Best Rock Vocal Performance by a Duet or Group: “Life in Technicolor II” – Coldplay (Chris Martin’s voice still gives me chills)
Best Rock Song: “I’ll Go Crazy If I Don’t Go Crazy Tonight” – U2 (Although KoL with Use Somebody will probably win it…)
Best Rock Album: “No Line on the Horizon” – U2 (Check out one of the first pieces I wrote for this site)
Best Alternative Music Album: “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix” – Phoenix (One of my favorite albums this year)
Best Female Vocal R&B Performance: “Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)” Beyonce (I’ll bite the bullet and give her this one)
Best R&B Song: “Blame It” – Jamie Foxx (Pretty good song, the video features an all star cast)
Best Rap Solo Performance: Beautiful – Eminem (Incredible comeback album, “Relapse” is underrated)
Best Rap Performance By a Group or Duo: “Crack a Bottle” – Eminem, Dr. Dre & 50 Cent
Best Rap/Sung Collaboration: “Knock You Down” – Kerri Hilson ft. Kanye West & Ne-Yo ( My personal favorite song of the year) Also I’m on a Boat is nominated in this category which I thought was pretty hilarious.
