his idgaf attitude just rubs me the wrong way, I've heard his songs a bit they're fine I guess but like shower get a haircut you're playing arenas and award shows
I looked back at the AOTY Grammy winners and this is the best album to win in at least a decade. Although 1989 comes close, and I do think 21 deserved it as well. It’s my personal favorite album that has won since Graceland which was 1986.
1989 is good but I can’t believe it won over TPAB I mean, I actually do believe they did that. I just wish they didn’t.
- Leas tributes - More awards given our (it seemed like they gave out less than 10 awards on television) - More time for winners to actually give a speech, after winning the biggest award in their respective careers - No cutting people off, unless they are saying horrific stuff that needs to be censored - Move the “In Memorium” segment to earlier in the show when more older folks, who know more of the people who passed away, are watching. Those are some things I would change to the Gramny Awards if I could. What would you change if you could change things about the awards show?
TPAB losing will probably always be the biggest slight in my eyes and I will never forgive or forget it
I dont really understand thinking that Post Malone mumbled through that. He seemed pretty clear and in tune to me. It was the Red Hot Chili Peppers performing their flop from like three years ago that made no sense to me. They really gotta pare down these tributes though.
Less tributes and performances all together. Would have much rather let Dua and Kacey give longer speeches than watch diana ross shuffle around for 8 minutes telling people its her birthday. Also, you can do a tribute to something in less than 15 minutes with less than 10 different artists.
To Pimp A Butterfly is definitely the biggest snub in recent memory, but there’s so many of them that could qualify, like U2 beating Late Registration, Mumford and Sons beating Frank Ocean, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” not being nominated while Bruno Mars was. The list goes on.
I think it's odd that they don't bother to televise the rock category but still opt to have a band like Red Hot Chili Peppers play. Feels like they should just keep the performances in line with the categories people seem to care about the most. Like if they're gonna air two rap specific categories there should be more rap performances to align.
I liked the Dolly Parton tribute but the rest were overkill. Yea it is really kind of odd the Red Hot Chili Peppers were there of all bands. Just so random who was asking to see Dark Necessities tonight.
I watch the Grammys every year and this was easily my least favorite in recent memory, both in performances and wins. Super thrilled that Donald did so well but Cardi B was literally the least deserving of the five rap albums (not that I don't like her, I do) and Janelle Monae 100% should have had AOTY
Bruno Mars beating Kendrick and Lorde might have been my least favorite thing. TPAB was an awful snub, but I would take 1989 over 24k Magic a hundred times over. Whatever the case, Kacey Musgraves winning AOTY just rocks. I didn’t know it was that widely esteemed so what a cool surprise.
Today, February 11th 2019, I am realizing that Brandi Carlile is a new artist that I have been reading as Belinda Carlisle any time that her name has popped up over the past few years. EDIT: Oh okay, I know "The Story"
The Grammys now treat rock like they used to treat rap 15 years ago. Kind of alarming that they aired zero rock nominations but aired Rap Song, Rap Album and R&B album. Not to say those three shouldn't be aired, but so should a few rock nominations.
I like that song, and that album is very underrated, but I'm STUNNED they played anything off that album and not one of their massive hits from the 90s/00s with Post. Like, performing a song from 2016 that most people don't remember and/or never heard in the first place was very strange.
The Grammys lost me when Arcade Fire didn't even win their own genre category but yet somehow took home the overall Best Album award.
they're out of touch anyway, no idea which bands deserve a spotlight in much of any genre. Would love if the grammy's died out.
