Bias where’s “pretty girl” nomination for video
OMG @ “The “You Tried It/What Were You Thinking” Award” ???? Rihanna had three nominations lol
Lmao yesss.. But all three nominations are definately warranted. Anyone whose honest with themselves, stan or not, can acknowledge that rih has made some bad decisions this year concerning her return to music. She tried it when she decided to use Ffs as her comeback single, she tried it with that horrific American oxygen performance in March, and she tried it when she missed her opportunity to release by clearly having no direction for the longest time. The bad part about this entire album roll out, is that all of the messiness could have been avoided if she released mid year. She would’ve done fine. Music is artistry. You can’t TRY to be timeless. You’ll only end up being the opposite.
that category had me laughing so hard though- Jay z tidal, rihanna roll out. and then he had a Kelly rowland underated artist category and did not have a kelly rowland underated album award as well. The you tried it was really funny though.and then he says rihanna – vocals.
On a serious note, I think Jazmine Sullivan deserves the Kelly Rowland award; she is so under- appreciated its ridiculous… her voice deserves to be heard among the masses not to mention her ‘Reality Show’ album was Ace from start to finish. I didn’t need to skip any songs off that album.
not at Janet being snuck into all the categories
Bish this is a KiKi !!!!!
Lil’ Kim’s album is dropping in 2016. It is the nost anticipated album by a fenale rapper in history, but this site is Oinknika’s payroll, so Kim wasn’t nominated. Anyway, she’s still THE QUEEN BEE!!!
Death at these categories…… Btw I’m usually a spectator on this site but you filthy whores comments against King Aubrey King Nicki and King Bey are absolutely outrageous so be ready for some real dragging and slayage here for you. God bless
LMAOOO.
This has to be the most corny blog on the net.
Take these shįt awards elsewhere… Ain’t nobody care about this besides Rita Ora and Fluer East and desperate ass bottom stans! KIII.
In other news: Bey looks Gorgeous on her leaked Jan – Ellen cover, Adele could be at 6 million in the us this week and the whole world still can’t wait for anti!!! 😉

You forgot to mention the time when slay hive got dragged for filth by EL which ended in him claiming he will not come for Mariah anymore
hunny who hasnt dragged Slay_hive? even Skyfall, one of the nicest commentaters on tgj, was dragging it at the beginning of the year. LMAOOOOOO kiiiiii
This is so bias and lame. The hate on Rihanna and inclusion of Tranet? No wonder people dont visit this blog no more. Its so wack. kiii
Opp someone is mad, LOLOL. BTW, Rihanna learned everything she knows from Janet. So show some respect. bunglecunt.
#SorryNotSorry
Like it or not, Janet had one hell of a year.
When was the last yall had 100 comments? Even Rihanna threads are flopping. kiiii kiii
I’m surprised David has made a post on the record breaking pink print album which sold 3.3 million WW making it three times plat ???
The pink print ain’t no damn 3x platinum lol it only counts if it’s platinum in the US which it isn’t …Nicki be Lyin her ass off that would be big news look it up there’s no receipts
Your corny, biased awards, means doo doo squat!! Your site is falling apart. I recommend you hire some real journalist, who are neutral and professional. If you’re going to do some end of the year nominations, I suggest you try some real categories and not one’s that shades Artist. Kelly Rowland underrated artist is not real!! Stick to the basics. Just saying.
Monica needs to sneak in that underrated category.
She is respected in the game but after Code Red and hearing Anchor (a pop ballad that won’t see the light of day) she got to be underrated!!
LOL @ the ‘you tried it/what were you thinking’ award. I had to give that one to Meek Mill. Raven is too much of an attention w**** it’s like feeding a troll she gets off on controversy.
It’s really hard for me to pick between Adele and Bey like seriously.
Everyone, let’s work together to make Ciara the “Best Female” award/title receipient. She deserves it, even with all the loads of success the other five women have already accumulated.
Can there ever be something that doesn’t mention Beyonce!!!???this beyonce fan page frustrates me sometimes
No shade but why is Beyonce in the Best Female Section, she hasn’t released any new (Solo) music at all this year, I think putting in the running automatically stacks the deck against everyone else. Almost like the Grammys, AMAs, etc. What about Jill Scott or what that girl’s name… Tanashe? Just saying

These nominations are literally pathetic. I found myself unable to vote in some of the categories due to the lack of something at least decent in them.
These nominations are a ki
Why is Bobbi Kristina’s death and Rihanna’s album being put in the same category? This is beyond RIDICULOUS.
Here are my predictions of who will win, not necessarily who I WANT to win tho I mixed my favs in a few.

Anticipated Comeback: Frank Ocean
Active Fan base: Bey Hive
Winning At Life:
Janet’s Comeback
*Note* : Why does Beyonce’s Winning at life make her sound full of herself. It’s a bad look.Just saying.
1.) How does Beyonce being in that category make her look full of herself? She didn’t create it. Someone else decided to put her there.
2.) Frank Ocean for most anticipated comeback…Really?
OK. Let me clarify what I meant. There are other artist in that same category who could have had that been put by their name ( for bein themselves) but the way that her fanbase and blogs put it makes her image seem like a bit of an ego hog.Though that isn’t the image Beyonce puts out there of herself, sometimes that’s how it’s perceived and it was unnecessary because it wasn’t a real event or accomplisment like the other artist. They could have even mentioned how her re-release outsold brand new releases but they didn’t.
And to answer the second question, yes Frank Ocean. Why? Because Thus far Frank Ocean has yet to COMPLETELY solidify himself to his hype. Some of his music was good, his voice is nice, and his story is very different from all of the other male acts, but he has all but dissapeared from the face of the earth except tumblr. In short,I like his artistry, but he has more to prove and I anticipate it because his situation is a maker or a breaker for his career. Can he prove himself. I hope that answers your question. Merry Christmas BTW.
