  6. sheltop October 11, 2011

    No shade this ballad is quite boring!

  7. x October 11, 2011

    award shows give the same people awards every year not watching…….

  8. absolved October 11, 2011

    How the hell is Rihanna’s white-washed ass nominated in the “Soul/R&B” categories? That sell out pop b**** is a black Britney.

  9. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    Beyonce r&B, Kelly R&B, but the other one is not R &B but anyway….

    soul R & B album, there is only 1 album that has lots of heartfelt soul songs.

    @ JON is there any voting category cause I have no time for that!! and doesn’t really care.

    Rihanna is under pop rock album but not under BEST pop rock female?? wowzers

    Why isn’t katy perry under pop rock album, her album was good?

    That’s easy predictions…………AMA

  10. DTG October 11, 2011

    Um…missing a few categories there aren’t you TGJ?

  11. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 11, 2011

    funny how keri hilson never gets nominated for s*** i bet riri and bey stans enjoy this s***! no boys allowed came out dec 2010 adele came out jan or feb . pretty girl rock went platinum but no nominations for her so sad… nba is a hot cd and her tour just sold out . i think keri hilson is underrated!!!! MOSTLY BEYONCE STANS HATE ON THE GIRL BUT HER CD IS ONE OF THE BEST CDS OF 2010-2011.

  12. MissImpartial October 11, 2011

    I think Kelly should win best R’n’B female as unlike the others her music is currently the most rnb. I don’t know how Rihanna got nominated for best rnb as she was more pop/dance with loud.

  13. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    @ tommy why would the haters be mad at kelly? wouldn’t that be good for her to at least win something? isn’t it the AMA’s board making the decision?

  14. NAVY October 11, 2011

    WTF! Rihanna will win all of her nominations!

  15. MissImpartial October 11, 2011

    Usher did not do any rnb music his music was electro/dance they put him in there just because he is black.

  16. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 11, 2011

    LOL KELLY ROWLAND HAD A NUMBER ONE SONG WITH A FLOP ALBUM , BEYONCE NUMBER ONE ALBUM NO SINGLES THAT WENT TO NUMBER ONE . KERI HILSON PLATINUM SINGLE BUT NO WORDS ON HER SALES TO DATE.

  17. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 11, 2011

    GO AHEAD START HATING ON KERI HILSON BUT SHE DESERVES TO BE THERE BEFORE KELLY AND BEYONCE!

  18. Malibu Barbie October 11, 2011

    they should rename it the ” The Most DickRidden Artist Awards 2011 , we ignore the real artists with talent and originality and dickride who ever’s hot right now ” WILL NOT BE TUNING IN. yawn. ZZZ zzz ZZ zzz ZZ. music is faliing horribly i dont think it will ever be as good as it used to be. so sad.

  19. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 11, 2011

    HOW IS RIHANNA SOUL????????

  20. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 11, 2011

    @MALIBU SO RIGHT I DONT SEE NOBODY UP THERE , THIS IS A POPULARITY CONTEST !

  21. hood_star_06 October 11, 2011

    yea buddy my baby got that nomination for best rnb/soul female – ms kelly better start raking in those nominations – this is only the beginning

  22. DTG October 11, 2011

    Shut up with that Keri Hilson crap. You sound dumb as hell with it. I guess everybody has to come here with a “shtick” to get attention, and for some odd reason Keri is yours.

    Hush.

  23. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 11, 2011

    THIS IS F***** UP REALLY THAT KERI HILSON NEVER GETS NOMINATED FOR S*** HER CD IS PURE R&B SOUL , HER SONGS ARE WAYYYYYYYY BETTER THAN THE PEOPLE UP THERE.

  24. sasha jay October 11, 2011

    team breezy leggo this is chris brown’s year he must dfinately win in these categories
    lets say AMEN!

  25. MissImpartial October 11, 2011

    How is Katy Perry nominated for artist of the year if she is not even nominated for the Best Pop/Rock Female/ and Pop Rock Album. And since when do Rihanna and Adele do Rock or since when is Adele pop I thought she is more soul. These nominations are a joke. I mean imagine Usher receiving the rnb award after doing so many dance songs. I am not taking half of these categories serious.

  26. Malibu Barbie October 11, 2011

    @KERIHILSONISBAD
    i agree with you… no boys allowed as a DOPE album ! pretty girl rock/breaking point /lose control are worthy of nominations in my opinion ESPECIALLY her pretty girl rock video. tis industry is full of politics, they are not fair they dont evaluate ALL THE ARTISTS like they used to. they just pick the same handful Young Money , Beyonce , Drake , Rihanna , Lady Gaga , Trey Songz , Odd Future , Jay & Kanye , Bruno Mars , Katy Perry .. the same old artists who are on every award show winning all the time… its BORING its not even interesting anymore like it used to be… look at the hip hop category it looks pathetic.

  27. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 11, 2011

    F*** U B****** LIKE I SAID NOBODY EVER PAYS KERI HILSON ANY ATTENTION !!!!!!!!! HER CD IS R&B , U SOUND STUPID AS F*** DTG ,, THIS IS MY OPINION IF U DONT LIKE IT READ ANOTHER BLOG!!!!! THIS IS SOME B******* ! LIKE I SAID THEY OVERLOOK KERI HILSON AT EVERY AWARD SHOW . SHE HAS WON BET AWARDS MOBO AWARDS AND NAACP AWARDS AND SOUL TRAIN BUT NOT GRAMMYS MTV OR AMAS SO SILLY HOW THIS MUSIC S*** IS…….. MY OPINION DONT RESPOND TO ME ASSHOES I’M VERY PISSED.

  28. JohnVidal October 11, 2011

    Well this is a joke! Remember last year Justin Beiber won BEST ARTIST! there you have it
    For the shake of music I hope Adele wins all. Beyonce has it so easy to win best R&B female with no serious competition, the usual. I´m surprised Kelly is nominated, but then again R&B was almost nonexisting last year
    Go Adele, and if not her, Lady Gaga

  29. Tehara October 11, 2011

    Soul/R&B Female:

    Rihanna

    Beyonce

    Kelly Rowland

    “this is some bull*Traci Braxton voice*:”

  30. Malika October 11, 2011

    Rihanna is mostlikely gonna win…P.S i love keri but beyonce’s run the world & best thing i never had both went platnum and hit # 1 on the Dance Charts…but Kelly Rowland needs that award she does the most R&B of the three…KELLY OR BEYONCE FOR THE WIN!!! KERI HILSON ALBUM DIDN’T EVEN ATTEMPT TO GO SILVER 102,000 COPIES!!!

  31. Mari (RIP Dwayne McDuffie + Amy Winehouse +Steve Jobs) October 11, 2011

    That’s pretty great that Kelly Rowland got nominated!

    Who the f*ck wants to see PitBull’s red trousers and Naked Perry’s dizzy a** walk across the stage in yet another Lady Gaga inspired outfit?

    ***paging Christopher “Cirque Du Soleil” Brown to the stage…LOL! 🙂

  35. JohnVidal October 11, 2011

    Also, this is why the grammies keeps on being the only respectable music awards even if they have failed big way at times, specially 2 years ago with taylor winning album of the year and Single Ladies song of the year. That was a big fail, but for the rest I´m ususally ok enough with them

  36. KINGB BISH October 11, 2011

    RIHO&KELLY BEST FEMALE SOUL ALBUM ARE U FU*CKIN KIDDING ME LMMFAOOOOOO RIHO DOES NOT HAVE A HIT OF SOUL IN HER VOICE MORR LIK A GOAT SOUL LMAOOOOO AND 4 KELLY SHE CAN SING AND THATS BEY SIS AND I LIK HER BUT MY MOTHAPUCKN BEY CAN BLOW #WHOMAD

  37. StarrM October 11, 2011

    I’m sorry but Rihanna ain’t black enough for those R&B/Soul noms.

  38. truciebedford October 11, 2011

    How is Adele’s album pop rock? wtf? These nominations are s***!

  39. why you mad? October 11, 2011

    Congrats to Kelly for finally being recognized. This shall be interesting with her and Bey in the same category.

  40. Malibu Barbie October 11, 2011

    I dnt know what caused it. or where it went wrong but music is drawing nice comparisons to the titanic. it is SINKING. its failiing.. its turning into this high school clique of ” who’s hot who’s not”
    EVERYBODY is a copycat nowadays no1 is bringing anything NEW to this generation.
    EVERYONE is dressing the same.
    EVERYONE is on twitter dissing each other.
    EVERYONE is leaking their n*** pics.
    EVERYONE is on goddamn reality show.
    EVERYONE is getting fame for nothing.
    EVERYONE is complaining about their haters..
    my generation is a fat FAIL. i wish i grew up in the 90’s

  41. ERIC October 11, 2011

    Absolutely not getting Adele in the Pop/Rock FIELD and Rihanna in the SOUL/R&B FIELD. What the heck is that?

  42. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    Why do people have to vote for awards now? What’s about artist who have working and grown fans who have no time for this s***? This is just crazy!

  43. Peter October 11, 2011

    haha what a joke of an award show… XD

  44. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 11, 2011

    @MALIBU I KNOW THAT PEOPLE HATE KERI HILSON BUT WHY???? SHE HAS HER OWN STYLE , SHES ORIGINAL SHE NEVER COPIED ANYBODY AND SHE WRITES HER OWN MUSIC . MY OPINION ,, KERI HILSON IS LIKE KANDI OF XSCAPE OR BABYFACE SHE HAS WRITTEN SONGS FOR ALOT OF PEOPLE …. HER SONG HUSTLER IS THE S*** ALONG WITH ALL THE BOYS , GIMMIE WHAT I WANT , AND I FEEL LIKE SHE IS NOT GETTING WHAT SHE DESERVES. ALL HER HATERS ARE BEYONCE STANS . EVERYTIME HER NAME IS SAID THEY HATE ON HER CALLING HER NAMES ,CALLING HER COCKY OR FAKE . I HAVE BEEN TO HER CONCERTS . SHE CAN SING AND DANCE LIVE , SHE HAS HER OWN SWAG , I HATE WHEN PEOPLE COMPARE HER TO CIARA OR BEYONCE . HER SONGS ARE DEEPER, AND THEY WILL CONTINUE TO HATE . MY OPINION STAYS THE SAME . WHERE IS KERI HILSONS NOMINATIONS?????

  45. irving October 11, 2011

    hope win the best!, but one thing i dont agree its why rihanna is at R&B? anyway i love beyonce and i love kelly i hope Kelly win this one she deserve it 🙂

  46. why you mad? October 11, 2011

    Lol @ Tehara

  47. ….baa, “i just can’t keep his name out of my big fat lying mouth” October 11, 2011

    @TRICKORTREAT?

    That’s pretty much the way I think it will go with a few exceptions. I think ADELE is going to win one if not all of the following: Best Pop/Rock Female, Best Pop/Rock Album, or Aritist of the Year!

  48. hood_star_06 October 11, 2011

    @KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV

    how dare u come for the girls of DC

    um your precious keri hilson had 4 songs out with 5 videos – she had her chance to do whatver it is she was supposed to do so dont hate because she is not nominated

  49. Malibu Barbie October 11, 2011

    @KERIHILSONISBAD i respect keri ALOT. she used to songwrite heavy.. she still does.. and i RESPECT that highly, that is a true musician .. not these copy cat, disrespectful gimmicks, such as nicki minaj who bear no talent.. Keri Hilson is dope to me … and she deserves alot of nominations, she sold well first week, pretty girl rock was HUGE ! , breaking point a very meaningful song empowering women im all for it ! not to mention she promoted herself HEAVY ! these awards shows are a JOKE now ! i dont take them seriously. these awards are like ” im better than you” awards or ” im hotter than you” awards they are not about the music anymore. none of them are. and its sad.

  50. Malibu Barbie October 11, 2011

    the only ppl worthy of winning on that list are Gaga ,Beyonce and Adele. that is it.
    born this way, 4 and 21 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this entire year .

  51. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    WHERE IS BRITNEY????
    WHERE IS BRITNEY???

    i KNOW I SHADE HER ALREADY FOR THE SAKE OF HER DUMB IGNORANT FANS BUT C’MON. I AM PISSED AT AMA’S?

    WHERE THE F*** IS BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

  52. Alexander October 11, 2011

    R&B music is dead when you have Trey Songz, Chris Brown! What happened to R Kelly?
    F*** you music critics for dissing the legend….

  53. ?????? October 11, 2011

    Yay Come on kelly!!!!!! Go go go go whow lova!!!!

  54. EdwardPonton October 11, 2011

    It will be interesting to see who wins best female soul category because Kelly music is more “urban” out of the bunch, Beyonce is Beyonce and Rihanna for whatever reason always produce #1s. I will honestly choose Kelly to win that award, although Bey is my ultimate favorite. As for Rihanna cute ass… not a lick of soul in her voice.

  55. Blogstodiefor.com October 11, 2011

    Wow! Impressive to see Nicki Minaj as a nominee for Best Hip Hop Album. When does the AMA air??

  59. KAT DELUNA FAN October 11, 2011

    congrats bruno mars and beyonce

    go kelly and CB

  60. MissImpartial October 11, 2011

    Seriously stop writing down the whole damn list. We don’t care.

  61. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 11, 2011

    @HOOD BROKE FIRST OF ALL MY OPINION STAYS THE SAME AND B**** DO U KNOW ME? PLEASE DONT TALK S*** TO ME . IF YOU WANNA START S*** I ENJOY NO BOYS ALLOWED BETTER THAN KELLY ROWLANDS ONE HIT ALBUM. BEYONCE IS NOT MY TASTE . SHE LOST ME AS A FAN AFTER HER FIRST SOLO ALBUM . I CAN RELATE TO THE SONGS ON KERI’S ALBUM ! DONT TALK S*** TO ME MY OPINION STAYS THE SAME …….

  62. Imgunnacheckuboo October 11, 2011

    Same ol same ol.

  63. SBC19 October 11, 2011

    I find it incredibly tacky that Rihanna got that nominations on nothing but the basis of her color. Her singles don’t chart on the R&B charts and black radio stations do NOT play her music for the most part. The only song they played was that s*** she did with Drake…and it was only because of Drake that it got played. She ain’t down. The b**** ain’t a sista. Let’s stop pretending she is…with her flaky white/pop ass.

  64. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN October 11, 2011

    Artist of The Year: Taylor swift.. even though Adele is going to win.

  65. ….baa, “i just can’t keep his name out of my big fat lying mouth” October 11, 2011

    @Kimberly

    Yeah, I noticed that Brit-Brit was left off this list. It’s the American Music Awards after all. Perhaps they should limit the nominations to AMERICAN ARTISTS! #i’mjustsaying

  66. I’ma have to send her to her maker October 11, 2011

    I’m sorry the “others” are mad the paypal awards don’t exist. *sips tea*

  67. NECY October 11, 2011

    4 was a flop album but somehow beyonce got nominated .

  68. TRICKORTREAT? October 11, 2011

    @…. BAA,

    Ok, Im thinking Artist of the Year.

  69. NECY October 11, 2011

    rihanna is pop beyonce is copycat bubble gum and kelly is trash.

  70. TANASHA October 11, 2011

    im so sorry but beyonce will not win s*** adele owns this .

  71. TANASHA October 11, 2011

    damn rihanna soul ? u must be kidding me she cant sing she is a tramp thats it.

  72. ASAP (As Sincere As Possible) October 11, 2011

    The nominations for award shows are ALWAYS a mess!!I just LOVE it when those old fashioned awards are trying to look up to date and hip and they create a hip hop category only to nominate the same 3 people every year that have all lost the respect of the hip hop audience 🙄 It’s kind of amusing if you think about it, though 😆

    I’m only checking for the performances and I’m HOPING that it won’t be as much of a hot burning mess as the VMA’s…

  73. rorymaynor October 11, 2011

    @JON
    Honestly Rihanna has a bigger fan base, so i think she will beat Beyonce for both categories

  74. hood_star_06 October 11, 2011

    @keri hilson please with all of the extra if you dont mind especially with all of the cursing. Is that really necessary? As far as calling her album a one hit album is proabably because she released ONE SONG so far compared to ya faves 4 songs and 5 videos and yet she still isnt nominated so instead of coming at me you should complain to the committee that sets up these nominations.

  75. rorymaynor October 11, 2011

    RIHANNA IS NOMINATED IN THE R&B Category because she has songs on that album that are r&b (raining men, what’s my name, man down), pop, etc.

  76. WINTZ October 11, 2011

    Whats new? They took Rihanna out the best female pop artiste category so Gaga can win… #YAWNS Next!

  77. truth October 11, 2011

    KELLY ROWLANDS CD IS NOT R&B BUT SHES BLACK . THATS THE ONLY REASON SHE IS NOMINATED PLUS HER SONG WAS NUMBER 1 .BEYONCE FLOPPED THIS ERA WITH COPYCAT VIDEOS. RIHANNA IS BETTER THAN BEYONCE AND KELLY.

  78. truth October 11, 2011

    HAVENT WATCHED THE AMAS SINCE AALIYAH WAS ALIVE.

  79. BeBeJuJu October 11, 2011

    WHY DO I WANT KELLY ROWLAND TO SNATCH THE R’N’B AWARD? I’M STILL AND FOREVER WILL BE TEAM BEY,but i just feel KELLY deserves this one :/ BUT I WANT BEY TO WIN R’N’B ALBUM,”4″ IS AMAZING!!!

  80. truth October 11, 2011

    4 IS GARBAGE WITH ALL HER COPYCAT VIDEOS THIS ERA.

  81. truth October 11, 2011

    if you think 4 is a hot cd you must have no friends at all.

  82. Teacher October 11, 2011

    Rihanna shouldnt be n the rnb/soul category….Adele should have been n the rnb/soul category….Congrats 2 Kelly!!! Adele Artist of The Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  83. D-MONEY October 11, 2011

    If Kelly beats Beyoncé … This will be history in the making….lml….
    I gotta see this

  84. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    You guys must be nuts. These awards are based on votes and it has nothing to do with fan base especially when you have school children voting a million times for some awards
    Do you believe that usher will win a category with justin bieber as best male? when majority of usher fans are working and may not even know about that voting thing? when beiber fans are on twitter constantly? doesn’t that make sense? check the history

    Do you think that all of Adele fans know about voting or Bruno Mars against Beiber. Get a brain fixed.

  85. THE UNIVERSITY OF GAGA October 11, 2011

    I generally like the AMAs the LEAST out of all awards shows…

    Rihanna is a Pop artist btw,and why do you only have THREE nominees per each award??? Normally,I see at LEAST four or five….

  86. I KNOW October 11, 2011

    beyonce is a fraud

  87. chianne October 11, 2011

    OKAY – we are generally in agreement that putting Rihanna in RnB is overstepping. Can we change the conversation?? Getting redundant.

    My beef – why isn’t Chris Brown up for artist of the year? He had a HUGE year. And he does it all – RnB, pop, rap/hiphop.

    List is a bit stacked with white pop women – not right.

  88. I KNOW October 11, 2011

    RIHANNA IS POPPPPPPPPPPPPP BEYONCE BUBBLE GUM LYRICS KELLY ONE HIT NICKI LIL KIM CLONE CLOWN ADELE IS KINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG KATY IS TRASH ,, USHER SINGS BETTER THAN CHRIS BROWN BUT CHRIS HAD A HOTTTTTT YEAR .

  89. Flaygo October 11, 2011

    i can’t wait…chris beef will win a couple!

  90. I KNOW October 11, 2011

    RIHANNA AND BEYONCE KNOW HOW TO STEAL OTHER PEOPLES S*** AND MANAGE T WIN AWARDS AFTER THEY HAVE STOLEN. THE MEDIA IS FULL OF S***!!!!!

  91. I KNOW October 11, 2011

    LOL LACEFRONT CANCER?????

  92. rorymaynor October 11, 2011

    @CHIANNE
    The way the ARTIST OF THE YEAR category works is that they take 1 artist from each genre. Chris only had one song that was even in the top 10 on the HOT 100 chart. He’ll probably win Best r&b male though

  93. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    Best Pop/Rock Female:

    Adele

    Katy Perry

    Lady GaGa

    My Pick: Adele
    My Prediction: Katy Perry

    Pop Rock Album:

    Adele- 21

  94. gaga fan October 11, 2011

    beyonce is not a true artist she doesnt play the piano or anything…..

  95. zania October 11, 2011

    Actually this is a fan base award show. The fans vote and choose the winner. Last year Chris won and they gave it to Usher because CB did a no show. A couple of news people who were back stage reported it that CB name was the winner and they change his name. Hopefully they will do him justice this year.

  96. gaga fan October 11, 2011

    oh and the keri hilson comments are true… she has a nice cd

  97. ALEXIS October 11, 2011

    THE COPYCAT MISS BEY IS NOMINATED THIS MUST BE A JOKE!

  98. rorymaynor October 11, 2011

    Beyonce flopped this whole year! she had a #1 album but it hasn’t even sold 1 million copies in the U.S yet. It SHIPPED a milli, but not sold. And none of her songs did well so i doubt she beats Rihanna in anything.

  99. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    @ GAGAFAN did MJ play an instrument? Does usher, brandy, Monica, play instruments come with something better.

  100. ALEXIS October 11, 2011

    BEYONCE LOST MY RESPECT I WAS A STAN NOW IM NOT SHE IS STEALING TOO MUCH . I STAN FOR REAL R&B MUSIC , THATS ALL .

  101. keith michael October 11, 2011

    Am I missing something? Why is Mariah tagged? Is she nominated? Memoirs is an amazing album! Beyonce is over rated … Gaga if full of gimmicks and rihanna. Don’t get me started

  102. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    To explain my picks and predictions: I am a big Beyonce fan (not stan) and I feel that 4 was one of her best works ever. However I do feel that the way it has been promoted up until the release of Countdown was a hot f****** mess. Adele is a great talent and she deserves an AMA to make up for the fact that she was shut out at the VMA’s. How ironic. They honor S****** Spears and forget real talent.

    But let’s be real here. Kelly Rowland has only had one big hit this year and doesn’t have a large fanbase yet. Beyonce only had one big hit this year (so far [Best Thing I Never Had which peaked one spot higher than Motivation on the Hot 100]) but she has a damn crazy fanbase who will back her. She will probably win at least once. Adele, Rihanna, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have been snatching wigs this year with all their #1 hits, so they’ll each get at least one award.

  103. ALEXIS October 11, 2011

    OH YEAH BEYONCE ‘S LABEL SHIPPED 1 MILLION COPIES AND AS OF TODAY BEYONCE HAS SOLD ONLY 818,000 TO DATE SAYS WIKIPEDIA.

  104. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    Beyonce fans please go vote, these haters are trying to scape an engraved status of Beyonce certified by the grammys, american music awards, Bet awards, world music awards, and billboard. It is pointless calling her names. That is the price of being the Queen.

    you cannot take away what has given to her. One of Ama’s biggest award given after MJ in 2007
    International artist of excellence – last artist to receive it amongst 4 others was Beyonce. Who mad. When will your favorite. none of the useless piece of s*** mentioned including your favorite did not and may not.

  105. tyler October 11, 2011

    OMFG HOW DID KELLY ROWLAND GET NOMINATED OVER KERI HILSON WHEN KERI HILSON ALBUM SOLD MORE THAN KELLY ROWLANDS. AND PEOPLE DO NOT LIE BECAUSE

    MOTIVATIION CHARTED ALMOST NEAR PRETTY GIRL ROCK

    PRETTY GIRL ROCK #24 ON BILLBOARD 100

    AND MOTIVATION #19

    BUT…. STILL KERI ALBUM HAS SOLD MORE KELYY HAS NOT EVEN REACHED 200K COPIES YET….

  106. ALEXIS October 11, 2011

    BEYONCE CAN’T EVEN GET A NUMBER ONE AND BEYONCE NEVER BEAT OUT KELLY ON THE CHARTS WHAT ARE U TALKING ABOUT???????? LIESS , BEYONCE HAS NO HITS THIS ERA SHE BEEN STEALING THE WHOLE TIME RTW 1+1 BEST THING COUNTDOWN LOVE ON TOP . 5 COPYCAT VIDEOS .

    @chianne

    My beef – why isn’t Chris Brown up for artist of the year? He had a HUGE year. And he does it all – RnB, pop, rap/hiphop.
    ********************************

    Thank you! I was thinking the exact same thing ……LOL! And, I can’t believe that Lil Wayne is the only male nominated in that category.

  108. MadonnaLover October 11, 2011

    @Ima
    OH b**** boo. You want your fave to be considered a POP artist, that’s fine, LIL KIM WILL ALWAYS be an MC. She does not use the AMA’S hunty.

  109. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    @ALEXIS You know damn well its gonna be at 1 million before the end of this year.

    “Hasn’t sold 1 million in the U.S., YET”

    It has sold nearly 2 million worldwide already though.

  110. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    @ Alexis what does that change? Your favorite being better. Not at all, go vote that’s the only way your favorite can get awards. you seem to be very worried about beyonce’s masterpiece. Don’t worry honey.

  111. pauline October 11, 2011

    I FEEL U ON THAT KELLY ROWLANDS CD WAS A FLOP 77,000 COPIES SOLD IN A WEEK . KERI HILSON SHOULD BE UP THERE IN THE R&B CATERGORY BUT PEOPLE HATE ON THE WOMAN ALOT AND THEY WANT ONLY THE POPULAR B****** UP THERE. KELLY IS FROM DC THATS THE ONLY REASON SHE UP THERE,KERI HILSONS CD SHITS ON KELLY 4 SURE.

  112. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    @ALEXIS Check the Billboard Hot 100. BTINH peaked at 16. Motivation peaked at 17.

    The AMAs been getting it wrong for years! George Micheal won R&B/soul album for his album Faith back in 1988 lol And that album is nowhere near R&B/Soul. Pop/Rock yea!

  115. pauline October 11, 2011

    DIDNT ADELE SELL LIKE 10 MILLION IN THE US ALREADY?

  116. manolo demsy October 11, 2011

    Adele’s album has sold 4 million in the US. 10 million worldwide.

  118. pauline October 11, 2011

    OH I CANT STAND BEYONCE STANS THEY ALWAYS COVER UP HER B*******.ANYWAYS LIKE I SAID MISSKERIBABY IS ONE FINE S*** FEMALE HER CD UNDERRATED SHE IS BETTER THAN KELLY ROWLAND . I DONT CARE IF KELLY IS A DC MEMBER HER CD WACK . PEOPLE THOUGHT MOTIVATION WAS KERI HILSON ANY DAMN WAY SMH , ONE NIGHT STAND WAS BETTER , JUST SAYING BOO.

  120. pauline October 11, 2011

    IF KERI WAS IN THE CATERGORY WITH BEYONCE KERI WOULD WIN HANDS DOWN…

  121. pauline October 11, 2011

    KERI HILSON IS A BEAST ON STAGE F*** A BEYONCE STAN WHO WANT WAR???????????????????????????????

  122. pauline October 11, 2011

    @TYLER U ARE SO RIGHT THEY PLAYED KERI HILSON FOR THAT HORSE LOOKING B**** KELLY ROWLAND!

  123. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    @Pauline. Keri Hilson can’t dance. Keri Hilson doesn’t have the same vocal ability. Say what you want and like who you like. But none of you can ever say that Beyonce isn’t a damn great performer.

  124. …baa, “I just can’t keep his name out my big fat lying mouth” October 11, 2011

    The problem with today’s so called number songs is that the system is rigged. I find it hard to believe that actual talent can’t reach number 1 status on these so called “top American music charts” but BS always finds its way to the top. For example, E.T. was awful but charted at #1. Ppl need to stop pretending that these 360 degree contract having folks are not purposefully being given special consideration so all the money invested in them will be recouped with interest!!

  125. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    No. Here is how it works. Americans buy singles in stores and on iTunes. Record companies send singles to the radio and the radio plays what they think is popular and gain them listeners. The most bought, sold and played single is #1. That’s just it. People like crap these days. YES, absolutely. Is the system rigged? NO.

  126. pauline October 11, 2011

    OH F*** BEYONCE WITH A RUBBER TICK B**** KELLY ROWLANDS VOICE AND KERI ‘S ARE VERY DIFFERENT , IVE HEARD KELLY ROWLAND LIVE HER VICE IS AVERAGE AS HELL KERI CAN SING BETTER THAN KELLY !!!!!!!!!!! KELLY LIVE IS LIKE LISTENING TO BEYONCE WITH NO AD LIBS

  127. pauline October 11, 2011

    LIES KERI HILSON CAN DANCE AND SING AT THE SAME TIME I WAS JUST AT HER CONCERT 2 DAYS AGO HATERS . IT WAS SOLD OUT !!!!!!!!!!

  128. pauline October 11, 2011

    BILLBOARD IS RIGGED GRAMMYS ARE RIGGED ITUNES ARE RIGGED ……..

  129. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    @ pauline why haven’t you accepted the fact that keri Hilson did not make the cut?

    Y’all must be mad that mj children said that beyonce is carrying their father’s torch and is continuing his legacy. Oh lord haters, you need a class on beyonce from 1997 onwards, cause clearly 99% of you were mindless what this woman has done and how she kills it.
    submit your ages and i will reply to you.
    Before artist used to gain airplay by the public requesting the songs, now fans have request weeks. Before there was no twitter or face book for promotion now it is in full effect to buy singles and gift over 20 singles at a time. Do singles really matter now?

  130. pauline October 11, 2011

    U TELLING ME THAT KERI HILSON AINT FLY ENOUGH TO GET A NOMINATION FROM VMAS OR AMAS???? SHE GOT TWO GRAMMY NOMINATIONS WITH HER FIRST CD BUT NOW SHES BEING OVERLOKED BECAUSE REALLY BEYONCE SHOULD BE ON BREAK ,, IF SHE WAS THEY WOULD HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PUT KERI UP AGAINST KELLY AND RIHANNA . I DONT SEE HOW KELLY IS NOMINATED . I THINK THEY WANT BEYONCE AND KELLY TO BATTLE . JUST LIKE BET AWARDS KERI HILSON DIDNT PERFORM OR WIN THIS YEAR SAME B*******! IN THE 90’S WHEN I GREW UP MUSIC WAS BETTER ! REAL SINGERS WON AWARDS ,, NOW THE SHOWS ARE SUPPORTING GIMMICKS!

  131. …baa, “I just can’t keep his name out my big fat lying mouth” October 11, 2011

    Kelly Rowland is the new “IT GIRL”! You all are going to just have to deal with that fact!! She has spent a great deal of time overseas paying her dues. Lets face it, Beyonce has had the US music market “sewn up” for years! But Kelly is now on the cover of every magazine, she is a judge on a winning UK program (UK X Factor), I mean she is doing it big right now. These rigged award shows are about the hip, hot, and now and lets face it that describes Kelly Roland today!

    **For the record, I enjoyed “Pretty Girl Rock” Keri Hilson’s CD!

  132. pauline October 11, 2011

    @KIMBERLY U MUST BE ON F****** DRUGS OR WEARING THAT CHEAP PERFUME BY BEYONCE TO EVEN TRY TO CONVINCE ME TO LIKE A COPYCAT BYE B**** DONT @ ME OK OR I WILL @ U WITH MY OPINIONS U TEST TUBE BABY ! JUST LIKE BEYONCES TEST TUBE BABY!

  133. Yellow Gorillah October 11, 2011

    Rihanna will Walk away with the RNB Nod

    I can’t wait for the MELT DOWNS!

    What’s My Name, SKIN, Raining Men < —– Let's not act like rihanna does not do RNB! What's My Name was a urban song that set trends and will give her that ward

    Beyonce flopped left and right this year YET she is still nominated complain about that… And Fist Brown … Really I guess they had to fill out that empty gap.

    *Sips m***** Juice*

  134. pauline October 11, 2011

    YEAH I AM COMPLAINING THAT BEYONCE GETS AWAY WITH MURDER!!!

  135. pauline October 11, 2011

    She has also concluded her involvement with the famed F.A.M.E. Tour due to her UK X Factor commitment! She has received maximum exposure this year folks! Like I said, Kelly is the “NEW IT GIRL” * Jason DUH HELL NO voice*

  137. Bey Fan… October 11, 2011

    Beyonce better win r&b female…

    Kelly’s cd is more pop driven than Beyonce’s ….IMO

    Where is Brittney?????

  138. zania October 11, 2011

    The people who should win, is Adele in all her categories,Lil Wayne and Chris Brown in all their categories. The fans chose the winners. I think Rihanna or Lady Gaga will win over Adele, because their fan base is ridiculous and I hope team breezy go hard like last year so Chris can win.

  139. hichem October 11, 2011

    what the f*** !!! where’s BRITNEY? she’s had successful singles this year, what a FLOP show? can u get any FLOPPER !!!!

  140. MadonnaLover October 11, 2011

    Chris brown may win, but I really hope beyonce does. I LOVE my b**** rihanna, dont get me wrong, bt beyonce was the most consistent when it comes to a full fledged R&B album. Both chris brown’s and rihanna’s albums had pop in them.

  141. zania October 11, 2011

    R & B album should go to Chris Brown, not Beyonce or Rihanna. He was name by billboard the top R & B act this year, but I have a feeling that they might give it to Beyonce for popularity.

  142. …baa, “I just can’t keep his name out my big fat lying mouth” October 11, 2011

    @Yellow Gorillah
    “And Fist Brown … Really I guess they had to fill out that empty gap. ”
    ****************************

    LOL filling out an empty gap would be why ‘BUSTED LIP’ was nominated!! What RnB song has she made worthy of a nomination? Stop lying to yourself and others.

  143. celebfanboy10 October 11, 2011

    YAY Kelly got nominated!!!! I like RIhanna but how can her album be under the pop/rock category & also R&B/Soul ??? Her music is definitely Pop & not R&B. All her cds on itunes are classified Pop & even on the charts her songs always do better on the Pop & Hot 100 than they do on the R&B/Hip-Hop charts. Oh Well. GOOOO KELLY!!!!! #TeamKelly

    R & B album should go to Chris Brown, not Beyonce or Rihanna. He was name by billboard the top R & B act this year,
    *************************

    When was this announced?

    I’m with you he should win but they will probably give it to Beyonce. After all, they can’t let both of “Illuminati Jay’s” ladies loose to Chris Brown! LOL

  145. Mariah Queen of Music October 11, 2011

    @Pauline

    STFU. nobody even cares/replies to your Keri Hilson stanning. It’s annoying.
    Anyway, I hope Adele wins all her nominations. It’s about time that real music gets recognized.

  146. MadonnaLover October 11, 2011

    @Zania
    Put being a fan aside. You really think chris brown should win in the category even though his album was not consistent? It was half pop, half r&b. Beyonce should win.

  147. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    It has become obvious that @PAULINE is a classic stan. Pauline allow me to read you some information from Stan Wars.com

    Recently, they did a report on Basic B******

    The Basic B**** Catch-22

    You attract your fan base because you simple and non-threatening, but those same qualities cause you to blend in (and fade out) in the music industry. This is known as the Basic B**** Catch-22. The Basic B**** Catch-22 simply states that a basic b**** is a flop because she can’t properly promote her music, but she can’t properly promote her music because she is a flop. Award shows and TV shows are merely a reflection of what mainstream audiences want to see. TV producers want ratings, therefore they book artists who will attract millions of viewers around the world, not dozens of viewers in Georgia. Once you have established yourself as being basic unspectacular, and unpopular, TV producers are not going book you on their shows to be basic unspectacular, and unpopular.

    Myths About Basic B******

    “All She Needs is the Right Material and She’ll Be More Famous”
    Thinking purely from a publishing perspective, most songwriters want their songs to get the most mileage as possible. Each time a song is played on TV, film, the radio, or performed on tour, songwriters get paid. So if you were a songwriter would you give your best material to an A-List artist who gets played on the radio, goes on tour, and sells albums or would you give you your best material to a basic b**** whose albums gets pushed back for 12 years?

    “All She Needs is A Vocal Coach”

    Another myth perpetuated by the basic and uninformed. Vocal coaches won’t turn you into Aretha Franklin anymore than a basketball coach can turn you into Derrick Rose. The job of a vocal coach is to teach you how to get the most out of your existing talent and not damage your voice (whether it’s big or small). If your voice is naturally s***** and shaky all a vocal coach can do is teach you how not to damage the shaky-s***** voice that you have.

    “All She Needs is $75 Until the 1st of the Month”

    Most stans think that changing labels will magically turn their favorite flop into a worldwide megastar, but the odds of a basic b**** getting a huge budget and preferential label treatment is slim. Most basic b****** don’t sell, and if you don’t sell you don’t get a budget, and if you don’t get a budget for live performances, advertisements, and music videos it becomes even harder to promote, so you are back at square one (if you aren’t dropped from the label altogether).

    “She’s Just Being Lazy”

    Another common misconception with basic b****** is that they are just sitting at home doing nothing as their careers pass them by. In the simple minds of basic b**** stans, The VMAs, the Grammys, the AMAs, MTV, BET, and Animal Planet are all calling your favorite begging her to perform, but she is hitting the ignore button. Realistically, a basic b**** will jump at any opportunity to promote herself. She would go to the opening of an envelope if it meant she can get walk a red carpet and get mentioned on a blog. To put it plainly, basic b****** aren’t wasting opportunities, they just aren’t being offered any opportunities.

  148. kody3x October 11, 2011

    @yellow gorilah b**** do you understand chris brown is not going anywhere so hate on hater no life b****

  149. Theman October 11, 2011

    Adele should really get all of hers, but she had better get Pop/Rock album & artist of the yr.

    Beyonce oe Kelly for R&b Female, i would like for Kelly to get it because it would be a breakthrough for her.

    I like Katy and it would be nice for her to get atleast one.

    Of course Chris for male R&b

    Nicki for best hiphop artist

    Kanye/Jay or Nicki for best hiphop album

    The Ama’s choose their nominees by album sales,single sales/radio airplay. So if your singles chart alot on certain formats and you do well in those fields you’ll get the nominations.

  150. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    MORE INFO ON BASIC B****** LIKE KERI HILSON

    The Advantages of Being a Basic B****

    The music industry is not a business of being talented, it’s a business of being liked. In that regard, basic b****** will always attract a fanbase (albeit small). If someone medicore and mildly talented can become famous it gives other mediocre and mildly talented people hope that they too can make something of themselves. Basic b****** are simple and non-threatening which is why their fans gravitate towards them. The love between a basic b**** and her stans is more personality-based than talented based, so fans of basic b****** often mistake accessibility with ubiquity, and having a great personality with having great talent. In recent years, trying to make the distinction between talent and personality has been further complicated with the advent of Twitter and reality television.

    The Disadvantages of Being a Stan of a Basic B****

    There is nothing inherently wrong with stanning for a basic b****, but problems arise when stans of Z-list artists try to compare to A-list artists. When you stan for a basic b****, your favorite artist represents the person you are, relevant artists represent the type of person you want to be; because of this stans of basic b****** often downplay the success of the more talented and popular. All stans live vicariously through their favorite artist’s achievements, but when you stan for someone who hasn’t really achieved anything, stan wars can be very frustrating, especially when dealing with stans of artists who are more naturally talented and commercially relevant. Because of the competitive nature of stan wars, being stan of a basic b**** can be frustrating in several ways:

    Lack of Uniqueness

    The obvious disadvantage of being a stan of a basic b**** is that there is nothing unique or remarkable about the person that you stan for. All stans try to portray their idols as more talented and popular than they really are, but stans of basic b****** have it extra hard because there is absolutely nothing extraordinary about their favorite artist. Most icons and legends become iconic because they are marketed as unique and one-of-a-kind; but if I can find 12 of you at any WIC office, bus stop, or inner-city high school chorus room, your time in the spotlight will probably be short (if you get any time at all).

    No Concept of Scale

    Stans of basic b****** have no concept of scale. To them one #1 single on the c*** stations = 10 years of worldwide success; opening for J. Holiday at the Bonner Brothers hair show is the same as headlining a soccer stadium with 50,000 people, and one BET Award nomination is better than 20 Grammy wins. Stans of basic b****** are not used to success, so they usually try to make small achievements 1000x bigger than what they are.

    Lack of Promotion

    Sometimes the problem with the promotion of basic b****** is not because of mainstream apathy, but the stans themselves. If the small fanbase you do have likes you for doing basic R&B or simple dance-pop, it may be too much of a risk to experiment with different genres of music. It may be hard to change your fashion style and wear haute couture when your fan base shops at Fashion Bug, and you can’t create any elaborate creative videos, because your simple-minded fans would say you’re a part of the Illuminati. Basic b****** remain basic because their fans lack the desire,exposure, and mental capacity to see them be anything other than basic. You could reinvent yourself and possibly attract new fans, or you could fail and lose what few fans you have; it’s too much of a risk, so more often than not most basic b****** will forever remain basic.

    @Madonna, Yes I do, Chris had so many R & B hits over the past year, Deuces, No B*******, Wet the bed, and his biggest hit was look at me now which is the top song of the year., it went three times platinum. When Beyonce album came out they listed her in the pop category on itunes, she has no #1 R & B songs on her album. I like Beyonce, I wasn’t saying this because I am a huge CB fan, I am stating the fact that he ran R & B this year, if it wasn’t off is album, he was feature on everyone else album with hits.

  154. zania October 11, 2011

    As for Kelly Hilson

    She only had one single peak within the top 30.You know some of these award shows like to TREND HOP unfortunately for Keri.I doubt the award shows are going to snub an artist with a #1 album,a Top 30 AND a Top 20 single this era(Beyonce) for someone who dropped ONE MODERATELY performing single,while touring at Walmart parking lots fror the rest of the year.Skeri needs to have people WANT to buy her album THEN the awards will come to her.

    Why they prefer Kelly Rowland over Kelly Hilson is completely arbitrary

    @BEYONCEBOY100
    Haha you shady!
    LOOK

    Beyonce’s “4” sold 1,728,800 million 11 weeks WORLDWIDE
    Rihanna’s “LOUD” 1,423,000 million 11 weeks IN THE US ONLY (!!!!)
    Rihanna passed 2 million WW in what, two months and three million in three months!

    No hatin’, just preachin’ the truth! I wish Beyonce wasn’t such a copycat though, because I really like her…Amazing performer, if she just starting developing that creative path ON HER OWN, then she’ll be THE BIGGEST

  163. zania October 11, 2011

    Only two R & B artist sold more than 500,000 Beyonce, Chris Brown this year. The others have certified gold albums based on shipment, but not sales, Jennifer hudson, Jill Scott.

  164. Theman October 11, 2011

    Chris Brown was not supposed to win last yr. That was a misunderstanding. Usher derved those awards. Chris’s album didn’t do to well before this latest one.

  165. Theman October 11, 2011

    Also Adele won 4 Vma’s. She didn’t get any of the live categories because her video was simplistic but done in fantastic form.

  166. …baa, “I just can’t keep his name out my big fat lying mouth” October 11, 2011

    @zania

    Thank you! I’m going to have to see if I can find that posting. It might be a good read. BB gets on my nerve sometimes with their reporting. Everybody wants to be tmz these days! LOL 🙂

  167. kody3x October 11, 2011

    they better not f*** up cb win like last year

  168. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    BEYONCE’s album is certified platinum! Based on shipments though. C’MON let’s be real? Will 4 sell 1 million in US by New Years?

    She is Beyonce, so probably.

    If she can manage to outsell albums with several hits on the strenght of no hits, she can manage to do a Mili by Christmas.

  169. EightiesBaby8030 October 11, 2011

    Why do they keep putting Rihanna in the R&B/Soul categories just because she’s black? Oh yeah, I guess I just answered my own question, because she’s black! Smh…. Go, Go, Go, Team Kelly!!! So happy she got nominated!! She deserves it, Here I Am is a great album.

  170. >U Mad. October 11, 2011

    tight competition s,so at the end of the day whoever have the strongest and must loyal fan base will come out on top are have a strong chance ,well i always do my part for my fav so i,ll see how it go,s.

  174. beyonceboy100 October 11, 2011

    @Surviver cant be i f riri selll 5 million world wide look at the table rihaans sales world wide

    CLARK U SPEND TIME HATING ON KERI HILSON FOR WHAT ???????? I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT A HATER LIKE U DONT LIKE REAL R&b???????????????????????????????? SPEAK ASSHOLE

  188. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    So it’s a crime to use samples?

    I shall remind you of the Basic B**** Catch 22

    You attract your fan base because you simple and non-threatening, but those same qualities cause you to blend in (and fade out) in the music industry. This is known as the Basic B**** Catch-22. The Basic B**** Catch-22 simply states that a basic b**** is a flop because she can’t properly promote her music, but she can’t properly promote her music because she is a flop. Award shows and TV shows are merely a reflection of what mainstream audiences want to see. TV producers want ratings, therefore they book artists who will attract millions of viewers around the world, not dozens of viewers in Georgia. Once you have established yourself as being basic unspectacular, and unpopular, TV producers are not going book you on their shows to be basic unspectacular, and unpopular.

    If people cared, she would have been nominated.

  189. KINGBeysus October 11, 2011

    These f*** stay mad at the Queen.
    Anyways, I hope Kelly wins her category because she deserves it and Bey rack up everything else.

    That’s all I’m here for f*** FATdele and Goat.

  192. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    Basic B**** Catch 22. She is not a flop because can’t promote her music, she can’t promote her music because she is a flop.

  210. cellete October 11, 2011

    lol rihanna is not soul or r&b funny american music awards.

  211. Adriana October 11, 2011

    Why does Rihanna seem to always get random nominations in really strange categories? It seems people can’t quite figure out where she stands musically. She defintiely pop, but like Madonna, she mixes up her sound based on what’s hot: dancehall, raggae, urban pop, electro pop, house…I like her versatility…She’s a black girl who can be put in the same categories as a white female pop artist, unlike Janet or Beyonce who usually get put in the R&B/Urban categories typical for black female singers. Rihanna SHOUL have been nominated for Best Pop/Rock Female and Artist of the Year.

  212. JAMIR21: I LOVE RIHANNA, BRITNEY, BEYONCE, NICKI AND GAGA October 11, 2011

    hmmmm interesting

    i remember when lauryn hill called beyonces music bubble gum that was silly.

  224. JR (the REAL ONE) October 11, 2011

    I have no time to argue with stans about b******* that really is irrelevant. Let me say this. I hope CHRIS BROWN wins and I am routing for KELLY ROWLAND. I think when it comes to Pop Rihanna & Beyonce should have been in that category. Just my opinion.

    Now to explain my frustration is why hasnt MONICA ever been nominated for the Soul R&B album. I wish a bi%ch would say she cannot sing, and that her album was not soulful…anyway I hate these n** a$$ award shows. I wish everyone the best….#carryon

  225. zania October 11, 2011

    @S*** YOU MEAN BEYONCE WILL SELL 1 MILLION BY 2012, SHE ONLY SELLING 15,000 A WEEK DO THE MATH.

    Rihanna should be nowhere on that list. that b**** cant sing!!!!!!
    I hope Adele , Gaga, and Beyonce win everything, those are talented women.

  249. Word October 11, 2011

    @ADRIANA

    b**** please, Rihanna is not a diverse artist. she makes Pop, Dance, and New School Reggae music, she is easily placed in an R&B catergory. She is not a versatile artist.
    Lets see her whip out Opera, “REAL” Alternative Ballads, Metal, & Electronic. That generic s*** u hearing with the same beat repeated constantly is nothing new boo.

  250. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    rihanna fans really forget rihanna’s first 4 albums and tours, she flop harder than ciara and keri hilson. How many albums are the navy responsible for? 1 or 5, one success or 4 flops.

    And to the f** who saying, “Where’s Britney???”

    News for you: She’s not up there for a reason, she may be a former legendary performer, but now she is an autotuned, non-dancing Flop.

    Femme Fetale Flopped HARD!!!! Not even a million was sold in the U.S yet!!!!! B**** not to mention, Amazon sold Femme Fetale for 4.99 after a week. lmao (and yall bash Gaga???) but it had successful singles. (Where is CRIMINAL on the charts?) but it still FLOPPED nonetheless, the highest selling artists this yeat is Adele, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Chris Brown , and Lil Wayne, they will win awards, you will deal…..

  254. Kimberly October 11, 2011

    @ word I disagree award nominations do not reflect sales figures. britney should be nominated. On another note The status of britney sales is just a reflection of what an artist who has no or minimal talent can be like when he or she matures in the public eye and has to please the mature like them. from america pop sweetheart to the lesat selling pop female. kinda weird

  261. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    To whoever said 4 won’t do 1 million by 2012. Saying it only sells 15,000 per week. It sells 18,000 per week actually. There are 11 weeks left in 2011. 18,000 x 11 = 198,000. 818,000 + 198,000 = 1,016,000. I did the math. 🙂

  262. LTM October 11, 2011

    the numbers Zania posted are U.S only. Billboard doesnt post world wide, which they should really clarify.

    YAS Christopher! SLAY! I’m proud of him. But let AMAs pull the s*** they pulled last year. I’m not even about to get into it but apperantly on the teleprompter it said Chris(according to Neonlimelight and they are a crediable blog) but Usher won. TB was all hype we were f****** pissed. I was ready to throw my remote throw the TV….and I don’t have time to act a fool this year. Honestly I will just turn my TV off and go to sleep because the fuckery is tired It always seems nobody can read the damn telepromoter right when they KNOW it is Christopher Brown’s Award….like read the s*** right and stop playing games.. And they apperantly cheated Gaga too because she wasn’t there. They gave her Award to Justin Bieber but someone got a screenshot of a message saying they were just gonna give the award to Bieber because he was there. Lawwwwd. I can’t this year they better keep it cute.

    And let them pull the fuckery BET 2011 Awards pulled. I don’t got time for it. Like I’m over the whole Chrianna thing but obviously the media, Awards, and immature fans lowkey aren’t over it they are so messy. That’s why I don’t like Chris and Rihanna nominated in the same catergory people ALWAYS have to be messy. Stop that s***. That’s embarassing and annoying on both parts to be honest. That’s why I feel sorry for the delusional people in the Navy sometimes because they think the media is here for Rih and actually gives a f***…they are willing to f*** with her in a second if they know it will upset Chris too. They need to be professional or it’s gonna be a riot up in this b****. F*** the London Riots from this summer. Teambreezy riots up in this b****.

    I hope Chris performs though! What Award show hasn’t he really went to this year? He better slay I’m so happy for him! Can the fans vote? TeamBreezy better go in!! LEGGOOO!

    BEYONCE SHOULD PERFORM PREGNANT. It will have the same effect from the VMA’s and give all the other artists a case of Beyonceitis.

    BEYONCEITIS for those who don’t know, is when artists are ignored and forgotten because everyone is paying attention to Beyonce.

    Happened to Ashanti when Bey released her debut album.
    Happened to Ciara and her third album when Beyonce came out with Single Ladies.
    Happened to every artist appearing at the 2011 VMA’s when Beyonce flashed her Baby Bump.

    The CDC should recognize Beyonceitis as an official epidemic.

  268. DrunkTwitt October 11, 2011

    I think as far as the R&B/Soul Album 4 is the only straight R&B Album.
    Fame is not that good of an album neither is loud.
    Kelly’s album sucked, too bad she finally gets recognized her by her worst album……
    Graffiti was an better album than fame
    Good Girl Gone bad is my s***….That’s Rihanna’s Opus album
    Loud is an blah album though
    If rihanna would’ve kept it going with the GGGB formula i’d be a stan.
    I’m a kelly fan though and hope she wins.
    Beyonce can stand to loose an award and have an flop album. I mean 14 years of success it won’t hurt.(Not Counting Destiny’s Child debut album)
    Maybe she will give us her best material wise next time

    Adele should win all her nominations(not a fan though)

    As far as Female R&B/Soul act my vote goes to beyonce.
    Kelly’s album isn’t that R&B and Rihanna is Pop.

    But where is Jill Scott?
    F*** Keri Hilson!!!! She wants to be Beyonce.(that’s why she hates her)
    Jill’s album was better than chris brown’s,Beyonce’s and Rihanna’s

  269. Commander of the RihannaNavy October 11, 2011

    Rihanna is pop but she gets thrown in the R&B catagories because of the color of her skin. Reguardless, shes won that catagory 6/7 years in a row, Im sure this year wont be any different

  270. Commander of the RihannaNavy October 11, 2011

    No shade, but how the hell did Usher get nominated??

  271. noodles October 11, 2011

    @commander
    Exactly! I love Usher…but he hasn’t done s*** this year like why are you nominated? Just like Justin Beiber who I also like but it’s just like sit down until next year other people actually put in work why are you nominated?

  272. Dollar$ign$kills October 11, 2011

    The AMAs fail at nominating. They always have though, so IDK why people are surprised

  273. Commander of the RihannaNavy October 11, 2011

    @Noodles
    Usher only put out 1 song this year and it wasnt close to R&B. And I dont have anything against Justin, but his music isnt that popular here in the U.S, his status is. The only JB song Ive ever heard on the radio is Baby.

    @Dollar$ign$kills
    Where have you been?

  274. Dollar$ign$kills October 11, 2011

    @Commander
    Ive been working, studying, and going to school. I spend most of my free time sleeping now. TGJ is a negative place anyway, you gotta take breaks. Too much hate here.

  275. Clark Smith October 11, 2011

    @DRUNKTWIT – I agree, but 4 is not a flop. It has yet to spawn a smash hit single, but being certified platinum and selling nearly 2 million world wide isn’t flopping. It just isn’t.

  276. Commander of the RihannaNavy October 11, 2011

    @Dollar$ign
    Well you need to be here more often. The Navy has Pop Royalty to hold it down, but nobody here stans for Ke$ha except you.

    how the hell did Usher get a nom when he only released 1 song this year?

  280. Lola October 11, 2011

    Omggggg… I Hope Kelly Friggin Winssssssss!! She Deserves An Award!!!!!!!!

  281. Dollar$ign$kills October 11, 2011

    @Jamir21
    Same here. I didnt mind that sound until Dr.Luke started recycling her beats for others like Flo Rida, Katy Perry, and Taio Cruz. Shes gonna kick ass doing 70s rock, Im excited!

  282. JAMIR21: I LOVE RIHANNA, BRITNEY, BEYONCE, NICKI AND GAGA October 11, 2011

  286. DanceDivaBabyBey October 12, 2011

    Adele should win artist of the year, Beyonce Soul/R&B Album, Beyonce or Kelly Soul/R&B Female, Chris Brown Soul/R&B Male, Watch The Throne Hip-Hop Album, Lil Wayne Hip-Hop Artist, Adele or Lady Gaga Pop/Rock Album, Adele, Lady Gaga or Katy Perry Pop/Rock Artist!!!! My predictions

  287. RATEDXXX(AKARATEDX) October 12, 2011

    @they should rename it the ” The Most DickRidden Artist Awards 2011….

    Amen to that…the same people gets nominated over and over again..meanwhile people that actually have real talents, take their time to come up with their own ideas…dont get s***..

    so because rihanna is black her album has to be R&B.. aint that some s***?

    REAL TALENT IS DEAD AS F***

  289. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 12, 2011

    beyonce sold 818,000 to date she is not about to slay s*** . funny ho u haters hate on keri hilson but no boys allowed is an underrated album ,, shes not in the illuminati thats why shes not on top with the other frauds like beyonce rihanna and gaga. i’m so sick of people hating on keri hilson her cd is pure fire … no boys allowed is way better than 4 and loud so dont hate . keri sings better than rihanna live and in the studio . 4 is trash compared to no boys allowed . kei has mature songs on her cd she aint trying to be beyonce shes in her own damn lane. keri has the swag and the s*** look keri could be one of the jackson just like ciara . when it comes to swag keri hilson and ciara are the only two r&b females who could remind you of the jacksons or aaliyah. if michael jackson was alive trust that he would like keri hilson… for you that hated on keri when the mj concert came around , keri hilson already performed for the entire jackson family a few years back singing whos loving you so stop hating on real r&b . the people who hate on keri hilson are beyonce fans and stans , they know she is a threat .

  290. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 12, 2011

    i know keri hilson can sing i have been to her concerts she is amazing live , what pisses me off is the haters on her talking s*** about keri hilson comparing her to a copycat beyonce ! most of you never heard no boys allowed it can be played from beginning to end stay mad keep hating , i guess keri is doing something right because she got haters for days ! you bring uo her album sales but she sold more than kelly rowland and ciara so for and shes coming for ur fav next! yeah when keri ‘s 3rd cd comes out she will be 10 times bigger than ur fav! keri hilson is grammy nominated and a mega star . her music is doing well she dont have to prove s*** to the haters so stop talking s*** on this post . KERI HILSON SHOULD BE NOMINATED BUT SINCE THEY WANNA BATTLE KELLY AND BEYONCE SHE DIDNT MAKE THE CUT SO F*** THE AMAS! SHE GOT SNUBBED ONCE AGAIN JUST LIKE THE VMAS AND BET AWARDS!!!!

  291. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 12, 2011

    THEY BEEN GIVING BEYONCE AWARDS LEFT AND RIGHT EVERY YEAR EVEN WHEN SHE HASNT DID S*** TO GET ONE HER NAME SEEMS TO BE NOMINATED , JUST LIKE THIS BILLBOARD AWARD SGE JUST WON AFTER SHE COPIED THE AFRICANS DANCE MOVES . BEYONCE SHOULD NOT BE WINNING ANY AWARDS SHE HAS ENOUGH AND IM TIRED OF SEEING HER AND RIHANNA !

  292. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 12, 2011

    KEEP HATING ON KERI HILSON , SHE JUST SOLD OUT HER CONCERT IN LONDON !!!!!!! HATERS KEEP TALKING …….

  293. Clark Smith October 12, 2011

    Beyonce sold out her concert in 22 seconds. Beat That. We will see what you’re saying when 4 has topped the 1 million mark in December and when Countdown has became this era’s first smash. I’m not hating on Keri Hilson, but she ain’t Beyonce and she’s never really outsold Beyonce so don’t come for Bey’s sales.

  294. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 12, 2011

    COUNTDOWN IS A COPYCAT VIDEO ALONG WITH THE NEW EDITION LOVE ON TOP VIDEO SO KISS MY ASS HATERS!

  295. KERI HILSON IS BADDDDDDDD AND SHES A THREAT TO UR FAV October 12, 2011

    BEYONCE IS FADING FAST KERI HILSON IS BETTER THAN BEYONCE HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  296. JB October 12, 2011

    @KERI HILSON

    Yes, I am very disappointed in this development. I love the Countdown video though! I’m going to need Beyonce to stop copying, barrowing, or feeling inspired by others.

  297. JB October 12, 2011

    This is going to be a good show. I would most like to see Bruno Mars, Maroon 5 with Christina Agularia, Adele, Chris Brown, and Rihanna perform.

  298. JB October 12, 2011

    Please stop comparing Beyonce and Rihanna. There is no competition between them. Beyonce is an overall better talent then Rihanna. Rihanna has produced some great singles in recent years. Although, Rihanna has a long way to go to touch Beyonce. I’m not a Beyonce stan. I’m just telling the truth.

  299. chianne October 12, 2011

    @rorymanor
    Best Artist – you say they pick someone from each genre for this – SO WHICH ONE IS THE SOUL/RnB artist?? And aren’t Adele, Katy and Gaga all POP? I don’t see your logic on this one.

    And all you ‘Fist Brown’ people – that’s just old and tired. Rihanna herself has stated this week she’s past it and that she’s a solid fan of CB’s music. Please try to focus your comments on his music and his nominations.

  300. beyoncititus October 12, 2011

    Nicki terminated
    T***** Gayga terminated
    Rigoat massacred
    Katy Pervy terminated

  305. commanderofthedancefloor October 12, 2011

    @KIMBERLY,

    rihanna’s first 4 albums flopped? haters stay depressed,
    music of the sun rihanna’s debut and least successful album sold 1.5 million ww, more than keri hilson or ciara’s last albums combined and that is when rihanna was unknown,
    a girl like me released only 7 months later sold 3.5 million, just as much as ciara’s most successful album. don’t try it hunny,
    then GGGB, which sold 9 million, combine all of ciara’s and keri hilsons’s album sales and they still don’t equal that much,
    rated r which sold 3.6 million, her most emotional album, and by the way none of your favs have even come close to any emotion that rihanna has made like on rated r.
    LOUD, which sold 6.2 million.

    @S***,

    rated r singles flopped? RR #9, Hard #8, rude boy #1 for 5 consecutive weeks. sorry babe the navy always has their facts

  306. commanderofthedancefloor October 12, 2011

    what is with the delusion ciara, and keri fans.

    they have the nerve to even say they are better than beyonce, and i am no beyonce stan but you girls need to have your brains and ears checked, 4 is beyonce’s lowest selling album and it still outsold both ciara’s and keri hilson’s last albums.

  307. KP Lover October 12, 2011

    I hope Katy wins!

  308. mochasweet October 16, 2011

    I am so proud Kelly Rowland got nominated! Keep working hard “Black Barbie doll”! Buy her album its amazing she has’nt even scratched the surface of hits on that album!

  309. JUST A THOUGHT…….. October 24, 2011

    HERE’S A THOUGHT: KELLY ROWLAND AND KERI HILSON ARE BOTH GREAT ARTIST WITH EQUALLY GREAT SONGS JUST AS EVERY OTHER ARTIST IN THE GAME TODAY. FOR A WHILE NOW KELLY HAS BEEN IN THE SHADOWS OF HER LOVELY SISTER BEYONCE AND OTHER ARTISTS WITH LESS TALENT AND LESS EXPERIENCE. SHE HAS FINALLY TAKEN CHARGE IN HER CAREER AND HER HARD WORK IS JUST BEING RECOGNIZE AS WELL AS THE HARD WORK OF THE OTHER ARTIST NOMINATED FOR AN AWARD.

    “HERE I AM” IS A GREAT ALBUM AS WELL AS “NO BOYS ALLOWED.” WHILE I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN KERI HILSON RECOGNIZED AS WELL, I AM HAPPY THAT KELLY ROWLAND IS BEING RECOGNIZED AS “KELLY ROWLAND” AND NOT “KELLY ROWLAND OF DC3.” KERI HILSON IS VERY TALENTED AND HER TIME WILL COME AND IT WILL BE WELL DESERVE WHEN IT DOES JUST AS KELLY’S IS WELL DESERVED.

    JUST AS WE REVERE THE GREAT SOUL/R&B/DANCE LEGENDS AND DIVA’S OF THE PAST (ARETHA, PATTI, ANITA BAKER, WHITNEY, DIANA, MARY WILSON, ALLYSON WILLIAMS, GLADY’S KNIGHT, JANET JACKSON AND TINA TURNER JUST TO NAME A FEW), THE ARIST OF OUR TIME WILL BE REVERED AND LEGENDS IN THEIR OWN RIGHT. KELLY ROWLAND AND KERI HILSON ARE TWO NAMES THAT WILL DEFINITELY BE REVERED AND GO DOWN AS LEGENDS IN THE GAME.

    SO JUST A THOUGHT: WHY BREAK DOWN THE ESSENCE OF MUSIC BY COMPARING AND BASHING THE ARTIST AND THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS B/C YOU DON’T FEEL IT’S DESERVED. JUST LOVE THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC THAT ALL OF OUR TALENTED ARTISTS IN THE GAME RECOGNIZED OR NOT POUR OUT OF THEIR HEARTS FOR US.

    MY FAVES: EVERY ARTIST IN THE GAME. I HAVE NOTHING BUT RESPECT FOR THEM ALL.
