All the critical acclaim, the entertainment/cultural hype, reviews all year has gone for Beyonce. That's just the truth. Does that mean she will win it no but I don't think she has bad chances. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 I'm not expecting major winsI see SOTY or ROTY in the cards for her. Adele and Sturgill are the front runners for AOTY imo. Beyonce is the third option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidfresh832 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 lemonade deserves AOTY the most but oh well. The others are safer choices. Adele has sales and songwriting, and no negative press etc really. No baggage or political leanings.Beyonce deserves it more imo, she has a better album hitting on several genres even country and still fitting together well as a project. But there's the political stuff, the rougher edge to the project. Voters might just want the classical, safer options. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am not hating on 25 as an album either. But, it isnt groundbreaking, or wildly original or even the best album of the year. And clearly we all know that is not really a criteria for Grammys in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kidfresh832 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 right.. bc Lemonade is groundbreaking and/or wildly original? As if Beyoncé is wildly original periodIt's Adele thoIts more original and cohesive as an album that any of the other nominees. Its riskier, she takes a stand on issues and isn't scared to piss people off. Whether its old white republicans who forgot she was black or guys in general by having such a female centric album.And I giver her credit for the visual album which is excellent imo. I wont be shocked if she wins and wont if she doesn't. Just depends what voters are going for not that complicated. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Wonder Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 The 100 Greatest Award Show Performances of All Time1. Beyonce, Lemonade Medley (MTV Video Music Awards, 2016) If you think we need more than half a year's distance to declare Beyonce's Lemonade melange the pinnacle of the award-show performance, maybe ask presenter Serena Williams how long she thinks tennis fans should wait after her latest major win before declaring her the GOAT. Fact is, Bey's 18-minute performance was so far ahead of the pack that comparing her to the rest of award show history feels like sizing public-access TV against Game of Thrones; the scale is just so wildly different that the comparison does no one any favors.Truly, Beyonce's only real competition here was herself from two years earlier. But while her self-titled performance in '14 was still essentially a medley, this was nothing less than one-act drama in which Bey was star, playwright and conductor, taking a baseball bat to any performer who dared laze their way through a performance, thinking sheer star power would put them over. It was memorable and meme-able, technically proficient and emotionally enthralling, unpredictable and thoroughly un-followable. It was Beyonce at the VMAs, and it gets no better than that. http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/grammys/7677099/best-award-show-performances-of-all-time?utm_source=twitter*waits for the fumes* 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not wrong But you're not completely right. There are numerous instances of albums winning Album of the Year without being big sellers. And let's not act like majority of the albums that have won Album of the Year weren't critically-acclaimed. 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) Also... of those years I named, all of their albums aside from Daft Punk's scored a 76% or below rating on metacritic (Babel by Mumford & Sons being the lowest rated album with 63%)So you can't determine AOTY based on being critically acclaimed or sales. We'll see. I'm starting to think it'll be Simpson Edited February 9, 2017 by Game XXIX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
