Ciara flops, gets the haters, Ciara wins, gets the haters pressed. Whether she wins this award or not, she was still nominated. Why should any awards show nominate Kelly, K or Tamar when Kelly and Tamar did NOT promote their albums properly and K made a basic R&B album. Ciara proved herself an artiist with this album and has the biggest female R&B song/video of the year with Body Party and almost had the biggest female collabo with I'm Out except ppl were still stuck on Body Party when it was released and Blurred Lines, We Cant Stop and Get Lucky were dominating the sales and radio charts during July/August. The Favorite Soul/R&B Female category should've been Ciara, Alicia and Keyshia tbh. Keyshia is still promoting her album and is getting paid dust because she spoke the truth about Michelle's tired, stiff ass. Tamar and K should mostly due their reality shows and Kelly had to drop a song about her relationship with Beyonce to sell TAGG. Ciara and Fantasia were the only female artists who sold off their name and promotional efforts. Stop hating and recognize what it is. Yeah, Ciara sales have started off slow but she and LA are still going to push this album at least til next summer with Overdose, DUI then Read My Lips and her album will sell a lot more. P.S. To the Navy, sell Rihanna to stop selling her album during Black Friday and let's see how much she'll without her album being 60% off...
