Grammys 2021 Thread (info, predictions, nominations, wins)

[Omiros]

It seems that Dua is performing a medley of Levitating, Don't Start Now and Un Dia.

Levitating was already announced, but Trevor here mentions Dua rehearsing DSN with Bad Bunny.

[KEY9481]

She will perform every song but the one I want to hear.

Cardi made some points

For the first time, I guess I agree with Cardi B here. It's only natural that we like some artists more than others, but everyone who earned a nomination worked for it and deserved their moment to shine.
Instead of having an ego trip, the Weeknd should work harder and maybe get a nomination next time. There's no guarantee for anyone to get an award.
And yes, there are small and independent artists who deserve their little bit of mainstream attention as well. From his mixtape days, the Weeknd should know what it's like not to be in the top 10 for months.

--------

I have to ask a final time, just to be sure: The show is not going to air in Germany, is it?

[mattsky]

I agree with Cardi B.

Many iconic and absolutely brilliant artists have NEVER won a Grammy (e.g., Tori Amos, Kate Bush, PJ Harvey). Madonna was also ignored for years, so was Cher, Britney Spears, and many other mainstream artists. The Weeknd won 3 and scored many other nominations in the past - I don't understand his reaction.

[Omiros]

I still think that the main issue The Weeknd was snubbed was because he took a risk and submitted to Pop instead of Urban. If he submitted in the latter he probably would have had a couple noms. That doesn't explain his exclusion in the general field, but it did play a part.

But also, isnt there a process where the committees can actually switch your submissions if they think it's appropriate or something like that?

Ultimately, I believe both Cardi and The Weeknd's points are true. It's awesome for the unknown and "uncelebrated" artists but that doesnt mean the process is necessarily transparent or fair.

True, although he might have been too close in between and the screening committee allowed him to be in Pop whilst the voting committee didn't like him there? We'll never know.

I do agree that there needs to be more transparency though.

Blu Ivy just won a Grammy

Blu Ivy just won a Grammy

Deserved, a legend at 9 years old, ha mother could never

Final Predictions:

Album of the Year: folklore
Record of the Year: Don't Start Now
Song of the Year: Cardigan
Best New Artist: Megan Thee Stallion

Pop Solo: Don't Start Now
Pop Duo/Group: Dynamite
Pop Vocal Album: folklore

Best Progressive R&B Album: Chilombo
Best R&B Performance: Black Parade
Best Traditional R&B Performance: I Wonder What She Thinks of Me
Best R&B Song: Better Than I Imagined

Rap Performance: Savage
Melodic Rap Performance: Rockstar
Rap Song: Savage
Rap Album: King's Disease

I am personally rooting for Dua to get AOTY, but both are worthy winners. I don't follow the other categories as close., but I hope Kiwanuka gets Best Rock Album.

I'm also hoping for a Black Parade sweep, but considering the lack of promo or music video, it seems very unlikely. On the other hand, Ungodly Hour could pull a Pharell and win Best Progressive R&B Album.

We'll find out in a couple hours.

Kali&Kaytranada YES

[Rolling]

[bm08]

I cant believe Kanye won over those Gospel artists....

[Omiros]

I cant believe Kanye won over those Gospel artists....

Especially after he publicly urinated on one.....

[DnBLover]

Very deserved for Kaytra! Happy for Kali too

[bm08]

This comedian presenter is quite poor, IMO.

[Noahh]

Blue Ivy, legend!

Justice for Black is King, though. Truly a snub!

[BeeBoy]

I cant believe Kanye won over those Gospel artists....

yeah it's kinda disrespectful since it's not really fitting the genre...

[BeeBoy]

Does anyone have aink for the main ceremony later?

[InFamous]

Does anyone have aink for the main ceremony later?

I have one for Germany ironically. Am I allowed to post it here ?

[bm08]

I like the pace in which this is moving...

[Omiros]

How long until the actual show? I honestly thought this was at 11pm UK time, and the actual show at 1am.
