Modern R&B does NOT mean rhythm and blues, it basically just means music of black origin, the Grammys get it right as they have two categories - one for modern R&B and one for original R&B (think Chuck Berry, Little Richard, songs like Maybelline, Johnny be Good etc). So, sometimes Rihanna is R&B in the sense of singing music of black origin (Rude Boy is the first one that springs to mind) and sometimes she is a pure pop act. Peoples Choice is a crappy awards show anyway, she didn't even bother to turn up and I don't blame her ;o)
