There will not be any competition, right 25 was released in late 2015 so it will be nominated in 2017 grammys Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilMonstaa 31 Posted January 17, 2016 Author Share Posted January 17, 2016 Okay a lot of people are using the Beck/Beyoncé thing as evidence of the Grammys being unpredictable but you're missing the critical element that is the Grammys voting process. Album of the Year is voted by all members of the committee, coming from a range of genres. The main reason Beck won was not because he was better than Beyoncé, but because of the diversity of the nominees. Last year it was Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Beck, Sam Smith, and Pharrell. Beck was the only one who wasn't mainstream, the only one in the alternative/Rock categories. The rest were pop, and arguably urban, but more pop nonetheless. The voters who come from pop and urban backgrounds were split in their votes, as is expected. Some voted for Beyoncé, some for Sam, some for Ed etc. But everyone from Rock and alternative backgrounds would have more than likely voted for Beck. They had one nominee who created music they loved. Obviously he would get the most votes. That's how it happened. In saying that, that's why I feel Blackstar could be a key player. The same thing could happen. All the pop releases would split the committee's votes, whilst the niche that Blackstar fits into would unanimously vote for him. That's not even including the sentimental factor of Bowie. I'm obviously hopeful, because I believe in Gaga and I know she can create magic, and at the same time, I'm not so worried for the above reason; I know that sometimes the results are just inevitable, like in the Beck/Beyoncé case.

In people's minds 25 sold too well not to get every Grammy there is. All the awards it gets will feel like a natural thing. The ones it loses will prompt people to think that it was an unfair result and that it should have won (and maybe people will become hostile with the winner)... I mean, unless people turned on Adele in the same way they did to Taylor, Gaga, etc... ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you.

Hence the Beck/Beyoncé thing that happened at the previous Grammys. If Gaga pulls of a very high quality, critically acclaimed album that is concise, has a strong meaning, thematically and visually comes together nicely throughout the tracks, I can't see why she won't be up for a strong fight against Adele. She has as much chance of winning a Grammy as anyone with Adele in the same category as long as the album is up to scratch. An album where the critics and public say 'yep Gaga did a brilliant job on this record, she deserves the award." Adele may be a juggernaut with sales but sales don't mean everything. Again, look at the Beck/Beyoncé thing. Quality over quantity I suppose?? I also have heard mixed things about 25. It's not like it is a revolution/phenomenon like 21 was so anything is possible really. If you read the rest of my opinion instead of disregarding it, I said that despite the quality it does not matter when it comes to Adele. Adele is everyone's sweetheart, if she is up against Gaga for the Grammy's it is obvious who will win. Even if Gaga did win, she will get slated to **** for "stealing Adele's Grammy's" yada yada. In my messy era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, everything is up to Gaga and the quality of the album we didn't hear as of yet. Adele isn't unbeatable. 25 isn't even as good as 21, imo it has only one song (Hello) that is a hit single material and it already started falling on the radio. I'd prefer to think everybody forgets about Adele when it's time for Grammy's Feb. 2017 (more than a year from now). After BTW everybody was tired of Gaga. Now she has a completely opposite aura surrounding her. IF she releases material on par with TFM or BTW, I think she'll have strong chance of beating 25 with more than one award. I don't know abut Bowie, but I think giving posthumous awards to people for only their newest material (and not for entirety of their career) out of sentiment is just lame. They don't need it, they're not here with us anymore and won't know they got an award (lol). So I hope Grammy's won't be lame about it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oregano 103 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Yall talking and finding faults as if 25 is the enemy of the human race, an ISIS operation or something. Adele is an amazing artist and 25 is faaar from mediocre, even better than 21 in some aspects. Hello is maybe slightly declining in popularity but it is bound to happen after 10+ weeks and it is already by miles the biggest hit this quarter, and that cannot be forgotten. As WWWY looms around the corner Adele will snag every attention untul 6 months after 2017 Grammys. May I̶S̶I̶S̶ Adele prevail! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a successful era is like x1000 more important for her at the moment. And the best way to achieve it is to release a lead now that she is getting a lot of positive attention for all the awards Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The truth of the matter is that I'm pretty anxious for her to come back to pop music ATTENTION: (bad) jokes and sarcasm are still a thing, so don't take everything I say literally. Thank you.
