[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the Taylor v Beyoncé people are starting to lose sight of the problem with the Grammys. I like both artists; I don’t really listen to either one. But I can appreciate both of them, and I do listen at least once to many albums. I think we even had a discussion on this board once about “perfect albums.” Not the best, but ones that you cannot imagine improving. To Pimp a Butterfly was mentioned iirc. I went and listened to the whole thing twice. Is it my kind of music? No. But I could see why it was so well-regarded. That’s why Beyoncé should have won AOTY for Lemonade. And I actually think Taylor deserved hers for Folklore.

It’s also why I cannot get too worked up about who deserves to win. All the nominees were deserving in some way. But when the votes consistently reward pop music over other forms, it makes the award more and more meaningless.

IMO, maybe there shouldn't even be general awards that span all genres.  It really is a situation of trying to compare apples and oranges.  How can you hold up a jazz album, a pop album and a rap album and say which is the best album?  They are three entirely different things.  Voters just pick based on what type of music they like best, and pop generally wins because that has the biggest voter base.

Of course, they'll never do that artists want general awards and the grammys enjoy the attention paid to those awards.[/quote]
