How did Ashanti and Beyonce get a nomination when they albums and songs jus came out not too long ago And Mya too. I like her but das jus a lil' too quick for ish dat jus came out. I'm not understandin that Well anyway, my vote for the best R&B video is Aaliyah. That video was so beautiful. It made you cry but it was from the heart and I believe she should win that category Missy sure is workin it wit her nominations. You go girl ;D

Congratz to all the artists (my selected few anyway)
