Ledisi deserved all THREE of her nominations so let's not act as if she stole anything from a 9-time winner. That said, I do think both Thick of It and U+Me would've been fine contenders and her album definitely deserved a nomination over Musiq's. However, I'm sure her and her team are more focused on getting her to the Oscars vs. winning more Grammys at this time.

This album was subpar. She really didn’t deserve a nomination based on her name alone. I haven’t loved an album of hers since Growing Pains.

Higher is better than both of those records. lol

Mary has got her 9 ones already. Complaining that she was left out because of Ledisi (what does not make sense to me) is quite unfair. Ledisi has been putting great music out for a long time now, but she hasn't won even ONE Grammy. If it is her time, let her shine.
Also, HIGH is great.

Sometimes I really love it and can play it all the way through, but then there are times where it feels like there some was disconnect with Mary & the material, as I thought it'd be some kinda landmark album for her.

Considering the premise behind it and the talented involved, it turned out rather basic.

And whatever happened to the documentary being released? My sister was able to see it at some festival spot right before a full-length concert.
Still jamming to "Suitcase" from that same year.

If Mary wins I would totally be here for her horrifying acceptance speech. Watching Mary get discombobulated with public speaking is comedy gold.

Someone's sucking on lemons on a Monday, I see. #gowithGod
I saw Mudbound last night in full (tried to watch it the other week but fell asleep) but...DAMN, what a powerful movie. Mary wasn't my favorite but she did a good job! Proud of her!
