For the BET Awards 2015, I need Chris Brown to perform perform “Songs on 12 Play” along with Trey Songz, Jeremih, Jason Derulo and August Alsina.
Just putting it out there.
Merr X-mas y’all!!!
Woo!!! Beyoncé!!! Azealia!!!! Revenge!!! Broke With Expensive Taste is the best album of 2014!!! LOL at Rihanna’s delays of her album!!!
Why isn’t Drunk In Love for single of the year???
Because it was released last year obviously.
Um so was Dark Horse and All Of Me…
I see Samantha couldn’t resist to throw in some tired shade, on Christmas of all days.
I’ll pass, the categories are too corny and rigged! Merry Christmas though.
“Merry Christmas Everyone “
Voted!
King B!!!! & Queen Janet!!!!
…
Nicki!
Breezy!
Sam Smith!
Tinashe!
Teyana!
…& a few others too.
AWBAH deserved a nom for best album tho. Just saying
And Ms Nowhereland having her own award? Ch…..
I forgot all about JoJo tho! And yeah I can’t believe RiRi didn’t drop an album. And Adele too. Waiting on all those plus #UntilThen who is turning into the fcking Chinese Democracy of r&b smdh
I totally agree. I feel like people let her ratchetness get in the way of exploring her as an artist. But she’s really a talented artist. Best Female R&B album of the year imo
D’Angelo released what is probably the most significant protest album of this generation and it doesn’t even rank for Album of the Year?
Come to think of it, TGJ didn’t even have a single post about D’Angelo’s album.
What gives?
Can’t lie, the last couple categories had me in stitches! The Beyhive ain’t playing tho. Britney should’ve been in the most anticipated comeback for 2015, I chose Janet but come one does Jojo even have a record deal? Her album has been in the works for a millenia.
BTW, Merry Christmas everyone.
Album of the year category is too weak. My favourites were
FKA Twigs – LP1
D’Angelo – Black Messiah
Run The Jewels 2
2014 Forest Hills Drive
The category for album of the year sucks:-D
A f****** joke! LOL It´s not like these awards have any type of credibility or relevance though 🙂
The nominations are a mess and I´m also so tired of Mariah Carey, a f****** real legend unlike 95% of the people discussed in this blog, being shaded every single year in these laughable nominations, always being featured in the bad ones, as if she were a nobody. But of course people like Iggy Azalea, Jennifer Lopez, Nicki minaj or Ariana Grande get positive nominations? LOL
Death at that kelly rowland award…
The nominations are horrible – Gawd! Fraudeyonce will probably win most of these “awards” seeing how whack these nominations are.

7/11 for best video????? WTF
I stopped voting when I saw that Beyonce were wining and being nominated like hell
Screw you samantha u worthless drag queen.. Mariah Carey is QUEEN even if you don’t wana acknowledge it.. Sore Loser
It’s crazy bc he stans for irrelevants whose live vocals sound like that Rockefeller Center performance on their best day. I can’t with him sometimes.
I’m sorry. How the hell does “Break Free” land under Recession special/worst video? That was like her 2nd best video. Used a lot of green screen and took a lot of time to edit. Which is why it took so long to be released. Also… Rihanna’s constant delay of album? Y’all are some dumb ass mofos. HOW HAS THAT ALBUM been delayed when nothing pertaining to it has been released. That’s not delaying. That TAKING TIME to craft it, ya know like other artistes do. F***, sometimes Sam and everyone else at TGJ annoy the s*** outta me with their constant b*******.
Where is Uptown Funk ?
Only thing I’m checking for is Janet!
I’m over these. Just say Beyonce won every damn category already!! Ugh!
Most Anticipated Comeback of 2015- goes to Miss Janet Jackson *patiently waiting*
Artist of the year goes to taylor swift obviously. Shea owned 2014. Only artists with 2 number 1 singles on the hot 100. 4.6 million sold of 1989 already.
Please tell me how Iggy’s album is the second best selling hiphop album of 2014…and Nicki’s just came out n already is flopping but its nominated lol I’m puzzled this s*** is rigged
I voted for Ashanti
I can’t with that kelly Rowland award lmfao
Sam shade is like EDM… great and entertaining the first few minutes then irritating, played out, dry, and extremely repetitive. Anyway, the ONLY good thing I see in this poll is the comeback of Mrs. Janet Jackson; the rest is blah blah. Also, I just finished the D’Angelo album, and it’s the best album of 2014 and probably the last 5-6 years.
Anticipating my girl, JoJo’s return for 2015.
