Top 10 Things the 2016 Grammys Got Wrong

The Top Ten
"To Pimp a Butterfly" should have won album of the year

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.

Anyone but Meghan Trainor should have won best new artist

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.

Fetty Wap should have been nominated for best new artist

It's really shocking that Fetty Wap wasn't even nominated after all of the success he had throughout 2015.

"Thinking Out Loud" shouldn't have won song of the year

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.

"Girl Crush" never should have been such a big deal

I get it. It's a big thing. Girls love girls sometimes. Everyone, get used to it. There's nothing special about this song.

"Hotline Bling" should have been recognized

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.

Jamie XX's "In Colour" should have have won Electronic Album of the Year & be nominated for Album of the Year.
Kanye West wasn't appreciated enough

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.

Nicki Minaj should not have been nominated
CHVRCHES should have been recognized.

The Newcomers

? Eminem should have been recognized
? What Kind Of Man should've won Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance
The Contenders
Lady GaGa shouldn't have been the one to do the David Bowie tribute

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.

There should have been a Metal Album of The Year category.

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's album was snubbed

Prince wasn't nominated for anything for his newly released work. It's as if the Grammys completely forget about people sometimes.

Joey Bada$$ should have been recognized.
Lana Del Ray should have been recognized

She's talented and unique, and was another person the Grammys seemed to forget about.

Taylor Swift should have won all 7 of her categories
More awards should be presented during the telecast
Kamasi Washington should've been recognized in the Jazz category.
Drones by Muse shouldn't have won Best Rock Album
Carly Rae Jepsen should have been recognized

Absolutely. I despise pop music for the most part, but her album was amazing, and I loved it.

All the pop singers and rappers should have lost
Compton should have won best rap album

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.

Taylor Swift should have performed twice
The Weeknd should not have won anything
Owl City should have been recognized
