Teenage dream

The E.N.D.
If not Loud.

But please leave TD alone, its a pop masterpiece. Just because the singles charted way better than your faves doesnt mean its manufactured for hits.

Stop hating Katy Perry just because she is ******** on your faves ATRL.

I don't think Doo-Wops & Hooligans or The Fame are undeserved at all. The other 3 are though, even Loud and that's coming from a Rihanna fan. I find it disgraceful how Rated R received absolutely no nominations the year before but Loud received an Album of the Year nomination. I love Loud but it definitely weren't worthy of that nomination, the nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album was definitely deserved though.

LOUD, for me. It's kind of the odd one out here, though i can see why they nominated it.

The E.N.D wasn't a great album by any means, but it's singles sparked the EDM trend on US radio, so it's impact couldn't be ignored.
The Teenage Dream era was too huge for the Grammys to ignore. Same goes for The Fame.
Doo Wops & Hooligans was the breakout album of a mainstream Pop/Soul singer-songwriter. It was gonna get nominated regardless of whether y'all liked it or not.

They nominate albums based on quality, not on how successful they were or how big the singles were.

and that is exactly the point of this thread... that Grammys nominated those albums in part because of the impact and success of the eras rather than musical quality.

So thats the reason lot of people think and we are discussing now those albums received an "undeserved" nomination.

Is a "Supposed" rule not basing the nods on sales, but sometimes Grammys skip that rule.

Undeserved, huh?
So what did you want nominated instead? 4?

Loud is a good album maybe not AOTY worthy but still good. But none of them deserved the nom.

This. Teenage Dream definitely.

Definately "4" was a better option than "Loud"..... but of course "Loud" had way more success..... just saying

4 would have been under best R&B album.

Is truth honey

The Fame + Monster have sold around 15M copies .... and around 8M or 9M were for "The Fame" alone.

well according to Mediatraffic... because Gaga herself was a bit more inflated and enthusiastic before releasing "The Fame monster" and congratulated herself with a comment on twitter when "The Fame" supposedly reached 10M sales.

4 will be nominated next year

To be honest, The Fame is the only reasonable nominee here.

So many pressed souls in this forum.

that will never be entirely possible

[gettsleazy]

All of these, bar Bruno, were some of the worst albums of the year. I voted for the Fame because it really didn't do much for me or the GP. Teenage Dream and Loud are close seconds.

[bleuwaffle]

Bruno Mars deserves nothing
