JoeJoe Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 This made me emotional . The fact you don't like Beyonce and defended her. That's big I'll take Bey any day over Adele. I don't really like Bey but I don't hate her. I have a few songs of hers on my itunes. I'd never buy a full album. I used to actually like her until she started getting too cocky and stealing so much, it was just a turn off for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add that all up and what do you get??? hey what do you (and you guys) think about this performance when (again) Beyonce was clearly lip-synching on the Grammys, with little-to-no dancing/choreography..my personal favorite part is at 3:07 when she forgot she wasn't singing live and pulled the mic away too soon! ?FUXKING HILARIOUS! ??What's your guys' favorite part?Now what was that y'all were saying about her being able to "outsing Adele any day"...?! ?

J. Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) During the eras that Janet was most profound, she didn't have to rub in people's faces that she was a strong powerful black woman, she just WAS!Only a sexist would praise someone for their "not-so-in-your-face" feminism and denigrate another black woman for being what they perceive to be as "cocky." And only an idiot would harp on someone lipping when their favorite artist isn't known for ever singing live. Edited February 16, 2017 by J.

Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) I 100% agree with Huff. at them bringing up that she hasn't had a hit single in 10 years Tired of the Beyhive making excuses for Beyoncé as if her album was a force to be reckon with. With zero hit singles, a warehouse full of writers, and very little substance behind lyrics, it's no wonder she didn't win AOTY And the race card is the only card they can play bc the album isn't Grammy AOTY worthy. Adele's album maybe "dull" & "boring" and a "repeat" of what she's done but at least she has substance... lyrics that are relatable no matter what race, gender, and/or sexual orientation Edited February 16, 2017 by Game XXIX 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they said everything, best was to let go of the gimmickry! Getting rid of that, and a album with no more than 5-10 writers (opposed to entire songs 20+) would be a real surprise.My favorite part too:Then there is the alleged political statement of Lemonade. While Beyonce deserves credit for encouraging black women to be proud of their black beauty, she had to go and muddle that powerful message with irrelevant lines about having sex and eating at Red Lobster later. It dilutes the power of her social statement, and lyrically, it's awkward as hell.Beyonce, listen to 1999's Album of the Year, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (and take a closer look at what your Grammy-anointed sister Solange has been doing). If you ever dare to release an album that is a stunning a singer-songwriter showcase - one that doesn't need a TV special, a "surprise" release, and a fake tabloid scandal to grab attention - Album of the Year is as good as yours.I agree with it all but those made me praise dance at that truth! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illi Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) While I think she was in contention for AOTY and I was somewhat surprised that she didn't get it, the hive seem to have the biggest sense of entitlement I have seen. They think because Beyonce is ad big ad she is, the industry has to worship the ground she walks on. Now it's saying that it doesn't necessarily have to and the rug is pulled from under the Hive's feet.I don't agree or disagree that she was snubbed. If she was snubbed, it was mostly because she campaigned for the award harder than the others. Outside of that, I don't think that the album was significantly better than any of the other nominees. There were many people that like 25 better than Lemonade.Also a Grammy is a Grammy is a Grammy. Her not having the AOTY will not be some red flag to her legacy, but those 22 will be seen as a highlight.No matter how big you are, not everything is gonna fall on your lap, and it's not the end of the world.

I'm sorry you prefer basic but a spade is a spade. Lemonade was INTENTIONALLY made for Black women. And once again you don't need to have a hit single to win AOTY. Look at Beck.

And once again you don't need to have a hit single to win AOTY. Look at Beck. But the album that won AOTY was made for for everyone....True, but its like a this or that. Monster hit or Massive artistry with whats on the album. A few get by with neither, but most of the winners going back to Stevie had at least 1 of the 2.

Adele's album maybe "dull" & "boring" and a "repeat" of what she's done but at least she has substance... lyrics that are relatable no matter what race, gender, and/or sexual orientation Technically, they were talking about a number one song. Let's not pretend like Top 10 singles aren't hits. It's also worth noting that the writer of that article has a history of being as impartial about Beyoncé as you do with the iPhone.I'll tell you what I'm tired of. The Recording Academy itself defines a Grammy as an award representing artistic or technical achievement. They even specifically state that it is not based on sales or chart positions. We all know that's garbage, but the argument is used very selectively where Beyoncé is concerned. It's not enough that she's at her artistic peak 20 years into her career, now suddenly the Grammys can only validate such creativity with a "monster single" or "less costumes." Save it. As for this committee of songwriters, the article selectively pointed out that several songs on Lemonade are credited to at least a dozen writers, but it made no mention of the number of sampled works, some of which recognise multiple names for a single interpolated line. This article dissects the argument perfectly, but if you'd prefer the TL; DR: a writer count, high or low, doesn’t determine whether a piece of art is good or bad. It’s simply a reflection of how many people are getting credit (and money) for the work. Should that lead to an argument on the artistic merits of sampling, let me point out that it didn't stand in the way of Daft Punk, OutKast, Santana, U2 or Lauryn Hill (to name a handful) collecting AOTY. And your point about lyrical substance is hilarious given Taylor Swift is literally a two-time winner.I viewed this board with fresh eyes recently after a lengthy break, and for whatever reason, I took a look back through Beyoncé's official thread and also Grammy discussions from previous years, and nothing has changed. She is still the only artist that agitates some of you to such an extent that you simply abandon all logic and reason to make what you think is a point. That same misguided fury has now spread throughout this base onto Twitter where a slew of wrong or foolish shit is posted on a daily basis in what must be an impassioned attempt to look as stupid and as misinformed as possible. Beyoncé didn't win, but she's not the loser here. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
