Grammy Week: Can Mary J. Blige Keep the Best Contemporary Album Crown?
Posted on February 6, 2009 1:15 PM
Mary J. Blige cleaned up at the Grammy's bigtime the last time she dropped an album, but can she capture this year's Best Contemporary R&B album when she's up against Ne-Yo, Jazmine Sullivan and other hot newcomers???
In keeping with the Grammy Week theme, let's look at the nominees for Best Contemporary R&B album, and you tell me who you think should get the prize and who will probably take it home.
* Growing Pains
Mary J. Blige
[Geffen]
* Back Of My Lac'
J. Holiday
[Capitol Records]
* First Love
Karina
[Def Jam]
* Year Of The Gentleman
Ne-Yo
[Def Jam/Compound]
* Fearless
Jazmine Sullivan
[J Records]
The Grammy's air Sunday February 8 at 8pm EST on CBS. I'm rooting for Jazmine Sullivan to get this one, but who do you want to win? Who do you think has the best shot? Talk to me y'all!!!
In case you missed it earlier, I'm also posting the Strictly Social Vol. 3 Mix from DJ Destroyer. The tracklist was posted this morning if you're interested.
Have a great weekend!

Neyo, should get this hands down...But J. Sullivan does have a hell of a shot in this category..Remember, we are talking about the Grammy's here.
Ok, let me start by saying i'm a HUGE Mary J Blige fan so I will TRY and be objective and unbiased...but it's gonna be hard!! lol Now, honestly, Growing Pains is a superb album but so are the others. This is going to be hard because I think NeYo's Year of the Gentleman was equally as superb. I think Mary should still get it but I know the competition is stiff and ...oh I don't know!!! I'll wait and see in this catergory (GO MARY! LOL)...........TGIF y'all! :-)
I can't help but add.....THAT PIC OF MARY IS GORGEOUS!! Love the hair, makeup everything...I'm sorry. I just had to say that. lol
Go Mary!!!!
I think Jasmine should get it.
I love Mary but i hated Growing Pains...I would like Jazmine to take it but she a first timer.
Whitney's performing tonight at Clive's Grammy Party... It's the return of The Voice!
