Well no! Sure there are stans out there that only collect them to collect and/or play them on suitcase players, but if you have a decent setup they're great and have a warmth to them that digital doesn't have And even if you are actually playing them, it's a fun, tangible collector's item.

I'd love her to use State of Grace or a song like Motion Sickness by Phoebe Bridgers as a blueprint for a full album But I'd also love a Michelle Branch esque softer rock/Lillith Fair kinda vibe for a full album, which she's done well before with Aaron (and Jack!)

There were elements of folktronica on evermore and her work with Big Red Machine, I'd love if she went further into that.

Sober Didn't I Between these and this, she truly went out with a bang

I can't stop watching, I love the vibrato she added to the big notes

It's giving

I'm sorry I just couldn't with the clown aesthetic

It's obviously not fair to compare it to other eras because Covid put a wrench in their plans and they needed to get creative with their promo...but yeah, it was frustrating that they didn't seem to try while others were coming up with cool and creative ways to promote during the pandemic. But it seems like Gaga was not in a good place around then so I give her some grace.

I promise that wasn't my intention Was just shook when I saw that clip!

I mean... yes, but in a different way. She's a bigger artist than Sam and that kind of move would absolutely get backlash from older demographics that aren't into that stuff, but she obviously wouldn't face the homophobia and bigotry that Sam faced.

People spending this much time, energy and research to try and convince themselves that Taylor isn't actually massively successful....grass desperately needs to be touched. I'll never understand people who put this much energy into people they don't like.

He's aggresively gen z and can be cringe, but people do way too much on him. I feel like it's because it became a stan twitter joke He's a talented guy.

D&G? Jennifer...

Ella. She's not really my thing but she's got a nice voice and I like her classic Country sound.

Well she said her label (RCA) told her she'd have to completely move from Pop if she wanted to do a full Country album, so she put it on pause because she didn't want to restrict herself like that.

While in Louisiana for a Kanye West concert

Her face is photoshopped ever so slightly to make it look longer, but this was not her best look

Gracie. I'm not a fan but I can sense somewhat more artistry from her, and she wasn't pushed this hard off the bat. I'm really not sensing much depth with Stella. Like...she decided she wanted to do music and immediately got sessions with super talented songwriters and producers, got signed, got big opportunities and is currently being pushed so aggressively it's hard to ignore. Grace Enger, who co-wrote most of Ella's album, deserves the success she's getting

Ehh true, but she's still clearly had a true breakthrough as an artist this past year in the US that I could see as worthy of being awarded. I feel like the songs were bigger than her when she debuted, if that makes sense (especially in the US), but she's made more of a name for herself in the last year. I feel like Charli was more of a known name in 2014/2015 than Zara was in her debut, and she already had a Grammy nom for Fancy.

Water is wet! What's funny is the majority of 2025 was actually her "break" because she insisted on cramming the making of Showgirl during the European leg of her tour the year before for some reason....will be nice to hear her (hopefully) actually take her time on something again. Especially now that she's got a little bit of a chip on her shoulder with the Showgirl reception and will likely pivot. I'm predicting a 2027 release.

As the industry has changed and we now get to watch artists develop in real time and work their way towards a breakthrough...the name of this award makes less sense. It's rare for anyone to pop off right away.

I really don't think anyone will come close to Dolly but Julie Andrews and Stevie Nicks are up there for sure.
