girlies who cares if LFS is worthy or not, a win is a win :ladyhaha:

We’ll get dragged left and right by swifties who will be joined by the hive, billie stans, olivia stans and bts army (even tho bts arent in the category the army hates us). 
 

It doesnt even feel right. Like out of her discography so far l4s becomes the one to get the biggest grammy. 
 

That said if gaga wins id celebrate:firega:

You guys care too much about what teens say on Twitter. Let them cry, Tony actually deserves it

You can tell most of the people saying Tony and Gaga don’t deserve it are stans who haven’t even heard the whole album :laughga:

No it's called not being delusional. Imagine you're Doja or Olivia and your songs have been e v e r y w h e r e for the past year and you've worked your ass off and then they give L4S album of the year because it's by Tony Bennett. How is it album of the year? How did L4S define 2021? Tell me.

chaeri pls

How is 12/1 bigger than 10/1 11/1 but also bigger than 15/1 14/1 16/1? Not sure I get what these mean :sweat:

Those are the overall odds or chances that each artist has of winning. So even though Joyce selected Gaga and Tony to win AOTY, their overall chances are 1 in 12 (or 8.3%). Whereas Billie has a 1 in 10 shot (10%) and Olivia has a 1 in 11 shot (9%). These numbers though are all just based on the GoldDerby selections across Experts, Editors, and Users.

I'm a math teacher, so sorry for going nerd status on you! Hope it helps though.

Also if i remember right, this year was the first in the HISTORY of the Big Five precursors that an actress hits them all but fails to get the Oscar nod. Our record setting legend! 

That one actually happens almost regularly in at least one or two categories a year. In the Best Actress category it happened to Angelina Jolie, Tilda Swinton, Marion Cotillard, Emma Thompson, Jennifer Aniston, Amy Adams and now miss Gaga. At least she's in good company. :laughga: I think this year was the only one where only one actress hit all previous four.

Although I agree with you that the chance of Love for Sale is low, I don't think 'defining 2021' is a good reason. The Academy celebrates all genres, and there are some genres, at this moment, being less popular. 

 

'Album Of The Year, Explained

Fast-forward to today, when music is enjoyed in a multitude of formats: So, what makes an album eligible for the Album Of The Year category of the GRAMMY Awards? According the Recording Academy official Awards Department guidelines, recordings must contain at least five different tracks and a total playing time of 15 minutes or a total playing time of at least 30 minutes with no minimum track requirement.

Voters in this category are expected to consider the quality and artistry of the collection of tracks as a whole, and this GRAMMY is awarded to any artist, featured artist, songwriter of new material, producer, recording engineer, mixer, and mastering engineer with at least 33 percent playing time of the album.'

I'm not expecting it but I would not be surprised if it happens. We know Tony Bennett is loved by the Grammys. It has been like that for years and years, so it does make sense to honor such a magnificent career with the biggest award of the night. Plus, I think no album nominated made that big of a splash in the industry or pop culture, in general, this year. 

I mean Sour was definitely one of the biggest and most talked about albums of the past few years. But rather than just being a compilation of hits, it was a cohesive body of work. Similar to Billie's WWAFAWDWG, it really felt like the birth of a star who knows exactly who she wants to be and how she wants to look and sound.

It wasnt to my taste at all, but I would definitely like to see AOTY go to Olivia.

King of insane that people think this will win, and I feel like it’ll get a ton of backlash if so. But I’m also an agent of chaos and want it to happen

I don't understand why it wouldn't be right if L4S wins. In long-term view, L4S and whole Gaga and Tony collaboration is much more iconic and legendary than any of those other pop albums which existence will be all forgotten in 2-3 years.

I'm not having fun tonight.

Tbh I kinda want Gaga to win Album Of The Year with her own original music and a massive hit of an album

Born This Way deserved it, but I'm sure there'll be another one with such impact 

 

The same way I'm happy she won her first Oscar with Shallow and not TIHTY

this would be just as meaningful and earth shattering for a number of reasons though. 

 

if the zeitgeist chooses Jazz, then Jazz is in the zeitgeist

Personally I feel like a cover album winning album of the year would need to be a total revelation, not just a collection of faithful covers. But ultimately stranger albums have won this before so it’s not a big deal. Lol

Sheran got an AOTY with a corny ballads project that was often deemed bland by critics so...

Yes winning with covers gonna be called "too easy/ relying on classics instead of taking risks creating original songs" but corny generic ballads are the definition of not taking risks...

And since that he got plagiarism trials falling so he was doing recycling as well, just not giving credits.
