ZBB are pretty great and Esperenza is a lauded niche jazz artist. The rest are thrash except Due and Billie. I mean that most of the public have forgotten about all these names or never made them successful. Bon Iver disappeared out of public consciousness after their breakout and the other ones are just that - niche, only fans of the genres know about them, they're not making hits. You like to think that the winners are going to be names that end up becoming iconic to everyone across the board. It's well known that some of the biggest stars of all time never won the award. They called it really well in the 2000's but fell off after that. MJ, Madonna and Gaga were never even nominated. That's really embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Grammys are supposed to be like the Oscars, it's not just about the hits or Jason Derulo and Pitbull would have heaps. Bon Iver are huge and critically acclaimed. The others are niche but the quality of music is exemplary. It's not supposed to be the PCA. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So were Titanic and Avatar at the Oscars. I actually think The Weeknd 100% deserved nominations but what I don't understand is saying bands like Bon Iver are undeserving because they don't have huge Billboard hits.

I don't mind to artist with no Billboard hit to win, there are many great songs that never reached Billboard chart. But Grammy mostly nominates commercially successful songs and these win. This year for Record of the Year they nominated 5 songs that reached #1 on Billboard and one that reached #2, one Beyonce's song and only one by lesser-known Black Pumas. It means that commercial success is important too so why they treated The Weeknd this way? i'm just a baby and @Juanlittlem is my ❀*·ꕤ. ☁️eternal enemy🌩️。˚❀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just disagreeing with the person who said Zac Brown Band and Bon Iver are irrelevant and undeserving. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
