ICLDXU4HS Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I honestly think women, especially black women, are still being punished for a sexy image and sexual music by their antiquated voting body in that regard. A Lauryn or Tracy type probably has the best chance.
jonapova Posted February 5 Posted February 5 For the current voters - she’d need to cover her entire body head to toe prove she’s related to Jesus be nominated in a year that not a single white woman is nominated
TMRA Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I can get over anything but Lemonade snub was the biggest of them all. She served a highly acclaimed concept album with amazing visuals, the sales were there and it definitley is the most significant album of that year and everyone knows this. Even Adele who won AOTY. I hope she never shows up to Grammys again

The million dollar question, i dont understand this incessant need for white approval so bad. Yummy by JB was nominated for a grammy for christ's sake. Its been a joke 1
Rev8 Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Yall repeating the same stuff Every Year! You need to start paying the Scammys - DUST. They've been racist and biased for a Very long time. It's mostly politics there too Drake, Eminem, the Weeknd and even Jay-Z dissed them hopefully these other artists Also realize what is going on and start sabotaging them. 1
QueenBeyoncé Posted February 5 Posted February 5 (edited) Be a mediocre yt woman like Taylor Edited February 5 by QueenBeyoncé
QueenBeyoncé Posted February 5 Posted February 5 66 years and only 3 black women won AOTY it’s racism plan and simple.. and when that Grammy voter said He didn’t vote Beyoncé for AoTY because she wins too much confirmed it… like wtf. but you can award a basic yt woman 4 times? 2
GraceRandolph Posted February 5 Posted February 5 It's ludicrous. I guess the Grammys believes Taylor is more talented than all black female artists combined.
MonsterNavy Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Self titled & Lemonade CTRL & SOS ANTI from mainstream pop girlies alone deserved

Bosque Posted February 5 Posted February 5 There are no “standards” for an AOTY win, it’s just a bunch of people holding a vote. They clearly underappreciate black female artists, which is a shame, but all it means is a small group of people preferred Midnights to SOS

Shelter Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Change the voting system. Lbr Tay only won because it’s Tay it ain’t down to quality, one of the weakest wins ever.
Ruben Posted February 5 Posted February 5 Unfortunately, it’s all about the voting body. I feel like POC musicians are more likely to embrace Taylor’s albums than white execs and musicians embrace POC efforts. By no means Taylor is a Grammy darling; most of her recent wins have been in album related categories. However, we’ve had Black Women win the BNA category 3 out of the last 4 years, as well as Record and Song of the Year wins this decade as well. There is a real bias against certain genres, and it seems voters are comfortable awarding one song or an artist but not their entire body of work. This is why Taylor wins (and she’s my fave btw), on top of her insane success which probably drives executives to vote for her, her music appeals to Pop, Country and Alt voters, and like I said, POC are more willing to vote for her. The Black females in the category often rely on their POC peers and statistically, they are a minority in the Academy. Essentially, a new influx of voters that represent the breadth of the music landscape should be added in order to see different results going forward. There’s nothing SZA could’ve done differently with her album.
OrgVisual Posted February 5 Posted February 5 I love how people discarded the race card when it comes to Beyonce because "she didn't write her own music" But now they can't use the same excuse towards SZA 1

Thst old racist boomer guy said he wouldn't vote for SZA because her song is violent, and he voted for Midnights because it's Taylor Swift
