Yep, I take back what I said. Daniel Caesar isn’t getting any nominations this year.

On a general note, the Urban Contemporary category is going to be incredibly competitive this year.

Its not impossible, but I have a feeling the R&B Category won’t take well to a live album. I think Before I Let Go has a chance at a song nomination though.

Lalah Hathaway recently won R&B Album with a live album. If Beyoncé gets the nomination, she will be competitive for a win.

Daniel Caesar isn’t getting a nomination. His comments have really turned people against him, which is a dumb move on his part considering he isn’t even big enough to survive a backlash like that.

R&B panel is usually hot and cold when it comes to Beyoncé but if Homecoming gets nominated in either R&B Album or Urban Contemporary, she can very well win. Sales are a driving force for the win in the latter category and Khalid would be the frontrunner for that. But Homecoming received absolute raves (the album itself). Lizzo poses a threat as well.

Does anyone know if “Lovely Day” by Jose James & Lalah Hathaway qualifies for the Grammy this year?

What about anything else by either of the two artists?

Lovely Day/Lean On Me were released before the eligibility period. I looked around and didn’t find anything that would qualify for either of them

Lucky Daye deserves some recognition. Painted is one of the best albums of the year.

Lucky Daye is getting lots of buzz. He’s this year’s Daniel Caesar.

Speaking of Daniel Caesar, I don’t think he will be cancelled. I think he could still land a nomination or two this year. Artists say and do stupid shit all the time, and they still get Grammy recognition.

Daniel Caesar’s album was a non-event commercially, and wasn’t received well critically (even by his own standards). A nomination wouldn’t be impossible, but it’s unlikely.

I feel like Daniel’s best chance at a nomination is his song with Brandy.

How ya’ll feel about Monica’s chances with “Commitment” Its a Decent vocal. She should have won for “Everything To Me” and Still Standing” back in the day.

Lucky Daye has been popping up all over the place lately. I hope it’s not too little too late for him because his effort produced a very strong R&B album. He had lots of standouts but not sure about the marketing push. Sad to say, but I think he could have benefitted immensely with having a high profile collab (like Drake) or remix to one of his songs. He needed more exposure.

Sadly he may join a LONG LONG list of artists that should have been nominated in the R&B field.

R&B name checking and rubber stamping is out of control these last 10 years
