People using "it's a sample album" clearly haven't even listened to the album  Like please the sample lasted for like 2 seconds  

 

And didn't Herbie Hancock win AOTY for a cover album of Joni Mitchell songs?

They genuinely just fabricate narratives and then try and pretend it's fact. It's wild. 

[Mezter]

For Heated alone tbh

[BajanBeauty]

No, but Self Titled did. 
- IMO Renaissance is a fantastic album however Beys weakest AOTY nominee

It's a bad album with only 1-2 good/listenable songs. Y'all especially the critics just rave about it because it's 

 

 

 

but quality-wise it's a NO.

Poll serving taste

[Mystic Boy]

Imagine saying no!

[Phaunzie]

No, like Renaissance was never AOTY especially how it came and went.

Nothing say "came and went" like never leaving the top 50 in the biggest music market in the world, being perched at #2 on global Apple Music and consistently pulling 4M daily streams on Spotify.

 

I don't know what is more embarrassing; you running from thread to thread trolling her, or having her as your profile picture to pretend you're a fan.

[swissman]

YES!

 

For all this talk about samples I've never heard a sample used more brilliantly than the way she did the Donna Summer sample at the end of the album as if it were a bibliographic reference, she sings the line as if she's exiting the song itself and entering another plane...it's just wonderful and brilliant and truly shows the artistry that can be done with sampling.

Where did it go? CUFF IT is just 2 spots lower than where it debuted in August of 2022. The album is still Top 30.

 

And not using commercial success to define AOTY...

This cannot be the case because if it were just about BEYONCÉ!? then Everything is Love and The Gift would have been critically acclaimed all the same and would have appeared in the Top Ten for most Year-End album lists, nominated for the most Grammys of the night, etc., but though both are great albums, neither had this.

Turns out it was "I'm glad to be part of that".

Renaissance was the obvious standout album from last year, even moreso among this actual lineup of nominees.

To make her lose to some vanilla (ex-)teenybopper is downright condescending.

And they nominated ABBA, Björk and Diana Ross again this far into their career just to make them lose AGAIN too.

 

Alas, the Yummies will be the Yummies. The sooner everyone follows The Weeknd's lead and denies their existence the better.

The last time they were actually prestigious was the early 00s.

SAY IT LOUDER! 

 

Excellent comment from your part.

[Afferty]

No of course. Beyonce gans are delusional as always

[Lemon]

In this line-up, I would personally vote for either Renaissance or Un Verano sin Ti.

No Un Verano sin Ti deserved it more.

Honestly, no. Beyonce is the only artist that can get away with low quality music and be nominated in major categories at the Grammys. She basically make the same music as City Girls, but because she is Beyonce she gets nominated. I don’t care what anyone says, 25 rightfully beat out Lemonade for AOTY. Screw impact and what he did for black women. That does not equal to global impact, which Adele had with just Hello. Hello was played on hip hop and r&b stations. The lyrics on Lemonade were cringeworthy. I mean, the whole Formation song is a joke. What is Grammy-worthy about lyrics like, “When he f me good I take his ass to Red Lobster”? No other artist can get away with that except her. And I'm going to wake it up, the only reason why she gets nominated is because of colorism and tokenism. She's basically their default black person to award because they don't want to award other black artists. And she knows she benefits from this privilege, but do you ever think she is going to speak against it? No because she lives for titles like “Mosr awarded in history” and “The first black...”  She pails in comparison everywhere else and that is a fact. 

oh come on

[TheArgonaut]

No and it didn't
