I could name like 250+ other artists that should be nominated, but don't have a snowball's chance in getting nominated because there isn't enough appeal or critical acclaim.

I AM SOO PISSED! im gawnn even gawnnn watch THE GRAMMY next year unleas RIRI PERFORMS

Oh well, Rated R is one of the best albums I've ever purchased. Loud is just as good, & no Rated R would mean no Loud, because she made a huge leap forward artistically with Rated R & Loud continues the growth that was so obvious on Rated R. I hope that album may get more Grammy love.

She had an amazing year and TD is a great album, she deserves the nomination.

No one's buying The Fame anymore.

There is no Fame Deluxe. Only The Fame Monster Deluxe.

Thinking about it now, Rated R hasn't done anything for Rihanna.

I mean, I really love it, but Loud could have been half Loud / half Rated R.

Rated R haven't won let alone get nominated for anything [In any award this year] (Neither the singles), wasn't commercially successful, underperformed, the general public didn't like it...

I mean, if the album or one of the singles were nominated or won at least one Grammy, that would make Rated R a worthy era.

Meh, you stans are a mess

How about good reviews and a #1 song?

It's isn't great, it's just ok. soldier of love, thank me later, rated r are much better.

It has always been a mess so I'm not surprise they always get UN orginal nominees and winners
how sad is the 'most important' award show.

but Rihanna? seriously thank she's nominated with eminem Grammy's love to nominate flops but... Katy is awful but she deserve it way more.

Don't pay attention to Rudeboy and his non sense

he is becoming worse than RihannaFan i guess the fact that Rihanna cant stop wearing Fur is still affecting him!

also Rihanna wasn't a compleat flop so mayabe that why they didn't nominate her let's say she's a 'Major artist' so that's why Grmay's is about to promote 'new' no ones, plus sorry but her latest album and songs were compleatly AWFUL
Grammy's will be even worst if they nominate her belive me.
plus that bitch needs a break not because she's overrated because she's not many places don't even know about her lastes albums
but I'm saying because to release album each year since 2006? is just wayyy too much

take a REAL break and then made a REAL comeback.

It's sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide, which is a success in my eyes. It didn't underperform, it just didn't have blockbuster sales like GGGB did. Critics loved this album a lot more than GGGB, I saw many four & five star reviews for it online, in magazines, etc.

One single nomination would make the era "worthy"? I personally don't think it's a big deal the songs weren't nominated, & the era was "worthy" because it gave people a new & more in-depth perspective of her & the album is excellent from the first to last track.

You did not say that.



I know.
It should have been nominated for ROTY but Gaga has 6 nominations so I can't really get that pissed. But I'm still disappointed. It's even worse than last year.

The Grammy's have been questionable these lat few years. I'm only really here for the rap/R&B categories, but Aguilera was really ROBBED of the pop vocal nomination..."You Lost Me" is easily one of the best vocal performances of the year in my opinion.

I'm pleasantly surprised that one of my favorite R&B songs of 2010 was nominated...(Fantasia's "Bittersweet")
