I’ve never heard of Blxst but considering how well he did in nominations at the soul train awards I think he’s a safe bet for a nomination. Noticeably missing is good days, it also missed the amas. It’s possible she might only get nominated for Kiss me more. Especially when there’s no committee to give Jacob C. a Best R&B Song nomination. I think Wild Side is getting a best music video nomination. All signs are pointing in that direction. I’d be happy with that as long as it gets in somewhere.

Normani ft Cardi B - Wild Side (ROTY, Best Music Video, R&B Song/Performance)

So the Lauryn Hill song is indeed a new song and it was composed by her and another producer. Based off of the tweet that Roc Nation made I’m assuming it will be pushed. The snippet also sounds amazing. The only thing hindering it is that Lauryn is very reclusive and has been for a very long time and I doubt that she’ll play the game or campaign. But I do think she’s in the race now, even if she’s just in the top 15 so far, and if Netflix plays their cards right, I think she and/or JAY-Z will get the nom.

With Finneas in play I have a feeling this will be an Esperanza Spaulding type of year. I truly think she won that year because of vote splitting. And I think there’s definitely gonna be some vote splitting between Olivia, TKL, and Finneas.

Idk how Dawn Richards is eligible..wouldn’t that make Normani eligible? I’m gonna guess it’s because Dawn hasn’t had a huge breakout year and some could say Normani had a huge year in 2019 with Dancing with a Stranger and motivation.

Anyway idk why Tems isn’t a topic of discussion in BNA. She had a huge year. Collaborating with Drake on CLB, which could give her an AOTY nom. And featuring on essence by Wizkid with Justin Bieber on the remix. She’s bound to be nominated for both or one of those projects so why isn’t she apart of the discussion here?

I don’t think Giveon will make it into AOTY on his own. I could be wrong because this is The Grammys after all but H.E.R. and Jazmine Sullivan seem like the biggest R&B competitors this year. And when you add in Doja. It’s really hard to see how he comes into play…BUT let’s not forget the new AOTY rule where almost anyone involved with an album gets nominated. And Justice and CLB could both easily be nominated. So he could get around 6/7 nominations(8 if I’m wrong and all three are nominated)

Normani receiving a nomination before an album debut would be indicative of the support she’s garnered within industry circles. However, I’m not holding my breath just yet. “Wild Side” is a good song but it didn’t meet the expectations some placed prior to the release. Also, Normani has been snubbed before with much bigger hits. I’ll always root for her but I wouldn’t be surprised if she & Cardi miss.

Her snubs in the past were probably circumstantial. For instance love lies was submitted to R&B instead of pop. When the song went #1 on pop radio, so submitting it to R&B made no sense. And dancing with a Stranger was likely due to the fact that the Grammys didn’t care to nominate Sam Smith(a voter actually told someone I know this). As for motivation it was fairly new, and was submitted to pop solo during a highly competitive year.

The difference with Wild Side is that it’s likely being submitted to the right category, With the right collaborator(Cardi B), And is one of the biggest R&B songs eligible.

Jennifer Hudson is paying tribute to Carole King at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony with a performance. This could be a huge boost for them.

The Grammys are so unpredictable in that category, but considering both Normani and Cardi B have tons of industry support, and that urban leaning songs tend to do well in that category, it’s not a crazy theory . I also just did some research and a lot of Best Music Video nominees tend to get nominated at the UK music Video Awards, and Wild Side is currently nominated for one. I didn’t see many EMA nominees who also got the Grammy nom but the ones I did see tend to have won the Grammy. So the odds are in Wild Side’s favor.

I think Jazmine Sullivan needs to find a way to stay visible during the voting period if she wants to win. She could win against H.E.R. In R&B Album and against Silk Sonic in Traditional R&B but she has to do strategic campaigning. Because H.E.R. is coming off of an Oscar win and Silk Sonic’s album is dropping during the voting period. But Jazmine has the narrative and the acclaim. So IMO if she plays her cards right she could walk away with two Grammys.

Kacey is campaigning for that AOTY nom!

I can definitely see Kacey getting into AOTY. The submission backlash could benefit her, as well as her having support from the country field and the pop field.

I stated in the rap forum already that I believe Hurricane will win a few rap Grammys and get a ROTY nom and the HDD article just confirms that theory. The Grammys are gonna go out of their way to reward The Weeknd.

If they’re nominated I think these are the winners:

Best Rap Album: CLB – Drake
Best Rap Performance: Nobody – Nas ft Lauryn Hill
Best Melodic Rap performance: Hurricane – Kanye West ft The Weeknd & Lil Baby
Best Rap song: Hurricane – Kanye West ft The Weeknd & Lil Baby

For one if Drake submits they’ll want to give him something. And that would be the most obvious choice. Nas just won and had a narrative so that could rule him out for Best Rap Album but KD2 has been called the better album by critics. Which is why I think he’ll win performance because they’ll want to reward him for something so why not reward him, and Lauryn who turned in one of the best verses of her career. And then there’s hurricane which is simply not losing. I wouldn’t even be surprised if it gets a ROTY nom. Kanye just won a Grammy last year so clearly there’s still some respect for him. But the real reason it’s not gonna lose is because they will want to kiss The Weeknd’s ass with anything of his that gets submitted. And then you have lil baby who people thought should’ve won last year and is someone who gave a memorable performance last year. Hurricane just has everything working in its favor.

I wasn’t sure about the submissions but if that’s the case Giveon is definitely getting in for Heartbreak anniversary more than likely in Best R&B song. Performance could happen too but I don’t see him getting four nominations. And honestly I believe Peaches will get pop/duo and ROTY noms.

I’m a huge Lauryn Hill fan so I hope they campaign for her song from ‘The Harder They Fall’ to get a nomination. H.E.R. Is basically her musical daughter and won last year. So if the song is good I think she’ll have a good shot. Adult R&b artist tend to do good here. H.E.R., John legend/Common, Mary J Blige(nominated) etc

It would also be interesting if Jay Z got in for his song from the same movie along with Beyoncé. That would definitely be a good press story for the Oscars.

Jennifer Hudson can secure a nomination if she focuses her campaign on this song instead of her role imo.

Billie could get in but it’ll be purely based on who she is. The song doesn’t really have buzz anymore however if she starts performing it or campaigning I could still see her going all the way.

A lot of you are underestimating Wild Side, here’s why:

1. Heartbreak anniversary might not be eligible. It was released in earlier 2020. And a song from that ep and the ep itself got submitted which means the song was probably already submitted too. Also with the committee out H.E.R. Won’t sweep the R&b field nominations the way she usually does. It’s possible but I have a feeling her album will be what they focus on vs the singles.

2. Normani has a lot of industry support and Wild Side has gotten lots of support from celebs. Ariana Grande posted about, lizzo, Ciara, jojo, fka Twigs, Ashanti, etc have made tik toks to the song. Lil baby posted a story the other day on IG using a lyric from the song. With the committee out, it makes perfect sense that a song that has been lots of industry support gets in.

3. Wild side is a commercial hit. It peaked at number 14 on the bbhot100 which is higher than a lot of songs in contention. And it’s been slowly rising up the charts lately and taking off on radio and Tik Tok.

4. Cardi B. First WAP might not be eligible, and if it’s not then the focus will shift to UP but more than likely UP will get snubbed in the Rap field. Rumors isn’t doing too great, it could still get in but I don’t see it. Wild side is her best shot at a nomination outside of WAP. And if WAP is really ineligible the Grammys will definitely nominate her for something and this will probably be that something.

Idk about Best R&B song but I think it has potential for Best R&B performance. it also has potential for Best Music Video. The video director is having a breakout year. And “urban” leaning songs tend to do well there. With that said I think we’ll have to wait until the soul train nominations to see who will most likely get nominated. Either way it’s bound to be tons of women getting nominated this year which is a step up from last year.
