Steve Johnson Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Brandi should've won over Harry. His album was so soulless.
byzantium Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 We need to learn that in any given year there are multiple deserving winners. I personally think both in the OP are both objectively excellent albums that deserve to win. That said there are some egregious examples. Such as when 25 won over lemonade or when Jon Batiste won over the other nominees s. 1
More Than A Melody Posted May 18, 2023 Posted May 18, 2023 Not this thread again. Art is subjective. The winner is the album that gets the most votes. Deal with it.

I agree that Lemonade should've definitely won as well! Jon Batiste deserved his win based on his talent.

Deal with it. I know its subjective? Thats why i ask people about times you feel another artist should've won instead! Im not shaming kacey loved that album too. I just loved Dirty Computer a little bit more. To get nominated for AOTY is a win already people

Like personally, I think Golden Hour is the better album. Others can disagree and both perspectives are completely valid. Both deserved to win. For me, I don’t think Batiste translated his talent to the actual product of the album well. It’s certainly not bad, but could use more polishing. It was not quite as strong as the other records that year imo.

HTE and Evermore were the albums I felt strongly about, and both artists had already won the category before so whatever. 1

UVST was nowhere near top ten best pure sellers and 30 didn't have good streams. Harry was the perfect combination of both It was critically acclaimed It had the biggest worldwide (and US) hit of the eligible time It was supported by a hugely successful sold out tour It's time to let it go.
