5 Grammy Nominations For Prince

[biglime]

I'm well pleased that my man got 5 nominations.

But look at this ridiculous category.

Best R&B Song:

* "Burn" - Usher

Bryan Michael Cox, Jermaine Dupri & Usher Raymond, songwriters

* "Call My Name" - Prince

Prince, songwriter

* "My Boo" - Usher & Alicia Keys

Jermaine Dupri, Alicia Keys, Usher Raymond, Manuel Seal & Adonis Shropshire, songwriters

* "Yeah!" - Usher Featuring Lil Jon & Ludacris

Chris Bridges, Sean Garrett, LaMarquis Jefferson, Robert McDowell, James Phillips, Jonathan Smith & Patrick J. Que Smith, songwriters

* "You Don't Know My Name" - Alicia Keys

Alicia Keys, Harold Lilly & Kanye West, songwriters

I recommend you all hunt down and listen to Call My Name. It kicks the arse of the rest of them.

And only one person wrote it. As opposed to Yeah!, which was written by....seven fucking people.

Well, no offense, but I think it's the most ridiculous point I ever heard when it comes to rate a song.

[Marzipan Travolta]

R&B is such a bullshit genre of music. That Usher album is awful for a start.

I didn't know Bryan Cox wrote R&B trax as well as killed X-Men though.

[Kelthink]

Kanye West got a fair few...(I've only skimmed the nominations list, but he appears to have at least 9)

Ban request: Prince love-in threads. 'Nuff to make you puke.

Prince is the muthafucking man! B)

I just would like to know how it takes seven people to write such a pile of shit.

Well if two more people contribute to this thread we'll find out.

At least they can blame each other.

Prince can't.

Edited for cuntiness.

I wouldn't say his album was awful, it's certainly his best so far. Admittedly that isn't saying a whole lot but it's a start.

It does annoy me, however, when people dismiss the entire genre just because 'j-kwon and 50 cent are for teh chavs' or something. There isn't a whole lot that's good at the moment but that doesn't mean everything's 'bullshit'.

I bet you're one of those people that refer to 'indie' and all that (i.e. everything they play on Vh2) as 'real music'.

R&B as it is today is a fucking abomination:

The only music to manage to be both bland and offensive.

Download Call My Name from somewhere.

Get some quality R&B Balladry from the master.

I'm sorry, but as much I Adore (geddit?) much of Prince's stuff, pretty much everything since Batman has been pretty poor. The icing on the cake was Chaos & Disorder, which is probably the worst album I own. For You through to Batman, with the possible exception of Controversy is all that anyone should judge him on IMO.

As for RnB What happened to Soul? WHere's today's Alex O'Neale/Luther Vandross/Aaron Hall/Ginuwine (sp?) What's with all these girls doing pointless vocal gymnastics to the same old beats and the same old tired 'booty-shakin' lyrics?

with the possible exception of Controversy

In it's defence Controversy has "Do Me Baby" and... er... that's it.
