Rules are simple: Next Tuesday the Grammy award nominations are being announced...I listed below all the nominations that I think Prince might be eligible for. All you have to do is place a "Yes" or a "No" next to each one, "Yes" if you think Prince will garner a nomination in that catagory, "No" if you think he won't...whoever gets the most correct wins...wins...well, wins something, I'll decide later.

Album of the Year
Song of the Year
Record of the Year
Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
Best Pop Vocal Album
Best Male R&B Vocal Performance
Best R&B Song
Best R&B Album
Best Contemporary R&B Album
Producer Of The Year, Non-Classical
Best Short Form Music Video


Good luck...

if he's nominated for even half of those categories, i'd bet that they're gearing up to make it prince's year to do the santana/bonnie raitt tribute stint at the grammys...which would be obvious as hell, but cool for us fans, i guess.

-- Looking at what will probably be up for nomination, the Britney's the Usher's the Zzzzzz - Then yes, he should probably be nominated above all them.

all of 'em are a "no".

Man - what a bunch of negative nancys!

I vote YES YES YES!! in every category!

The question is not "what is your fantasy?" it's "what do you think will happen?"

I think he'll get one or two nominations, probably for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance or something like that. I would be extremely surprised if he was nominated for Album of the Year.

I had to keep reminding myself that questions was if he would get nominated not that he would win a GRAMMY.

Song: 'Call My Name', has a very big chance in the R&B categories!

Video: 'Musicology' and 'Cinnamon Girl', both have a chance in the short form music video category.

"Musicology' Album couldve very well been nominated in the POP categories, if Pop/Top 40 Radio wouldve supported this project, because it truly is a POP record.
If songs like "A Million Days", "Reflection", "The Marrying Kind" and "Cinnamon Girl" were released and percieved well, we would have seen a BIG POP YEAR at the grammys for Prince, but seemingly he wanted to target the Funk/Soul/R&B Headz on this release...which wasn't a bad idea, but if it were me, I would have went the POP way!

I agree.

BeautifulOneJem said:

Can you really write all the catagories off, though??...I mean, hell, even N.E.W.S. got nominated...lol

Byron said:

yep, and it lost. all that can get written off.

Handclapsfingasnapz said:

We're not talking about winning, though...we're just talking about being nominated. N.E.W.S., a primarily internet-only release, got a nomination...but something like "Call My Name", which went to #1 on the Adult Contemporary chart and has spent over 6 months on the R&B chart, doesn't stand a chance??...

You ain't winnin' nuttin' from me...lol

This is the same organization that gave flute playin' Jethro Tull the Best Metal Band award. Going with that, I'll say that P will get nominated for best bluegrass performance by a trio.
