[@LieTown1996]

If you think of the grand prize standard being Michael Jackson. BTS is far behind. They have fans, views, sales. But their song playback is still behind being the greats. Ask someone out in the street in the Americas/Europe if they listened to BTS consistently. Now ask someone if they've listened to Michael Jackson. Also showing proof is their World Tour, BTS sold 1.04M Tickets. BIGBANG sold 1.5M Tickets. Michael Jackson, over 2.8M back in 1984 when he won the Grammy. There's a big difference between having alot of fans vs having everyone love your music. Tbh if you want to win a grammy you have to be successful enough to sell a 1M capacity crowd. and with kpop is roughly a 400K crowd at most, only PSY has been able to reach those high number attendance but nowhere near a million.

[@luramey]

Dbo on ma back that maybe true. but if you look at the nominees this year, did anyone have met those criterias? maybe only on the song playback. you have to admit that there’s a disparity in how they were perceived. most of us are not saying they should win, a nomination would have been enough, especially with everything they did this year. they brought such a HUGE cultural impact and people actually KNOW them. not everyone sure, but a lot of non-kpop fans do. and as fan, you can’t really blame us for being disappointed. their music speaks for itself too. we’re not here fighting for them blindly without basis. their performance and concerts are out of this world as well, if you’ve ever been to one. also what with grammys constant hyping up of them recently, inviting them to the RA, asking them to present at the grammys, displaying their outfits in their museum and so forth. so do forgive us for expecting something.

OMG PLEASE MORE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS. Like, I get how those first few music show awards meant the most to BTS, but when they this big?! They don't need ANYONE's validation, especially not the Grammy's. Leonardo DiCaprio didn't get a single Oscar until he was in his 50's. That didn't make his works before his Oscar any less meaningful. Yah. At their level of fame, awards dont mean shit.

[@victrola2007]

[@latkinson8972]

Same. It's just another award...there are so many, when one doesn't win...a new award show us created. Nuts. Plus, the producers are not the ones who do the nominations. So people need to educate themselves on how it works. It's not necessarily about charts or popularity. I don't think grammy didn't use them...BTS chose to donate their clothes and be on the show last year. They could have declined. It doesn't surprise me they didn't get a nomination. They also didn't help their vote when they had bodyguards around during BBMA...those are the artist that vote too.

I’m iARMY and I love BTS but honestly, every Korean should be proud of BTS. They have showed a sense of character and integrity that has earned the respect of millions including fans, media, industry and general public. Yes, they are facing racism and discrimination and xenophobia but they are doing so with a sense of purpose without sacrificing who they are and that is reflective of them and their culture. It is very difficult being the first, because you take the hits so that others won’t have to. It’s not easy, but one day it will be easier for world artists to be recognized because BTS is going thorough this now and not letting it stop them. I’ve seen it over and over again, sometimes the person at the front of a movement never gets recognized but that doesn’t diminish their impact. I’m African American and I know it’s not easy to stand in the face racism or bigotry and give it your best but still be looked over. But BTS is willing to do that and they are showing a resilience that speaks volumes about their characters. This willingness to take the hard road is why BTS will be remembered as one of the greatest.

😔 Wait... they have a LATIN category from over 10 years and what made everyone think they'll put "Kpop" into their main "American/British" categories... if K-Pop goes strong for more 5 years then mark my words they'll make a "K-Pop/Asian" category, nothing more than that! Edit (A rant) : fuk the award shows bro, they just used Armys to create a hype for them... and if you watched the announcement ceremony that woman literally gave a whole ass speech about "We have brought in diversity this year, this celebration is about the music from all genres" and blah blah... I have to laugh give those writers a raise! And also for real, these awards don't matter... they can never tell the success or talent of an artist! But the reason Armys were excited and hoped for it was because of the boys! We have seen Suga & RM say multiple times their goal is to perform at the grammys, get a grammy one day, be on the stage! I remember last year after just "attending the show" they went on vlive and celebrated it with us and their smiles were priceless... we only want those smiles to be always there... Anyways ... let's focus on seeing BTS on MMA & MAMA and let's wait for their amazing performances! 💜

That’s the issue that caused the Latin Grammys to be created. So many genres of Latin music and they forced everyone into one category and left out so much talent.

[@danceanarchy1021]

this is going to be an unpoppular opinion, but I don't think MOTS persona deserved a Grammy nomination, it's BTS's weakest work to this date, the Album didn't have the critical acclaim Tear Had & the title track wasn't the worst but it wasn't of Fake Love's or Spring Day's league, The BWL MV didn't match BTS's high artistic standards & it was more of a hollow display of bubblegum pop imagery filled with Easter eggs that only ARMY understand as opposed their far better work in BST or FL MVs where even a non BTS fan can admit the artistry & amazing filmmaking behind it. HOWEVER I do believe that they got snubbed BIG Time in 2018 with Tear, That was an amazing Body of work that was overlooked because they were still new comers to the US, & I'm putting big hopes on MOTS shadow, after all BTS's dark concepts are always Top notch & never disappoint!

Dance Anarchy I mean yeah it isn’t their best album in my opinion either but at the end of the day, statistically speaking, it was the best selling album of the year. That’s just a prime fact.

[@warmywithcold]

I feel bad for Amber. She’s coming from a perspective that not a lot of people will be able to identify or understand. When you live as a foreigner in a foreign country you don’t expect the police or anyone else to come out on your side. In a conflict between you and a local, no matter whose at fault, you expect a bias towards the local. Which means that you have to make sure your own behavior, especially regarding the police is exceptional. Amber made a judgement based on her own experience, which doesn’t mean she’s wrong, just very specific. She was ultimately expressing a standard for her own behavior towards a policeman in Korea and judging his behavior against her standard. I’m curious what you think the reaction would be if Amber behaved like this towards a police officer in Korea?

[@yasminem.111]

I disagree, she's not some kpop artist who was born and raised in Korea and only knows korean culture. She's AMERICAN (and from LA lol) she KNOWS how it works there, and how american police officers have a looooong long history of discriminating black people. And if she actually didn't know, it will be an opportunity for her to learn.

[@angellag9373]

Would the south Korea police, racial profile a black person? Would they single out just one person? while I do not think she is racist, I do believe she has a bias towards this person. The fact that she was not informed on the subject means she does not have a valid opinion, but she chooses to give one anyway.

[@warmywithcold]

Yasmine M. I’m saying that she put herself into that situation and made a judgement based on her own experiences and standards, a “What would I do?” filter. Living permanently in another country, the immigrant experience is it’s own culture, and it’s been the culture she’s lived in for the past decade. Her filter isn’t wrong, or even inaccurate, it’s just not capable of seeing other filters clearly, which is a problem that exactly everyone has. From the perspective of an immigrant with non-permanent residency in the place that she has made her livelihood, showing disrespect towards a police officer makes her uncomfortable. Now other filters are important to look at too. But, why does her perception have to be wrong, just because it’s not commonly held? Why can’t we respect her lived experiences? Life’s complicated, multiple things can be true at the same time.

[@warmywithcold]

Yes Iam allthatandmore There are a lot of interesting studies on ingroup outgroup bias, enough to comfortably say that all communities and therefore all police forces profile for the outgroup, or the foreigner. So as a foreigner, I am extremely glad she shared her perspective! I don’t agree with it, but if I never hear perspective that are different to my own I can never grow into understanding them. By saying that her perspective is invalid you are trying to silence her and denying her own lived experience.

[@mchras]

I stayed away from Twitter when the announcement was made because I already knew that BTS wouldn't be nominated. The Grammys are kind of known for not liking boy bands, and the fact that BTS is foreign makes it even more difficult to get a nomination. But when I came back to Twitter, I saw a bunch of locals, non-fans, and even antis who tweeted their shock about BTS's snub. This made me realize that although we didn't get the Grammy nomination, we have put BTS on the map and the world now sees them and acknowledge them as Grammy nominee worthy. That is a HUGE step in the right direction. We will continue to fight for BTS to get the acknowledgements they deserve even if the industry fights against us.

[@shiraya318]

When it comes to Amber, I also don't think she deserves all the hate she's getting rn. She does deserve backlash and being called out, of course, but as Danny said, she doesn't have a history of that, has never really done anything wrong as far as I remember and everyone makes mistakes. Of course no one can force anyone to accept her apology, but I think people should at least acknowledge that she's trying. She admits it's her fault, she knows she fcked up and that she has to deal with the consequences and she wants to educate herself. That's more than other artists/public figures do/did. Also yes, she did grow up in the US, but living abroad for so long can definitely influence how much you know about the situation in the other country. even if you visit there sometimes and have friends there. I've been abroad for only one year and I missed like half the news of what's going on at home. Also most of the news of police violence that is happening in the US doesn't make it into our news either (I'm from Europe), I mostly get all this online, from twitter or so. So her not knowing how bad the situation actually is does kinda make sense. So...in conclusion: calling her out, yes. Constantly sending her insults and even death threats etc., big nope from me.

[@ladeeowl]

the fact that she thought that was ok after seeing the video is the issue here, also she has said some questionable things in the past which colors how we view this slip of the tongue. No one deserves to be singled out and harrassed so irrespective of race, that was wrong and should not be acceptable to anyone periodt! She grew up in Cali which is where I too reside and a lot of ppl "believed" that us Black people deserved maltreatment because we did not act in a calm manner or asked a question of an officer but when White folks do the same and worse, it is seen differently so no she does not get a pass from me. You can't accept an apology on our behalf she said this towards Black ppl please respect our feelings as most of kpop copies our art but fail to show us respect or acknowledge our contribution in the industry. THis also goes for Amerika, they too copy us and don't give proper respect and acknowledge that we are the main creators, so no I dont stan her but of course as a mature woman I dont condone bad behavior so would not approve of bashing another human being.

[@shiraya318]

@@ladeeowl As I said, I can't (and don't want to) force anyone into forgiving her and I'm also not trying to accept her apology on anyones behalf. I just think all the hate she's receiving is too much compared to what she did and also when you look at the fact that she at least tries to educate herself and do better instead of just ignoring what she did and moving on as if nothing happened. You don't have to forgive her or like her, and criticism is always okay. I just don't like constant hate and insults towards someone (except it's for something like murder or rape etc.), but I read from your comment that we agree on that last point :)

And tht too was not something i see or hear often. I only know about how black people are treated in america when i heard it directly from a black teacher of mine who teaches racism and the furgeson shooting. I dont agree in bashing someone for being ignorant. U can tell them they are being ignorant but no need to spread hate. I feel this hate thing always happen when a touchy subject is talked about. First of all, ignorance of the topic is pretty normal. No one talks about it. If i didnt have a compulsory racism class i legit will be ignorant about it. It is still a subject ppl dont want to talk about in america. Cuz racism is so big of a deal in america tht they dont wana face it.
