guys, please, stop with the annoying lingo ‘as the thousands of votes’ etc etc – this may well be very true and that’s really great – but a little bit of grace goes a long way.
I’m a H-U-G-E fan of ThatGrapeJuice and have been for a long while but recently I have been noticing some really annoying habits arising.
Just offering my own little constructive criticism and i hope you take it in the good will it was intended and do not delete.
Merry Xmas both to Sam and Trent and thank you for everything you do!

the album of the decade – CHRISTINA AGUILERA “STRIPPED”
Um????Where’s christina aguilera at? She sold more and did better than some of these people you listed!
okay, what’s with the coldplay selections? LIke, seriously, if you were going to include ‘pop’ as a genre, there’s better choices than coldplay, especially if we’re talking about the decade. My guess is that coldplay is the only alternative-ish( (ok, they’re hardly alternative anymore) pop music you listen to, so your sample space is a little limited. How about we keep it strictly to R&B and hiphop, eh mate?

I AGREE WITH BOTH. ANY LIST WITH MICHEAL OR JANET IS AN AUTOMATIC ICONIC LIST. THATS FOR DAMN SURE.
JANET JACKSON ALL FOR YOU ALBUM WAS ONE OF THE AMAZING POP/SOUL ALBUMS THIS DECADE.
U both have good taste in music…I agree more or less with both lists. This has definitely been a memorable decade in music.
I cant say I agree with a lot of these, why is missy nominated for anything??
& that Best Album category is a Hot Ass Mess!! Where is Beyonce’s DIL Album where almost every song was great? or B’day where everything blinded so splendidly? or with I Am which is filled with single worthy songs.
& Ive previewed most the albums nominated- A Mess, Where are the Kanye albums or Rihyawna GGGBR?
Ill let you have the other categories as long as Bey is listed. lol
OMG Are we forgetting Janet Jackson’s All For You album!!!???? The video was hot and so was the song!!! The only number one song to hit all 333 radio stations… and the only female to do it!
Gotta agree with S*** above…Felt kind of uncomfortable saying that tho. LOL
You guys should have totally added anything from Britney’s “Blackout” album…that was years ahead of the drivel that’s being put out now. COME ON!
Where the hell is Brandy??-Afrodisiac, Full Moon and Human went hard as hell!!
@allan YESSS BABY you betta PREACH!!”blackout”owns everything!!!
i can’t believe britney is not even mentioned i mean seriously who is fantasia?
i just can’t…
BEYONCE QUEEN! Thats wassup!
I like Sam’s choice for every category EXCEPT albums. I like Trent’s album category better.
where’s “like a boy” and “all for you” for videos? and Brit’s “s**** 4 u” video?!? come on! Janet, CiCi and Brit(pre-meltdown) have the BEST videos.
where the f is Rihanna? Before Rated R she had a lo of hits like Umbrella, Don’t Stop The Music, Pon De Replay, SOS, Unfaithful.. uhh?

You are an embarrasment to bey stans. you just made one of the most pointless robot minded brainwashed comments. go and throw yourself into a highway at rush hour or something.

Am sorry to say but how did Fantasia or worse still Lady GaGa get on a list with the word “decade” in it? I mean Lady GaGa came to the scene like a few months ago and she is being rated amongst artists like Beyounce and Mariah? how many albums has both put out in the last decade?
If its pop/R&B we are talking about then Ne-Yo and Akon has to be in there some where. Love or hate them but they brought something to music in this decade. and these are just two artist off of the top of my head.
If its Hip Hop then where is Snopp and Farell Williams, Nas and the list goes on and on…
If it albums the where is Anthony Hamiltons “The point of it all”? or Maxwell’s black summer’s night”, Or T.I’s “Paper trail”, or Jennifer Hudson’s “Jennifer Hudson” or Lupe’s “The Cool”?
And like i said these are just artist and albums off the top of my head. Am sure i can bring up a better list if i did my research.
I wonder what criteria you guys used to come to your list.. Is it music sales, or is it artists popularity? Is it based on how involved artists are to their music in terms of producing and writing their songs..?
Also you guys made an attempt to cross genres in your selection but i have to say its a poor attempt. All the selection seem to come from Pop and one or two hip hop. Not broad enough.
Oh am sure you can slot Timbaland somewhere in there..
Oh and Sam i think you list is really compromised as 80percent of you selections are female artists.. Hmmm..

Beyonce and Destiny’s Child are the Best
Beverley Knight. She’s STILL one of the most underrated talents the UK has produced, has remained consistent and yet…. she’s still slept on.
The lack of UK artists kinda hint that/
Ah too many to list but you all must admit Ciara Promise video and song is classic and epic.
Wow! alot of you guys forget that a decade is 10 years and not just the last 5 years of music. I get that alot of it is personal opinion but you really can’t disregard the early 2000s. Britney Spears was on top of the game and gave us iconic videos like Toxic and S**** 4 u for instance. Epic songs like Since U Been Gone and Hips Don’t Lie have also been omitted. Maybe it’s because the past years of the decade are fresher in our memories but we shouldn’t forget the early years of the decade. My picks are as follows (based on critical acclaim and sales/popularity) :
ARTISTS:
Britney Spears
Beyonce
Kanye West
Mariah Carey
Rihanna
Jay-Z
Eminem (eventhough i hate him, he’s been a super succesful artist this decade)
Honorable Mention: GaGa – She’s had a great year this year but she needs to be around a little longer to be an artist of the decade
Singles;
Rihanna – Umbrella
Mariah Carey – We Belong Together
Kelly Clarkson – Since U Been Gone
Shakira – Hips Don’t Lie
Beyonce – Crazy In Love
Beyonce – Irreplaceable
Britney Spears – Toxic
Videos:
Britney Spears – S**** 4 U
Britney Spears – Toxic
Rihanna – Umbrella
Jay Z – 99 Problems
Beyonce – Single Ladies
Fatboy Slim – Weapon of Choice
White Stripes – Fell in Love with a girl
Honorable Mention: GaGa – Bad Romance. Again, she needs to be around a little longer to see how her music/videos hold up.
Albums:
Jay-Z – The Blueprint
Kanye West – College Dropout
Mariah Carey – Emancipation of Mimi
Confessions – Usher
Alicia Keyes – As I Am
Britney Spears – Blackout
Rihanna – GGGB
Oh, and WTF! How is Disturbia on any of the lists over her greatest hit “umbrella”. The video and song for umbrella were much more iconic than Disturbia. Also another blatant omission is Beyonce’s Irreplaceable.
where is brandy?
“Blackout” truly sums up all of the dance/dark techno crazy that Pop music contrived of into a fantastic album by Pop’s greatest artist.

…and Miss E… Soooooo Addictive! Afrodisiac (the album and single) – Brandy.
Please don’t do Fantasia.
‘When I See U’ was one of the BIGGEST R&B hits this deade. It even made Billboard history. I find it funny how y’all wanna diss Fantasia, yet mention J-Husky. Fantasia can outsing her, she’s out sold her and her albums are better.

Don’t even pretend with the Coldplay stuff. It’s the selection of people who think they’re being alternative but really don’t know anything about music outside of R&B and Hip-Hop. There are too many damn R&B fans who don’t try to listen to other genres. Coldplay is a LAZY choice.
Um this is unfair because Ciara impacted this decade more than just “Promise”
She has the best videos ever! so excusing the very bias selections i choose “Promise” by Ciara for best single of the decade 🙂

Fan or not, you have to admit that Beyonce ruled this decade. Any legit list should include her as one of the top artists of the decade. The singles list should include at least one of her songs like, “Crazy In Love”, “Irreplaceable”, “Single Ladies”, or “Halo” (all of which were nominated during its year of eligibility for a Grammy in the Record or Song of the Year categories; maybe she’ll finally win in one of those two categories at the upcoming Grammys). Other top artists of the decade include Eminem, Mariah Carey, JayZ, Alicia Keys, Mary J. Blige, and I would have to include Britney Spears.
MY TOP 5 SONGS OF 2009
1, SINGLE LADIES- Beyoncé
2, KNOCK ME DOWN- Keri Hilson
3, RUN THIS TOWN- Jay-Z
4, HARD- Rihanna
5, TRUST- Keyshia Cole
