VforVendetta 2,024 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Unfortunately, that's the academies' way of thinking. More and more as time goes by. Yes. I think that a big change need to happen to the Grammys. They need to unite all commercial gernes in one category. Forget best pop, best hip hop, best RnB, best Rap, etc. Make it: Song Of The Year Record Of The Year Album Of The Year Best Vocal Album Best Traditional Album Best Alternative Album Best New Artist and then keep the categories for the less populated/less known/dead gernes. That way the Grammy's won't be given to all the irrelevants and messes and every commercially successful singeer won't have a pile of them at home. The RnB and Rap singers have like no competition for the Grammy's every year, it has become ridiculous. Look at the Oscars, every actor has like 2 chances every year to get one and so only the best of the best win one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putin 0 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Have you heard of any of Katy's songs that's not on the radio. Her radio songs are there because they're friendly, easy to remember and fun to sing alone. If you put out something abstract and different, I doubt it'll be on people's mind and will listen to it so often (because it's difficult to understand). Anyway, how is Roar not personal "I let you push me past the breaking point/I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything" this can be refer back to one of Katy's past relationship as well. 'Roar' does impact and influence people differently for each person. Katy's self-empower song is about being strong and stand up for the people who dislike you or hurts you, while Taylor's about ignoring the people are hates you. Her live is not amazing, but not the worst. How many time do I have to say this, LISTEN TO HER ACOUSTIC SET. SHE SOUND SO MUCH STRONGER AND CONFIDENT IN THAT SIDE. People stan for her for various of reasons just like Gaga. Katy's music saved some people's live (like me) or make them gain more confident or just deliver some catchy bops. It's different for each person. Ummmm... PRISM is personal though... but other than the first half of the album, it's not radio friendly Taylor's 1989 was targeted for radio, it's main purpose to to deliver fun and catchy songs. Katy no talent yeah... she wrote the first whole album pretty much by herself and most of PRISM (the second half by herself) 1) Roar is so generic. The clichéd lyrics can apply to literally anything bad that happened to us in our lives. Thats the exact goal of Katy´s marketing - to impact as many people as possible and make them buy your song. Its not necessarily bad,but it only shows how much Katy is just a polished product. 2) She didnt write the second half of Prism by herself considering that there are songs of Sia and Sandé and others who had definitely big writing input. 3) She sounds good on acoustic sets. But she is primarily a pop singer. She releases generic singles and she is not even able to reproduce them with average quality ? How can I stan for this ? 4) 1989 was written for radios. As any mainstream pop record. That doesnt take away that fact that Taylor was still able to maintain her characteristic writing style and make this record her own. I cant feel this with Katy´s records. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKE 262 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Katy is not a flop, but her music is the definition of low quality sell-out pop music :koons: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vernier 3,786 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Eh, it's her best chance in all her nominations. I made peace with the fact that she might win :emo: Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whispering 18,865 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 In both the cathgories in which she is nominated there are people who deserves it more tbh. Christina Aguilera and A great Big World need to win in that cathegory imo instead of 'Dark Horse'. http://youtu.be/-2U0Ivkn2Ds While on 'Best Pop Vocal Album' I don't think so, Ariana and Sam Smith deserves more, and also Ed Sheeran I think is favorite. I agree with all of the above! I could see Say Something being a favorite of Grammy voters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
witchcocktor 1,438 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I am just going to be really embarrassed when KatyCats will rub it in everyone's face, and other stan will just go the '' Grammies don't matter '' route. It's like, wow, be adults, this is ****ing stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valextra 58 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I agree with all of the above! I could see Say Something being a favorite of Grammy voters and no way in hell that Prism deserves to beat out the other albums nominated! Exactly, Legend X deserves her fifth Grammy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

degenerate 526 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 The video was viral-ish. People cared more about the video than they did the song. Compared to Birthday where they didn't care about either. Also, Katy has a lot more streaming power than Gaga. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OBEY 57,109 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Katy has streaming power + young fans/teens The song was spinned a lot on radios around the world (even though it did not sell very well) It's a party song that i hear at a lot of parties (free promo) The video is fun/cute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
