Final Verdict: Renaissance vs 30, which will win AOTY?

[Misguided Ghost]

Hoping for Beyonce, have a feeling it's going to be Harry unfortunately :( 

[LaFlaca]

I'd love if bad bunny won but I don't see the Academy giving such a big award to a latin artist 

[dumbsparce]

Neither are getting it. One was a flop, the other an even bigger one.

Should : Reneigh

Will : Harry's House or Adele's awfully bland album

Which one was the even bigger one?

 

 

[Pleighboy]

Beyonce won. Bookmark this post. 

[nadiamendell]

I'm hoping it's something else because I'm looking forward to the meltdowns on here.  

[GreatestLoveofAll]

I voted for Ren since it was a strong album and has the best narrative from what we have seen, but the more I think about it, the more likely it seems that someone else might pull an upset.

[CrimsonX]

Harry will win it cause he’s white and a male.

[CrimsonX]

But renaissance deserves it for sure!

30 bc it was a massive decline despite probably moving more units than Renaissance

Got it. 

[50thStateofMind]

Something else. I do t think it’ll be either one 

[Orsay]

Renaissance has the better chance of the two I'd say

[bad guy]

Bad Bunny hopefully.

 

If 30 or Harry’s House wins that would be a disaster 

[Moloko Plus]

I’m willing to bet Harry is going to take home AOTY.

[CBC]

hopefully something else for maximum meltdowns

Lowkey manifesting it to happen for this reason.  It would be a classic Grammy moment, and the backlash would be glorious to witness. 

Anything to further decrease the institution's ever-decaying credibility and respectability among music lovers and artists. 

 

OT: Neither. Harry Styles fits the profile of the type of artist the Academy loves to shower with awards, and he could very well pull a "24K Magic". Not to mention the last time a white man won the top honour of the night was in 2015, and a guy who's actively marketed as this 'transgressive' and 'progressive' male popstar would be the perfect excuse for them. 🙄 I could also see Brandi Carlile winning if serious vote-splitting occurs, which would be less distasteful, but still chaotic à la Jon Batiste. 

 

The two dark horses here are actually ABBA and Mary J. Blige, who could end up getting an overdue type of victory. 

 

I just don't see it for Adele, despite being one of the few who actually loves "30" and finds it to be her strongest body of work. And unfortunately, these voters do not respect Beyoncé and the approach of her craft. It would be a huge surprise if she ends up winning, and if she does, I hope she's preparing a speech in honour of all the amazing black artists who were robbed and continuously disrespected since OutKast's AOTY win in 2004 (the last time a black artist won for current and culturally relevant work).

 

Guess we'll have to wait and see how it goes.

Neither. Brandi is coming to shut down both.

[Winged]

Brandi unfortunately
