I’m not going to bother making final predictions here since the R&B panel typically likes to be random and go their own way.

Just going to send out positive vibes and hope that the following 5 artists get some sort of Grammy love Tuesday:

Brandy
Summer Walker
Teyana Taylor
Jhené Aiko
Kehlani

I’m debating whether to have Toni Braxton “Gotta Move On” to my predictions. I guess I’ll just leave it out and then be pleasantly surprised when it makes it in on Tuesday.

Fantasia is usually a Traditional R&B Performance nominee. Maybe “Bad Girl” or whatever she submitted will get in.

R&B Album might be too stacked against Sketchbook. There wasn’t a lot of heat towards that project. It kind of came & went.

👑Cicely Tyson (1924-2021)
👑Mary Wilson (1944-2021)

I noticed that I didn’t really see PJ Morton nominated here unless he is credited with the “Anything for You” nomination with Ledisi.

I’m disappointed in the lack of nominations for Brandy. But at the end of day, her Verzus battle with Monica will go down in R&B history. 👏🏾

Not. A. Single. Nomination. For. Summer. Walker!?!

Beyoncé, sweetie, you did THAT. I’m not a huge fan of “Black Parade”/BIK. But this year, I won’t hate. Congrats Queen.

So glad I called Thundercat & “Better Than I Imagine”. 🙌🏾
