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

[Morningglory]

Folklore winning is so weird. I did predict it before the show, but she's won nothing else tonight.

Has there been another AOTY that didn't win in any other category?

Multiple times.
1969: Glen Campbell – By The Time I Get To Phoenix
1973: George Harrison – The Concert For Bangla Desh
1978: Fleetwood Mac – Rumours
1982: John Lennon & Yoko Ono – Double Fantasy
1987: Paul Simon – Graceland
1989: George Michael – Faith
2011: Arcade Fire – The Suburbs

I think the Best Pop Album category was so strong this year (excluding Bieber)! I think they all deserved to win. The only categories which I absolutely don't understand are Record of the Year and Song of the Year - ridiculous. But good for them!

I'm so happy Taylor, Miranda Lambert, Gaga, Harry, Dua, and Fiona Apple won!

Also good for Beyonce - maybe she's finally give us a rap album, after all she is a much better rapper than most "real" ones.

I see Bee pulled out the checkbook again.


Dua performance is really awesome !!

[Omiros]

I see Bee pulled out the checkbook again.

Go on then, tell us which award she didn't deserve.

Claiming she keeps buying her awards when she's only won a third of her nominations and keeps losing in the General Field will never make sense to me.

Bey has more Grammy Awards than MJ, Whitney, Queen and Prince combined.
You don't need to be an expert to see that her winning amount of prizes is weird to say the least.

Queen Taylor slaying again.

Folklore was the album that deserved the AOTY most, it was a huge success commercially and critically.

She might be favoured by the comittee when it comes to nominations, but in no way are her wins undeserving. Her wins also include Destiny's Child, so that's 28 wins in three decades and a dozen albums, plus collaborations.

Feel free to check her wins and tell me which one you thought was undeserved

The mere fact that she has nearly 30 Grammys in popular categories (rnb is popular) is just weird. I don't think she doesn't deserve, but Whitney / MJ (2 times) / Prince also recorded rnb and they have 4 times less Grammys than her.

A Grammy Award is a nice accolade, that's all. Madonna is one of the biggest female artists ever and some of her albums has more cultural impact than 90% of Grammy winners so if you win one, it's nice. If you don't it's not the end of the world.

[BeeBoy]

I see people woke up bitter today. Most of the artists listed were as diverse and big as she is in catering to diverse categories, R&B, Pop, Rock, Rap, music video music film, visual media, duo/group, best surround sound.. She has it all
Most of these artists didn't manage to have a career as long as Bey too. It's hard to swallow but while they are All legends none of them stayed on top of their game for 23 years except Michael. And he has most wins in a night and out of the bunch for a reason.
One artist winning isn't wrong because others have been wrongfully snubbed anyway. Let's be glad legends get their flowers while they're here

Plus that too, it's an award not an organ transplant

You're 100 percent right. But if the Grammy is to be the most important music award, then they should strive more to make this award more elitist.
Another aspect is that they should only focus on the art, not the sales, but that's a discussion for another day.

I love Beyoncé but, off the top of my head, that Female r&b vocal performance win for DIL2 over Erykah and Mary J, Single Ladies winning both R&b song and Female R&b Vocal performance over Ledisi, Maxwell, Jazmine, Lalah, etc. That was clout and name-check as its finest. But she´s been robbed other times (losing AOTY twice clearly, no win for Music Film despite changing that aspect for good in the last decade, etc) so she compensates, I guess.

WAP coming for a clean sweep next year I see

I dont know tbh, I feel like it's too late by then. it was big now during voting period once the next one starts it's already over a year old that's never good for a song's chances

Which WW smash hit? She's amazing so deserves all she can get. I've been a bit away these past months and I feel like I've missed a lot.

Here are the Betting favourites for some categories:

Album of the Year - Folklore (Taylor Swift)
Record of the Year - Don't Start Now (Dua Lipa)
Song of the Year - Cardigan (Taylor Swift)
Best New Artist - Megan Thee Stallion
Best Pop Vocal Album - Folklore (Taylor Swift)
Best Pop Duo/Group Performance - Exile (Taylor Swift ft. Bon Iver)
Best Rock Album - The New Abnormal (The Strokes)
Best Rock Song - Shameika (Fiona Apple)
Best R&B Song - Black Parade (Beyonce)
Best Rap Song - Savage (Megan Thee Stallion ft. Beyonce)

So only 3 out of the 10 favourites ended up winning, meaning quite a few people lost money yesterday.

I think what happened yesterday was excellent for the main part as things are far too predictable with the Grammy's a lot of the time. I do disagree with the outcome of all but one of the main categories though.
