Sats et al, let's talk about a more interesting Female category - R AND B.
Best R&B Female Vocal Performance Erykah Badu - Windowseat Fantasia - Bittersweet Alicia Keys - Unthinkable or Try Sleeping Janelle Monae - Cold War Monica - Everything to Me Sade - Soldier of Love
I *think* five of those six are making it. I think jazmine would be better served at submitting the remix with mary j as R&B Collabo w/Vocals - they could win. The only question is - which reality star is making it? Monica had the head start, but Fantasia's last three months have been hard to ignore.
Is there generally a bias against EPs? Even if they meet the length requirement?
I can't tell but there probably is since people would think a full LP is more deserving than EP although it gains more success. Lady Gaga is a domestic name but sweeping Grammys with an EP sounds bizarre and Grammy Awards gonna be criticized for sure.
