I LOVE three out of the five nominees for both Male (Ne-Yo, The-Dream, Ryan Leslie) and Female (Solange, Jazmine, Keshia), but we all know Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Hudson are running away with those, aren’t they?

@silkyjumbo FTW -- I was waiting to see who'd make the first Opie joke.

Only three nominees for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist? Jeez. I thought Modern Rock was the genre most lacking in females…

@Maura: I love that you know this, Maura. I don't see how "Single Ladies" doesn't win Video of the Year. Every kid on every block has her own version of that dance now.

@Chadams: to answer your second question, i think so; BETJ is on certain digital-cable systems, and it airs lots of music-centric programming, as well as religious programming on sundays. today it's airing a special on solange and 'under the cherry moon,' along with reruns of 'the parkers.'

What the heck is a BET J Award and how did they arrive upon that lst of nominees? Is it some “alternative R&B” sort of deal?

this is very tough. “single ladies” has that awesome dance, but “blame it” has ron howard.
