I am, but that's a racial thing. It's difficult for a white person to get nominated in the R&B categories. Can't Hold Us Down is even more urban, and it got nominated in the same category the next year.
Then you have some R&B artists like Beyonce getting R&B nominations for a mostly pop album like I Am Sasha Fierce
Same with a song like Rehab, which if a sung by a black woman, would have been nominated in the R&B categories
Katy Perry or Kesha (who have like no urban in them at all) would never touch a song like that. A song like that is something a Mariah or Beyonce would do, not one of the pure pop acts.
Again, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the Grammys and Best Pop Video at the VMAs.
What do you think it is? A dance beat? An urban producer who only makes hip hop made that.
