Will Prince get the sympathy Grammy nomination/win this year? Sadly this has happened before with Artists who die after they release an album... John Lennon won for Double Fantasy and half of the album was Yoko and her weird sounds...but still won.
Do you think Prince will get the same treatment?? | |

Phase 2 deserves it period. Black Muse, Stare, Revelation, etc. are some of his best songs and way better than anything else that came out in the past year. | |

Will he be competing against David Bowie for "Blackstar?' | |

I just hope he gets a decent tribute and not the rushed garbage we saw at the Billboard awards. Paisley Park is in your heart

They hand out Grammy awards like "Perfect Attendance" certificates nowadays. Does it really matter now? | |

No. I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart. | |

Phase 2 doesn't need a sympathy vote. There are so many good songs on that album it can stand on it's own. Anyway these awards only really mean something to the record industry who naturally use the platform to promote and sell more records and those that see it as a honour to be recognised by their peers. Although Prince often said he didn't care for awards, I have a sneaky feeling that he really did. Come now, isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes? - Prince 1985 | |

As a Prince fan, if he gets one I will see it as a fitting tribute, but I think the majority of Joe public couldn't really care less.I dislike "sympathy awards" that are handed out after an artist dies.It's insulting.If the Grammy voters can't appreciate an artist and their music when they're alive,then don't wait until they die to finally acknowledge them. | |

Prince deserves several NON-SYMPATHY wins. #Enoughsaid | |

Sympathy vote or not, it deserves a nomination like many of Prince's overlooked albums. "Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise."

I personnaly think Sam Smith is GREAT!! | |

No - for the simple reason that album was released in 2015 and is not eligible. We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |

The eligibility period for the 59th Annual Grammy Awards is October 1, 2015 to September 30, 2016. HNR Phase 2 is eligible..... | |

"HNR Phase 2" should definitely be given an Album of the Year nomination. No, it wasn't a huge seller...but sometimes being nominated (or winning) brings more awareness for folks to pick it up. Not every album nominated is always a big seller anyway. Alot of great music on that LP. [Edited 9/25/16 9:15am] Exiles of the Nation

It would be nice to see him getting acknowledged for something. Since we're on this topic, did anyone happen to see the Emmy's....towards the end? They showed all the actors/musicians that we lost this year and the last one they showed........was........PRINCE!! OMG, that hit me really hard. It still does not seem possible that he's gone.
