Posted December 7, 200618 yr Best Female R&B Vocal Performance (For a solo vocal performance. Singles or Tracks only.) Ring The Alarm Beyoncé Track from: B'Day [sony Urban Music/Columbia] Be Without You Mary J. Blige Track from: The Breakthrough [Geffen Records] Don't Forget About Us Mariah Carey Track from: The Emancipation Of Mimi (Ultra Platinum Edition) [island Records] Day Dreaming Natalie Cole Track from: Leavin' [Verve Records] I Am Not My Hair India.Arie Track from: Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship [Motown Records] I expect either Beyoncé or Mary J. to win this, probably Beyoncé since they repeatedly rape her every year. Best R&B Song (A Songwriter(s) Award. For Song Eligibility Guidelines see Category #3. (Artist names appear in parenthesis.) Singles or Tracks only.) Be Without You Johnta Austin, Mary J. Blige, Bryan-Michael Cox & Jason Perry, songwriters (Mary J. Blige) Track from: The Breakthrough [Geffen Records; Publishers: Chrysalis Music, Mary J. Blige Music, Naked Under My Clothes Music, Universal Music Corp., Babyboy's Little Publishing, Jason's Lyrics, Noontime South, Reach Global Tunes, WB Music.] Black Sweat Prince, songwriter (Prince) Track from: 3121 [universal Records; Publisher: Controversy Music.] Deja Vu Shawn Carter, Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, Beyoncé Knowles, Makeba, Keli Nicole Price & Delisha Thomas, songwriters (Beyoncé Featuring Jay-Z) [sony Urban Music/Columbia; Publishers: Beyoncé Publishing, EMI Blackwood Music, 23000 Music Publishing, Makeba Yoga Flames Music/Janice Combs Publishing/EMI Blackwood, Price Tag, EMI April Music/Carter Boys Publishing.] Don't Forget About Us Johnta Austin, Mariah Carey, Bryan-Michael Cox & Jermaine Dupri, songwriters (Mariah Carey) Track from: The Emancipation Of Mimi (Ultra Platinum Edition) [island Records; Publishers: Rye Songs, Shaniah Cymone Music, EMI April Music, Babyboy's Little Publishing Company, Noontime South, Naked Under My Clothes, Chrysalis Music.] I Am Not My Hair Drew Ramsey, Shannon Sanders & India Arie Simpson, songwriters (India.Arie) Track from: Testimony: Vol. 1, Life & Relationship [Motown Records; Publishers: Gold & Iron Music, Wang Out Music Sony, Combustion Windswept, Noka International/Famous Music.] I think Mary J. for this one, they surely wouldn't give a Grammy to one of the biggest flop singles of the year? :mellow: (Deja Vu) Incase people are wondering, the only reason why Don't Forget About Us is the only Mariah track to be nominated is because it wasn't on the original package of Mimi, the rest of Mimi is cut off by the date restrictions, however since DFAU appeared on the re-release it IS eligible this year. :funky: I don't expect her to win, but nice to be nominated! :D
December 7, 200618 yr Fantastic news. I was wondering about these nominations before I went out. She'll lose both to Blige though
December 7, 200618 yr Author Fantastic news. I was wondering about these nominations before I went out. She'll lose both to Blige though I agree, actually if I had to handpick someone for Mariah to lose to it would be Mary J so all is good in the hood. B)
December 7, 200618 yr Yeah 'Be Without You' is the only other song on that list I've bought so I can't complain too much. I think 'Don't Forget About Us' is the better of the two 'We Belong Together' knock-offs though
December 9, 200618 yr I'm not just gonna say this because Mariah's my favourite artist out of them, but for the vocal performance one.. she really does deserve it, her vocals on DFAU are really strong and her range is amazing. R n B song, I'd like Mariah to win, but if she doesn't then I hope Beyonce does becuase her song is more... r n b than DFAU in a way and it was a success in England so not a complete flop. It's my second all time favourite Beyonce song, so I'd like it to win :P
December 10, 200618 yr Well said. Mariah is the best vocalist of the bunch so she "should" win that one. She won't though because Mary J. is all ghetto and real. Bollocks.
December 10, 200618 yr :rofl: Tim. I love Mariah's vocals on DFAU too, and I think they are the best in that group. In that song, we have real vocal acrobatics - whisper, rap, belting notes, whistle, it has it all! But DFAU was released too long a go. Everyone is loving Mary J there at the moment, I wouldn't mind if she beat Mariah. BEYONCE better not win though -_-
December 11, 200618 yr Hope she does well :wub: she i see Mary J, swiping alot of awards, but i really like her too so :D
December 11, 200618 yr Me too, especially after she praised Mariah so much, bought her GH the other day ^_^
February 12, 200718 yr Author Both lost to MJB. -_- Well we knew it would happen so there's no great shock. ^_^
February 12, 200718 yr Shame, but it was obvious that Mary was going to win those categories. Gutted that Natasha Bedingfield lost out.
February 12, 200718 yr Author Natasha was never a front runner for the award unfortunately. I think Christina deserved it though.
February 12, 200718 yr Author Well she has 5, there's always room for more. :D Janet and Christina both have 5 too. ^_^
