I could go on). It look Beyonce 700 years to nab one of those, and she won mainly because everybody in that year either won recently, or just isn't heralded as a "serious" enough artist yet Edited June 11 by Nagini 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are far more left field than Gaga who is actually quite safe/family-friendly in the last decade Edited June 12 by Mr S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are far more left field than Gaga who is actually quite safe/family-friendly in the last decade Beyonce won SOTY with Single Ladies... a crowd-pleaser but failed to win for Self-Titled, Lemonade, Renaissance, etc. all albums that were completely deserving and not your run-of-the-mill pop album. She lost for Shallow (the song did not peak in popularity until post-voting) and for Abracadabra as Luther was a bigger commercial success for ROTY. There is barely anything radio-friendly or family-friendly about Mayhem... it doesn't fit into the soundscape of 2025. The Grammys also love to make political statements (similar to other voting bodies in the industry). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
