Anyway if we're going by metacritic, Fearless got a 71. Only The Fame got higher - and that was a 72, with 11 less reviews. |
72>71
If more people reviewed it, the score probably would've been even higher.
Everyone loves The Fame. Except Grammy voters it seems

Fearless had the highest Metascore out of all those nominees  It was very close. No, it does have the highest Metascore.
It definitely shouldn't have won, but given what it was up against, it had at the very least a 50% chance of winning. The E.N.D. was trash, Big Whiskey didn't deserve it, and Bey should have won with 4, not IASF.
And how is a legacy vote different from a sympathy vote if both albums are undeserving?

I Am... Sasha Fierce had the chance to win, and Fearless only had 2 more points on Metacritic than The Fame, but I agree with you, I'm glad THE E.N.D. didn't win.

Actually, Fearless stands at a 73 and The Fame stands at a 71. Not that it matters much anyway...

Neko Case's Middle Cyclone, Animal Collective's Merriweather Post Pavilion, and Yeah Yeah Yeahs' It's Blitz were all on another level compared to the albums that WERE nominated. Hell, Lungs by Florence + the Machine was also there, if you want a more "popular" choice.

Don't get me started on Florence + The Machine or Animal Collective plz It's Blitz  Fearless is better tho.
Is that Neko album the one with "I'm a man man man man man maneater, but still you're surprised when I eat ya" or whatever? That song is cute

I voted for The Suburbs - Arcade Fire because I wanted The Fame Monster to win.

Because legacy implies a long history of quality and influence.
Sympathy implies the overlooking of quality for the sake of emotion

That's nonsensical
The Fame had 1 higher on metacritic with 11 less reviews so it deserved AOTY over Fearless? Righttt....

Don't even get ME started on Animal Collective. I wasn't a big fan of the album, but I realize that it genuinely is a great album.
And that would be "People Got A Lotta Nerve" from the same album.

Volbeat - The Hangman's Body Count
I welcome the rain
And as you walk the final top
They will start to dark my past
Nothing counting in this world
See the valley turn to darkness on your way

The general public consensus is that she didn't deserve AOTY for Fearless.
Move on.

A few ATRL voters is the generic public consensus? Wait What about the 9 million who bought it? Are they not important?

Yes, the majority of Grammy voters voted for the event's most prestigious category based on an incident that occured 5 months beforehand. Sounds plausible.

If The Suburbs was "mainstream" enough to WIN Album of the Year, then BLACKsummers'night or Animal Collective's MPP should have at least been nominated in 2010 instead of the ****ing Black Eyed Peas 
They could have both beaten Taylor
