In reply to ? Jasmine’s Grape Juice ? ?.

I strongly disagree with that mentality or your idiotic assumption that you are the only one sho does work in the entertainment industry on this site.

Music is a business and in business nothing is fair! Do you think it was fair for India.Arie to lose 9 grammy nominated possible wins to Alicia Keys? No but...technically Alicia’s music sold more at the time. Same goes for Ari verses her competition. Don’t be so caught up in the artistry that you don’t see the business aspects. In this situation, if you want a Soul Train award your label and manager has to:

1. Campaign for you to have just as much public popularity as your competitors.

2. Buy the award for you.

3. Be willing to increase the amount you pay for the award if your competitors are already doing 2 and 3.

That is the hard reality of this situation.
