Hi Guys!! Please Check our our new music forum

Where the f*** is sza
The guys really owned the year. That r and b female category is so late tho. The same names all of the time…. Where is SZA?
Kehlani??? Sza deserved!
Beyonce should not be in that category with Kehlani, SZA definitely deserves to be in the category and maybe some other R&B girl like HER. Rihanna makes a little bit of sense give Wild Thoughts, but they could’ve gotten a different 2 females.
Rihanna Beyonce chainsmokers are so last year…yawn
Ugh Rihanna ain’t rnb
lol neither is bugyonce lol
Rea Srummerd is not a NEW artist PERIOD!!! That nomination should’ve went to Sza or Cardi B
Why are Beyonce, Rihanna & Khelani nominated and why aren’t SZA & Cardi B. nominated for anything?
Typical. Once again, Rihanna scores more nominations but tgj spotlights beyonce in the headline. The ass kissing & over hype of that woman is not a game here.
rihanna been in jail cuz she the one kicking slap gragged chris nuts.
That didn’t even make sense, so just shut up.
Lies, lies and more lies. How long are Chris brown fans going to make excuses for what he did to her and Karrechu Tran after her?
How is SZA not nominated for best new artist?!? This show is annoying! If it’s about sales, she has a platinum single, and a Gold album. I’m confused..
Let’s go Beyoncé & Bruno Mars!!
lol who? I know bruno but whats that other thing? lol
Someone who sells more albums than everyone else on the nominees list.
2017 Has been one of the worst music years in recent memory. Other than Kendrick nothing’s been spectacular.
Beyonce and Rihanna rule this industry when it comes to awards, for th females.. Rihanna got a mom for pop rock and rb artist
Beyonce sold 200,000 albums this year so why wouldn’t she be nominated.. no other rnb girl has sold that much
They only nominated bey bcuz they want the beyhive to watch lol
And rihanna ass is smokin a blunt shes like yall better wait til next year….
The AMAs got to be the worst awards show ever!
the nominations are always so random, so delusional
AND boring asf ……
Why is Beyonce & Rihanna nominated for anything you ask? Because of ratings!
–
Award shows are trash they only added them to make people think that they’re going to show up to the show and as well for social media buzz because Kehlani for sure ain’t winning it. They’re going to give Beyonce the award to make her fans tweet about the show.
