If these awards don't matter and are so basic, then why are people so upset? This whole R&B female category rant is for the birds. You don't have to release an album unless, the nomination calls for it duh! Kelly has had two singles out from this album and they both are flops(her collaborations have been flops also) Keyshia Cole woman to woman has yet to push 350K in the united states alone(every single failed) Elle was a flop and refill was a flop Ciara took 5 tries to get a top 30 hit Melanie Fiona is a basic glop who 1000 fans stay swearing she deserves this and that(yet she hasn't done anything but have a minor hit 2 or 3 yrs ago Tamar fans are delusional, Tamar isn't going to slay anything, love&war(trust&believe part 2) was sheer luck.... Fantasia,Beyonce,Alicia Keys,Rihanna, and Brandy(flopped also) deserve nominations and no one else
