Another snub for Ciara and Kelly Rowland smh Rihanna shouldn’t be there smh and wtf Ghetto.Michelle? ugh We all know Beyonce will win.
Anyways happy for Iggy and Jhene oh and death at Whora getting a nomination.
How when Rihanna had a bigger album and hits than both? Even on the urban charts. I am shock that Pop artist are on this, the lines really are blurred.
Cause her album is much older then Ciara so we already know they are only nominating her off her name shes been clinging for features in 2013 and 2014.
The category is technically called R&B/Pop artist.
But its not best album, it’s best artist. And Rihanna had bigger hits, solo and features than Ciara and Nowhereland. I do agree that Ciara should be nom, but not over Rihanna. Pour It Up and Loveee Song both were huge hits last year, bigger than Body Party.
Ermm Ghetto Michelle’s album sold more then Kelly and Ciara’s though. VSOP was one of the best R&B songs released last year.
Ok and? Keyshia coles woman to woman outsold Tamar and K.Michelle album but she isn’t nominated.
That’s because Keyshia’s album was released 2 years ago.
Rihanna album is just as old and shes nominated so save that shitt.

congrats bey 🙂 i love you
Aint nobody worried bout these nominations…. who is performing???
Dead at Beyonce posting that pic of her and Rihanna on IG. girl make a statement.
Dead at you following beyoncé on Instagram
Um why wouldn’t I? She’s a celebrity i needa get my tea from the thief itself.
Kiiiii ^
What else is new…this is always the Beyonce Entertainment Awards
girl no
Let the Stan war begin……….predictable ass website
Bey 😀 I think she’ll win 1 atleast
Its just an EBT award calm down.
I’m calm, happy for Bey for whatever success she’s getting … You?
Congrats to Chris Brown on that much-deserved Video of the Year nomination for “Fine China”! That visual slayed!
No shade but k Michelle sold more than Ciara, so that’s probably why she’s nominated. Congrats to ritA!
Who asked you tho?
does it matter she still spoke the truth,wtf is u so damn pressed,just cause girl scouts sell more cookies than cicis albums
so obsessed with me i see.
I want to say that we need to hold this award show up there with at least the VMAs. Quit calling Black award shows ghetto, but get mad when the white awards don’t show recognition.
come on just once can j.cole win,he is REAL hip pop and relaterble,he speaks about life situations and not what hip pop has become..hope bey ,zendaya,jhene and iggy get sumthang,ari too…totally of topic…i wish i could have a three way with drake and j cole,they hottttt.
The EBT awards turn into a bigger and bigger joke with each year. How the hell is partition nominated for video of the year when it flopped smdh
Who cares about the EBT awards
M***** z and whaleonce love publicity I’m sure they’ll be there
f*** the bet awards just another excuse to gather a whole bunch of n****** in one room
love ur name
yeah and if u wanna play the race card ill drag your ass to hell and back
SMH
IDIOT!!!!
Lost respect for these awards last year its obviously a popularity contest basic roc nation h*** gettin nominated for doing nothing i cannot.
The BET/EBT awards are trash and no one takes them serious. They even got Rita Whora nominated for an award, her team probably paying for it. I can’t…
Peep this new vid
http://youtu.be/9Eg-nk-AdVI
Does anybody take these awards seriously expect the H.IV+ f****???
Only the hive & barbs care because it caters to the ghetto and uneducated.
at least our faves have a chance at winning something,i love gaga but when basic hoz like katy beat her at awards u know whats up
Katy may beat her at the kids choice awards but not the Grammys 🙂
Death @cake
Lmao draaaaaag!!!!!!!
hard to take lil monsters seriously when katy dragged gaga off the chart top too.id like to dedicate my personal fav song titled when ur hero falls from grace to u guys..its a description of the fame to artpop…love gaga but yall needa stop
But aren’t you a little monster F***?
iam but ive been a beyhive since i was like 3..beys my day 1 and id drag any1 for her
Congrats to Jhene though I doubt she’ll win both awards. She has the best chance at winning the Centric Award. If anything this will just bring more interest to her music and expand her fan base. Hopefully she’ll perform. I’m surprised Sevyn Streeter didn’t get anything.
omg,drake,j.cole,kendrick and pharell in the same room,id bang either one of them in a heart beat..
wow you are a classless s***.
im a s*** for being honest? i would bang either one of them esp drake & cole in a 3sum…id ride em like a pony…
Yawn at the best new artist category!!!
Did anyone else notice there were no black women nominated in new artist category even those SEVYN Streeter had number one song and ZENDAYA had a platinum single??? #SAD
Also, why is Keke getting nominated in young star category? She is 21 years old!! There are other young blk child stars out there but BET nominating committee is too lazy to find out who they are
A lot of people already know that the EBT awards are a joke.
Whats a ria ora?
Iggy take that award from Icki the barbz will have a meltdown kiiiii
BET always snubs fantasia.
Who?
awwww,and i just wanna cry seeing my babe chris up there..he better no i love him & ill vote my asz off for him….#freeBreezy
Crying over a n**** who doesn’t know you yall sad.
yah iam so what be your point,im more than just a stan..my faves bring me more hope and joy than anyone so…
Breezy who?
its chris breezy,u know the guy whos career managed to outlive gagas..btw shocked u dont know chris but know gaga…low class
its chris breezy,u know the guy whos career managed to outlive gagas 3 seconds
Gaga has done more then the crack headed woman abuser could ever.
Gaga has had more hits than breezy excluding
The number he did on Rihanna
Yaaas Team Beat Me fan ki
Why is Chris Brown only worth 24 million and Gaga worth 190 million Lmao Gaga shitting on his gay ass.
lets me no start the brit meltdown story,i mean u call cb an abuser when ya fav did the rehab stunt too.and chris depended mostly on talent and not gimmicks to get to the top…the circus makes millions too and btw,they left town without gaga
Imagine if Iggy snatches that award from Nicki
barbs won’t know what to do hasn’t Nicki won that same award 6 times in a row.
Exactly!
TeamJhene TeamAriana TeamIggy lets go.
I thought Fruitvale station was older and already nominated?
Why are BET Awards “irrelevant”? Because they’re black?
Basically 🙂
The EBT awards is just so ghetto. The awards are a joke. People selling their EBT cards to get into that cheap ass show. Real talent isn’t even recognized at the show anyways, just the same people getting awards.
How are they ghetto? They have shitted on the MTV Awards over the past few years!!!
Yawnnnn! Bet awards. I thought body party was a classic? Where is ciara. Please stop saying that her name gets her nominations, because they will not include you if they dont feel you deserve it. Ciara worked hard for a month with promo, then stopped! Blame your fave for not being nominated, not rihanna.
When real urban artist like Fantasia, Kelly Rowland, Sage Gemini or Clara get snubbed because of popularity matter, then you can tell this award is complete trash and goes against the image they are trying to portray “We are all about uplifting Black people that don’t get enough credits by the world”…
It doesn’t matter how much they sell, matter of fact your job is to give that recognization so people give them the credits they deserve. Stop the foolery BET
Yaaas!!!!
Those were all talented people. I agree to an extent. But what have they accomplished as of lately, or even last year? I dont believe any of those women deserve any recognition because they havent achieved any musical fetes last year or this year. Thats inside and outside of the music industry.
breezy,dreezy and jermaine..my precious lil babies…i so voting
dead at you getting dragged by Gaga stans.
first off i am a gaga stan its even in my name and second of all,im not shocked uve been here a while.u should find out if they hiring at kfc so u can afford more cece albums so we can see her on blogs again
So death at the fan base you’re apart of having no respect for you hahaha. Biitch you are the weakest link goodbye #ImAboveYou
if u dont have respect for miley,1D,biebs,iggy,ariana and 5sos then ill drag u..and u wanna say u are above me when u troll every post..byotch stfu
I will always be above a pathetic as bum biitch like yourself now go fetch my Starbucks n*****.
starbuck??? i suggested kfc but if u insist on starbuck then u can go get a job there too.
Not IT recycling lovebirds old drag and saying go apply to KFC. Unoriginal just like its fave(s)
I can never understand BET nominations
Rihanna EmnEm monster no nomination for best collaboration
BET is a joke for some of those snubs !
oh and congrats ICON too (I only just noticed she’s nominated)
And by ICON im sure you reffering to rihanna.
yeh .. any problem?
Yass bish yass. Queen Minaj is there:)
How da phuck did August Alsina got a best collaboration nomination and the most iconic duet of 2013 (the monster) didnt? smdh.
Exactly . But in sure it’ll rack up awards on CREDIBLE shows
Irrelevant.
i don’t remember a bet awards without beyonce being nominated..
First off congrats to jhene aiko for nominated hopefully she wins and secondly why is charli Baltimore nominated ???? I mean dont get me wrong ima fan of hers but she aint put out shiiit since forever besides like 2 songs !!!! Any who I just wanna know who performing. Only person I wanna see hit dat stage is jhene,drake,iggy,and maybe jlo
So why isn’t Erica Campbell in the “Best New Artist” category? Because she’s gospel? She should be there. BET has same nominees every year and they are late on Ariana Grande – she should’ve been in the category last year for “best new artist” – hell, she about to release her second album. Good the BET awards hold no weight.
Exactly…. and why wasn’t Sevyn Streeter and Zendaya nominated for best new artist??
NO BLACK WOMEN IN THE BEST NEW ARTIST category at BET. We need to boycott this sellout wannabe mess.
Sevyn Streeter def should have been in the BEST NEW ARTIST Category! 26 million views on YouTube, Certified Gold Record, #1 Song for 11 weeks straight, etc, etc,
I will be tuning in for sure. I’m excited to see which of these nominees will actually show up. http://yousicworld.com/site/bets-2014-nominations-aim-for-starpower/
I cant at these FLOP awards!!! Shading my fav again! and Not when Jhene gets nominated for that EP, but my fav had the huger hit!
POLITICS!! I cant…. Congrats to everyone else, And glad to see atleast Future being nominated, But he’s in a category with JayZ…….. WE ALL KNOW HOW THESE AWARDS WILL BE HANDED OUT!!!
No shade to Bey or Rih or anybody for that matter, Im just sick of the constant shade my fave gets! And how little work her people do for her.
I cant at the EBT awards!
I may not even watch this year, They are steady canceling shows left to right anyway to make budget for their trash network!
id you know that the marriage of this music couple started out as a business arrangement? However, after a few years of living together, raising child/ren, and commingling money and careers, the lines got blurred and everything started feeling very personal.
You already know that they fight with great passion when the cameras aren’t on them. Well, let’s talk about the biggest topic of those arguments: the women with whom he’s been sleeping!
While we can’t namecheck every girl he’s ever had (because there have been a lot), we can tell you about some of the celebrities who are especially irritating to the Wife, as well as the cause of a great many arguments in their household.
1. This Blonde European Singer has only been in the business a couple of years, but she has been sleeping her way to the top from the beginning. She will do anything to get noticed, including hooking up with reality stars. It’s working for her, too. The Husband is completely enamoured with her, and their affair is ongoing.
THAT IS KARMA FOR TRYING TO END RIH RIH career.
@MOLLY
I agree with you sis, But I bet Ciara wont even show up! I hope she doesnt…. She wll be enjoying MotherHood and working on that new album HOPEFULLY!
RITA ORA DISSES BEYONC EBEHIND HER BACK? CALLING BEYONCE TRASH? LOL AT THESE WHITE GIRLS
This Foreign-Born Singer was mentored by the Husband. Those mentoring sessions were about more than music. The funny thing is that FBS constantly calls the Wife “Trash” behind her back… and the Wife calls FBS “Trash” behind her back.
3. This Snobby Blonde Actress was besties with Wife for about five minutes. However, she soon moved on to become intimate with the Husband. The Wife now barely tolerates SBA.
Although the Wife knows that these women were involved with her Husband – and they fight about them all the time in private – she is very much in control of her image, and would never think of badmouthing any of them in public.
But she might do it very subtly in a song.

My fav got them high ratings last year for stepping foot on their raggedy stage, and yet they want to shade my fav!!!
I just cannot!
Hopefully Beyonce shows up to their flop carpet or the show ratings wont be enough to pay Brandy’s paycheck on “The Flop”
How is Ciara not nominated tho? Even tho her album flopped , Body Parts was a really good RnB song… She should have gotten at least 2 nominations for “Best RnB female”,and/or “Im out” best collab.. just for recognition, even if she doesnt win. Same with Brandy.. “Put it Down” was a really good collab too. I dont get it.
But anyways, BET hasn’t been shitt, since 2006, when Beyonce last performed “Deja Vu”. That was one of the best rated years, because of Bey and the nomination card was great back in the days. But now it’s a joke..
* Waits for real award shows like Grammys, Billboard Awards,and MTV’s *
Ciara’s lack of of noms surprised (and upset) me for a bit but then I realized that maybe’s she’s to blame. She didn’t push her material enough, I guess. That’s sad because that album was fire. Everything about the BET Awards just seems political these days. Bey’s multiple noms are actually justified now, lol. She had no business getting any noms last year. However, she SLAYED with BEYONCE and deserves to win at least half of her nominations. @Metzo is so right. The last time the BET Awards REALLY made sense were from 2006 – 2008. I remember Bey’s performance of Deja Vu in ’06 that I honestly feel is one of her best televised performances. Ciara gave a memorable showing in ’07 with Like a Boy and That’s Right (mama tore that stage up) and Bey also gave us Get Me Bodied. 2008 was also great and gave us Usher’s comeback in addition to Chris Brown and Ciara’s performance of Take You Down #iconic.
Congrats to Jhene Aiko though. Good to see her gaining some recognition. I call Pharrell for best R&B/Pop. Best collabo should go to Blurred Lines. I would like Cole to win Best Hip-Hop male but Kendrick might take it home. Iggy might carry Best Female Hip Hop. Video of the Year should be Worst Behaviour. Oh and serious props to CB for getting nominated for Best Director. That young man is troubled but you CANNOT deny his talent. Be it *singing, dancing, performing, writing and now directing music videos. All in all congrats to everyone but I can’t wait for them to announce the performances.
I hope jhene wins the centric awards and Zendaya wins the young stars awards. I’m pretty sure rihanna won’t win her category, but that’s fine .
Ciara, Keyshia, and Sevyn deserved nominations.
Best Gospel & Best Actress categories will be hot though!
I still dont think I will watch

Sevyn Streeter made her mark in the music industry the old-fashion way: She did radio, reached out to her fans on The K Michelle Tour, and her own College Tour. These efforts earned her a #1 hit for 11 weeks for the single, It Won’t Stop, which also had more than 25 millions hits on youtube. Sells for this record has helped to make it certified Gold! Ms. Streeter’s follow-up single, nEXt has over 3 million hits and moving up the charts daily. Both of these two records are off her acclaimed EP, Call Me Crazy, But….AND, SEVYN STREETER DOESN’T GET ANY RESPECT FROM BET! NOT ONE NOMINATION…WHERE ARE THE BLACK WOMEN IN THE BEST NEW ARTIST CATEGORY?
