Melbourne Monster 225 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 The Grammys introducing Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance the year after Harlequin is just rude 7 1 1 16 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy232000 13,176 Posted June 16 Share Posted June 16 Most of these are kinda unessesary. Best Asian Performance seems like a cop out because the Academy refuses to recognize Kpop in their typical categories. Its segregation disguised as progress lowkey. ****ing rude to create Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance after Harlequin. Gaga would have snatched like 3 extra grammys off her jazz records alone. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Im 50/50 on this. I could entertain the idea that KPop is distinctive and big enough to have its own category, but racializing it rubs me the wrong way. In the end its just pop in korean, truest inclusion would be for it to compete in the normal categories. Its the same case when they made Contemporary Country Album a thing. While it could be inclusion in a sense that its giving them a table on the room, its also simultaneously saying you can't sit with the "normal western acts". I get both sides 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
