 If you are going to keep pretending you are countering arguments that I never made, please stop responding to me and just leave me alone. Last time I checked neither of these artists have been struggling to get recognized by the industry. If gender was as debilitating for these major stars as you claim, it is very interesting that Beyonce exists because all of us know that she never gets awarded and is treated like crap because she happens to be a woman. Oh wait, I forgot that she is the most awarded artist in Grammy history and is always being treated like a literal goddess who can do no wrong and it always being introduced with sycophantic speeches at every awards show she attends but we all know that she deserves even better treatment and the only thing holding her back is her gender😉

Your argument makes absolutely no logical sense. It's like saying that because there have been POC artists win AOTY, that means the Grammy's have no issues with race. You're saying in one breathe that the Grammy's issues with race are the real problem, then in the next breathe you're using Beyonce as an example of the most awarded artist in Grammy history which apparently proves that there are no issues in regards to gender. You presented your point, which then got debunked with facts and statistics that you had previously insisted wouldn't be provided, and are now just writing posts of word salad trying to act like misogyny within the Grammy's doesn't exist because Beyonce exists. Get real. And nowhere have I countered arguments you didn't make, quite the opposite. I provided direct counters to your argument plus additional context. It doesn't really make sense to ask someone to leave you alone after inviting a debate but then not being able to defend your position.

Beyonce is the exception rather than the rule when it comes to being highly acclaimed by the Grammy Awards, there are many who would claim though that she is deliberately snubbed in the major categories like album of the year. Again, I NEVER CLAIMED THAT MISOGYNY IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY DOES NOT EXIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CLAIMED THAT IT LARGELY DOES NOT HINDER FEMALE ARTISTS AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF SUPERSTAR THESE DAYS FROM RECEIVING CRITIICAL PRAISE OR FROM SUCCEEDING WITH EITHER A FLAMBOYANT POP PERSONA OR A TONED DOWN IMAGE EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT STRICTLY POP!!!!!!!!!!! Beyonce was just one of many examples I could use. I am tired of talking about something going nowhere and I am not going to respond to you again.

I immediately thought of Billie Eillish but to be honest she does get a lot of flack for not having big production performances. So does Adele. Maybe sis has a point.

billie is kinda a counter example

 

(though I agree with Zara in general)

I don’t think Billie is really a counter example. Her concerts have lots of visuals, she always wears iconic looks that are distinct, and she’s known for her high energy in her shows. She doesn’t just stand in one spot wearing GP street clothes.  She became iconic for neon-green-roots hair and baggy designer clothes too. She does not serve Ed Sheeran, and I think she would not be as well received if she had.

Funny how everything is an exception when you get provided with examples that debunk your argument. I know what you claimed, it just didn't make any sense and wasn't difficult to dismantle.

Why are some female pop artist and the gays so set on feeling like victims of everything nowadays. No ma’am people don’t look down on Pop because its female oriented wtv that means. Are we really gonna pretend that Pop as a genre and female pop artists specifically haven’t dominated the last 3 decades of music? It’s just Pop really fell out of favor since 2019 for a more rnb/hip hop music landscape. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have female artists being celebrated for pop music nowadays, Taylor, Dua, Olivia, Billie have all gone to see massive success doing Pop music.
