If anyone here thinks Rob is going to win over Chris Brown please put down your pipe. Chris Brown for years was the industry golden child when he was dubbed the "16 year old phenom". Look At Me Now was a beast.....is it as quality as any of the songs on LL? Naw....but The Grammys are about as legit in 2012 as buying ocean front property in Arizona. Robs album is a epic masterpiece that I love a great deal. From the intro to the last track.....I am caught up in its rapture.

Truth be told....I have said this in the past.....when it comes to these award shows Rob has become old news. Usher is the next man on the totem pole for being "OLD" in the R&B game. If Chris's next album Fortune is as good as FAME he will breath way more life into his career.

Deep in my heart I don't feel the Grammys are about the music as much as they are a industry coy to sell more albums of a hot artist. Why is it one artist always sweeps with tons of awards? While others only get one? Is there really only one or two good albums a year?



FLIPSIDE:

If Rob wins a grammy this will be more than amazing as it will launch him back into mainstream media. His main issue is his lack of acceptability to the public. Just saying GRAMMY AWARD WINNING will sell more albums. This would just really be unreal. But you're telling me he hasn't had grammy material since IBICF? Cmon !!! Why didn't happy people win a grammy? Why Didn't choc factory win? Cmon....

I know we ALL are rooting for rob here!!! So lets hope he gets another shine on his crown

Time will tell....

Happy People/U Saved Me should have definitely won.

Great to hear about the nominations. Hope he wins at least one this time.

Best R&B album is being televised apparently

He just lost Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance to Ceelo Green...

I think that just sums the Grammys up by that decision! ... Best TRADITIONAL R&B Vocals and Ceelo Green beats R Kelly!????? ... its laughable & easy to see why Kells didnt attend

Different year, same shit.

Rebecca Black is in attendance, I think that in itself shows what they have become.

Chris Brown will probably win the R&B album award, they just go to the 'in' artist at the moment.

Snooki too...

I think Chris might win, as well. They're televising Best R&B Album this year and he's performing on the show. So it seems kind of fixed... Idk. I'm still going to remain optimistic. Maybe, Kellz will win.

Cee-loo beat R.Kelly my goodness gracious you have a guy who stuffs himself beating a man who works his butt off to keep R@B alive pathetic thats blasphemy man.
