What's the point if half of them aren't even televised?

Exited for the best asian performance 

JPOP knows how to make stunning ballads and unique songs

KPOP knows how to make bangers

C-POP……… at least she is invited

Most Grammy categories aren’t televised. There’s probably at least 50. Only about eight make it to tv

The Grammys introducing Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance the year after Harlequin is just rude 

[andy232000 13,117]

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.

Notice how they didn't add a Berber, Mughal, or Ottoman category as they know Ariana would steal all race-based designations

Best Asian Pop Performance aka a new category for BTS fans so they can celebrate their band finally wins something.
