It’s probably going to Melodic Rap. Or worse, Pop Duo.
Oh that’s true. When the Academy doesn’t know what category a song fits, then they just move it to Pop and Creepin’ could be this case.
Why nobody is predicting Stand Up by Jazmine Sullivan for Best Traditional R&B Performance and Best R&B Song?
ReplyCopy URLKill Bill is a crossover pop hit. It’s very competitive in the field. Depending on the lineup, Miley & Taylor might split votes and SZA can win. Nobody Gets Me wouldn’t even get nominated, let alone stand a chance at winning. SZA can definitely win Best R&B Performance with Snooze or even Blind. It’s not Best Traditional R&B Performance-y enough.
- Pop Solo Performance – Kill Bill
- R&B Performance – Snooze/Blind/Shirt
- Traditional R&B Performance – Gone Girl
- R&B Song – Blind or Snooze if RCA is brave enough
I do not think Low will be accepted in Best Melodic Rap Performance, just like HEATED last year. Beyoncé’s submission was placed in a different field yet she didn’t remove it despite having two songs in the ballot of a type A category.
ReplyCopy URLSZA is the only sure thing here. Having the year that she has had so far, she probably has a Pop Solo nom locked up too.
If I were Miguel and Chris Brown, I might think it wise to release new live or acoustic versions of their hits “Sure Thing” and “Under the Influence.” Both, but especially the later, would have a likely shot at scoring performance noms given that they are two of the biggest R&B hits of the year (despite not having been released this year).
ReplyCopy URLI would love to see Coco Jones get some love in the R&B field. Her What I Didn’t Tell You EP is great. I can definitely see her single ‘ICU’ getting into Performance and/or Song. It’s started gaining traction on TikTok so could be a hit.
Coco Jones & FLO both definitely deserve a BNA spot too!
