Bailey Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Also... of those years I named, all of their albums aside from Daft Punk's a 76% or below rating on metacritic So you can't determine AOTY based on being critically acclaimed or sales. We'll see. I'm starting to think it'll be Simpsonwell the Grammys much like Oscars have always been political, the stars run their own campaigns to win, in some cases its pretty clear who should win like Alanis back in the day, but in other cases like "Broke Back Mountain" not so clear....I remember when that film lost best picture I was on Gay.com and the white gays were not having it they went on race because "Crash" won Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Eagle Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 And your logic suggests that Adele will win simply because it sold the most, when history shows that isn't always the case. Case in Point: Beck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock & Roll Hall of Game Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 (edited) And your logic suggests that Adele will win simply because it sold the mostI don't think I've once said that EDIT: I have never mentioned Adele's sales ONCE but as I said, sales AND being Critically Acclaim are not factors to determine a winnerI'm gunning for Adele bc She's Adele.

bu. Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 (edited) This is why I'm not expecting Bey to win any of the big categories even if she clearly deserves it. The female Ed Sheeran will win big which I don't mind - I'd rather she lost to Adele than Drake/Bieber:========================================================Associated Press AOTY Predictions: FEKADU: Sturgill, enjoy it while it lasts; Drake, congrats, but this will not be the first rap album to win album of the year since Outkast did in 2004; and Bieber, um, keep on beliebing. Now that that's out the way, let's talk A and B. I could write a thesis, and happily, too, about why Beyonce's tasty "Lemonade" deserves this prize. But unfortunately, she won't win. Academy voters are always happy to give Beyonce R&B awards, but they haven't given her artistic heft enough credit when she's put in categories with her rock, pop and country music peers. And when one of those peers is Adele " who saved the music industry with sales of her "25" album " it's hard to argue against her success. MOODY: If success is what we're measuring here, Adele clearly gets this win. Artistry? As perfect as Adele sounds, "25" was a very conservative album, musically speaking. Not saying that there's anything wrong with putting out beautiful ballads, but "Lemonade" is a true art piece that engaged on a political and emotional level and with each listen revealed another layer. No other album in this category pushed our buttons or made us ponder the meaning of the world like "Lemonade." It deserves to win " but then again, I said that when Eminem's albums were nominated, and they went trophy-less in this category. So gotta agree here: Adele takes home her second trophy for album of the year. ROTY: MOODY: I’m “Stressed Out” trying to determine who’s going to win this category. “Formation’s” seismic funk and R&B was a revelation and really should win here, but will Grammy voters really appreciate a song that references “Jackson Five nostrils” and “Red Lobster”? Moreover, do they really appreciate Beyonce? She only won in a top category one time, and that was for the massively successful “Single Ladies,” and that was for song of the year. Most other times, while she gets the nod, she doesn’t get the win. Adele, on the other hand, had a comeback song that resonated with just about all groups — including the Academy. Adele for the win (again). SONG OF THE YEAR FEKADU: “Hello” wins here.MOODY: Adele all the way. BEST POP SOLO PERFORMANCE: “FEKADU: Hello Adele. And goodbye to the rest of the competition.MOODY: Ummm, wait Mesfin. Did you even consider any of the other nominees? I mean, did you hear the raw emotion of Kelly Clarkson, who can go toe-to-toe vocally with Adele? This might be her year. Ah, who am I kidding! Clarkson’s pipes are amazing, but even she won’t beat Adele here.http://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/beyonce-or-adele-or-chance-the-ap-predicts-grammys-outcome Edited February 10, 2017 by Dammn Bu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
