ALBUM OF THE YEAR - Beyonce by Beyonce - I know this album got released 15 days before 2014, but for me this feels like a 2014 release.  It dominated my year with nearly 300 plays.  The production, vocals, etc are complete perfection.

SINGLE OF THE YEAR - Problem by Ariana Grande - This song is one of those tracks that I wish Mariah had recorded.  Carlos pretty much summed it up perfectly.  Very close four way tie with Carrie's Something In The Water, Anastacia's Stupid Little Things, and Tim McGraw's Meanwhile Back At Mama's.

ARTIST OF THE YEAR - Beyonce - She released a killer album with killer singles and videos.  

SONG/NON-SINGLE OF THE YEAR - Evolution by Anastacia - This would have been the perfect follow-up to SLT.  This song is just amazing.

MUSIC VIDEO OF THE YEAR - Anaconda by Nicki Minaj - This video has everything I missed about music videos.... being completely over the top.  It's probably my favorite video since Mariah's Touch My Body.  Just totally ridiculous and great at the same time.

NEWCOMER OF THE YEAR - Arianna Grande - Even though she is not a technical newcomer, she really took 2014 by storm.  Its going to be interesting to see where her career goes from here.  She has the chance to be a global superstar, but will her diva attitude and lack of artistry stop her?

MUSIC MOMENT OF THE YEAR - Carrie releasing Something In The Water in a country radio climate where faith songs are nonexistent and very risky.  She took a huge chance and it played off in epic ways by showing her artistry and faith in one of the best songs of her career.

COMEBACK MOMENT OF THE YEAR - Had to add this to give Toni props for a wonderful album with Babyface.  Hopefully it has restored her to release a solo album in the future.
