The rock, metal and, to a lesser extent, alternative noms are like a player in charades making the jerkoff motion.

I am rooting harder for Bo Burnham than I am for anyone but Japanese Breakfast.

 

The most arbitrary awards show releases a list of arbitrary nominations. But, good to see Jon Batiste get so much love, he really is one talented artist. The sole fact that Thot Shit is nominated for anything is proof that this is a farce.

 

Tony Bennett should get the record of the year simply for the run he has had and because it's his last album

 

No disrespect to the artists that I love, but that Best New Artist category is a joke.

 

What is something I wouldn't expect to be nominated for a Grammy in 2021, Alex?

 

A bunch of those artist have been putting out music for years, so I have to agree with you. I'm not sure what the criteria is for that award, but I think if you've put out 3 albums like Glass Animals, you're not really new, considering all of their albums charted in the top 200.

 

I know with a lot of other awards shows the only criteria for the new artist category is that they haven’t won/been nominated for an award before, so even if an artist has been active, and even successful, they’re still “new” to those awards,

 

It normally goes by when the act got into the mainstream. "Heat Waves" was Glass Animals' first song to hit the Top 10, so they were bound to get nominated. Japanese Breakfast didn't get on the radio until this year, too.

 

I read that the restriction on new artists used to be a max of 3 albums or 30 singles. They stopped doing that with this year.

 

If I never hear Heat Waves again...For several months I couldn't turn on my car (radio plays before Spotify through Android Auto kicks in) or go anywhere public without hearing that song.

 

I will never get tired of Heat Waves Song bangs
