Moments ago, the 56th Annual GRAMMY nominations announced their nominees for the 2014 ceremony and below you will find the R&B, Rap, Pop and Gospel categories in addition to the major four (Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, Best New Artist) Grammy Awards.
Have to say after looking over these major categories, I am surprised at the exclusion of Lorde in Best New Artist and the exclusion of Ariana Grande, K. Michelle, Janelle Monáe and Brandy from a single nomination after all releasing great projects within the GRAMMY nomination time period.
