Re: Rihanna and the 2009 Grammys
Okay Record of the year, big dif. And you where talking shit like Rihanna would have Record, song and vocal under her belt.
____________
It is a big diff dum dum.
Song of the year represents a songs lyrical quality alone, while record of the year is a songs production value and mass appeal despite its possible lyrical shortcomings.
There is a big difference and which is why they are 2 separate categories.
Song of the year is awarded to the song writer and record to the artist and producer.
And also you fail as nowehere did i say Rihanna would get song of the year i said record of the year for Take A Bow and also its not talking shit when the song had a legitamate chance of getting nominated.
If you read all the crtics predictions 95% of them were saying Take A Bow would get nominated.
Then again you do not need a critic to tell you Take A Bow was one the biggest records of the year.
No possible nomination i posited was unrealistic and underserving.
There is not one nomination i mentioned in this thread that you can say was unrealistic and unworthy. Only maybe R&B vocal but i was teh first to say she probably wouldnt actually win the Grammy but a nom was possible.
LIVE YOUR LIFE was one of the best rap/sung and got snub.
Every song on this list is more worthy than LIVE YOUR LIFE?

I think not. LIVE YOUR LIFE was one of her surest nominations and she didnt get it.
So i was not talking any "shit" everything was realistic and possible, it just wasnt meant to be.
Besides lots of fraud was going on this year. Songs were nominated that werent even released and also a song that was 5 years old got a nomination in 2008 for R&B vocal.
Rihanna had no new album out and still got 3 nominations so congrats Ri Ri.
