Monica’s Fans, Record Label Outraged At BET Snub

Sandra Rose May 18, 2010

I just put up a post about the 2010 BET Awards nominations being announced today, but to be honest, I didn’t even look at the nominations.

So it was a surprise to me when I got a call just about an hour ago from an industry exec questioning why Monica wasn’t nominated for Best Female R&B Artist?

Here is the category again in case you missed it like I did:

Best Female R&B Artist
Beyoncé
Mary J. Blige
Melanie Fiona
Alicia Keys
Rihanna

How is Beyonce’s name on the list with a 2 year old album? I like Melanie Fiona’s music, but she isn’t even a household name. And Rihanna is clearly a pop artist.

Naturally Monica’s followers on Twitter are in an uproar. Many twitterers report BET’s Twitter page blocking them. According to the industry exec I spoke with, it seems BET deliberately left Monica off the Female R&B list so as not to appear biased towards Monica since her highly rated reality show, Still Standing, is on the BET network.

Although BET included Monica’s name in the category for Viewers Choice Award and something called a “Centric Award”, it is a slap in the face to an artist who came roaring back to the top after taking a hiatus from recording to raise her family.

Monica did express her gratitude to BET on her Twitter page for her Viewer’s Choice nomination, saying “It’s a blessing” and “Viewers choice means SO much to me.”

Earlier today, she posted a tweet asking her fans to vote heavily for her to win the Viewer’s Choice Award.

Ms.kaylamomma

This is an outrage! No but I wish Monica the best. I will make sure I cast a vote for the Viewers Choice Awards.

Sandra, you raised the same points I did…Beyonce was nominated or even won (correct me if I am wrong)Best R&B Female Artist LAST YEAR…she had nothing of relevance for this year’s awards…she is also up for video of the year with “Video Phone.” I am one of Beyonce’s BIGGEST fans and I even find that to be a stretch even for her….what really got me was Rasheeda…RASHEEDA being nominated for Best Female Hip Hop artist…against Nicki, Esther and Trina…why is she even considered. Justin Bieber is nominated for best new arstist…WHY?? They don’t even play his music!!! The nominations are just full of sheeattt!!!! Ridiculous!!! Monica SHOULD HAVE been nominated regardless of whether her show is on the network or not. She would have earned it fair and square…the whole thing is just a joke!
jazi65

bey nominated? for what? Monica being nominated for a VCA is a slapped in the face…her vocals are sick and should have been the top choice for R & B.
KrayZKat

Well, all these awards shows are nonsense anyway. They are NOTHING like they used to be in the past. It’s more about politicing than anything else. At least Monica gets mad love and accolades from her fan, and apparently she has a load of them. She was even voted the best celeb mom on another blog for Mother’s Day.
Adair

Aww! That sucks! Sorry Monica! Since you not up there, I am going for Alicia Keys!
tagmebrown747

BET should piss off with that lame excuse. They are already showing bias by not including Monica in the nomination when she should be. Her CD numbers and chart placement counts for themselves and the numbers have nothing to do with the show. People bought her music because they enjoyed it. Hell, I don’t even watch the show but I bought the CD as I love her music. Monica makes me think of the young Whitney, music from heart to soul.

The BET Awards are an eff’n joke, I stopped watching a long time ago. It’s coonery at it’s finest.
highlyfavored

Yup BET has lost it, officially. The nominees don’t make sense and wtf is a “Centric” Award???
KayCeiSoul

Foolishness. Straight foolishness. This is a perfect example of the ways of the world. Good, decent, honest people put in hard work, and don’t get recognized. The industry is just a facade. Monica keep your faith in God and let the rest be. He’s got the best award you can receive anyhow.

This is unfair on so many levels, but finally the wolf in sheeps clothing is showing its teeth. BET’s drawls are showing on this one. If anything, the fact that Monica had a show on BET was the #1 reason to further support her efforts. Matthew still paying folks to keep his dumpling Bey relevant. Umph, umph, umph.
Ebony

Did ya’ll see where BET nominated me for best hot pocket

But for real how the fu@k is Bey nominated. Is that her illumanti ties
KayCeiSoul

Ebony…I try, I try, I try, but it never fails. You always have me in stitches.

ROTFLMAO @ “Did ya’ll see where BET nominated me for best hot pocket?”
Mother Jefferson

Mo needs to slap Debra Lee at the awards.

Bey probably isnt even going to show up this year. She only does when she has a album, movie, or dvd coming out, you know how them Knowles are. And again Sasha Fierce is SOO tired, I cannot believe all the accolades she has gotten for that lackluster album. Beyonce rant over…

Go Magic!!!
CivilEngineer

:rofl @Ebony

It’s the bet awards…they don’t even deserve capital letters
KayCeiSoul

Agreed Civ! bet reminds me of an In Living Color episode with David Alan Grier…”The Black Peoples Awards”.

Beyonce

I’m coming for that lace front

I stopped watching bet years ago, I just felt like it made my brain hurt and I think it was making me slow for some reason…. lol But on another note, if I’m correct Monica album sold the least out of all those other artist, her album isn’t even gold yet, just food for thought.
http://www.ashland86.com TheRealAshland

I am so over BET. Only excuse they can give is Monica’s album came out late but didn’t Beiber’s come out sane day and he’s nominated? Monica has the best vocal’s and the best album of a female artist out now! That is clearly a slap in the face, the same slap that Deborah lee did to African American’s when she became the leader of black ignorance and exploitation that is known as BET. Maybe if Monica was an ass shaker wore skimpy outfits and talked with no class and had a more I’gnat reality show maybe she would have gotten nominated. Monica is what music used to be and should be today, and that’s real! No nonsense no gimmicks just her. And a BET award in my opinion holds no merit, I rather see Monica at the Grammy’s or the AMA’s or even the MTV awards, remember these are the same people who gave the green light for Tiny and Toya and Frankie and Neffe!
I love you Monica I’ve looked up to you since 88/89 and I’m still holding you down!
http://organizekaos.blogspot.com JJSPLAYHOUSE

BET is a joke , BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT I didnt think Monica’s album was all that great. Anywho, Monica is a Singer and she fell short on this album bc the background music and hooks overpowered her singing, I just thought the album could have been fire if all the songs catered to her vocals like “Everything to me”. Just saying.
http://twitter.com/Queensj QueenSJ

SMH…I have a feeling Beyonce will take it home too, just because she’s Beyonce. And that’s sad, but it is what it is. Monica should NEVER let anything get to her. She should continue to do what she does best and make great meaningful music. She should never sell her soul and never become self-serving.
http://tagged.com/mr718to404 BK2ATLMAN

I wonder all these monica fans, I bet half of them didn’t even buy the album.
Daisy

I am not sure if Monica sold less than Melanie and Monica shld be close to gold if she hasn’t reached it already. I like both Monica and Melanie for the record

@Ebony
spongebobfan

Um WTF is ‘Centric’? why is beyonce nominated for a old album, didnt she win last yr? why is lil kim nominated for a BET award, for that matter why is rasheeda, they nominated Drake before and he has yet to drop a album so i know about nikki(she’ll win) wtf
iciaantica

Monica should have definitely been nominated…but her album wasn’t nearly as good as Melanie Fiona’s IMO…I love every song on Melanie Fiona’s album
Daisy

I wasn’t that impressed w/Melanies cd I was disappointed I only liked abt 2-3 other songs outside her two singles I like her voice though
TSRBenz

its the bet awards who cares if you arent nominated
Grownman

Numbers don’t lie, and besides Alicia Keys whose album came out in November, Monica currently has one the best selling R/B albums right now. She has sold 420k in less than 6 weeks and still selling like hot cakes. Twitter has been going off today and BET seem to have caught the negative end of it. I don’t really watch BET so i’m not as disappointed as some of the other Monica fans. Monica’s time will come in February at the Grammies, that’s the award show that matters.
pointhimout

more evidence that BET sucks ass. i thought my eyes were deceiving me with the beiber nomination, but i guess they weren’t. and you leave monica, who starred in a reality show on ur network, OFF all together?

it’s not like her song was on fiyah or slept on. she sang the hell outta that song, cd is nice, why wouldn’t she be nominated. BET aint been the same since they cancelled video soul.
netta0281

@BK2ATLMAN it dont matter if she gold or not, she had a better year than everyone in that category besides Mary, point blank period,Monica is good its her fans going bananas,but I am #teammonica and i know God has something bigger and better in store for her
cutiepie32

Bet is a hot damn mess for this one point blank.
VAALLDAY

I didn’t know people still watched that crap. Well Monica shouldn’t be to upset….her album and sales speak for itself.
sanaas

First off Rihanna shouldn’t have even been nominated in the R&b field, i’m so sick of talent bein overlook in the industry. They know that
Monica should of been number 1 on that list she had a number 1 song for 7 weeks on the charts..Justin Justin Justin, how i can’t stand Beiber or his crazy fans..I will be voting for Mo in the viewers choice award field.
Oh and Bey please go somewhere and sit down for about 6 months..overload!!
free

monica needs new people. this is really all pay to play.

Well I have all those ladies CD. I’m one of the biggest Bey fans but I didn’t get why she was nominated. Monica cd was cool I wouldn’t put much stock into BET/MTV awards but I guess for the artist any recognition is good.
TruGemini

Why is anyone surprised?? BET and this awards show is a bunch of bullsh’t anyway.
meanNsurly

I am really surprised that she wasn’t nominated. Her cd is sick and everyone knows she brought back Tru R&B! If Bey wins, I’m gonna act like Kanye and run up on stage proclaiming my love for Mo!
winenroses

Vote heavy during the People’s Choice Awards? And obviously she assumes

we’d be voting for her. Most of my, and a lot of other people’s,

knowledge of a singer’s talent is what we hear on our car radios. And

truth be told, there hasn’t been anything worth listening to on the radio

since Alicia Keyes did ‘Falling’. Vote heavy? My question is, “why vote

at all?”
http://charactercorner.blogspot.com attorneymom

Her album was just released in March. Blank stare. Isn’t there a deadline date that albums must be released by before they can be nominated in a particular category?
ShoYaRight

So what her album was released in March. BET nominated people who NEVER released albums at all!

That network is a MESS!
Kat

Monica definitely should’ve been nominated. I can’t believe Beyonce is nominated AGAIN for that SAME album. That’s a damn shame. She better now win again.
Nupe4Life

MONICA – is WHACK!! I don’t think Beyonce should be on the list, but Moncia has not had a hit since the 90s … that song with Brandy wasn’t hers. I truely don’t understand how she is even relevant at the moment; I guess I do because the music industry is terrible right now. Too many people with other agendas besides making “good” music!! Good morning y’all!!
Kat

^^
*better NOT win again…
http://charactercorner.blogspot.com attorneymom

Who was nominated without an album? Did they at least have a single that charted and released prior to March?
crystal

Well since Lady Gaga couldn’t be added to that catogory so i guess they put Beyonce in for that dumb song video, radio phone i phone song or whatever that song was.
crystal

Oh by the way Janet Jackson used to stay getting nominated for her old albums, i just thought it was because that they were not many good R&B singers out @ the time cause Janet CAN NOT SING!!
CorporateHoodB-tch

Keisha Cole has been nominated for a BET award every year since 2006. Even though she had a hit BET TV show . Why are they trying to play Monica out?
Nika405

EBT sucks for this one. If they are going to go with “Her album was just released” well WTH was Lil. Beaver nominated? They released albums on the same day! Do I think this was Monica’s best album to date: no, but she gave us some good songs and re-introduced herself to people who may have forgotten. Rasheeda has done nothing but remix other ppl’s songs for crying out loud! And IMO Melanie F. album was not that great 1-2 songs were good.
http://charactercorner.blogspot.com attorneymom

Remember attitude determines altitude.
meanNsurly

Bey is the only person that I know that can be nominated for an album thats 2 yrs old. But she is able to do it for every single album. She won a ton of awards during her small hiatus between Bday and Sasha Fierce. She will win the category because its Bey! AND the heffa plans on releasing another album by the end of this yr. She is doing too much. I wish she will sit down somewhere, enjoy her fame, and play with her child *ahem* I mean nephew Jules!
aqtpie

I bet Matthew and Bey is behind this some way just like I know they caused me to overcook my cube steak and caused my insomnia last night!! Ugggh I swear these two are always doing something to sabotage others!

Monica keep your head up and viewer’s choice award IMO is honestly the best award for all these type of shows.

@Sandra, that red pocketbook is annoying the ish out of me. Can Covergirl change it to pink or black? LOL
CivilEngineer

Morning Fam!!

Again, bet doesn’t deserve capital letters and there’s really nothing more to be said. I might watch the show if it has good performances but if it’s anything like last year…I’ll pass!
CorporateHoodB-tch

Apologies to people that don’t like my Creole Lacefront wearing goddess Beyonce….but I freakkin love that song “Video Phone” and the video, I just so happened to watch it yesterday. I was thinking it should get some props…because each scene made me want to see what outfit she would have on next.

The one-piece bikini with a trench coat walking with an entourage of security looking type dudes = priceless. In my humble opinion.
Man, I just don’t care™

Monica wouldn’t win even if she was nominated so I don’t see what the big deal is. Even removing Beyonce, the four remaining nominees sing better have better albums.

I think this “uproar” is part of Monica’s marketing campaign of overcoming adversity. The name of her album is “Still Standing,” the whole “break-up” and everything. Come on Monica, you’re better than that.
meanNsurly

@ Attorneymom….I concur to post#51! I wrote Sandra a letter yesterday but she didn’t respond *sideye*

Well if I was Mo, I would dare a nucca to ask me to perform @ the ebt awards! In my Bonquiqui voice “I will cut you!”

Good Morning everybody. BET has been doing dumb stuff like this for years now. At the 1st BET Awards, they nominated Mary J. Blige when she didn’t have an album out and she won. Jill Scott was robbed.

Beyonce: 2004, 2007, 2009
Alicia Keys: 2005, 2008

Who was nominated that doesn’t have an album out? Nicki Minaj, Clipse, Rasheeda, Drake.

@ Kimip heeeey!!

@ Al-A I’m waiting on the post for CB to come in 5…4…3…2
meanNsurly

Is Mary’s album good? I didn’t cop it because I’m not too crazy about the singles she has released. Melanie’s cd is ok. Not what I thought it was gonna be but the girl can sang. AKeys, never been a fan of hers but I do like the song wit Drake!
Al-Ameera

I don’t have twitter either but it you google his twitter page you can read his tweets about her.

Apparently he wasn’t too please with her post about him yesterday so he went in on her but, in a kiddie childish way.

He’s very young acting IMO.

“Hey Man

Yeah, “The Diary of Alicia Keys” is one of the top five albums that have come out in the last decate.

…but her latest one is garbage. I have the whole album. One of my girls has a girl crush on Alicia Keys and burned a copy of it for me. I was disappointed.

“did you even listen to Alicia’s album? Yea, it does have a good number of love songs and you don’t seem the type to listen to love songs according to your list yesterday ”
______________________________________________________________________________

Yes, I have listened to the entire album and I give it a complete “thumbs down…WAY down.”

My list of songs and artists were people who mostly sang love songs (Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, E.W.F.(Earth, Wind and Fire), etc.) I only like for my rap music to be violent, angry and aggressive.
LuvMySailor

BET still needs to be ashamed of itself after the coonery that was the award show last year, especially those weak tributes to Michael Jackson. The award show in MTV showed BET up horribly

I agree with Ms.k…never skip a song on “The Elements of Freedom”. Actually the only CD I couldn’t really get into was “Songs in A Minor”.

@Luv…what tribute? They wouldn’t let CBreezy perform; made Beyonce change up her routine to that sacrilegious mess; let Ne-yo & Jamie Foxx perform way too many times and decided it was best to let tone deaf Ciara sit and sing over dancing and lipping

They should have just made a slideshow and done a seperate tribute IMO
ShoYaRight

I’ve never been an Alicia fan either. Her “Unthinkable” song is kinda cute.
CivilEngineer

@Mean…she could atleast fake it! I guess heartache singing will be left to Monica because that was pretty much all TEN songs.

And that brings up another point…when did CDs get reduced from 15 to 10 songs?

Mare has been hit or miss for me with these past few albums. She def has gotten lazy with her craft and relies on December/Christmas release dates for decent sales. She got rid of her hairstylist and sports some of the silliest/boring wigs weeks and months at a time. And she drops these cheesy green screen videos, if she even drops more than one per album at all. Oh, how thee long for the Mare of yesteryear.

I wasn’t going to comment on this, but I just heard one of Trina’s new songs on the 102 jamz. It was HORRIBLE! Why is she nominated for anything? Rasheeda, I wouldn’t listen to her cd if they were passing them out on the street for free! We as a culture need to stop it with the SHENANIGANS!

everyone focused on Bey as usual. Why the hell is Rhianna even nominated for her devil worshiping/suicidal music in the R&B catagory for anyway? And who the hell is Rasheeda? what does she sing? oh that bed rock song? Trina no comment. Monica you are such a lady, no bad mouthing the other artist who were nominated although you weren’t, REAL women you are!

I just just got to work. I blame Bey

Melanie Fiona’s CD is so wack. AKeys CD is the bomb minus that song with Bey… I Mo’s CD but I dont watch no dam.n BET. *shrugs* Rihanna? I cant even think of one song…wait! I lie. Hard. I liked Hard w Jeezy.

Sorry Monica stans but I’m going in best female R & B overall MAYBE but based on that Silly Of Me single NOT…. AND she won’t be my viewers choice…. She took a beautiful song and butchered it lyrically. Everytime the song comes on the radio I have to turn down the volume I cants takes it no more. Is anything else on that album of hers in rotation. I like Monica but you can’t go on hiatus and expect to come back and be #1 and the talk of the town. Same goes for Keisha Cole she has her stans but if she doesn’t get back in the booth soon will anyone other than her stans be checking for her-I’m just sayin

Drake, Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz, and Dirty Money were all announced as performers for the bet awards.

It’s a BET award not a Grammy or even a Soul Train Music award. How far will winning a BET award take you. It won’t be brought up during a interview. “Blah, blah the BET award winner…

Wow. It’s not that serious. It’s not like when there’s a story on an artist/singer they say “BET award winning artist….” FUUUGGGGG that’s shyt. BET is wack, and only deadhead mofos watch that boolshyt channel anyway.

And I agree with you Missknowitall, she definitely butchered one of my all-time favorite songs, and I also hit the volume button when that joint comes on the radio. MONICA, PLEASE LEAVE ALL DENIECE WILLIAMS AND MINNIE RIPERTON SONGS ALONE!!! THEY ARE EXCLUDED FROM YOUR VOCAL RANGE AND ABILITIES, THANK YOU!
http://twitter.com/monicamylife Monica

I wanted to say thank you to all of you who have been supportive. i am one who does not exspect everyone to like everything that i do or sing. pleasing everyone all the time is totally impossible, but it is clear that since 1995 R and B music is what i have done with mixes of pop throughout. Most things in the music industry now will have political things involved that the viewers will never know about. Its just the way it is now, so no need to harp on things that will not change. i must say i am truly honored to be nominated AT ALL. when i say that i mean it, im not just being politically correct. God has been amazing to me. im still learning, and growing. so with that comes change within me both personally and professionally. NOTHING and no one can stop your growth unless you allow it, and no one can stop whats meant because its being orchestrated by a force thats bigger than us all. this journey is going exactly the way the master intended and i am glad that I recorded everything TO me… Ms.Deniece loved it and through her love for the song we met and her personal experiences have helped me in more way than you will ever know. so again i say thank you. new single Love all over me is being released this week and me myself will keep striving. everybody that purchased the cd ….THANK U. we broke a record last week and it was all because of you guys

@monica I’m happy for u what eva u do an I’m glad u dnt listen 2 what otha people want u 2 do!
