Dominic 11,922 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Not really surprised that Lorde wasn't asked to perform. Her performances are... Otherwise I aren't that fussed. The Grammy's are pretty dull. Even Million Reasons isn't getting me hyped this year surprisingly The hardest thing in this world is to live in it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiona Apple 13,006 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 It makes sense for Taylor to not attend since both of her nominations are not from her current era. Ed won't win anything,so it's a good choice for him to not go. However Lorde should go I am really rooting for her Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas P 18,479 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Why Lorde? I was looking forward to seeing her perform. She was one of the nominations I was happy about (mad she wasn’t nominated for more though). This sucks. And Taylor, this would of been great promo for your album that’s starting to fall off of it’s huge success. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill.

AlexanderMagno 10,746 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 But Lorde has to win Album of the Year. Seriously, if she doesn't win it, it's because she didn't show up, it must be and that's really stupid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RA chose Melodrama as a nomenee even if it didn’t have the most amount of votes just to have a female contender on a telivised big category. It’s more convenient to give the award to someone that’s there so they actually accept the award and get fans to see them. If the Grammy committee can bypass vote numbers for AOTY I’m sure they will want to have an actual present winner in most of their televised categories. Now, Pop Vocal album was not televised for the past two years so we are screwed with that one, but Pop Vocal Performance I believe it is. Not saying she’ll win but she has better chances if Ed gets on the RA bad side You have to understand that they’re only allowed to do that for the nominations round. They have no say in who wins and who loses in the final voting round cuz it’s decided by the 13,000+ voters and it’s going to be more this year since they’ve introduced online voting. So it’s going to be based on purely popular votes for all the categories for (eg the pop categories are the only category in which everything is purely popular in all the voting rounds that’s y Lorde wasn’t nominated for pop album) Honestly it doesn’t matter if Gaga attends and everyone else doesn’t, she’s not guaranteed a win. but I will say, rumors about Ed will obviously go around the industry and everyone will be put off by his attitude and the 13,000+ people hopefully will understand what an egotistic asshole he is and not vote for him. Sp that’s a plus imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrawberryBlond 14,862 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 I understand why everyone except Ed is not going. If Ed doesn't attend, that's really going to prove how egotistical he is because having the biggest album of the year and then getting 2 nominations still means you have a big chance. Therefore, the only reason he's not going is because he thinks he deserved more and thought "screw your awards." That attitude is going to down really badly with the academy. I can understand Lorde being a no-show - having your only nomination being in AOTY is bizarre and being the only female, she likely knows she only got there because there needed to be a female nominee. Justin's not nominated for anything, so it's no big deal (if he isn't asked to perform) and Taylor isn't nominated for anything from her album and her only nominations are for non-televised awards, both of which she has a slim chance of winning. But she must also be majorly pissed that LWYMMD failed to get any nominations. Shake It Off got 3 and her lead singles from Red and onwards have always been nominated, so she was likely expecting it. This is why she always releases her lead just before the deadline - maybe the academy's getting wise to her game? This snub must have hit her like a ton of bricks. I've been noticing that she's really struggled to win Grammys of late. Fearless was her big peak with 4 wins and then she fell off. Speak Now won 2, she won for Best Song Written for Visual Media, Red won nothing and 1989 only won 3 (one of which was for Best Music Video) despite having 10 nominations. Now she can't even get a nomination for her record-breaking #1 lead single. She must really have the academy in her bad books right now. Let's not pretend this is the People's Choice Awards, but wow, if this many people are turning up their noses at invites despite being nominated, it could really work in Gaga's favour. It'll show she's not too proud to perform and turn up and honours the awards. People who diss the ceremony famously stop getting nominated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Gibson 3,489 Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Guys, the Grammy voting ended on December 21st. Way before any performance was announced. The Grammys invited people like Gaga and Kesha because they have some hype and people like them but the producers don't control the over 20.000 members' votes. They dont know the results now, but are calling nominated artists who could attract audience. If they had the chance, Ed Sheeran would be performing but he's bailing on them. And his chances of winning haven't slimmed because it's possible that many voters picked him since he was snubbed in the main categories. Even though the Grammys have many frauds, they're not the VMAs and DON'T change the results according to the people attending. Also, saying that Gaga's categories weren't telecast in the last years isn't a good point because they change that every year. The reason they didn't present Pop Solo Performance and Pop Vocal Album on the show these last two years it was because the winners in those categories had also won the general field and they wanted to maximize the most of people receiving awards during the show andd not repeating the same artists going up on stage many times (But Adele did anyway as she won the three biggest awards). However, all the people nominated in those categories this year, are not nominated anywhere else, unlike the past years. So it would be good to show it on the telecast because the pop field is the most 'famous' one. Unless the winner doesn't attend. If on the day of the Grammys we get the news that Pop solo and Pop Album won't be presented, be sure that unfortunately Ed Sheeran had won both Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
