Top 10 Things the 2016 Grammys Got Wrong
1989 did not deserve this. TPaB did. The only Big 4 category Taylor should've won is Song of the Year. You have to admit, Blank Space was amazing.
I believe that "To Pimp a Butterfly" will go down in music history. Nobody will care about "1989" in a couple of years.
She is sexist toward women. Dear Future Husband is an incredibly vile, disgusting song, which is not the problem. I love evil music. The problem is in the framing. Meghan frames her evil, abusiveness, and sexism as cute and happy, which is terrible. Also, the bigger problem is that her music sounds awful. It's okay if you like her, but I simply do not get her appeal at all.
It's really shocking that Fetty Wap wasn't even nominated after all of the success he had throughout 2015.
It's not that bad of a song, but there are so many that are better. Out of the nominations, Alright should have won.
I agree with this. It is solid but has nothing particularly special about it, unlike most of the other contenders.
I get it. It's a big thing. Girls love girls sometimes. Everyone, get used to it. There's nothing special about this song.
I understand that the song was released only a short time before the Grammys, but it was already a big enough deal to be recognized.
Some of the songs he released were good, others not so much. But there were definitely some songs that should have at least gotten nominations.
The Newcomers
Okay, okay, listen. I have no disrespect to Lady GaGa. I actually think she did pretty well on her tribute, and I think she is very talented. However, I feel like some people could have done way better David Bowie tributes. Maybe an old-timer could have done it, like Stevie Wonder. Wouldn't that have felt more genuine?
She truly deserves it, but I think there are more to choose from, like Madonna, Cher, etc. But since Lady GaGa has him as her inspiration, it's good for her to make the tribute.
I think they used to have it. I don't know why they removed it. I think Ghost should have won if they had it.
Prince wasn't nominated for anything for his newly released work. It's as if the Grammys completely forget about people sometimes.
She's talented and unique, and was another person the Grammys seemed to forget about.
Absolutely. I despise pop music for the most part, but her album was amazing, and I loved it.
Kendrick Lamar's album only won because it's more popular. While it did have some good songs, "Alright" was really annoying and repetitive. If I wanted to listen to someone say "alright" a bunch of times, I would have listened to Andre 3000. "Compton" was Dr. Dre's last album. It should've won something. That was the best possible way an artist could have done a finale.
