I've been away for long but damn...
Losing AOTY is not nearly as horrific as losing Urban Contemporary to... Pharrell. LOL WTF?
If it had been to Jhené I'd be fine with it, but Pharrell swiping all the awards??? Biggest joke I can remember.
Well, whatever, that Stevie performance blew me out of the park, and totally made up for the Grammys' underwhelming performance.
I quite enjoyed reading back a few pages after watching it and read MonaBlissa's nonsense comments about her not being soulful. I kinda giggled a bit, I wonder how he/she feels now.
Oh... And how f**king hot does she look?!I am the maniac, I am the ghoul

Beyoncé Didn't Get Robbed Of A Grammy, She Got Robbed Of Her Respect
The comments made by Kanye West about Beck following this year's Grammy Awards stirred a media storm that rekindled the debate over 'Ye's alleged arrogance and lack of respect. For the pop culture critics, who consider Kanye to epitomize an aggressive defiance of order and convention, claiming Beck was undeserving of his Album Of The Year victory appeared to be a proverbial smack in the face. Calling out the committee for their presumed misunderstanding of artistry sent shockwaves throughout social media, immediately shaping the narrative as a personal shot at Beck. Yet, the important point that got buried beneath his free speech is actually an incredibly relevant one.
As seen with many artists who share Kanye’s passion, battling with an almost uncontrollable urge to share what they believe is true, tact doesn't exist. Consequently, what gets lost is the message. In this instance, Kanye was explaining that art is a process—an evolution of an expression. Creativity is taking an idea and making it grow until it naturally becomes something larger than life. Therefore an album, as Kanye practices it, is a complete body of work made to capture emotion and move a generation. That body of work tells a story, not just for the artist, but the people who experience it. Art makes a statement. Art is a movement. Art is an extension of purpose. In Kanye’s eyes, as an artist, your job is to create with the intent to take people somewhere. Seeing it through this scope, understanding the unprecedented results of her album, nobody deserved to win more than Beyoncé.
Kanye West Clarifies Beck Comments, Plans To Collaborate With Taylor Swift
Beyoncé released a self-titled audio and visual album. Each song is matched with its own video, produced at the highest quality. After releasing the album without any direct promotion and eclipsing 500,000 sales the first week, her project has sold over 5 million worldwide copies to date. More notably, it carries three certified hit singles, including the Jay Z-assisted theme song of 2014, “Drunk In Love.” The momentum fueled two world tours, showcasing a variety of styles and sounds to highlight her versatility and growth.
Beck released Morning Phase, a great album that he wrote and produced. The multi-instrumentalist has long been respected for his musicianship and exceptional writing prowess. Even with the support of alternative rock enthusiasts and industry tastemakers of the acoustic sound, his album sold just over 400,000 copies domestically prior to his Grammy win. Considering his music represents the genre, both his album and artistry made minimal cultural impact in comparison to Beyoncé. This evident disparity is not only the root of what inspired Kanye’s remarks; it’s the foundation of a less popular truth.
Following in the footsteps of Michael Jackson, Beyoncé is the greatest entertainer of our generation. While such a definitive statement may sound conflicting to some, building a credible counter-argument may present an even greater challenge. Statistically, her track record consists of an astounding 20 Grammy Awards, eight Billboard Awards, and six American Music Awards, stemming from over 90 total nominations. In addition, she's accounted for over 30 certified #1 hits atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart, stamping a nearly 15-year streak. She's effortlessly soldout the biggest arenas and stadiums in the states, while evolving into a global superstar who has shut down the most iconic venues abroad.
Why Beck Shouldn't Give Up His Grammy
In the context of influence, she's been both a trailblazer and trendsetter. From embodying a fearless demeanor and incredible work ethic, to capping historic moments like Barack Obama's presidential inauguration and the Super Bowl halftime show—Beyoncé is an anomaly of talent, drive, class and style. Her career credentials claim a distinction reserved for legends.
Her long list of accolades alone don't serve to argue why she should have won Album Of The Year. For Beyoncé, at this point, it’s not about taking home another gold trophy. Awarding Beyoncé on a platform like the Grammys is about music placing Beyoncé in her proper position as the greatest artist of this era. For those that acknowledge her nonchalant attitude toward not winning, it likely resonates as an act of showmanship. Yet, there's a level of humility that comes with consistently achieving the unprecedented, only to have doors that should be wide open closed in your face. That's the true definition of a glass ceiling, like when Michael Jackson was the hottest pop star on the planet but MTV refused to play his videos.
When the veil of speculation is removed, music's behind-the-scenes board of directors aren’t ready to give Beyoncé the recognition necessary to end all discussions. When discussing racial challenges plaguing the music and entertainment industries, what tends to get overlooked is the aspect of cultural significance. Black music, primarily categorized as hip-hop, R&B and neo soul, undoubtedly, powers pop culture. The artists at the forefront dictate the values, lifestyle and interests to America’s youth. To deny this is not only harmful, but presents a roadblock for the future of Black music. Until these topics are appropriately addressed, the Grammy’s will continue losing value among both artists and fans, leaving icons like Beyoncé to, unfortunately, suffer from the mishandling of legacy.

Why do these judges set a higher standard for BEYONCÉ but an average standard for everyone else. Well, that's the feeling I get!| Ciara | Beyoncé | Janet | Toni | Kelly R | Leona | Tinashe | Whitney | Brandy | Monica | Tevin | Mariah | Britney | Tamia |Comment
