Favorite Male Artist – Soul / R&B
Favorite Female Artist – Soul / R&B (H-Town Bey, I love you but no mam. )
Please?
Co sign 100% . The music industry is such garbage now & this “New generation” is even worse. Nothing more to say…
beyonce cd came out how long ago. I swear, she is ALWAYS nominated. Which it total BULLISH.
Beyonceé keep ya’ll mad.
Anyways, Love on Top was the most successful female R&B song of 2012 spending 7 weeks at #1 on the R&B charts and 4 is the 6th best selling R&B album this year therefore Beyoncé was eligible for her nomination since the AMAs base their nomination off of chart success.
Congrats B!
I forgot to add that Thriller was nominated 2 years in a row at the AMAs.
flop that flop won best soul/rnb album.. a mess
Hold up, wait a minute. TTT is a soul/r&b album? the music industry ain’t shit.
Talk that talk won? Best soul/R&B album? And she was nominated for best female R&B/soul artist? But……………….ok see this is why award shows truly ain’t shit!!!!
