This category is so weird. I wanna predict “Kiss It Better,” but “Lake by the Ocean” is the most R&B thing here, and it’s great written song.

I don’t want to overestimate Rihanna in the R&B field, and I think Maxwell should win.

Flip a coin. “Lake By The Ocean” for the win, I guess.

I’m so disappointed in how trash this category is this year. I know this is Maxwell’s only nomination, but “Kiss It Better” deserves the win the most and I think it has a fair shot at the win. Given wins in the last few years for “Drunk in Love” and “Pusher Love Girl,” it’s clear that voters don’t mind taking a detour away from more traditional R&B leaning tracks. Last year, “Really Love” won but it had an ROTY nomination on its side and all the tracks nominated for R&B Song last year were traditional in nature, so there was nothing to really steer the course.

Gonna go against my gut instinct (which says to play it safe & predict Maxwell) and go with Rihanna for the win. I won’t be surprised at all by a Maxwell win, though.

SHOULD WIN: “Kiss It Better”
WILL WIN: “Kiss It Better”
NEXT IN LINE: “Lake By The Ocean”

I love the R&B nominations. Whoever wins this will win by a few votes, imo. My prediction goes to Kiss It Better with Lake By The Ocean being a close 2nd

i think Maxwell can prevail here like Miguel winning over Usher some years ago.

When Miguel won, no Usher was nominated. Usher won R&B Performance over Miguel that same year.

“Come and See Me,” “Exchange,” and “Luv” have no chance. It boils down to “Kiss It Better” and “Lake By the Ocean.” Rihanna will win elsewhere. Maxwell is a veteran that’s been under-rewarded. This is the only category that voters can vote for him. NARAS likes to play catch-up.

SHOULD WIN: “Lake By The Ocean”
WILL WIN: “Lake By The Ocean”

I don’t think any of the R&B wins will come as a shocker to anyone.

i must disagree. as an Urban song, ok. but as a R&B song, Lake By the Ocean is better.

Honey, “Kiss It Better” is rather awful. It’s just as terrible as “Work” and “Needed Me.”

“Kiss It Better” is a great song. And ‘Anti’ is honestly Rihanna’s best album to date. Glad NARAS saw fit to recognize her.
