Gov Hooka 8,008 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Beyoncé is amazing with or without the stupid Grammys. We need to stop using those rigged awards as validation of an artist’s worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingRedd 3,139 Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Yes just as much as when all the world expects Adele to keep winning 5 awards in one night. Why doesn’t anyone bat an eye when Adele can sweep the big four categories anytime she’s nominated yet Bey is “fraudulent” for winning her r&b categories over the course of her career. I’ll wait... but tbh why ask this question you know GGD members live to discredit, hate, and say the word overrated anytime Beyonce is mentioned lol May I Read You? 😎 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chickens in Malibu 7,873 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Yes! Her longevity is impressive. Mind you she's been having N1 hit singles and albums since 1998!!! It's been over 22 years of her killing it again and again. What did you expect? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
androiduser 7,438 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 one simple reason is that Beyonce's music covers a variety of different genres and Grammy categories, so she fits more Grammy categories than most artists.... she has a lot of collaborations + all the Destiny's Child awards, so it all adds up to a lot of wins.

StrawberryBlond 14,995 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Definitely not. She's won far more than most artists with limited artistic input do. Granted, I thought she'd win more for Lemonade but the other undeserved ones more than make up for that. She even won something for that non-event of a joint album, so she's winning them just because she's Beyonce at this point. If she wins for the floptastic Gift album, it's unquestionable that she's winning them on name recognition. It makes me so mad that artists who genuinely write and produce all their own work, who have art flowing through their veins and can make all their work without any help are getting paid dust while Beyonce gets awards just for existing. But hey, a bunch of lesser known names wouldn't get the ratings. The majority of the time, I think they just give nominations to a lesser known bunch along with the big names so it gives the illusion of artistic acceptance of all regardless of chart position and fame. But when the actual winners are announced, we find that's all BS. 22 hours ago, KingRedd said: Yes just as much as when all the world expects Adele to keep winning 5 awards in one night.

Not all the world. I think Adele's just as overrated, if not moreso. I want her to stop sweeping in one night, she's never been all that. I couldn't believe it when she won AOTY twice in a row, I hope they don't go in for a super predictable hat trick. I think she's just winning because of name recognition as well. The reason we sometimes claim Beyonce's fradulent when she wins is because so many of her wins just don't seem to be for the right award. She won for songs that weren't even hits or remotely well known, like collabs with Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder and seems to win awards just for being the most famous in her category and having the biggest song in the category. Recently, she's started being nominated for stuff that has barely made a dent in public consciousness like Everything Is Love and The Gift. Most artists wouldn't be even considered for projects like that, just for studio solo albums at most, but she seems to get a nomination for anything she puts out, no matter how mediocre it is or how well received it is. I've had to witness other albums that got an outpouring of critical and public praise not even get nominated. I think she totally stole Lana's spot in the Best Pop Vocal Album category. Lana's album is hardly pop but the way the academy works, once you've been nominated in a category for your albums, that's where you remain, so that's where she should be. Girl's up for AOTY but can't get even get a nomination in her respective category because Beyonce with her blatantly RnB soundtrack vanity album (with a lower Metacritic score) shafted her out the way. I think she would've totally got nominated under Urban Contemporary Album had it not been for Lizzo. The academy clearly want Lizzo to win and don't want any competition, so they want her to stand out as the biggest name in the category with no competition. Subsequently, Beyonce got put into the wrong category and knocked a deserving pop artist out their rightful category. It's stuff like this that gets me annoyed.
