Bradley for me.

Yes i remember it was submitted to Pop Duo. I don’t know how they considered it as pop when it was very urban.

I wondered the same. I have a feeling she was submitted to Pop considering how the Grammys nominate Toni Braxton’s “Secrets” to pop than R&B. Velvet Rope if I’m not mistaken received only one nomination. Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for I Get Lonely. You can’t count “Got Til It’s Gone” because it only nominated (and won) for its music video.

Among the nominees that year, only Janet never win a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
Aretha has 11, Chaka has 3, Anita has 5 and Patti has 1. At least Whitney and Mariah managed to get one before the category got retired.

She lost her Best Female R&B Vocal nomination to Anita Baker’s Rapture and lost the Album of the Year.

I remember No Sleeep was submitted to Pop field instead of R&B field.

2001 was a great year for popular music. Even N*Sync’s “Pop” was snubbed for ROTY and Best Dance Recording.

Yes. It was horribly snubbed for ROTY. It only got one nomination for Best Dance Recording and won. All For You was everywhere during 2001 and Janet was even honored by MTV and performed the song.

I think Love Will Never Do sounds more pop than r&b. I agree with All For You for ROTY.

I think she should have nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for:

Together Again, Every Time and Runaway

Best Dance Recording for All Nite (Don’t Stop)

I don’t understand the win of “Don’t Look Back” by John Lee Hooker & Van Morrison over Tell Him, I Finally Found Someone or How Come How Long?

You think it was the result of vote splitting?

I remember it was the first category presented during the telecast. Beyonce wasn’t there to give speech because she was preparing for her performance.

The role of Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter films was for Helen McCrory (May she RIP) but was passed due to pregnancy. Enter Helena Bonham Carter and it was one of her iconic screen roles. McCrory later joined as Narcissa Malfoy.

Judi Dench had 8 minutes right? She mentioned that in her Oscar speech.

I agree about Blanchett. She can do it again. But there is one actress in my mind I want to be on that elite list: Margo Martindale.

I really want La Streep to do a horror film. Doesn’t matter if it’s an Oscar or popcorn material.

All Toni Braxton’s victory.

He got a bunch of nominations afterwards and won several Grammys. He’s been considered as a superstar in country music industry. The same with Jill Scott in R&B industry. The Grammys really made a mistake crowning Shelby Lynne that year. The nomination was enough in my opinion.
