A$AP Rocky deserves some consideration for Best Male Artist. Check out Live.Love.A$AP. Hands down the best rap mixtape of 2011.

EDIT: Would Tony Bennett count for BMA since he released that Duets album this year?

Solo act.

I've decided Bon Iver is a solo act. Because Best Male SUCKS.

i knw she was born there but she still gets awards for being a Latina and whatnot.

So you say 6PM tomorrow - in that timezone, is it 6.13 right now?

Yep.

OMG @ me asking so much questions but...

Pitbull is international right?

No.

Let's go over the contenders for Best Female:

Beyoncé
Lady Gaga
St. Vincent
Tori Amos
Demi Lovato
Selena Gomez + the Scene (who are we kidding?)
Miranda Lambert
Kelly Rowland (waste of a vote to be honest)
Lana Del Ray (she's going to make it past the first round, isn't she? Le sigh)
Kreayshawn
Azealia Banks
Sara Evans (never)
Reba (right?)
Ledisi (I'm imagining?)
Lauren Alaina
Christina Perri?
Rye Rye?
Dominique Unique Young?
Sabi?

This category is really ratchet. I need help - and if I need help, we all do.

Speaking of mixtapes, can we nominate hip-hop artists who've only released mixtapes this year?

Yep!

[D/X]

Best Pop
Best Country
Best Urban
Best Alternative/Independent
Best Rock

These are singles or, for example, Best Pop Artist, Best Country Artist... ?

I'm trying to think of Best Album contenders, by US-only acts. There are two obvious ones, but the other one is hard.

I must admit, I'm a little bit lost. So in everything except the album, single and video categories we should just be nominating the artists, correct? And for the first five categories, we should only be including Americans?

Yep! You got it!

Going through the American categories, I suddenly have a lot of empathy for the BET nominating committee. This feels really ratchet and pathetic.

Wait, I forgot Jill Scott! Let me Spotify that right quick.

Kelly Clarkson, too. But that's the only other one I can think of.

I'm hesitant to put Lana in the Best Female category because she only released two songs.

Am I allowed to say what I'm nominating?

I want to nominate TCIV but a lot of people thought it was awful, I think contrary. I'm trying to nominate based on what the ATRLers would want

Is LDR international or not? She was born in NY but lives in London now

Thanks. I must put my **** together to get my choices ASAP.

Anyone needing to fill out the Best Album (U.S.) should check out tUnE-yArDs ... and oh yeah, she should go in Best Female, too considering that's Merril Garbus pseudonym.

And I'm not sure where she's from, but My Brightest Diamond should be considered, too. She's worked with Sufjan in the past (most recently on "Impossible Soul"). And her new album is beautiful.

Well, Bieber lives in ATL but unfortunately remains Canadian.
