Mary J Blige is the undisputed queen of music . This diva bagged eight Grammy nominations at more or less the same time as she picked up nine Billboard awards.
The celebrity singer has come back from difficult times to become the showstealer at the 2006 grammy awards.
She received Grammy nominations for record as well as song of the year for the track 'Be Without You' from 'The Breakthrough' album.
Other Mary J Blige nominations include several R&B awards as well as for the remix of 'Be Without You'.
James Blunt is her rival for the Song of the Year category, with 'You're Beautiful'.
Other contenders are Corinne Bailey Rae 's 'Put Your Records On' plus 'Not Ready to Make Nice' by the Dixie Chicks.
The last but not least nominee for Song of the Year is Carrie Underwood's 'Jesus, Take the Wheel' , the American Idol winner who received five Billboard awards on Monday.
