Beyonce's Suspicious Grammy Nomination
So the 2009 Grammy Nominations came out yesterday right? What was the most surprising nomination was Beyonce being nominated in the "Best Female R&B Vocal Performance" category for "Me Myself and I" from her "The Beyonce Live Experience" live audio DVD. Now I really thought my eyes were deceiving me but apparently not. I really thought Beyonce would get nominated but not in this capacity. This was truly a wasted space in my opinion. I would of expected her to be nominated for newest album but it missed the Grammy deadline. But Grammy has its favorites. They are certain artists that will always be nominated and will always win too even when you think they are more qualifying people for the award. Anyway I think any other number for females and songs could of replaced the Beyonce entry. Here is the complete list for that said category.

Video: Nelly - One & Only
The 48th single from Nelly's "Brass Knuckles" album.
Its surprising how hard Nelly has fallen off. Nelly was once a rap powerhouse who's albums sold in the millions. Now he can barely sell 200,000 copies. I guess he simply has to dust hisself off and try again. I will say it is not easy to be gone for four years and come back. You really have to reinvent yourself and remind us why we liked you from the start. And 4 years is an eternity in the music industry. With R&B/Hip-Hop being so trendy, things are constantly changing.
