Grammy Awards Ban Britney Spears, Gaga, Rihanna from Dance Categories


Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Britney Spears, Ke$ha and Jennifer Lopez scored some of 2011's biggest dance hits, but you won't see any of them in the Dance categories at the 2012 Grammys.

The Academy has decided to shift all of those artists to the Pop field, opening up the Dance field for DJs and more hardcore dance acts like Afrojack, Calvin Harris, Skrillex and Benny Benassi.

Though the Grammys never made an official announcement about this, several Academy members have confirmed being told about the change. The new policy is also confirmed by scanning the leaked list of 116 potential 2012 Grammy nominees for Best Dance Recording, which is missing all of those aforementioned pop stars.

Many of the songs you might have expected to see in the Dance categories - Gaga's "Judas," Spears' "Till the World Ends," Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" and Rihanna's "S&M" - were shifted to the Pop field instead.

Unfortunately, the Academy isn't being consistent with its new definition. A few less-successful dance-pop artists did manage to slip onto the list of contenders in the Dance field, including Robyn, Dev, Kat DeLuna and LMFAO.

None of these performers are as commercially successful as Gaga or Rihanna. So it seems that the new Grammy rule is that dance-pop artists are no longer eligible for the Dance categories, unless they have terrible record sales, in which case they are welcomed with open arms.

We'll find out how much of a difference the new policy makes when the 2012 Grammy nominees are announced on November 30.

Ciara To Rejoin L.A. Reid At Epic With Usher, Mariah Carey And Jennifer Lopez?

'X Factor USA' judge Antonio 'L.A.' Reid has started his new job as head of Epic Label Group and is now looking to resign some of his most successful stars including Ciara, Usher, Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez.

It's likely that Ciara will be the first star to join him, as she is currently looking for a new label after leaving Jive Records earlier this year after the poor performance of her latest album 'Basic Instinct'.

Usher is also a target for L.A. Reid, who discovered him at young age, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

Mariah Carey could be coaxed from Island Def Jam to sign with the 55-year-old's Sony venture, as she released her album 'The Emancipation of Mimi' with Reid but her music career has suffered a number of setbacks in recent times.

Lopez is also a target, particularly after the success of her recent comeback album 'Love?' and her number one single 'On The Floor'.

Britney Spears, Lady Gaga Rule Billboard.com's 2011 Mid-Year Music Awards


Britney Spears and Lady Gaga proved the ultimate pop music divas in Billboard.com's Mid-Year Music Awards poll, which allowed fans to weigh in on their favorite songs, albums and performances of the first half of 2011 over the past week. Once the hundreds of thousands of votes were tallied after voting ended on Wednesday (July 6), the pop icons were declared the top candidate in a combined seven categories, with Spears edging Gaga in the First-Half MVP tally.

Spears' seventh studio album, "Femme Fatale," was named the Favorite Billboard 200 No. 1 album after topping the chart upon its March release, while her single "Hold It Against Me" won the Favorite Hot 100 No. 1 Song trophy. The singer's cheeky clip for "I Wanna Go" was also voted Best Music Video, and her recently started Femme Fatale tour was voted Best Tour.

Meanwhile, Gaga's eye-popping outfits earned her the most Best Style votes, and her set at Radio 1's Big Weekend was named the Best Festival Performance. Gaga was also the runner-up in categories like First-Half MVP, Favorite Billboard 200 No. 1 album for "Born This Way," Best Music Video for her elaborate "Judas" clip, and Best Tour for her Monster Ball trek.

Other leading vote-getters included Wiz Khalifa, whose ubiquitous single "Black and Yellow" and debut album "Rolling Papers" garnered enough fans to earn the rapper the Best Newcomer award; Jennifer Lopez, who used her seat at the "American Idol" judges table and new album "Love?" to lead the Best Comeback category; Beyonce, whose show-stopping performance at the 2011 Billboard Music Award was voted Best Awards Show Performance; and Chris Brown, whose "Good Morning America" tirade was named the year's Most Memorable Meltdown so far.

Check out the full results below, including the percentage of the votes that each candidate received, and let us know if you approve of the final tallies in the comments section.
