, but beyonce got one for an album that came out in 2011?” the answer is simple, she’s a Queen in the music business. I don’t even stan for Beyonce (I like her) but my girl has always been Mariah. So when Nikki learns to be humble and actually create good music, she will always be “snubbed” at the Grammy’s. AND AS much as ya’ll want to read the Grammys, you know damn well it is the numero uno award for singers. thats all

    • zzzzzb December 6, 2012

      I really think the Mariah altercation backfired. Niki Minaj is classless. She thought is was good publicity but all she did was add more fuel to the fire. People were already sick of the chipmunk voices, weird faces, and wig tactics. I’m still trying to figure out why is she a judge on American Idol.

      • FAF December 6, 2012

        No one has to go off, hun

        12M on idol I see no Mariah nomination !

        LOL

      • MC December 6, 2012

        Dumb b****, Mariah’s album was released in 2009 why would it be nominated for 2013 Grammys? Delusional, desperate b**** like your fave the flop.

  70. MC December 6, 2012

    Congratulations to Anita Baker, Miguel, Elle Varner, Kelly Clarkson, Nas, and those who are truly deserving. The Grammys have long ago lost their credibility so at least this year they have some truly deserving.

  71. MRB December 6, 2012

    This years list is actually well done! Its a lot of talented people who are getting there just due (Frank Ocean, Miguel, Tamia, Kelly Clarkson ect) This will be a hard year because mostly everyone on this list deserves it!!! Congrats to all the nominees! To all you Nicki Stans No disrespect but Once again people need to understand that the industry artists, song writters and execs are voting for the people on this list! Which alot of these people are BIG supporters of LEGENDS AND ICONS!! HINT HINT Mariah Carey and Steven Tyler! Now the fact that her music is really garbage is part of the reason but SHE WILL NOT GET ANY NOMINATIONS until she humbles herself! Her disrespectful attitude is going to hold her back! Its funny to me because no matter how you stans support her and trash people like Mariah, Kim and other legends in the game she wont get a Grammy she might be getting her money but she will always be considered a problem child!!!!!!!! All those other little awards don’t matter on your resume! The Grammies is the only award in music that matters!

    • FAF December 6, 2012

      But when they dont win y’all will be upset

      LOL

      the grammys aren’t about talent, they’re about who was the most successful in their category that yr !

      Tamia won’t win ! Though she is the most talented ! FACTS !

      • MRB December 6, 2012

        When who dont win?? Frank Ocean is gonna get a grammy and so will Miguel! These are 2 very strong strong writters and they both penned the own music and have had several hits! Tamia might not win but its good to see she still got it!!!

  72. FAF December 6, 2012

    This post is confusing me !!

    So Nicki’s producer gets semi-nominated but through best production

    but no solo-nominations & ppl STILL saying music is dead, etc.

    how is music dead isn’t this what y’all FLOPS wanted ?

    No-name ppl who dont get recognition usually, outshining other, more famous ppl?

    TGJ is never satisfied ! SMH !

  73. Mary Mary Why You Buggin’ December 6, 2012

    1. “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”- WHY?
    2. “Call Me Maybe”- WHY?
    3. “Sorry For Party Rocking”- WHY?

    Just, WHY! That’s ^^^ the bad.

    The good: Miguel, Frank, Nas, Bey, Rihanna, ANITA BAKER, Sade, The Robert Glasper Experiment, Tamia, Jay-Z, Kanye, Ledsi, Anthony Hamilton, The Roots.

    I’m LOVING these nominations!!!!

  74. MUSICMANIAC December 6, 2012

  75. IDK December 6, 2012

    I hope Tyrese win Best R&B album! He deserves it.

  76. MUSICMANIAC December 6, 2012

    ALSO
    HOW CAN I FORGET ELLE VARNER, SHE DEF DESERVED MORE BUT CONGRATS LOVE!!!!!

  77. I&I(Bare Badness) December 6, 2012

    I am loving this list of nominations, much better than previous years. Congrats esp to Miguel & Nas

  78. Mely B December 6, 2012

    The only categories I care about and wanted to comment on are:

    Best R&B Performance: This will be between Miguel & Usher and they’ll probably give it to Usher Hon Mention – Estelle: love the lyrics and her but she hasn’t got a snowballs’ chance

    Best Traditional R&B Performance: This should be between Melanie Fiona (CONGRATS on the nom) & Anita Baker but they’ll probably going to give this to Bee

    Best R&B Song: I’m rooting for Elle (CONGRATS on the noms) but I think Miguel will win this one

    Best Urban Contemporary Album: Rooting for Miguel but I think Frank Ocean will win (I will throw shoes @ the tv if CB wins)

    Best R&B Album: all great (except Tyrese) so I’d be happy with whoever wins although I seriously doubt Kells will

    Best Rap Performance: Nas should win but they’ll probably give it to Jay & Kanye

    Best Rap/Sung Collaboration: I only listen to & like Nas/Amy Winehouse (RIP) & Rhi/Jay but don’t care who wins

    Best Rap Song: Daughters, hands down but again they’ll probably give it to Jay (although I pray that no one with sense would give any award to a song with the ‘n’ word in the title)

    Best Rap Album: Nas or The Roots (Drake’s put me to sleep each time I tried to listen to it)

    Best Gospel/Contemporary Christian Music Performance: Tamela Mann or Mary Mary

    Best Gospel Song: Hold On

    Best Gospel Album: all great nominees but I’m rooting for Identity or Jesus At the Center Live

    • IDK December 6, 2012

      Why not tyrese?

      • Mely B December 6, 2012

        He reveals his stupidity, arrogance & hatred of Black women on Twitter often enough for me to put him, his movies & his music on the ‘PAY NO MIND’ frequency.

  79. PEACE December 6, 2012

    I honestly think this is one of the BEST lists they have HAD IN A LONG TIME!!! excluding Carly Rae Jepsen and a few others but COngrats to Miguel (REAL TALENTED AND INVENTIVE ARTIST), Elle VArner Nas, Tamia, SWV and my girl Monica,, OMg so happy she along with FRed Hammond, and James Fortune got nominated… Thats a real Inspiring gospel song!

  80. NICK December 6, 2012

  82. JOHNVIDAL December 6, 2012

    I´m really surprised that the single from Miguel is nominated for SONG of Year!!! Congrats, he won´t win but congrats
    I don´t see how that Kelly Clarkson song “Stronger” can be nominated for record and song of the year?? It´s a good pop song if you want but really, not the type of song that should be nominated for a grammy-main category
    I hope Miguel and Florence win something, they deserve it. Both albums are so great
    And who the hell really thought Justin Beiber was going to be nominated?? Grammys get it wrong sometimes, but not that much 🙂
    I´m ok with Frank Ocean having many nominations. But he may not win. With the grammys you never know
    Overall, not bad, but I really think 2012 has been such a bad year for music in general, grammys didn´t have that many options, in fact I think that is the reason they let an R&B song get a song of the year nomination, very rare lately (not that Miguel doesn´t deserve it but u know what I mean)
    Why is that horrendous girl Carly or whatever her name is nominated for best vocal performance? With Adele for example? One of those jokes you´ll always have even at the grammys

    And where is Rihanna nominated? I didn´t even see it! 🙂 LOL at her crazy stans again acting as if she were doing it big at the grammys or something. She has another whole album and she got 2 or 3 minor nominations at the peak of her career? Girl bye. Congrats if you want but nothing to scream about. These kids…

    • BitchICan’tEvenSpellWelfare December 6, 2012

      Rihanna Featuring Jay-Z
      Track from: Talk That Talk
      [Def Jam]

      3.We Found Love Best Short Form Video
      Rihanna Featuring Calvin Harris
      Melina Matsoukas, video director; Juliette Larthe & Ben Sullivan, video producers

      • JOHNVIDAL December 6, 2012

        Thank U! The list was too long to care about her 🙂

    • Teacher December 6, 2012

      The fact that you were concerned about Rih tho lol….smh

      • JOHNVIDAL December 7, 2012

        I was not concerned. I just read too many crazy people talking about her and I tried to tell tham the truth 🙂

  83. mobwife December 6, 2012
