Is Marsha even eligible? Shouldn't her nominations and albums with Floetry make her ineligible?

i think she's ineligible. But did she ever win? Remember they changed the rules.

Im loving Chris brown this era so i will do my predictions for him. i see him getting a lot of love this era for some odd reason.

Chris Brown

Best R&B Performance - No BS/ She Aint You
Best R&B Album - F.A.M.E
Best Rap Performance - Look At me Now (LOCK!!)
Best Pop Solo Performance - Beautiful People
Best Dance Recording - yeah 3x
Song Of The Year - Beautiful People
record of the year - Look At me Now
Album of The year - F.A.M.E

8 submissions 1-4 nominations

You've got the Pop and Dance submissions backwards. Pop Radio would have to start playing Beautiful People for it to make sense for him to be submitted there. Benny Benassi is a NAME in Dance music, Beautiful People will be submitted there. I don't think it will be nominated, though.

I think he'll get 2-4 nominations, with one probable win in Rap/Sung (even though I still haven't heard the song.)

As long as she never a) won, and b) was never nominated for anything SOLO (like a writing credit(, she's good. Lauryn won BNA after winning a Grammy with the Fugees, because they won for a cover.

1. Jessie J

1. Wiz Khalifa

Yeah I agree with these two having a very high chance of getting a nom along with Nicki but Wiz moreso than Jessie. Jessie might need to make more of her spotlight to make her a lock. When can nominations no longer be submitted?

I dont think Look At me Now is Rap/Sung since Busta, Weezy and Chris all had rap verses on it. And yeah I think I got Dance and pop mixed up lol. if he was to get a rap/sung nod it would be for My Last with him and Big Sean.

Jessie J ain't gettin' nominated...end of

[RatedG²]

Now if Cole was on X-factor, she might have gotten nominated, but that isn't the case anymore. Nicole Scherzinger's new song is taking off on radio, will she be nominated?

YESS!! OMG i forgot about him. I see him getting in for Goblins as an upset to Lupe and Wiz Khalifa for best Rap Album. Plus I think miguel will get a lot of love in R&B and getting a BNA nod. I aslo think Frank Ocean could be an upset too for best R&B performance for Novacane.

You're acting like a lot of men will get in for R&B Solo Performance. 3 of the 5 nominees are already set in stone (whatever Bey decides to submit there, Far Away, Where You At).

In fact, in terms of gender makeup - how do you all see these combined categories shaking down?

Pop Solo - 3 women, 2 men. (If they don't go for Paul Simon, then 4 women, 1 man.)

R&B Performance - I would honestly be surprised if it wasn't overwhelmingly female.

Country Solo - the only combined category that will be majority male, methinks.

Roman and Wolf in the same nomination I wouldnt be able to watch.

What makes ya'll think Jesse J (or Wiz) will be nominated in BNA?
I see those slots going to Tinie or Ellie before them.

She could get 2 dance nominations in Dance Album and Dance Recording (Till the World Ends).

Also Ace, i think u are forgetting about Christina perri.

So my full list is:
Tinie Tempah (brit)
Nicki Minaj (Rap heavyweight)
Christina Perri (Big pop voice)
The band Perry (country group)
Miguel (R&B crooner)

This is trolling.

And if Price Tag, which actually went Top 30, probably isn't getting nominated ... do I have to finish the sentence.

She was nominated for R&B Song in 2003.

I actually think that of all the Brit chances this year, Ellie has the strongest one. She reminds me of Florence (not in terms of talent, of course.)

And I always forget Christina Perri - she just lifts right out. She'll probably get a BNA nod to lessen the sting of her being ignored everywhere else.

The grammys need to make an official statement and give us back our female and Male vocal slots. At least for R&B and Country. Pop can stay with 1 category since majority of postars are female nowadays. R&B got the biggest hit. they could have at least left Urban/alternative then. if they add back Gender categories for R&B and Country the categories will now be 80. Which is more attractive than the weird "78"

I hope Ellie gets something, but I won't say anymore, so I don't come off as bias.
I caught between whether or not Miguel's gonna be the RnB rep in BNA, or Marsha.
