Billie’s Record of the Year win

okay let’s discuss this

First of all, i have to say that her song winning was insanely random, because it sounds so lo-fi compared to some other records in the category which were produced intricately.

In terms of success, it doesn’t have that much of it either, it kept plummeting down the charts. If we talk about impact and popularity, i’d give that to Don’t Start Now.

Here are my two cents,

That award was meant for Say So. BUT, to avoid further backlash for their institution, there was no way in hell they’d give that to a Dr. Luke produced song which will credit him. Their safest pick for her is Best Pop Solo but i guess they wanted to give Harry something, and Best New Artist has always been meant for Megan since she’s had more hits. So she’s left with ROTY, but since they don’t want activists camping in their mentions, they gave it to their recent favorite girl.

Say So? I always saw it as a filler nominee. It never stood a chance and only was nominated due to its success

Savage should’ve won Record of the Year, but Everything I Wanted is still an amazing song. It’s just an unexpected ROTY winner than an undeserving one imo! I don’t think Say So ever really had a chance to win tbh. It was between DSN, Savage, and EIW. But everyone’s entitled to their opinion !

It was #9 in it's 21st week charting, longevity is the main success this song had. And I think it's really beautiful, even if I'm not a fan.

I honestly never cared about Say So and Don't Start Now seemed to me like didn't have that much impact to be considered the Record of the Year. Billie's win is so random and people might have been influenced by her recent win but who knows. It'd have gotten my vote if it was up to me, I really like it. I was expecting them to give it to Black Parade or even Savage, given Megan's hype.

I predicted is as the third option after DSN and Savage, and I think it deserved the win. I love the song even though I would've preferred Dua to win.

the true winner of this category was Blinding Lights, but given the circustances, DSN should've won. everything i wanted was a strong contender for SOTY imo but not ROTY. totally random.

the scars on my mind are on replay.

I legit adore everything i wanted so im not complaining

 

All i know is what song is better than what is so opinionative and subjective i find it odd that ppl argue and get upset with grammys as much as they do

 

U can look at a few technicalities like vocal pitch/range and how well it was sung, market impact and what not... but overall theres no factual right or wrong answer to who should win

 

These awards are neither worth arguing or getting so triggered about nor should they be as big a deal as they are made out to be. They are literally a group of judges opinion that determine the award winner and that does not validate or invalidate ones work :shrug:

I thought Don't Start Now would win this, but everything i wanted is just as deserving imo.

Do you hear that? It's poison.

It’s random af just like their entire nominations process. 

Objectively ( I mean as objectively as you can be for a field that’s based on subjectivity), it should have been blinding light. 
 

Personal choice- should have been “Rain on me.” I would say the same even if I wasn’t a fan of Gaga.

Just as people have mentioned, Blinding Lights is the record/song of the year :yennefer:

This. I mean, Blinding Lights has been the song of 2020 we all thought it was an obvious win. The fact that it got snubbed makes pretty much any other song a weird choice for Record of the Year.
