The only female artist that truly has done it is Lorde with Melodrama (and it was incredibly snubbed, so that man totally lost there). But besides Lorde, no female artist really has delivered an exceptional album this last year. This this this!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But besides Lorde, no female artist really has delivered an exceptional album this last year. I'm not saying males are doing a better job, Shape of You is not Grammy worthy. In fact, I don't think any nominees this year were Grammy worthy. I'm saying females aren't releasing the best either. And males? The male artists that were awarded tonight made mediocre albums with generic trash pandering to the GP. So please Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeehawKylie 7,817 Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I bet you next year they'll overcompensate, not unlike they did this year. Talk about being 'behind', as this year they had the opportunity to reward women who have sung openly about abuse. Such a strong year for women in music, it annoys me that they'll probably heavily reward women next year when the competition isn't as strong. Even if they wanted to heavily reward more Rap or R&B artists in the general categories, it's just questionable how SZA goes home empty handed...

In fact, I don't think any nominees this year were Grammy worthy. I'm saying females aren't releasing the best either. It's all subjective, so not even sure if it's worth debating. That being said, Rainbow and Praying should have been included in Album of the Year and Song of the Year respectively. Other female projects that I found quite experimental and strong (and released within the eligibility period): Lana del Rey's Lust for Life SZA's CTRL Lady Gaga's Joanne Tove Lo's Lady Wood Demi Lovato's Tell Me You Love Me Dua Lipa's Dua Lipa The list could go on, they're all subjective. But to say what Kesha or Lady Gaga or Lana del Rey or SZA released during the eligibility period is any less than 24K Magic is a bit of a laugh. There were plenty of strong female albums this year, most just happened to be in the pop-genre which is not what the Grammys intended to reward this year.

What the ****? 2017 was great for female music, and so was 2016. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
