Chloe x Halle’s nonstop performances since June have been exactly what they needed to be competitive at the Grammys next year

I’m not sure if they’ll be able to beat out After Hours in best progressive R&B album, but I hope so! I’m expecting them to at least take best R&B performance for Do It.

Ledisi’s doing a Nina Simone tribute on PBS a few days after noms are announced. I hope she finally gets her Grammy this year.

Ledisi is coming for Traditional R&B 👏🏾

If there’s any category she could win it’s that one. Featuring PJ Morton on “Anything For You” was a smart decision. He’s the new ‘it’ GRAMMY artist in R&B.

Honey, I can see an “Anything For You” snub in Best Traditional R&B Performance.  Ledisi will NOT be winning a damn thing.

I don’t think they can win over Ledisi/PJ Morton, but if the hype is there they can Jerome-themselves a win.
