Firstly shouts to my collegue GNVilla who predicted nearly all of the results in my original predictions post!

Secondly did anyone cop that Chaka Khan album? Two awards and I haven't heard it yet. Time to order my copy I think!

So in the RnB categories with 2 awards Alicia Keys has done extremely well but personally while I did really like 'No One', I felt that Chrisette Michelle's track was better and in the writing category I'd have given it to Musiq Soulchild.

All in all though its been a solid year in the R&B categories! Leave your feedback in the comments section! Who do you think deserved to win? Are you pleased with the results?

Currently listening to: Bugz in the Attic - The remixes (album)
