Aww congrats to Rihanna, Jay-Z, and Kanye West. "Run This Town" was one of the hottest songs of the year THEY BETTER WIN lol! I was hoping "Russian Roulette" would get a nomination but unfortunately it missed the deadline, hope she gets one next year.

After Rihanna's vocals improve in live performances, she is going to make a collaboration with Beyonce.

HEY ANYBODY OUTSIDE THE HAMMERSTEIN BALLROOM?
Comment by BBQ — December 2, 2009 @ 7:06 pm
aww I thought Live Your Life would be nominated! Anyway, congratulations Rihanna and the other artists who have been nominated!
Comment by Woahx3 — December 2, 2009 @ 8:36 pm
Congrats to Jay, Kanye and Rih. I hope they win in their category.
Comment by jjj — December 2, 2009 @ 9:13 pm
SMH @ "Best I Ever Had" being nominated. Songs like that aren't worthy to be nominated! In my opinion.
Comment by jjj — December 2, 2009 @ 9:15 pm
Congrats to her. I was thinkin' of live your life but run this town is a good song.
Comment by STAY REAL, STAY HARD — December 2, 2009 @ 9:20 pm
Cherry you idiot…. Rihanna won 3 AMAs for favorite female artist in pop once and rnb twice. She won 3 billboard awards in 2006. She has 3 NRJ awards. She's won 4 teen choice awards, 2 world music awards, and a frickin grammy. Damn get off her parts and those are just the big awards.
Comment by KayB33 — December 2, 2009 @ 9:26 pm
Woo shes so gunna WIN
Comment by chrisstiaan88 — December 3, 2009 @ 5:27 am
Cherry, she will get a grammy for both of those awards if she wins. Just like Jay-Z got a grammy when she won Umbrella because he was on it.
Comment by Dani — December 2, 2009 @ 9:45 pm
@Cherry She has won numerous awards where she was a solo artist. She won for SoS, take a bow, disturbia etc. know facts before you speak otherwise you look stupid.
Comment by Motherlizard — December 2, 2009 @ 9:48 pm
Congratulations Rihanna. I think you have this in the bag.
Comment by Motherlizard — December 2, 2009 @ 9:49 pm
@Cherry
Take your shade elsewhere. The song was originally Rihanna's song, which is why she has a writing credit and is featured so prominently on it.
Comment by TakeABow2 — December 2, 2009 @ 10:27 pm
Wow thats awesome i never knew that Rihanna wrote her verses. Good job girl
Comment by Tanice — December 2, 2009 @ 11:30 pm
IT IS JAYZ'S SONG NOT HERS SO HOW CAN "SHE" WIN
Comment by Ebony — December 3, 2009 @ 1:33 am
Just fyi to people concerned about Rated R not being nominated, the deadline for Grammy nominations is August 31 of 2009, so Rated R is not elgible for 2010.
She will be eligble for the 2011 Grammys!

@ebony
Girl lol that is what I said. They clowned Kanye West in an article on Entertainment Weekly's website saying he really got 1 nomination. And 5 from other people's songs. I doubt Rihanna will even be there. I'd be happy to see Rihanna all by herself with a nomination in 2011.

lmao..i got all yall mad
Comment by cherry — December 3, 2009 @ 6:32 am
Ebony stop hating. Its a Jay Z song but but the caregory is called Rap/sung collaboration so Rihanna contributed and will get a Grammy of her own if it wins same way Jay Z got one for Umbrella
