Sis, if it wasn't Saturday morning and I wasn't about to go for a hike, I'd link to you endless threads and base comments on "can we finally admit CC isn't all that?" or "I haven't listened to CC in ____ months" from her top fans on this site, but if we want to pretend those conversations didn't happen over the last 8 months I can also bury my. head in the sand with the best of you.

Ugh don't get me started. The parking was randomly closed where we wanted to go so we just went to a local park and did 4 miles of hills, but thanks for keeping tabs. Do you want to follow me on AllTrails too? Dm me.

 

I mean, yes, things generally cross my mind when I read a sentence (aka thread topic) about them. Gee whiz, thanks for clarifying!

For those saying the Grammys should go to the music which is more popular with the highest streams/sales, I'm assuming they also think that Beyoncé should have won the AOTY in 2015 for BEYONCÉ? Since it was more successful than the under-the-radar Beck album? 

Yes.

I actually did not say that. In response to you saying: "the public has overwhelming voted that the music is a dud" I said: "I can't imagine believing that streams are votes of quality".

Streams are not a vote of quality but of personal interest. That may be informed by quality but it is not the deciding factor. Consequently, not streaming a song or album is not a vote against its quality. Please take note of the word "vote" here. I didn't say streams don't suggest people like a song. I said (in other words) streams don't suggest a song is any better or worse than another song. I think Bohemian Rhapsody is a qualitatively brilliant song. Do I ever listen to it? No, I don't. Do I listen to songs I may think aren't as qualitatively brilliant as it? Yes, I do. Do you see how this works?

 

Let's put it another way.

Would you say the streaming era's five songs of the highest quality are:

1. Blinding Lights by the Weekend
2. Shape of You by Ed Sheeran
3. Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi
4. As It Was by Harry Styles
5. Sunflower by Post Malone and Swae Lee

I doubt you, or anyone would automatically name these five as such without knowing their streaming numbers, because though they may all be individually good, catchy, etc., a stream is not a personal vote for quality alone.

I just realized that Raye is nominated in BNA...this won't be easy for Chappell and Sabrina.

That happens to LITERALLY eveyone. From The Beatles, to Taylor, to Kendrick, to Mariah. Y'all aren't special. 

 

What else do y'all want? lol Beyoncé is privileged and year after year the Grammys prove that. Even her flop ass albums (The Gift) get an insane amount of attention and noms. 

 

Be f+ckinf for real. 

That happens to everyone sure, but seems to happen to Beyoncé more and even if I'm wrong on that, it doesn't change the fact that in the instances it happens to her, someone is underrating her. Did I say that no one else has ever been underrated or did I say that at times Beyoncé is underrated?

 

You ask that I "Be f+ckinf for real"? Let's do exactly that...you've claimed The Gift got an "insane amount of attention and noms" despite being a flop. The reality is it received three nominations, one not being for the music but a video. Are two nominations for the music itself really "an insane" amount?

 

And are you suggesting that flop albums can't or shouldn't be nominated and if so it's just privilege? Do you realize how many AOTY winners peaked lower than The Gift and got more nominations? Your logic is backwards here. And flop or not, The Gift is a great album. It's not like it was an artistic flop.

I always find it interesting, but not surprising, that a person like Beyoncé, who is one of the most successful, acclaimed, revered and powerful artists on the entire planet will still be reduced to nothing more than a woman propped up by a man by misogynists like this. 27 years at the top of the industry means nothing, compared to her less successful, acclaimed and revered husband, I guess.

And then in the same thread we have someone claiming she's never been underrated.

It's kinda hilarious how Beyoncé-detractors hate when the Hive "complains" about Beyoncé's AOTY losses, while simultaneously promoting a logic meant to detract her that, if in effect, would make Beyoncé an AOTY winner.

AOTY - Cowboy Carter

SOTY - Birds of a Feather

ROTY - Espresso

BNA - Chappell Roan

 

I hate that I don't think Charli will win anything outside of genre categories bc brat is arguably truly the AOTY but she won't leave empty handed either. 
 

I think Beyonce and Charli will be the top winners of the night but I think all the pop girls will leave with something. Strangely, this could be the first year Taylor leaves empty handed though. 

[ontherocks]

Sabrina for everything!

[Donquizote]

 

 

 

 

Will the stage collapse if she won AOTY?

[Sexyzinger]

Agora Hills, Lifetimes, We Can't Be Friends 

[Sexyzinger]

I bet you BIRDS OF A FEATHER wins Record of the Year. It definitely has the best odds. No one gets sick of that song.

With literally zero noise and zero impact. The GP can definitely see through her frauds.

[Negiiiii]

Zéro impact yet y'all song of the year is by an artist we « discovered » thanks to her this year (I'm not making that up, he said that HIMSELF)
Zero impact yet y'all been rocking country hats again since she went to the Grammys (see studies of increase in sales since she been Country)
Zero impact yet Balmain / LV been releasing country collections because of her ?
Zero impact yet y'all favs keep talking about her going country? 
Zero impact yet she opened with 400k first week in 2024 ? 
zero impact yet y'all been rehearsing the This Ain't Texas CHOREO challenge in yo messy stinky a$$ room? 
 

zero impact indeed I see.

Cowboy Dusty Carter was boring and Lemonade isn't the masterpiece y'all claim it is! Or the other tired albums she released between them.

Lemoné is simply the best thing ever done by a mainstream female singer in the past 15 years at the very least. Granted the film elevates it 10x and everytime i mention the alberm I'm considering the combo music+visual as it is meant to be consumed.

 

[thatsmydemi]

First time seeing the noms... The pop field and the main categories feel like a copy-paste of Billboard's top 10 + Charli/Beyonce. I don't know how to feel about this, tbh. Success has always played an important role in the nominations  no matter how hard they have tried to make us believe the opposite but this year feels even more success-driven, which is not a good sign imo. 

 

Happy for some names like Raye and Charli. Expected noms for Sabrina and Chappell. Hozier was the biggest snub imo. What happened?  

Expected noms for Beyonce and Taylor. Grammys love them.

[fridayteenage]

I mean the Pop duo/group category has one top 10 hit

 

[WEEKND]

He has been redeemed I fear

 

 

 

 

I actually want this to win Afrobeats. Chris can get R&B lol

 

 

[NextBish90]

Grammys are a joke, that's all.

[GagaChina]

ST is a good one

[Hurem]

How do so many of you not understand that she's the most nominated because she's the only one to get nominated in multiple different genre categories?  Her team simply played their cards right.
