thoughts? yeah, bullshit!
Wow….some of these nominations are….yea
whelp….look like i wont be watching that BS as usual. They nominated some people just to fill the category. Grammy need to start recognizing indie artists and the whole underground talent because thats where the REAL artists of this generation are.
Congrats Xtina for your 2 noms.. My bitch didnt do shit and still got more noms than others.
Hahaha
This officially proves that bey got her previous grammys because of Matthew. Oh how the mighty have fallen. This is better than having a number 1 album. I’m dragging all night. I told y’all 4 underperformed. No one is awarding bey because of her name and daddy anymore.
Adele will probably get the most. Rihanna will get at least 2. The bey stans on my timeline are acting a fool right now. Beyonce tried to create the r&b version of 21 and got snubbed.
Lmfao
What two are those? Adele is going to clean her clock unless the grammys are going for another “outrage and disgust” letter plastered on a full page in the NY Times. I’m sure they don’t want none of that this year.
HAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH oh I can hardly wait to see how the Beyonce fans react to their beloved Grammy AWARDS! LOUD > 4 ! FUCK YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS
Beyonce now has 44 nominations, the second most nominated female artist in Grammy history, behind Dolly Parton, with 45.
Im glad Chris Brown got some nominations! i doubt he wins any ;-( but glad he got 3 noms…….. #leggo
@heather i think he’ll probably win for Best R&B album
Man! Some of these nominations are expected and others are just like…WTF?! Lol! Typical Grammys!
Loud for AOTY?!?! #JokeOfTheDay Adele will wn that one for sure! We all know she is gonna sweep the Grammy’s slay for sure!
No Miguel?!?! Damn!! He deserved something!
Trey keeps getting snubbed! Like damn, the lil bit of shine that he got when CB fell off is gone! This is the second year in a row he wasn’t nominated! #OhWell
’4′ was TOTALLY snubbed! This is like her second best album of her career! SMH!
I’m happy for Chris! Hopefully he will take one home this year! He deserved it. *shrugs*
Congrats to Ledisi for Pieces Of Me nominations
Yes, congrats to X-tina for her nominations.
Wtf at some of the R&B nominations? ¬_¬
“Motivation” got ONE nomination? The most successful song on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop songs by a female artist this year
ok…as a chris brown stan i will dance cuz he has 3 nominations…BUT WHERE THE FUCK MY BEAUTIFUL DARK TWISTED FANTASY? why are there only 2 nominations: songs of the year (All Of The Lights) and BesT Rap Album…this album have been nominated for Album Of The Year. Sorry, MBDTF is better than Loud. and of all songs from 4 why Party? why not I Was Here? 4 was a good album. why wasn’t it nominated for best R&B album?…anyways, Adele is gonna need a army tank to carry her grammys out in february. She’ll be the big winner of the night with no doubt. Congrats to everyone
I’m surprised Jill Scott was not nominated and Miguel should have been nominated as well. I don’t know if I will watch this year…..
Rihanna and vocals mentioned in the same sentence is just hilarious. Her stans can make fun of Beyonce’s dry lacefront, Adele’s weight & GaGa being a Tranny but fact still remains all 3 of them have more talent in their pubic hairs than Rihanna has. You will always see Rihanna stand dragging on twitter because of her #1 singles but never will you ever see them calling her more talented than anyone because they know better. LMAO I hope Adele wins all that she’s nominated for 21 slayed this year.
Def agree w/ Adele’s nominations, just one look at this video at you’ll see why she deserves this —->>> http://bit.ly/ugoeEw

Yes for Adele, she totally deserves her noms. I’m not fond of my girl Jill Scott not being nominated for anything. The Light of the Sun is R&B gold. I’m glad that El Debarge is nominated because Second Chance is the joint.
Funny how some of yall have a problem with LOUD being nominated but probably can’t name 2 singles off the Foo Fighters album .. Smh .. Yall danced to Only Girl and What’s My Name at the clubs, yet God forbid it got nominated for an award! .. #Hypocrisy
