Who's talking Grammy's? For Best Pop Vocals? Are ya'll kidding? Hahahaha. She's been nominated for that award several times already, so it isn't exactly an impossible notion. Besides, now that Britney's a hot commodity again, the Grammy panel WILL nominate her for at least one of the major awards (she won't win, but that's a given). I wouldn't be surprised to see 'Circus' up for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Record of the Year, at the very minimum. Agreed. It won't be into she does an introspective piece of work that she will actually be a genuine contender. She was nominated for BOMT, OIDA, Overprotected, and Toxic WIN! Minus-BOMT the other songs are pretty much autotune friendly and overproduced (not in a bad way). Her being in again will garner her a nomination with Circus hopefully. At least if she were nominated for Circus it won't seem as pretentious because her vocals are good without too much overproduction.

Disagree completely with most of what's being said, but fair play. Guess we'll see.

I think she can get nominated for Pop Album, Dance Recording and Pop Female Vocal but not the general categories.

Britney is not going to get a nomination in the pop vocal categories. Her best bet is to go for the dance categories that is her best shot at both a nomination and a win. "Womanizer" is the strongest choice for a dance grammy. Britney hasn't gotten a grammy nomination in the pop field since 02' and that's because her vocal performances are much weaker then they were back in 02'.

Like I said b4 its not necessarily how good the vocals are but the song being a pop song 'with vocals', thats how they separate it from other categories.
But Britney should definitely submit in the dance categories, especially if theres not much competition.

Can't Britney nominate one song to the Dance Vocal and one to the Pop Vocal? Mariah did it in 2005 with WBT going to R&B and ILT going to Pop.

Overprotected was nominated in that category right. Maybe I'm wrong. If i am right, Circus has stronger vocals than that song. I agree about the dance category. It would be great if she were nominated in the other categories, too. It is not as though she will win in those categories but it just would be nice.

They should send Circus for Pop & Womanizer for Dance & Generals. She isn't going to get any general nominations, but some Dance nominations would be great.

Overprotected is easily one of Britney's strongest vocal performances in terms of strength and power. That is the last time Britney ever really belted in a song. So no Circus does not have stronger vocals then Overprotected does. Overprotected is a much more challenging song to sing then Circus is. The only notable thing about Circus is that she hits the low notes well.

Pop Vocal Perf. isn't necessarily how good the vocals are, It states a pop song WITH vocals. Circus could perfectly fit in there, it definitely shows an improvement(?). But she should submit to Best Dance Recording, Best Dance Album, and then the general nominations like Best Pop Vocal Album and Performance.
I think many people will be happy by just her being nominated and being noticed once again by the Grammys, although they are full of shit nowadays.

The cut off is on August 31, 2009.
It is a month earlier than usual.
It also bodes well for Britney since the earlier deadline means lesser competition.
Don't underestimate the musical ingenuity behind If U Seek Amy. A lot of critics are praising its unique word play.

I think she could get a few Grammy noms in the pop categories, just not the BIG ones like Record of the Year/Song of the Year/etc. I could be wrong though.

I doubt if circus or wmnzr will be qualified for song of the year or record of the year where we know the judges were as old as our trees in the backyard

I think "Womanizer" is the only song that may get some Grammy love this era. It should clean up in the dance categories.

So no Circus does not have stronger vocals then Overprotected does. Overprotected is a much more challenging song to sing then Circus is. The only notable thing about Circus is that she hits the low notes well. Overprotected is easily one of my top 3 britney singles from her ever. However, the song is completely nasally. I love the attitude in the song but I love the attitude in Circus as well. Attitude does not necessary equal strength and power. I mean she doesn't even sing the worlds am, me, and don't right (which I kinda like) but by no means do I believe that the "strength and power" is notable. The chorus is the strongest part and of course she is helped by background vocals. IMO Circus the chorus is strong but the verses are pretty clear for a britney song. Overprotected would be a more challenging song to sing considered how overproduced it is. Circus is produced just enough. By no means, am I saying that Circus has her strongest vocals. I would think that out of her three singles here Womanizer would get love from dance categories but if she were even nominated for a pop vocal Circus might be her best out of the three.

You know that as long as Beyonce or Gaga are nominated she will clean up in those dance categories and Kelly or Pink might take it for the pop vocals. I just would like to see her respected enough for the Grammy's again. It's been a while...

I think her vocals on 'Circus' are much better than those on 'Overprotected'. Anyway, like others have said, the vocal categories aren't necessarily about which artist has the best voice; they're about which SONG is the best.

Britney doesn't deserve a Best Female Pop Vocal Performance award for any song released from Circus imo; I'd like to see her garner a Record Of The Year nomination for Womanizer though.
