It's sad that Rated R didn't get any nominations but I hope they give her the "Dance Recording" Grammy!!! Rihanna needs to start having writing input in songs she features on so she can get the Grammys for them!!!:-*

Rihanna should have been nominated for her work for R Rated
Album Of The Year-R Rated
Best Pop Album-R Rated
Song of the Year-Rude Boy
Best RapRNB Collaboration-Hard

At least she got nominated for something, Alicia Keys got NOTHING!

Comment by TK-75523 — December 2, 2010 @ 10:28 am
why she isn't nominated for "Best vocal performence" or something else? ONLY BEST DANCING??? Such a joke. Rihanna really got someone in the jury that doesnt like her at all. LOL
Comment by loves riri — December 2, 2010 @ 10:34 am
i dont see the need to mention this here :|
Comment by Fiyah ★★★★★ — December 2, 2010 @ 10:42 am
I'm disappointed but not very much, the Grammys jumped the shark long ago – Rihanna has too much things doing to worry about them and their wonky awards
Comment by Fiyah ★★★★★ — December 2, 2010 @ 10:50 am
uhh her vocals arent all that great, very pretty girl thou & nice songs 2
Comment by luv riri 2 — December 2, 2010 @ 10:58 am

Comment by ikbale — December 2, 2010 @ 11:10 am
i hope so :( but it's so so so sad that rated r is no here..in grammys :(
Comment by ikbale — December 2, 2010 @ 11:11 am
i agree with you.. definetely..at least it should have been nominated for best contemporary r&b album..:(
Comment by ikbale — December 2, 2010 @ 11:12 am
Why not – its a legitimate question? His album flopped. BTW, its time for us to stop being so nasty. We don't like him but the shit is 2 yrs old.
Comment by RiRi Fan — December 2, 2010 @ 11:23 am

Comment by luv riri 2 — December 2, 2010 @ 12:03 pm
@voinko YOU BETTER BE PULLING OUR LEGS TALKING ABOUT THATS THE NEXT SINGLE CAUSE CLEARLY RIHANNA WOULD NOT BE TRUE TO HER WORDS…THE FANS HAVE SPOKEN S&M FOR THE 3RD SINGLE… THEY WOULD BE MADD NOT TO RELEASE IT AS ITS ALREADY CHARTING WORLDWIDE…RIHANNA BETTER WAKE HER ASS UP AND START CALLING DEM SHOTS!
SHE DONT NEED TO APPEAL TO NO URBAN MARKET THEM BYTCHES DONT EVEN VOTES HER VIDEOS ON THE COUNTDOWN OR BUY HER SINGLES. WHAT'S MY NAME WAS THE URBAN TRACK WE DON'T NEED ANYMORE URBAN TRACKS RIGHT NOW…
S&M WILL PUSH THE ALBUM ALL THE WAY UP INTO 2011 THEN SHE CAN DROP A BALLAD AND AFTER THAT DROP CHEERS FOR THE SUMMER JAM
Comment by JAMEL — December 2, 2010 @ 12:31 pm
This post is a mess. Haters everywhere but I'm telling you Rihanna should have wrote something she would actually get something for those songwriters awards. But if she doesn't care don't stress on it. She's taking over the charts once again.
Comment by anonymous_RD — December 2, 2010 @ 1:09 pm
FORGIVE AND FORGET
Comment by FFF — December 2, 2010 @ 1:11 pm
Congrats to Rih for the nominations she got. But let this be a lesson to Def Jam and SRP… They should have released Fire Bomb after Rude Boy to keep Rated R on every ones radar. They could have released Rockstar101 and Te Amo afterwards if they really wanted to. Fire Bomb could have been a huge hit and it would have been harder to deny her. That being said, the fact that Rude Boy didn't get any nominations is a total joke. I don't think they submitted Russsian Roulette in any of the vocal categories. Anyway, hopefully the OG nomination is a preview of the 2012 grammys.
Comment by virgo — December 2, 2010 @ 2:09 pm
First and foremost Congrats to Rihanna for her nominations!!! :-) :-) :-) But I am sad that there were no nominations for Rated R!! :-(
Comment by Annie — December 2, 2010 @ 3:32 pm
Why the hell are you on a fan site if you dont like Rihanna? Dont that make you look stupid as hell. Sheesh. GTFOH
Comment by Delirium — December 2, 2010 @ 3:41 pm
Me, I am still pissed. How d hell does Katy Perry get album of the year and rated r nothing. They need to change their crack dealers because he is selling dem some crazh s@#t
Comment by Buliow — December 2, 2010 @ 3:42 pm
record of the year is the artists nomination not song of the year. song of the year is for the song writers.
Comment by yuuuus — December 2, 2010 @ 4:08 pm
congrats RiRi on your nominations-even though the Grammys are wack for snubbing you-HATERS! MAYBE if your dad worked on the voting committee-things would be different.Then u could have a 2 or 3 year old song in the nominations.And much love to the WOMAN BEATER and CHILD MOLESTER on their nominations!Makes ya proud to be an american!:@
Comment by na na — December 2, 2010 @ 6:54 pm
It seems someone on the Grammy committee has it for Rih. No nominations? only with Em, I can't beleive it. So without him, she would not have been there? Unbeleivable. It's the same thing, over, and over, again.
Comment by Luv — December 2, 2010 @ 8:01 pm
shocked about no Russian roulette no rated r
Comment by moi — December 2, 2010 @ 9:07 pm
UMMM, YEAH RATED R DESERVES ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!!!
Comment by amanda hearts ri ri — December 2, 2010 @ 9:36 pm
they didn't submit russian roulette into enough categories. I think for sure it could have been nominated for best pop vocal over a 2 year old song.
Comment by virgo — December 3, 2010 @ 1:05 am
That song was so different and amazing… Grammys are not thinking about the future of music
Comment by moi — December 3, 2010 @ 8:22 am
it's so irritating that riri is not been nominated for rated r and any song from it…to me it should've been this way:
best contemporary r&b album-rated r
best pop vocal performance-russian roulette
best r&b vocal performance-rude boy
best rap sung collobration-hard(ft young jeezy)
best dance recording-what's my name
best electronica/dance album-loud
song of the year-rude boy
record of the year-rude boy
album of the year-rated r
Comment by ikbale — December 3, 2010 @ 11:32 am
i hate all of them..i've been shocked about there is not rated r and songs of rated r in grammy..is this a joke..somebody tell me..i can't believe in it..im so so so down.that 4 nominations aren't enough for our riri :(
Comment by ikbale — December 3, 2010 @ 11:34 am
I believe somone on that committee is responsible. I wonder what DJ is saying.
Comment by Luv — December 3, 2010 @ 1:23 pm
lets be 4real em mde tht song & with or with out rihanna he wouldve gotten that nomination no matter who he had sing the hook. She knows it 2 thats y she came wit a part 2 milkin it anything Em does is hot

Comment by bodacious — January 24, 2011 @ 4:38 pm
