jacs vs looser 2,721 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Shallow, aka the lovesong of our generation, has been charting in the Hot 100 for 37 weeks already. THIRTY SEVEN WEEKS. Even this week, this "late" in the game, it managed to get back to the Top40 ... yet during the 2019 Grammys it LOST THE MOTHERDUCKING Song of the Year award to This is My Only #1 , which only charted for 17 weeks. Now, I get that it lost ROTY, we all saw that coming, but I mean, COME ON!! HOW. WHY. WHAT. And yes, I know she got the Oscar and whatnot, but it seriously deserved SOTY at the Grammys too. Sorry, I just needed this out of my system. I guess homophobia is just still well and alive. Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulk 890 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Shallow wasn't that huge back then (peaked at 5#), that's why. Although they said shallow would get SOTY if Oscars came before Grammys. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PunkTheFunk 121,511 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 It'll win SOTY next year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freebit 6,069 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 People might have genuinely liked it, but it was also a woke song that probably made voters feel cool and ~aware for voting for it in a P4K kind of way. Because of that, it was able to withstand the plagiarism stuff too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
River 90,904 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I hope they will re-release it as Shallow (Jackson, Where Do U Think U're Going, Boy? pop bop version) so they can send it again for a nomination and this way it can win SOTY, ROTY and others Je ne parle pas français but I can padam if you like Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KatieJudasGaga4 67,907 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 @jacs vs looser The Grammy deadline was on January 9th or something and Shallow didn't make any impact yet worldwide and only won the Golden Globe before the Grammy deadline. And i'm sire it would've won it if the deadline was extended to early February, but the deadline was way too early. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz 11,923 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 If only the Oscars happened before the Grammys. Snubbed, really. Inside, we are really made the same. 🕊 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChromaticaPunk 2,803 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 chart success doesn't determine winning an award lol. every basic edm song will be winning grammys like no tomorrow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it just feels to me like the categories that are marked as "... of the year" should take both success and quality into consideration, as their name implies (to me, at least) that they were "big" during that particular time period. But as people before rightfuly mentioned, Shallow's success and longevity were not as clear back then as they are now. Still, I know Gaga will win more Grammys in the future, I just hope one of them is from the main categories, gurl deserves it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncho 27,241 Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Yeah its a shame. But you know whats worse than that? Bad Romance not being nominated for ANY big category  a travesty I hope Gaga can snatch one of the main awards someday (SOTY, ROTY, AOTY) but its gonna be hard Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
