| Sidenote: I don't think lyrics have anything to do with winning a Grammy. Let's not forget, Baby Got Back won one. |
Did you just arrive to America??? (hopefully you are here legally) |

I said this in the other thread, but I thought this was a great moment of comic relief in an otherwise tedious broadcast. This and 45 Seconds were the best parts of the night. The Grammy producers ought to send West giant effing fruit baskets year round and reserve him front row seats into perpetuity.
This is a committee that awarded best album to an album that sold 300,000 copies (as compared to Beyonce's 5 million). Not that it's all about popularity, but c'mon! 300k! Even Beck thought Beyonce would win! (Beck also encouraged West to come back onstage after he smiled and went back.) This is a committee that doesn't even broadcast the rap awards. This is a committee that awarded best metal album to Tenacious D. C'mon! The Grammys are kind of a joke. I'm tired of all the white privilege on display and celebrated at award shows. At least Kanye is abrasive, but he's not wrong. |
| Not "at least," sorry. Meant to say Kanye may be abrasive, but he's not wrong. |
|
Do you honestly care who wins? All award shows are a big celeb circle jerk.
I will say the only thing Kanye West had been correct about was Pres. Bush. |
Beck plays actual instruments and is a real musician. Beyonce just shakes her ass. She's an entertainer; slightly more talent than a stripper. Beck may have not sold as many records but the "masses" aren't the best arbiters of taste (or musical sophistication). |
Seriously! Dr. Dre is a GENIUS. Beat by Dr. Dre A $1.5 billion headphone company (2013). And acquired by Apple for cool $3.0 billion That is an amazing thing. |
Beck did not take his own album very seriously. He considered it a prelude to his more artistically serious next album that he's been working on for a year. Beck himself thought Beyonce would win. He didn't mind that West got up on stage. He smiled and said "come back!" after he left. It's a lovely album with some beautiful songs, but it sure wasn't beautiful enough to make an impression on most of America, many of whom were scrambling to remember anything they'd heard from it before. Nice album? Of course. Album of the year? Come. On. Only if you are an old white dude and your version of heavy metal is Tenacious D. |
| Beyoncé is the most nominated and the second most honored woman in Grammy history; with a total of 20 awards and with 53 total nominations. Beck can have it he ain't got sh%t on the Queen |
Glorified stripper with auto-tuned tracks. Sheeple. |
|
here - something for all the Beyonce and Kanye kardashian people
|
Okay, Kanye you already had your say. Now it's time for others to speak. |
This. |
Stop trying to make sheeple happen. It's not going to happen. |
Sheeple already happened. Five years ago. DCUM is, as usual, old meme. |
