#NowPlaying: Imogen Heap – ‘Goodnight and Go.’
Cedric and Oral Gel need to withdraw.
B**** you stay name dropping QUEENara. Tuna doesn’t stand a chance in hell and you’re upset.
David’s on the committee so we know Tinashe, Ciara and Rita will get at least one nom between them.. 7/11 doesn’t deserve to be there but Ring Off does and what the ell with Fetty trying to win Best Song. Ambitious or nah?
Ciara still has your mind? Girl….. you stay MAD.
Yassss Ciara!!!???????????? #Slayara
All flops
Yes Rihanna is sis.
lmao SIS..stop you stand for ciflop like why do you guys try .
CIARA
TAYLOR
TORI
DRAKE
THE WEEKND
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yaaaas sis
1. I saw a list on Twitter Nicki literally submitted everything she’s done…she wants this bad
2. I LOVE Beyoncé but 7/11 in Song and Record of the year….hmmm it’s crazy enough to work
3. Taylor’s generic pop album better not win album of the year.
4. Madonna’s Rebel Heart is a solid album, her best since Confessions On A Dancefloor I would’ve wanted it to receive some recognition
And Oinknika still ain’t gonna win shiddd! Hahahahahahahaha! Grammyless flop!
Lmaooo!!! You’re so damn childish. How old are you again? 26. F***. Show some class and quit embarrassing Kim…. Idk why Beyonce submitted 7/11 haha. Oh no honey.
Nicki minajs rant actually worked!
Biitch Rebel Heart is a flop
I can’t with some of these submissions…???????? really?
Exactly @Slay_Hives… Was Nicki thinking about The Grammys when she made The Pinkprint, because it doesnt seem the slight bit worthy for a nomination let alone a win.
Rihanna & Beyonce can also miss me with the 7/11 and BBHMM submissions. And then there’s Fetty Wap
There’s no way Beyoncé lost to Beck last year on the grounds that he is a ” better artist” only for Taylor to win this year. The album is nothing special. Great sales and chart positions don’t make the quality of music in an album good.
It’s called vote splitting
She would have won if Pharrell wasn’t nominated or if another rock act was nominated

LMOOO DEATH AT THIS LIL BISH GIVING KEVIN HAWT A RUN FOR HIS COINZZ! BAHJAHHAH
Stupid b****** on this site stealing peoples avi’s & s***. Anyways, LMAO @ “Fetty Wap” submitting that shitt for SOTY.
huh? sis I’ve BEEN using this avi since foreverrrrrrr back when i use to come on this often like years ago…. idk idk o.0 plus why would i want to steal an avi? As if its that serious….
Say what now? I’ve NEVER seen you wit that “The Roof (Back In Time)” video pic avi of MC. But, I’m over it. I changed mines to this new one. So, you can put the other back up in yo avi. K, bye
Sis? something up with this site my avi is showing the green monster thing with teeth 0.O not miarah ???????
Really? Just a few momment ago I saw you with my old avi. But, now I see it’s back to the monster. Ewww I think Sam & David trolling & f****** wit peoples avi’s. Smh.. Sorry sis.
WHAAAAAA THERE SO PATHETIC!!! wtf ???? gorl.Its really not even your fault there so sad :O
look closly at YOUR avi cuz that s*** might not even bee the same but look the same check again stupid….0.O
queeanna comin for those grammys like nobodies business Slay dem queen!
Yes! “It ain’t ‘Nobody’s Business’ but mine and my baby”.
Yaaaas sis
I hope bjork gets nominated her album was really dope
I loved how emotional and vulnerable it was. But I’m sure it won’t get nominated like her other eclectic masterpieces, especially the innovative “Medulla”.
That album was one of my top 3 fave albums by her….I wish here would post more about her sigh
Taylor swift should win so many awards !! This week her album sold more than last weeks number 1!! Taylor’s 50th week!!!
How much has “Fearless” and “1989” sold in total?
Fearless= sold 6,950,000 US 8,681,000 WW
1989= 5,124,000 US 8,600,000 WW
Thanks for the stats, but I thought “Fearless” sold close to 10,000,000 worldwide. I can’t remember where I read that.
I’m not pressed at why ya’ll hate Taylor or any pop star…… This is a Urban blog so ya’ll probably listen to RnB so I trully undersatand……..
The grammys should not be about sales. If a guy named Beck can win, then Ciara deserves a shot with Dance Like We’re Making Love.
My lovely black women – especially Ciara, K. Michelle and Nicki – SUBMIT your ENTIRE albums to the committee. Don’t be pressed if you’re not nominated for something when you had the chance to hand in those gems for consideration. I want to see these women win, despite their obstacles. Come on, and “win, win, win no matter what!”
WTF? My avi box is the green monster with teeth not phuckin moomoo????
Nicki submitted everything.
Rightfully so too. This is the Grammy’s. You better come hard and win/lose like a boss, or stay home and complain about how you should’ve submitted this and that and blah blah didn’t deserve to win. She’ll win something, I’m sure. I just hope that “T.D.G.” gets nominated for something. A performance of the song would definitely help it chart too.
You’re delusional if you think Oinknika is going to beat Fetty Wap, Drake, Big Sean, and others she’s nominated against. Oinknika ain’t winning shidddddd. The Pink Slip is a FLOP!

.
Taylor Swift has 43 single handedly written songs in her discography, meanwhile Rihanna has NONE
.
Keep calling her talentless and generic……… Your opinions
OOP!
Taylor uses several co-writers..single handedly -NOT!
Lol ciara has as much chance winning a Grammy as trey songz has staying in the closet
Didn’t “Glory” clean up at the Oscar’s and Grammy’s last year? Have a seat, Common and John Legend. Y’all had your chance already with the song, and obviously it was a BIG winner. Give someone else a chance at winning and stop messing around milking that song to death another year.
And alquelda I mean Janet Jackson can have several seats ..this isn’t 1970 anymore.
That’s Ms.Jackson to the likes of you. Let’s not forget her album debuted #1 on Billboard. One of 3 women to have a #1 album 4 decades consecutively.
Where’s Shakiras’s not nomination(s)? Is she out in the middle of nowhere helping Pique not blow his cover again by staying in the closet, which all his Soccer “buddies” know? Janet is unbothered and WATCH her clean up at Next year’s Grammy’s, meanwhile Shakira’s too busy planning her next World Cup hostage.
You mean 2017 Grammys not 2016 because she’s only nominated in two categories for No Sleeep W/ J.Cole, In the Song and Record of the year Categories.
Yes! By next year’s Grammy’s, I was referring to 2017.
Did I just see Rita And Tinashe and Meghan Trainor???? I definately saw lana
.
Is it April fools already?
ULTIMATE DEATH AT THATGHETTO JUICE TROLLING WITH PEOPLES AVIS TO START WARS!!!you guys are so worthless. nasty trash…wouldnt even let my dog sh*t on yall smfh
What is a Rita ora ?
Is that the name of a person place or thing ?
Na …that’s the name of the s** s**** shipped into our glorious country as a surrogate to the little dreaded horror
Did ciaras team really submit flopackie for album of the year lmaooo the delusion is real and her team submited i flop and floping like were making love for song of the year and record of the year lmaooooo delusional as team
Another pressed ass b****
Buy your favs album hooooe
Where’s Kanye, Mr. Grammy’s collector at in these submissions? He probably doesn’t care about them anymore. I don’t blame him. He already has more than some artists will ever get to touch in their careers.
______________________________
I love Bjork, but why is she FOOLING herself and feeling confident enough to submit for the AOTY and ROTY categories? She KNOWS she won’t make the cut, receive those nominations, and definitely win. She should know better by now to not play around with hope and fate like that. That’s how some people get their feelings hurt
The fact that Bjork has never won a Grammy, after being nominated 13 times, should tell us how full of absolute $h!t the Grammys actually are. Bjork is the definition of original but they award the derivative year after year. It’s exhausting at this point.
Absolutely spoke the truth! Who the hell else can say that they recorded an Entire album with nothing but raw, unfiltered, untouched vocals that served as the main instrument for the project. That women used her own damn voice to create beats and instrumentals. Who else is that creative? Plus, the fact that she has hits for DAYS in the U.K. speaks her power and respect, even from Jay-Z, in the industry.

Kylie Minogue needs to be nominated for “Sexercize” because that song is everything. I’ll never forgive the Grammy’s for sleeping on “Impossible Princess” and the “X” album of hers too.
I feel the exact same way with Nas. Considered by many (including myself) the greatest rapper of all time and has what is considered by many (including myself) the greatest rap album of all time and has never won a Grammy. Absolute joke of a “prestigious” award ceremony
@Arianator Barb, Please speak it into existence, truth server! “Illmatic” SAVED Hip-Hop and breathed new LIFE into music lovers. That album was everything and more. It’s a shame that it only has 10 tracks, but please don’t get me started on that Caribbean-influenced masterpiece, “One Love”. Don’t make me do it. I won’t do it!
50% I aprove
.
BTW Taylor will be part of the voting Comitee
.
I hope it will be talent realises talent
Lmao
Did beyonces team really nominate that forgettable trash ring off? The delusions.
I’m still pressed “Lose Control” didn’t take off on the Hot 100 like it deserved to. I just hope she’s serious about her new music and comeback album.
Shut the hell up
.
Rihanna won’t win without Riding a rappers diick
.
Beyonce will buy hers
.
Aaliyah won’t win without a soul
Alot of kiiis
Not Caesars team nominating Jackoff for album of the year! The album was pure trash not to mention an epic flop. Plastic minaj nominating the struggle print as well kiiii a lot of jokes
Not Riw**** team nominating Barbadian Monoxide and the Dolly Parton reject!! By the way, where’s Keri’s submission?
Omf death cab for a cutie
“I Will Possess Your Heart” is a cute, modern classic. A great, subtle, college/coffeehouse rock song!
Best Pop Vocal Album:
Honeymoon OR
Every Open Eye PLEASE!!!!!!
Some people love E*MO*TION, so that one too (I haven’t heard anything but ‘Run Away With Me’)
Anything but that incredibly hackneyed “1989.” But we already know how this is going to turn out though. She’ll get it.
Nicki probably felt confident to make this many submissions now David’s on the comitee but I’m sure there are rules pertaining to how many times you can vote for the same person. Does anybody know.
Some of these artist representatives are reaching with these submissions lol. In other things, Jazmine definitely deserves a Grammy in the r&b category! I just don’t get why her team submitted “let it burn” instead of “forever don’t last” because that song has the best female r&b vocals of the year.
Where’s K.Michelle???? She released a solid album. Ciar a deserve to win for best R&B song. I bet is the only female R&B song to go gold this year.
OMG! She just might win that category. I really think she will considering what you just said. I’m calling a win for her! Congrats, Ciara!
i don’t like d’angelo’s album like that, but it’s probably going to win an award or two. that album is grammy material.
“The Charade” is so meaningful and funky. I love how he paired sad lyrics underneath a funky, under-produced groove. He knew EXACTLY what he intended to do by doing that…and I’m not mad at all. Honestly, either his album or Kendrick’s should win AOTY.
Omg I totally forgot Emotion…. I was anticipating that allbum
.
Better late than never
Ok i’m too obsesed with this site I’ll see ya’ll in Dec

TOODLES
I miss when we had real stars … The Grammy will look like a total joke .
I don’t believe this list for the fact that Ciara submitted her album Jackie to be nominated for “Album Of The Year”. Yeah right!
How is that Mary J. Blige’s London Sessions is not on the list? Oh Please with all that other stuff!
London sessions was a tragedy, MJB ruined her artistry with that album. WTH was she thinking?
I’mma have to give a heavy side eye to some of these nomination submissions but congrats to these individuals.
Florence and the Machine
Bjork
Janet Jackson
Beyonce
Beck
Carrie Underwood
Kendrick Lamar
Drake
D’Angelo
Jill Scott

Tori Kelly.
So sick of seeing the same old names in everything & winning everything – it’s bizarre how the industry goes with “popular” over talent (tho i suppose you could argue that’s why it’s called “Pop” – but then I’d argue so what about the “music” bit ROFL)! Anyway, thank GOD Rap & Urban/RnB have their own special criteria or I’m pretty sure Swifty would win those too. Oh yes, she will “sweep the awards” no doubt. Whether or not she deserves to.
Nice to see a few criminally under-rated artists in the mix (eg Adam Lambert, tho I doubt he’ll get the nod he deserves). Also yay for Ed Sheeran, George Ezra & Demi Lovato.
ADAM LAMBERT
Yes! Best Pop Vocal Album for sure is “The Original High”!
Whenever he lays off the makeup, I swear I just wanna jump on his bones and get “Nasty” with him, but then I remember that he’s gay/bisexual (during the “For Your Entertainment” era). It’s not fair that man is so damn beautiful. I’m SURE he can turn straight men gay just by staring at them.
YES YES YES!
Do you Stan for Kacey Musgraves? If so, “Merry Go Round” is literally hands down the saddest country song I’ve ever heard. Her new album, “Pageant Material”, should represent the Country music option for the AOTY.
I’m ONLY here for the Janet nods and, not any of that other sh*t. Thank you & good night.
Why the C Scoops keep coming for Tinashe? Can the comprehen that Wackie only did 3K more than Aquarius? First album Vs 6th, year one Vs 11th year flopping in the game. Lol
Stonemilker (11months before) by bjork is the most beautiful song ever recorded. I Am thrilled it is being considered as song and record of the year as well as vulnicura for album of the ear! Bjork<3 so underated it's a crime
“Vulnicura” is a spellbinding album. It.is.brilliant. It absolutely deserves an album of the year nod. I encourage everyone to grab a pair a good headphones and indulge in its magic. Like you said, it is criminal how the Grammy academy has treated this truly iconoclastic artist.
Can you believe that she was with that man for 13+ years and he never married her? What type of foolishness and childish game is that? Well, if they never broke up, she would’ve never been able to create “Vulnicura”, so I guess it served its purpose well. Oh, and even though alot of people don’t like “Volta”, I love the fact that she stepped out of her comfort zone, which doesn’t even exist for her, and worked with Timbaland to create that gem, “Earth Intruders”. “Declare independence” is a bop too.
That title of the song alone will peak your interest and make you curious to listen to it and find out what the hell a “Stonemilker” is. She is the queen of intellectual stimulation. I love “Atom Dance” and it is a freaking crime that “Crystalline ” wasn’t nominated for a Grammy with those vivid, imagery-encouraging lyrics and infectious baseline, xylophone, glitch beat.
I confess my undying love for “Volta” and I don’t care who hears me say it! LOL
“Turrrrmooiil, Carnaaaaaaage” 😀
Best vocal of this generation is Adam Lambert! I want to see Adam Lambert win Best Pop Vocal Album for “The Original High”.
Lmao @ ring off lol & 7/11.
CICI!!
JANET!!!
TYRESE!!!
I would absolutely love to see “The Original High” get that nomination or even win that award. However, we ALL know Taylor is getting that award. She is just so overrated. Doesn’t have an original bone in her body.
I wonder if “Currents” will get one of those AOTY spots?
Good to see Jamzine, Miguel, Tyrese, and D’Angelo–very good albums.
One word JAZMINE!
I’m just in my feelings because Omarion had a really GREAT contemporary urban album.
He should’ve had his label/team submit his album. Some artists don’t know how/when to submit, and some just don’t care about Grammy’s.
ADAM LAMBERT for Best Pop Vocal Performance AT LEAST! Let’s be real..NO ONE today has a better voice. Period.And his new album The Original High is awesome.I think I’ll scream if I see the same old names nominated this year. The awards have all become boring and predictable, in my opinion.
ONIKA!!!!!
Come Through Tory Kelly! I believe she has Best new artist in the bag… and Ciara has some pretty good chances, believe it or not… She may snatch 1 or 2…. Dont gag when it happens girls
hahahahahaha, Jackie for Album of the Year. They wasted their energy submitting that in.
this low is ok but they are missing someone and that’s K Michelle….her last album #AWBAH was the billboards best selling RnB album of 2104 and received high praise by the critics so yea Someone needs to go back to the drawing board….
This is just a short list right? She will definitely be on the complete list I’m sure. I was bumping “Going Under” this morning. 😀
Jazmine Sullivan – “Reality Show”
&
Florence + The Machine – “How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful”
Were both solid albums start to finish and not a filler in either of them! Been repeating both non stop all year!!!
May the REAL Artists Win 2016!
JAZMINE SULLIVAN R&B ALBUM
When it dropped on January 9th I said it better win a Grammy. “Reality Show” is a dope album–period. She deserves this.
The R&B song submissions are great! These categories are always better than the pop categories anyway. So are the alternative rock categories.
In terms of the Pop Vocal submissions, Adam, Florence, Chvrches, Lana, and Mark Ronson would be a great category. There’s a certain “someone” who will be nominated (and win) and make the category basic though.
Awww shout outs to Monica, Jazmine Sullivan, Tyrese, Jill Scott, Tori Kelly and well done to CiCi.
Hopefully Janet and Tamar albums not forgotten next year as quality works on them.
I hate to tell everyone this, but the grammy’s will be dominated by Mark Ronson “Uptown Funk”. So none of our faves will be checked for unfortunately FYI.
Death at Lana submitting High By The Beach
I’ll just be happy with her getting a nomination out of left field like she did with Paradise.
She and Interscope need to do better after being stupid and submitting UV to Pop Vocal instead of Alternative last year where she had a legitimate chance at winning.
And LMAO at Disclosure submitting to Pop Vocal. Jamie XX has Dance/Electronic Album on lock now, I think. Also hope CHVRCHES get in for Best New Artist.
You know I would love it if our girl Lana could get best pop vocal for “Honeymoon” but it just looks unlikely. *sigh*
Best New Artist- Chvrches or FKA twigs I would be very happy with.
& you’re right about Jamie XX, he’s getting it. I loved that album.
Forgot to mention Twigs, she was totally snubbed last year. Mess.
Like I said, Lana could come in out of nowhere like she did with Honeymoon, but it looks unlikely. And Jamie XX is a lock unless they b******* in this category and give it to Jack Ü, but based on last year’s results I’m sure Jamie is winning.
Hope Sufjan Stevens wins Alt Album! His label is dumb for not submitting to AOTY since they always put in some random indie/folk/alt act every year (last year it was Beck). This year it would’ve been down to him and Alabama Shakes for that spot. Most acclaimed album of the year after TPAB.
They better not try it with Jack Ü but this IS the Grammys that we are talking about so it’s certainly not beyond them. LOL!
Great pick with the Sufjan Stevens album. I think he will definitely be up against Tame Impala’s “Currents.” Gotta be honest, I like it (Currents) but I don’t love it. I can’t wait to see this category.
This was the category last year:
Alt-J – This Is All Yours
Arcade Fire – Reflektor
Cage the Elephant – Melophobia
Jack White – Lazaretto
St. Vincent- St. Vincent
If only the AOTY category could match this quality every year.
Yes, Alt Album, the one category that isn’t a popularity contest (or else Alt-J/Arcade Fire would’ve beat St. Vincent last year). This year is shaping up to be:
Sufjan Stevens – Carrie & Lowell
Tame Impala – Currents
Bjork – Vulnicura
Courtney Barnett – Sometimes I Sit And Think…(etc)
Father John Misty – I Love You, Honeybear (I think this was submitted)
These are the five big “acclaimed” indie albums this year in the US. If it was up to me I would replace Courtney with Depression Cherry by Beach House; I find her overrated (Didn’t help that Sirius XMU played her music every 10 minutes all spring/summer).
I cannot put into words how much I love “Depression Cherry.” I can’t even listen to the new album (WTH) yet because I’m simply not done digesting DC yet.
The category you listed for Alt-album is phucking brilliant! I haven’t heard the Courtney Burnett record yet but the other 4 are definitely worthy. Either of them could win and I would be totally satisfied.
I hope they don’t disappoint us too much. I’ll see you here at nomination time to vent any frustration. 😀
What the doodoo is Ring Off doing anywhere on the Grammy list? And this is coming from a bey fan. Lets not even get on to ciara ‘s submissions…
Adina Howard submitted her latest single “Bad 4 Me.” Not sure if it’s in the R&B Performance of Traditional R&B Performance category.
https://mobile.twitter.com/adinahoward/status/634461119994728448
Interesting. That you don’t mention all the indie artists that made the ballot as well like Melissa B . She is up for three considerations
1 Best new artist
2. Best pop solo performance
3. Song of the year
She just performed at Carneige Hall with to great Grammy members. You should see her video Maria that’s up for consideration. It’s for all the women in the world .
I dont see Madonnas name on expected names and I dont know whay with a Tour running right now and in only the first 9 presentations 25 millions . Madonna still rule so dont forget to put her name on that list.
There’s a lot of submissions missing. This page needs to be updated. Everything can be found here.

Tamar Braxton deserves to be nominated and win for her song if I don’t have you.
That song has great quality and vocals
