highlikegaga 9,024 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 I'm so happy that men of color are running the Grammys this year. Sure, I wanted Gaga to get SOTY and AOTY, but I'm so grateful and happy that the top 5 are filled with males of color or women/of color. (YAS SZA GET IT GIRL) This is the content i'm here for. ed sheeran is nowhere to be found and I'm happy. The aesthetics are gorgeous. Yaas. I hope ed doesn't win sh-t. We truly live in a wonderful time, especially in this political climate. I'm so excited, for real. I was mad at Despacito, but i've accepted it. and i'm happy for Luis Fonsi, who's a Puerto Rican singer. Love me some Kendrick tho. I personally hope he wins ROTY (would be fine if someone else wins) and I really hope he wins AOTY (melodrama is fine by me and the others as well) , but DAMN. was the album of 2017 and y'all know it. Kendrick should win all his awards, he deserves it so much. For the first time ever I'd be totally fine if any of the nominees wins. Because each and every one of them represents something that needs to be represented. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 At times it could be frustrating. I am so happy that every race is getting recognition, but 4:44 LEADING the nominations? Oh honey no. The white guilt + his connections (for instance) are way too much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Also some nominations just do not make sense, the committee is obviously just bored + no longer passionate. Despacito being nominated for ROTY is alright, but for SOTY? An award about the LYRICS? I am sorry, did I seem to forget that most committee members can read and write Spanish? Come on. Stuff like those do not add up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omar Vela 2,744 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Nominations should be about QUALITY not race. Because if you nominate and award someone just because you have to be politically correct...you're racist too! treating someone better than the rest just because of his race it's racist...doesn't matter if it is black, white or beige, chola or orient made Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted November 28, 2017 Share Posted November 28, 2017 Ridiculous thread in my opinion. If white artists had the best albums, I see no reason why there should be a black guy nominated, just because nominations must show diversity. What needs to "be represented" in an award show about music? Quality music or race? You are as racist as anyone else then. That is not how "representation" must be done, as an act of sympathy for other races. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
