"Growing Pains" Mary J. Blige
"Back of My Lac'" J. Holiday
"First Love" Karina
"Year of the Gentleman" Ne-Yo
"Fearless" Jazmine Sullivan
I'm watching "Mad" by Ne-Yo on Youtube on another browser. I'm very much impressed w/ today's rhythm & blues artists. I don't c "As I Am" by Alicia Keys on here; I assume it was nomin8d last year. & I think "Growing Pains" came out during the 1st days of the eligibility period; it came out last fall. Un4tunately Hot 94.1, Bakersfield's most-listened-2 station, plays a mix of hip-hop w/ R&B, so I guess I can only find pure R&B stations online. That could explain y I never really heard anything regularly from MJB, not even "Just Fine." Ne-Yo is certainly the most popular on Hot 94.1, & he's popular w/ some of the Answerers. I'm impressed w/ him myself; I think he sets the archetype for male R&B crooners. That said, he can win this. But perhaps some recognition should go to Jasmine Sullivan as well. I never really heard Karina's hits, & I've only heard J. Holiday's "Bed" & "Suffocate."
So who do u like? Any Karina, J. Holiday or Jazmine Sullivan fans out there? The 51st Grammys take place 2/8 on CBS.
