![Nelly & Kelly Rowland Reunite to Perform Their 2002 Hit 'Dilemma' at the 2024 Baby2Baby Gala [Video]](https://thatgrapejuice.net/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/kelly-rowland-baby2baby-thatgrapejuice-2024-dilemma-nelly-464x260.jpg "Nelly & Kelly Rowland Reunite to Perform Their 2002 Hit 'Dilemma' at the 2024 Baby2Baby Gala [Video].")
I love your nomination list!! I just suggest the following:
Best video: Include “Back to black video”
** a category for most anticipated release for next year and put down:
Mariah
Janet
Monica
Erykah Badu
By “flop” do you mean, they were garbage or sales were??
i love most of the nomines but some was not cool in my opinion. but yeah i think you should take out mario, and mary under album of the year because mario out just came out and mary doesn’t even come out until tomorrow you should add like rihanna or beyonce
LET BRITNEY BE, YOU B****!!! YOU PIECE OF S***!!! SUCK A D*** THAT IS SO LARGE THAT AN ELEPHANT COULD FEEL ITSELF BEING F***** BY IT!
For the “most anticipated release for next year” you should also add Whitney Houston!
More importantly, maybe you can add Mya and her endlessly postponed Liberation to the “Kelly Rowland Underrated Artist Of The Year Award” (great category btw!)
i dont really like alot of the nominations…
and why is beyonce in the overrated category when she barley got any nominations.

Please add R. Kelly to the please go sit down somewhere nominations, he really do need to go take 5 or somethin
And Add Cheri Dennis to the under rated artist nominaiton
U NEED TO TAKE BEYONCE OUT OF THAT OVERRATED CATEGORY BECAUSE SHE IS NOT.
THAT’S SOME HATIN STUFF RIGHT THERE 4 REAL!
I think the Kelly Roland Underrated Artist should go to Trey Songz… bcuz he’s cd is GREAT!!!! It literally stays in my cd player @ home and in my car… He’s truly underrated and I hope everyone wakes up in 08 and sees he’s a great artist…
Props for Mario – Album of the Year & that Kelly Rowland Underrated Award.
I suggest Keyshia Cole – Just Like You for Album of the Year. That album is definitely one of the best this year!
Every time you get the chance you slight Beyonce.
You put her in the overrated category yet gave her hardly any mention in the awards categories she truly deserves.
Your being an ass because not only are you indicating your bias against Beyonce, you aren’t allowing her fans (which are a lot of your readers) the chance to have their actual opinion.
Perezhilton is fairer to his own race, why don’t you try that outlook.
wall wto wall was a goodf single, it wasn that bad to be worst single of the year
Jay Z’s American Gangster should be nominated ina lbum of the year!
Other than that the list is pretty much on point!

I like you nomination list for the end of year awards. I agree with dj a category for most anticipated release for next year, would be a welcomed addition.
I’m loving the title of ‘The Please Go Sit Down Somewhere Award’, and ‘The Kelly Rowland Underrated Artist Of The Year Award’. I like your wit those are the kinda quips I would come out with.
IMO the Kelly Rowland award should go to Mario, because if I weren’t a fan, and an avid watcher of MTV Base, I wouldn’t have known he had released new material. But in reality all Mario needs to do is release a single like Kyptonite and make sure there’s a banging, futuristic video to go with it. As Mario has one of the best voices in R&B/Soul.
yess underrated artist is TREY! he is so talented but never gets the attention he deserves
Rihanna’s awards are: The Please Go Sit Down Somewhere Award & Most Overrated Artist. (can’t stand her).
and if there was a nomination for Most overrated artist of the “That Grape Juice: End Of Year Awards” , it would be Kelly Rowland.
The Please Go Sit Down Somewhere Award
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Looooool :’D
I Choose Rihanna
Amy Whinehouse isn’t a new artist. She had an album before.
Add Jay Z American Ganster to best album of the year
Best TV show you should add The Game
Album of the Year:Kelly Rowland-Ms. Kelly
Best Colaboration:Kelly Rowland ft. Eve-Like This
why isnt marqueous houston-veteron for album of the yeasr, and he shud be in the male category
I agree that the Mario and mary J Blige albums are too recent for “Best Album”; The Mary J Blige album was only relelased today, and isn’t even out til Feb in your own country!
The “Please Go Sit Down Somewhere” and “Most Overrated” awards should be one award.
And stop trynna cater too much to American auidences when you’re British! You know full well Amy Winehouse’s first album was released 4 YEARS ago for Christ’s sake, so even though “Back To Black” was her first album out in the States, how the hell can she be nominated for “Best New Artist”?
And I think Keyshia Cole and Fantasia should be up for Best Album, and Robin Thicke for Best Single. Maybe more Jill Scott too, to recognise how she’s delievered the 3rd on-point album in a row.

thats stupid that beyonce is in the OVERRATED category
you must not have ears or eyes
whoever made this list
anyway
beyonce deserved to be in more categories
i love kelly rowland
but you are overrating her
Beyonce haters for sure
the more haters
the more famous
Beyonce’s B’Day should be included on Best Album of the year because it sold very well. I don’t think Mary J or Mario should be in the category because they are just being released in December. I think Irreplaceable should be added to Single of the Year because it was #1 coming into 2005 for 7 weeks and 3 weeks in 2006. Beautiful Liar by Beyonce & Shakira should be added to Best Collaboration and so should Good Life by Kanye West and T Pain. Lil Mama and Soulja Boy should be added to Best New Artist. Beyonce should be added to Best Female Artist and so should Fantasia. I know its called the kelly rowland underrated artist of the year award but kelly rowland should still be a nominee because her album was killing it yet she didn’t sell many of them. Most Overrated Artist should not include Beyonce because she isn’t overrated but Rihanna & Fergie are because they aren’t as good as they think especially Fergie. Why is Crank That in Worst Single because wasn’t it a number one hit. Kelly Rowland collapsing on stage should be added to the most shocking event of the year. Girlfriends deserves to win Best TV Show they’ve been on nearly eight years now and still have lots of viewers.
7:28
Beyonces BDAY wasnt on the list because it was striaght hot garbage
shes lucky her album was a hit but either than that
that album is one of the worst albums of the year
and kelly rowland collapsing wasnt most shocking it was beyonce or britney
so quit hating on kelly cause you could tell straight out that your hating on her and i aint even no kelly rowland fan but its not fair your trying to bring that girl down
anyways
FLOP OF THE YEAR
-Jennifer Lopez LOL 😀
I pick for the best callbo:
Chris Brown feat T-pain Kiss Kiss

I agree with most of the nominee because i understand that is your take on things. i really liked the kelly CD so i am you took notice too. but how do we vote do we have to type the answer for each category. there has to be an easier to do this
Why on earth isn’t Keyshia Cole’s Just Like You nominated for Album of the Year. It is easily the best R&B album of the year IMO. You should also recognize Jay-Z’s American Gangster because that album is incredible. Why is Beyonce nominated for most oveerated artist? Whether you love her or hate her, Beyonce is talented as hell.
kelly on most of this category lol. u know she does not deserve to get any nominations but hey grapejuice.net loves her and jealous beyonce. but who cares about grapejuice.net awards noboday apart from probably 36 people that posted. beyonce has billboard awards, grammy, vma while kelly is still struggling under little jealous blogs awards. she couldnt even last on thr clash of choirs show, sell records a failure, shoot videos a hot mess and daek skin people should never think they can be s***, it just dont look right on dark skin. anywas if she wins nobody would care it is just a silly awarda anyways.
First off whoever left that comment saying i’m hating on kelly rowland because i said that when she collapsed she should have been in the Most Shocking Event of the year. It was shocking and i’m not hating because i’m one of kelly rowland’s biggest fans so either you on crack or jus stuck on stupid. And if Beyonce’s album was garbage how come it sold more than almost every other album released this year and it was released in September of 2006 and its getting two more grammy nominations at the 2008 awards does that sound like it sucks so don’t say it was garbage cuz this aint no rihanna or fergie album iight. Hit me up at Myspace.com/beyoncelovesu
O K S A M A R E Y O U S E R I O U S T H A T W E H A V E TO W R I T E A L L O F O U R F A V O R I T E S I N S T E A D O F J U S T C L I C K I N G O N T H E M ??????????? i dont have that much spare time on my hands man

OMG are yall beyonce stans for reals you actually want to see beyonshit on more nominations when her album is wack and no one cares about her over expossed ass
only reason her ass is famous is because her wack ass daddy the p**** and d*** sucker promoted her waaaaaaaayy to much and i have to agree with some kelly fans she can do better but whatever not my problem
yall beyonce stans need to calm the f*** down this aint even no fuckn grammy and yall are hating on other artist
the only vote beyonce gets from me is more shocking when her clumsy ass took that fall ROFLMFAO 😀
hmm wat da hell do u mean by (and I quote), “dark skin people should never think they can be s***, it just dont look right on dark skin”

End Of Year Awards: The Nominees
Album of the Year
Amy Winehouse – Back to Black
(while I love Alicia Keys, and her album, Amy MOST def had THEE best album of the year. There was no other album that I played more than “Black To Black”)
Single of the Year
(This one is hard, but, I’d have to say that it’s between)
Keyshia Cole – Let It Go
J. Holiday – Bed
Best Video:
(These are my favorite two, because of their creativity and ability to keep me capitivated)
Ciara – Like A Boy
Kanye West – Good Life
Best Collaboration
R. Kelly & Usher – ‘Same Girl’
(I don’t care for Usher, but I love Kells)
Best New Artist:
Amy Winehouse
Best Female Artist:
Alicia Keys
(Compared to the other females mentioned, none of them were able to top Miss Keys. So, for that alone, she deserves the title)
Best Male Artist
Kanye West
(while I haven’t been a huge fan of Kanye’s since “College Dropout,” he is the only artist—male or female—to have the industry on lock. The numbers that he pulled with “Graduation” was just insane. So, that deserves recognition. And while Chris Brown put out a few cute joints this year, Kanye is a grown man—well, at least, in his songs, he is. lol!!!)
The Kelly Rowland Underrated Artist Of The Year Award
Trey Songz
(I, seriously, can not stand this dude, but, I can’t front. Lil’ Dude knows how to put out some good songs.)
The Please Go Sit Down Somewhere Award
50 Cent
(He’s THEE most ignorant, whiny, wack ass Negro in show business. So, yes, puhleeeeease give this MOFO this award. **SMH**)
Most Overrated Artist:
Fergie
(I just don’t get it.)
Worst Single Of The Year:
Nicole Scherzinger – Baby Love
(Who is she again?)
Flop of the Year:
Kelly Rowland
(She’d have to be awarded, because this is a recurring thing. I mean, at least, Will and Jenny have experienced direct success. I‘m sorry, but Kelly is just a by-stander.)
Most Shocking Event of 2007:
Beyonce Falling Down Stairs
(“Shocking” is too strong of a word to describe this event. Bee falling down the stairs was just down right painful to look at. I mean, that fall was the most cartoonish looking s*** I have ever seen.)
Best Reality TV Show:
Runs House
(It’s like the modern-day “Cosby Show.” J No coonery in that house. So, how can we not be glad to see it on TV.)
Best TV Show:
Girlfriends
Everybody Hates Chris
The Game
(I really love these shows, so I can‘t choose. Unfortunately, however, I’ve never seen “The Boondocks,” so I can’t comment on it. But the other three shows are always good.)
What do you think of the nominee list?
This list really sums up some of the top moments in Black culture over this past year, so job well done.
SMH there’s the same sick Kelly man looking ass stan who is mad b/c Beyonce shits on her and every other female artist. Beyonce is the Queen and Kelly is her b****. That’s the way it is and the way it always will be. Personally I think Kelly is a d*** who’s in love with Bey b/c she talks about her too much and no straight woman does that. And Bey falling only made her more famous and got her more admirers after that. That’s why BET showed her concert TWICE and got the highest ratings. That’s why Kelly’s concert got cancelled b/c wouldn’t nobody even pay 25 cent to see her unless Beyonce is with her.
Kelly stan f*** off!! Kelly will never have half of what Beyonce has. You keep on dreaming
