imnotyourbabe10 6,043 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Where is Joan Rivers when you need her in this era of terrible award decisions and 45's "Presidency?" She would have made it so much funnier! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Bruno Mars gets all the important awards, people say that Grammys dont suport WOMEN (even tough last year they gave Adele, a woman, lots of awards)... This award show CANNOT PLEASE EVERYBODY, IT IS JUST AN AWARD PER NOMINATION, THEY CANT GIVE AN AWARD TO EVERYBODY. IT IS NOT OPRAH... This year and last year were different though. In both cases the Grammys just seemed to play it safe (they do this a lot, but those two years were not the right ones to do that). I love 25, and I love 24k Magic, But Lemonade, Melodrama, Damn., and ****, even 4:44/Awaken My Love, **** on those albums. 24k Magic is full of GREAT bops, and I’m not mad he won Record/Song, But Album Of The Year is where things are supposed to change. It should be quality/impact on a social level, over sales. They actually used to be really good at that, but ever since Macklemore Beat Kendrick for Best Rap Album In 2014, Things just haven’t been the same. I’m a simple guy to please, if you like Melodrama, we chill. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the charts, and what was big, it was music by men. There have been MANY years where women dominated music, and this year is not one of them. I just dislike how people quickly jump on the “sexist” train cause it’s the popular thing to do now. For example, 2010 the winner of song of the year and record of the year were both different women. It sounds pathetic and desperate for people to say women were attacked by the sexist Grammys. It just wasn’t a great year for women, and that’s okay no one screamed that the Grammys hated men when Adele won everything in 2012 Or in 2010 when Beyonce won like everything and Gaga won a couple among other women It's like u said, not a good year for women. I think it's a bit of a reach It's true the industry and radio and public lately has neglected women and so theyve performed very poorly last couple years and got less exposure. That isn't the Grammys fault tho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRedd 3,139 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 This is a hard one only because Beyonce and Adele sweep like consuela when they go to the Grammys. I don’t necessarily have a problem with the main categories. I’m ok with Bruno winning and how it was set up; however, it’s the statement the president of the Grammys made about women needing to step up that was uncalled for. I don’t want to be that person that gets mad if a man wins because... well I’m a man May I Read You? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, look the other sde: what would have happened if Lorde got 6 grammys last night and Bruno 0 awards? People would have said that the show is racist, that they only award White people (that happened last year with Adele/Beyonce). You cant PLEASE everyone...

Miel 15,009 Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 I’m most mad about the statement release by the President/VP. I was already petty at all the award choices. His statement really made it all that much worse, though. 3 points in and ready for more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no coincidence the large majority of the nominations are popular songs and albums in each genre of awards. Obscure, unknown artists and songs are not common. There are a few surprises every year, but that is a tiny minority of nominations. My point reflects the facts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just wasn’t a great year for women, and that’s okay no one screamed that the Grammys hated men when Adele won everything in 2012 Dude, you're so monumentally wrong. 1) Grammy's allegedlly do not reward sales and chart positions (that's what, well, charts are for). 2) If they did, then I want justice for "Despacito", even though the racists in this website love to throw hatred towards latin music's most memorable song in years. 3) Considering that the Grammys are supposed to reward musical excellence and craftsmanship you can't possibly mean that there hasn't been great music made by women this year, because then you're straight up being sexist yourself or you just haven't been paying attention. I promisse you there has been tons of great music created by women this year. 4) There's no such thing as reverse sexism (or racism, btw). Sexism and racism exist inside of a system of multiple forms of oppression that incide over women and black people and such oppression has deep historical and cultural roots. It's white men who have dominated, exploited, enslaved, harmed women and black human beings not the other way around. SO there can't be sexism against men because it is precisely being a men that grant an individual a huge amount of historically built priviliges.
