Why? Because Beyonce didn't land a nomination? I'm sure the same 10 people who watched last year will watch this year.

[LC3]

LMAO...keep trying...haha. No, even when Bey was nominated and performed only 10 people tuned in so no I wasnt making a reference to Bey at all...Who's pressed? LMAO

Woo @ Memoirs getting album of the year nomination! Glad to know some people recognized the quality of the album.

[Kishi KCM]

I like the nominations, but Trey Songz gets NO nominations and Jamie Foxx does? Puh-leaze!

[sdot23]

Jamie Foxx deserved his nominations. What song of Trey's should've gotten a nomination over Blame It? None.

[Kishi KCM]

^ Disagree.

[shaq91]

This is tonight!!!! Whose gonna watch??

[shaq91]

Keri won Best New Artist!!!! YAY!!!

[Mike]

This has been a pretty good show so far. Jill Scott is all over the place right now though. The woman that song before with the six-seven backup singers was FIERCE. She knocked it out.

[shaq91]
