As one of the most successful female artists in history, Beyonce has consistently broken boundaries throughout her career, becoming an icon to millions around the world. She is not only loved by fans everywhere for her incredible artistry, but also admired for using her platform to speak out on issues close to her heart.
This year’s win at the BET Awards marks yet another momentous achievement in what has already been an impressive career – one that will continue to inspire many generations to come!
Nominees For Best Female R&B
The 2012 BET Awards were a star-studded event, with many talented female R&B artists competing in the Best Female R&B category. Among those nominated were some of music’s biggest names: Mary J. Blige, Beyoncé Knowles, Estelle, Kelly Rowland and Marsha Ambrosius. Each artist had made significant contributions to the world of contemporary R&B during the past year.
Mary J. Blige released her tenth studio album My Life II… The Journey Continues (Act 1) this April, which featured production from heavyweights such as Swizz Beatz and Bryan Michael Cox. As always, she delivered powerful vocals on tracks like “Why,” singing about love and relationships over an infectious beat. Meanwhile, Kelly Rowland put out Here I Am earlier in the summer; her third solo project proved that she was just as capable of crafting catchy pop singles as slow jams. And Estelle continued to show off her versatility by releasing All Of Me—a mix of soulful ballads and uptempo club bangers produced by David Guetta and Kanye West among others.
Ultimately it was Beyonce who took home the award for Best Female R&B at the 2012 BET Awards ceremony. Her critically acclaimed release 4 showcased both her vocal prowess and songwriting skills while also earning her Video Director of the Year honors later that evening. It was clear that Bey had solidified herself as one of today’s top performers once again – a true testament to hard work paying off!
