discussion Kelly C reacts to Bey country snub and drags country industry

[KevinKDC]

1:30 until end.

 

She mentions that it's "fascinating" since the record was everywhere. She reflects on her experience with country music and how she had planned to fully embrace a country era. However, during a lunch meeting, she was told she needed to completely abandon pop, or her songs wouldn't get radio play. She also shares that she's not surprised by the snub toward Beyoncé, adding that Bey doesn't need the award—she's already winning in her own right.

No wonder why Kelly didn't say anything that could be seen as disparaging about the CMAs.

All those nominations/wins got a huge country star attached to it. Notice how her only two country solo songs didn't get any nominations despite being a bigger chart hit than the song with Vince Gill.

 

Country industry is a cult full of misogynistic racists.

I don't think that means what you think it means... She gave a very honest and relevant response detailed by her own experience. What are you confused by?

I'm confused by how she didn't say it's wrong and racist at how Beyonce wasn't nominated. It's really simple. But seeing as how she's been nominated and she's able to do both country and pop, it contradicts a lot of what she said in the video.

She has no idea who the other nominees are so she can't really say it's racist because for all she knows there could be a diverse nominee 

 

And she clearly doesn't care enough about the CMAs to check for them, reinforcing what she was saying them being irrelevant. You seemingly didn't know Kelly was a former nominee either once again proving her point 

[JoeAg]

yesss Kelly!! well-said and graceful as always  and I'm so glad to hear the Don't Rush praise omg a classic 

[livelikemusic]

Colton was the perfect person for this interview. Two amazing personalities.

[Sharamee6]

Shut up Kelly. Beyonce didn't get any nominations because that whole record is a try-hard mess. Why would they make room for her when there are actual country artists, that eat breathe sleep country music.. They don't do it as a gimmick or for commercial purposes, they do it cuz it's passion, and it's right up their ally.

 

It was embarrassing enough when she won best Electronica album at the Grammys, when you literally had true Electronica artists like Bonobo, Diplo, Rüfüs Du Sol nominated in the same categories. Jay Z has his connections with the Grammys but he can't mess with the CMAs.

who were the other nominees?

[Comedor]

Does Taylor still get support from country industry? Or did they ditch her too?

[SoldierofLove]

Now wait a damn minute. Who is that man?

mostly ditched her for 10+ years 

[loveisdead9582]

… Texas hold'em definitely got some play but beyond that… the hype lasted for a week and then disappeared. Country music is known for being populated by many racist misogynists so it's not really surprising that she wasn't nominated. Texas hold'em should've gotten some nomination somewhere.
