I did not see a thread for R&B Performance

Toni Braxton, “Long As I Live”
The Carters, “Summer”
Lalah Hathaway, “Y O Y”
H.E.R., “Best Part [ft. Daniel Caesar]”
PJ Morton, “First Began”

Will this be a fight among The Carters, Toni Braxton and Lalah Hathaway?

H.E.R. vs Lalah

If Toni steals some votes from Lalah(veteran female solo artist just like her), H.E.R. wins easily. I don’t see the Carters winning and I don’t even know PJ Morton, so…

Summer is definitely not Grammy worthy. I think H.E.R might win several grammys this year. The fact that she made it to the TOP20 to be nominated for AoTY shows a decent support among the academy.

PJ Morton has been a member of Maroon 5 since 2012.

Honey, Daniel Caeser/H.E.R. is NOT winning here.  It’s between Toni Braxton and Lalah Hathaway.  Legend vs. R&B darling.

I want Toni to win but I think Best Part is the song to beat. I also wouldnt be disappointed if SUMMER wins here and Miguel wins Urban Contemp album. SUMMER >> Everything Is Love.

“Best Part” is taking this.

“Best Part” by Album of the Year nominee H.E.R. deserves to win. But will it??? Is there a chance voters are going to just checkmark vote for Beyonce and Jay-Z???

Additionally, Lalah Hathaway has won Grammys 4 out of the past 5 years (only once in this category though). They clearly REALLY like her… but I feel like she has been over-awarded.

There isn’t a strong contender like in the last 4 years. “Best Part” is technically the biggest “hit” as well. But The Carters are the biggest artists nominated.

The thing about The Carters is that when they’re undeniable, they’re undeniable. However, when there’s another strong option, they easily lose.

“Summer” is such an afterthought track, whereas “Best Part” is definitely known well enough, even if you don’t know the artists.

The Carters will win Urban Contemporary because their competition is much weaker there, but here one of the Urban AC smashes will win, and “Best Part” just fits the bill the most.

Beyonce has lost over 40 Grammys- she is not Adele! Best Part is probably taking it

Also, “Y O Y” is definitely not great as “Something,” which deserved its win in hindsight. That won’t win either.

I like how everyone said that Best Part is H.E.R.’s song when in reality its Daniel Caesar’s song. H.E.R. is just the featured artist on the song.
