Dumbass if you could discern fact from fiction you would know that in addition to removing the NEEDED categories of TRADITIONAL & CONTEMPORARY music (R&B, Jazz Rock) they also removed the NEEDED MALE & FEMALES artist categories!

For 43 years there had been a BEST FEMALE CATEGORY and a BEST MALE CATEGORY in all genres. WOMEN should compete for this title (in R&B Jill Scott, Ledisi, Beyonce, Fantasha, Marsha Ambrosia, M Fiona, Rihanna etc). As the MEN should compete for theirs. Why do away with these categories all of a sudden? As there are distincted differences WITHIN GENRE, hence the need to have a return of the TRADITIONAL & CONTEMPORARY R&B categories, there is also a musical difference between MEN & WOMEN! There was nothing wrong with celebrating both groups independently as well as a group (e.g Best Song, Best Album/CD etc which are group -male & female- competitions).
