Spearsfan Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Rainbow and Kehlani deserve to win. Link to comment
Isla Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 So happy for Gaga. Million Reasons is one of her best ballads. I thought Shape Of You would get nominated for ROTY/SOTY and Divide AOTY but it didn’t. Paramore got snubbed. After Laughter was a great album and deserved to be nominated! How does Coldplay’s 5 track EP get nominated??? Link to comment
Dripping For Britney Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Bruno Mars better win album of the year Link to comment

Legend Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Yassss at Gaga & Jay I wish Demi wasn’t snubbed though, her album was amazing Link to comment
BoyToySoldier Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Bruno is snatching that AOTY, bookmark me. The rap albums will steal votes from each other. Link to comment
ChosenSparkles Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Gaga, Lana, Lorde and Kesha YASSSS Link to comment
LostInAnImage Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Yay for Gaga and Kelly! Joanne wasn't my cup of tea, but the vocals are undeniable, and "Million Reasons" is a great ballad. Also, Queen Kelly now holds the record for most nominations in the Best Pop Solo Performance category ever. Kesha's nomination is also well-deserved. I'm pretty shocked that Ed Sheeran didn't get nominations in any of the big three categories. Also, I totally forgot Jay-Z even released an album this year, but I don't think he has a chance against Kendrick Lamar. Link to comment
