I just thought it would be cool to run some Music Awards here at the Music Forum. I will give you the categories, and you can just either post your nominations here, or PM them to me. We could also do Music Video nominations as well if you are interested. I will post my nominations once I get at least 5 participants. Feel free to come up with your own categories, but let me know what they are, and I will tell you if they can be added or not, thanks, and have fun!

Great idea Btw way, what is the eligbility date for the nominies? I'm guessing January 1-December 31 2004. Anyway here are my suggestions for added catagoires:

Best Male Vocal Performance
Best Pop Song
Best Rock Song
Best R&B/Rap/Hip-Hop Song
Female of the Year (or Best Female)
Male of the Year (or Best Male, whatever)

Awesome, I will add all of those, and you can start posting your nominations if you would like. As for the eligbility, it doesn't really matter. Just as long as the artists were out in 2004, wheather it was early, in the middle, or late, doesn't matter.

hey!!!, sounds great!!

i think thos nominations are just fine!

Awesome, so now I have 2 participants, 3 including myself. I would like to get some more. This is going to be a lot of fun!

I'll help :wink:

Thanks Bill. I know I can always count on you. :wink:

Can we put R&B in the Rap catagories, or can we creat a 'Best R&B Album' and song catagories?

I will not help.

Then why even waste your time responding to this thread?

IMPORTANT NOTICE

I am sorry to announce that there will be no music video categories, because its all just too much. We should just focus solely on the music itself, and not worry about the videos. I apoligize if this upsets you, but like Rod said it is pretty extensive, and I agree with that.

hey do you guys think Avril would fit into the rock or pop catagory?
