Beyoncé : The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRACE!

The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRACE!

They will use Beyonce, Bruno, Rihanna, Kendrick, and many more for ratings because black excellence puts on a great show. But then when it comes down to rewards, they give it white mediocrity EVERY SINGLE TIME.

And for the stupid f_ucks who think this isn't a race issue, just remember that the last time a black women won AOTY was in 1999. ALMOST 20 YEARS AGO. Both self-titled and Lemonade changed pop culture, and had such massive impact. It just proves that black artists, and black women especially, have to work 50x harder in order to be seen. Adele is a cute girl but you're a deluded moron if you think that depressing sh!t deserved AOTY more than the cultural aware, politically inspiring, and beautiful vision of Lemonade.

Just because I can't kiss back, doesn't mean you can't kiss that.

FCKING PREACH IT!

Funny how the people telling everyone else to shut up are fans of people like Britney and Christina who got steamrolled by Beyoncé and left for dead

And well deserved. Beyonce has the best work ethic in the game. She'll surely outlive your fave as well.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRACE!

YES ULTRA DADDY! Drag these ignorants for filth.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC


deluded moron


Excellent self description of both you and cherry crybaby,

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Actually it fits you the most you trailer park trash. Nobody likes your insufferable ass, and you gloating about black excellence losing to a sad white lady isn't gonna change the fact that you're empty inside.

Just because I can't kiss back, doesn't mean you can't kiss that.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Drag him! Annihilate him! Finish him!

Adele has postpartum depression and always seems to be sad enough to make depressing albums every 5 years and he STILL will continue to lead a much sadder existence than she. Sad. Just sad!!!

Here's to the mess we make.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Cherry, you;re so fcking irrelevant a gnat fart means more than your whole fcked up life. All you can do is rave like the mentally damaged freak you are. Shut the fck up, crybaby.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

What a lame middle school drag. Try harder, racist!

Here's to the mess we make.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Sorry crybaby. Not a racist. But you're definitely a mental incompetent.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC


trailer park trash.


Don't live in one, unlike your famnily. No inbreeding in my family either, unlike yours.


Nobody likes your insufferable ass,


Don't give a fck. Nobody except that brain-damaged parrot of yours, cherry crybaby likes YOUR condescending RACIST ass



you gloating about


Not gloating at all, Just underscoring the FACT you;re a full-of-sh!t sore loser who has to try to drag race into the picture because you have no other defense as to why beybey lostb68, so you grab at straws.


black excellence losing to a sad white lady


Both of which are your RACIST opinions. Not facts.

Go fck yourself, you delusional imbecile.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

DRAG IT

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

He didn't drag a goddam thing except in your imagination

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

I agree with your entire post. It's a very real issue and the Grammys should be held responsible for:

A. Only representing only ONE black artist in their nominations on a regular basis

B. Not nominating more black artists for MAJOR award categories

C. Awarding most of their "black" awards to the same 3 artists so that people don't accuse them of being racist.

But Adele deserved AOTY.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

For what? And do NOT say sales.

Here's to the mess we make.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Sales is the only argument

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC


Sales is the only argument


25 was a cultural phenomenon that broke records and was received VERY well critically. Just because Lemonade got better reviews, doesn't mean 25 got bad reviews. So to say that all it has are sales is incorrect. That's like me saying all Lemonade has is a high metacritic score which has NEVER determined who wins AOTY.

But thats what the Academy said when self-titled lost in 2013. THAT is the issue here. They have no proble bringing Beyonce on th show to perform, but when she consistently releasing groundbreaking albums they are not willing to give her the highest accolade which she deserves. And dont say that she already has 20+ Grammys, because almost all are from typically "black categories".

So give AOTY to a 3-star white album instead of a 5-star black one? Makes perfect sense.



Lemonade had more cultural impact than 25 though. The only thing that makes 25 a cultural phenomenon are its sales. 25 doesn't get nearly as much recognition as a body of work.



Don't worry Beyonce will get the award next time as a PR move by the academy and then they'll go right back to not giving a fvck about every other black artist that isn't Beyonce and all THREE of you will go back to being silent on the issue just as long as Beyonce keeps winning the awards you feel she's entitled to.

If ya'll actually gave a fvck about racism in the Grammys, I would be right there beside you. But this is CLEARLY a "Beyonce didn't win and I'm upset about it" situation and it's so fvcking obvious. This has been going on for YEARS and the only time you get upset (not you Navin) and start ranting about it is when Beyonce loses.

Wrong. Better album is the argument.

Of course you would say that.

Not everyone likes Lemonade. GET OVER IT.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

I've expressed why in several different threads and it's not just sales. It was a RECORD BREAKING album that was more successful than Lemonade. Metacritic has NEVER decided who wins AOTY and you know that. But you want attention right now so. Do what you gotta do.

And I agree with this as well, and have said that the Grammy's cater to Beyonce HOWEVER when it comes down to AOTY, you just can't deny what Lemonade did for black culture, and how it invigorated black women in a time when anti-blackness is on the rise. This is a slap in face as once again the academy doesn't take black issues/culture seriously.

Just because I can't kiss back, doesn't mean you can't kiss that.

Please explain how it did all that, in detail, with real-life examples

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

There is a problem with race and Grammys and it should be brought up but I just don't think Lemonade deserved to win. I think Drake album was better if we ar3 being honest. The best album doesn't always win. Its poltical that Adele won just like it was political that Beyonce was nominated. If you're talking about being fair then neither would have one.

But you *are*, Blanche! You *are* in that chair!- Jane Hudson

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Agreed.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Beyonce and Rihanna don't work harder than anyone. Rihanna is lazy in the studio and stage. She barely functions as singer/performer and its laughable to think she has involvement in her music. Beyonc music is product of other people hard work. She is pretty good as performer but is becoming gimmick.


Adele has real involvement in her music something Rihanna and Beyonce will never accomplish. I don't care about 25. Its laughable to act as if Beyonce is some kind of music genius who deserves to AOTY. Her music is not that good.


I guarantee when Beyonc wins AOTY majority of her fan base want care about the racism issue. Its just an excuse for her fans to complain.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

yup

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Beyonce is very much involved in her music, what are you talking about?? Adele may have wrote more lyrics, but that doesn't mean she worked harder. You could look at the fact that Beyonce actually pushed herself artistically while Adele stayed completely in her comfort zone for one

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

And you could also argue it's a hell of a lot easier to "push yourself artistically" when you have other people writing the songs for you.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Beyonc was involved in the album, it was her version and she molded the songs into what they are, even if she didn't sit down and write all of them from scratch in ber bedroom. Getting help and collaborating is not a bad thing and doesn't take away from the quality of the album whatsoever.

I doubt when you first hear a song the first thing you think of to evaluate it is "gee i wonder how many people are listed on the songwriting credits!"

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

You didn't address my point at all. My point is that it's much easier to "stretch yourself artistically" when you have an army of songwriters and producers helping you create the music. When you are actually creating your own music, it is far more difficult to explore a wide variety of genres and topics.

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Not if you're truly talentedStevie Wonder, Bowie, etc

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Are people really this upset? It's almost as if some of you guys live vicariously through this stuff. I've liked Adele since she was VH1's Artist to Watch back in the day, but 25 was a letdown in comparison to 21. I adore Lemonade and respect Beyonce; however, she lost. Life continues, ya know?

A bit of the old ultraviolence

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Shhhh, CranberryNoVodka, you're making too much sense for these people. QUEEN BEY DESERVES EVERY AWARD IN THE WORLD!!!!!!!

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

I mean, I think she definitely should have won, but she didn't win. Life continues. I'm not understanding the meltdowns people are having because she only won 2 out of the 9 categories she was in or how Rihanna was nominated for 8, yet she didn't win a single award. I get the reasoning behind it (politicking and more), but it's just not that deep lol. People are so ridiculous. I'm just here to laugh at the meltdowns honestly lol.

ALMOST??

Re: The Grammy's only use POC performers for ratings. A f_ucking DISGRAC

Beyonce fans are so unhinged. I thought Bieber's fans were the worst. Beyonce's most "impactful" song is Single Ladies, and no, people saying "Get into formation" is just convenient because of all the racism in this country. The song was timely, but not impactful.
