I think the song that should win a Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance is...... Wrong Side of a Love Song by Melanie Fiona.
ReplyDelete3 Musical Reasons--->
1) There is only vocals and a guitar used for this song. Traditional R&B music are usually simple and not overacted with instruments but goes a long way due to the vocals.
2) It demonstrates vocal range like most R&B songs (Other examples include harmony.)
3) It has a soothing melody and usually most R&B songs are about love like this one.
For me the song should win the Grammy for Best Traditional R&B Performance is Love on Top by Beyonce
ReplyDelete1.The melody was fascinating and the tune is not so low or so high.
2.The lyrics in the vocals was clearly sang.
3.The instruments was quite many and sometimes most of them are from computer but it still help the Rhythm to be more likely.

I think Melanie Fiona - "Wrong Side of a Love Song" should win the Grammy R&B song of the year. Three musical reasons why I would like this song to win is because Melanie's voice is very strong. Her vocals make the song very soothing, and when she sings, you can really feel what she wants to express. How there is only a guitar in the background makes the song more meaningful. The tempo isn't too slow, nor too fast. It's perfect, in my opinion. Lastly, the lyrics of this song tell a great story, and you can really relate to it. Mostly the part "I really, really need you now, I really really need you now
ReplyDeleteI really, really need you now, I really really need you now". I think everyone can relate to that.

The nominee that I think should win the Grammy Award for "R&B Song of the Year is Wrong Side of Love Song by Melonie Fiona. The reason this song should win is because she seems so genuine while singing the song. Her voice is so beautiful and strong. You can tell how much feelings she is putting towards the song. The lyrics are meaningful as she sings them power. The tempo isn't too laid back yet it isn't too fast, it has a medium tempo. I like how the song focuses more on her voice and the lyrics rather than adding all these unnecessary computer made sounds in the background. The only instruments she uses are her vocals and a guitar. It has a nice, soothing melody, though the song does gradually get louder.
