I bet that 3121 will get at least two grammy awards, but i just can't imagine in wich category. What do you think about it?
Maybe best album... or best performer? Or waht else?

"Love is whatever u want it 2 b... "

Best mediocre album?

it didnt receive enough promotion to receive an award. IMO

I DONT THINK IT WILL BE A CONTENDER AT THE GRAMMYS.

Best album to debut at No. 1 and then flop like a dead man's cock?

N.E.W.S. received a Grammy nomination with zero promotion.

Most people say that 3121 was better than Musicology. Musicology got two Grammies, so why shouldn't the new album get at least one?

In my opinion, I still love 3121 even with some people bashing it.

I think it will get Grammy nods.

Who knows?

Album of The Year & Best Male R&B! Love 3121!

And that would be a shame. I think he should get passed over. It looks bad for an artist of his stature to be "given" an award he didn't earn. It looks like insider industy b.s. that he should be above by now.

i too like 3121, but the way today's music biz is, i really dont see it getting a grammy since it got little airplay and little promotion. the majority of people outside of his fan base aren't even that familiar with the album. Musicology was different, it was backed by a huge tour and hit higher on the charts simply because of giving away albums with the concert tix.

1. And the Grammy for "Album most ignored/sabotaged by its creator's neglect" goes to - 3121, Prince

2. And the Grammy for "Artist who has talent, but whose album project was heard by fewer people than OJ's confession" goes to - Tamar

oh come on...But without a doubt it's the best Prince's album of the year!

i'm willing to bet it will get some nominations whether or not it should win is a different topic...

And - off topic - sincere commiserations about the World Cup. Poor old Zidane.

Anyway, back to 3121. I think it's better than Musicology (which was the bland leading the bland), but it's still Prince with lead boots on, plodding where he used to pirouette. And he used to be so damn exciting.

A Grammy Nomination....Hell No!!! If it gets a grammy nomination I'll let Kayrn White shoot me in the ass with a bow and arrow!

It's prince, he don't need to promote IMO

Yeah, I'm thinking if N.E.W.S. could get nominated, 3121 definitely will. We shall see.

I heard that Materazzi made a racist commentary on him, related to his argelian origin. So, the man lost his mind...

no tour and hardly any promotion? puh-lease. he didn't do any work to promote this record and, good material or not, i don't think he should get anything for it. there are artists out there working ten times harder at promotion AND their work is miles above what he released on 3121 (and i like the cd, by the way).

if prince gets a grammy for this record it is totally bought and paid for. it will be exactly what half of you bitch about on these boards when it comes to other artists.

I have to disagree. I think 3121 is a fantastic album - Prince has just set the bar so high that people take his genius for granted. I think 3121 is a much better album than Musicology and should at least get nominated.

That said, why he absolutely disappeared after the SNL performance will never make sense to me.

Reports are that he insulted Zidane's mother, who's very ill. He apparently called Zidane "son of a terrorist whore" or said something like "I fucked your mother". If that's true, Zidane was completely justified, but he should have channelled his rage into his playing and scored the winning goal.

And 3121's boring in comparison.

Grammy awards should go to the highest-quality work there is for any given year. Period.

Artists working 10x harder at promotion? Promotion should not be a factor, airplay should not be a factor, sales should not be a factor. If all of those things were factors, Britney would have a ton of Grammys (I believe she has none). That's how it would be in a perfect world, anyway. I know that nowadays those things DO count, and it's sad.

I'm not saying 3121 should win best album, but Black Sweat could be up for best R&B performance (in my opinion the only song worthy of a nomination).

Again, it's the best of what came out THIS year - not ever.

Sales have nothing to do with Grammies. Sign Of The Times only sold 1 million copies and it was nominated for a grammy. Low sales for really good Prince albums is nothing new.

Exactly. How many albums have been nominated and won Grammy's and they weren't huge sellers? It doesn't matter if this album goes platinum or lead. I won't be shocked if this CD gets several Grammy nominations.
