Winning AOTY for Midnights was always a given (the only real competition was SZA and SOS isnt "grammy material" music) I think Taylor might have a very hard time beating Beyoncé and Billie. midnights is a pop album so ofc its gonna be better for you and whose do you think 2024 is if not taylor again?

Funnyfatty Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Taylor winning 5 AOTY while Mariah has just 5 dumb grammys in total would be a total scandal. Especially when the latter is a good writer, good singer, good producer and a good performer. She is a legend in all those fields but whatever. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, CC feels like something that Grammy voters would like If it doesn't win, then yeah she's never taking it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm653 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Honestly, she might not this time. People assume the best selling artists win but that's not always the case. Eminem didn't win AOTY for Recovery even though it was the best selling album of 2010. The Dixie Chicks won it over the likes of Justin Timberlake in 2006. And Ray Charles won it over Usher in 2005. And Beck won it over every mainstream act in 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klein Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) If Midnights hadn't won the year just before, there's no doubt in my mind that Tortured Poets would have won. Edited April 21 by Klein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starshine Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Next years Grammys will be one for the books because all outcomes will be messy. Taylor winning would just be insulting. Beyoncé winning would be seen as a pity award and not just that, it would also prove a point that catering to a whiter genre/audience is likely her only chance of winning. If she loses, Jay's speech this year would come back to bite. Billie winning like she's the white H.E.R. Ratings are gonna be massive. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorjesspazze9 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 It probably will win. Even tho it's Taylor's most mid album 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavish Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 It's an amazing album but they won't give it to her twice in a row. I also wish that this was her 4th AOTY instead of Midnights, but oh well. Hopefully COWBOY CARTER wins it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burn Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 21 minutes ago, KatyPrismSpirit said: Tbh the backlash if Taylor wins a fifth Album of the Year before Beyoncé wins even one Grammy for AOTY will be absolutely insane. I think the hate will be crazy It's gonna be a mess either way. If Taylor wins there will be backlash of her being overawarded. If Beyoncé wins people will claim she only got it because of Jay's speech. I think they'll give it to someone like Billie who would be an uncontroversial choice.

True but Billie is adored by the Grammys. She's literally the white H.E.R. Finneas is also very well liked so if her album (which is only ten tracks and likely more cohesive than the bloated HTE) she has a big chance to win.

GoatGly Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 22 minutes ago, Peroxide said: I think Bey will get it - and I honestly want her to even though I much, much prefer TTPD to Cowboy Carter. Kind of agree. I love TTPD more than Cowboy Carter but Beyoncé is incredibly overdue at this point. Give her the damn award! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Winning AOTY for Midnights was always a given (the only real competition was SZA and SOS isnt "grammy material" music) I think Taylor might have a very hard time beating Beyoncé and Billie. The **** are you talking about? The Grammys eat the 'songwriter!1!' shtick up and SZA's lyrics are completely self-written (barring the songs where she has sampled other music and credits those artists appropriately). By the Grammys own metric, SZA should have won based on the fact that she wrote the album herself, it was critically acclaimed, commercially successful (10 weeks at #1, two monster smashes). The only reason she didn't win is because they hate Black artists. A Black woman hasn't won AOTY in almost 30 years btw. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KatyPrismSpirit Posted April 21 Author Share Posted April 21 Just now, R.E.M. said: The **** are you talking about? A Black woman hasn't won AOTY in almost 30 years btw. I know but the Grammys want you to believe the facade that they are traditional and have a certain prestige. They prefer albums that are either incredibly cohesive or rather short. And they don't award music that is considered too offensive or explicit in the general field. Thats what I meant. Not the fact that the album wasn't a big success. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashfox Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Either Taylor is winning or a non commercial album from a nobody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
