Prince Nominated for NAACP Award: outstanding male artist

http://www.naacpimageawar...OUNCED.pdf


http://www.ew.com/ew/arti...23,00.html

The Denzel Washington-directed The Great Debaters came out on top in Tuesday's 39th Annual NAACAP Image Award nominations with eight nods, including outstanding actor and director for Washington, and supporting actor nominations for Forest Whitaker and Nate Parker. American Gangster, I Am Legend, Talk to Me, and Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? rounded off the outstanding motion picture category. In the TV comedy categories, Ugly Betty and Everybody Hates Chris both scored multiple nominations, including outstanding comedy. TV drama nominations were fairly spread out, with Grey's Anatomy, The Unit, Lincoln Heights, and K-Ville each earning multiple nods. For music, the outstanding male artist nominations went to Chris Brown, Common, Kanye West, Prince, and Seal, while the outstanding female artist nods went to Alicia Keys, Aretha Franklin, Beyonce, Jill Scott, and Mary J. Blige. The NAACP Image Awards honor projects and individuals that promote diversity in the arts in television, recording, literature, and motion pictures. Fox is set to air the live awards presentation on Feb. 14.

Congrats 2 P on his nomination. I hope he wins, but since it is the NAACP awards, its a good chance that Kanye or Chris Brown will walk away with the honors. Besides, their albums have out performed P's and the "Kanye vs. 50 Cent" promo was genius.

As for the female artist, I think Mary or Beyonce will win. I can't stand Jill Scott and I don't like Alicia's new cd at all.

Chris Brown, Kanye and Common's albums are all better than Planet Earth. The only saving grace for Prince was that Urban AC stations played the hell out of FBM.

Th NAACP is not involved nor owned by anyone who is involved with the writers strike and should televise as planned...in fact, if the strike isn't over by feb 14th you might see a huge increase in big name attendees..


and its great to see angelina jolie included with the nominees.

Jill Scott's character was the lead in the play, so naturally...
I think this year's award show will definitely be better than last year.
And, i DO hope that PRINCE will win!

Didn't he win for 3121?
I want tn see Kanye, Prince, or Common win.
Chris Brown is fun...but he needs to get of MJs back and get his own identity. I actually think Chris' dancing is WAY better than his music.
I havent heard Seal.

Prince himself hasn't done many albums better than Planet Earf...

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

According to EURWeb Stevie Wonder will be honored on the show, so maybe that is incentive for Prince to show up. I never get tired of seeing those two perform together. Also, Prince has had a good history with the NAACP Image Awards, so it would be nice to see him there.

BTW, I LOVE Planet Earth. I think it was an excellent album. I've been listening to it for the past couple of weeks and I never get tired of it, especially the first eight songs.

Congratulations to Prince, I hope the NAACP takes this opportunity to do the right thing...those other guys are good, but they're not outstanding.
