Not winning AOTY again was disheartening to see. The most honored artist in history and she still isn’t worthy of THE biggest award? And I want to also make a wider separate point: the academy does not like to award black females the AOTY award. There have been very, VERY few winners, the last one being Lauryn Hill in 1999. I’m not saying black women should win because they’re black, but there have been several deserving black female artists who should have won AOTY since Lauryn…

at this point it's like they're giving her awards for the sake of giving and not because they actually consider her to be worth of them. after her self-titled album she stopped producing music that white people could deem as "relatable" and suddenly everyone started claiming that she's overrated and undeserving of her awards, let alone of something from the main 4. i don't think she cares about that as much as i do though lmao, she's still the artist with most grammy wins either way.

My hot take is I think ABBA should have won pop duo/group as a legacy act. ABBA has never won an Grammy despite their outsized impact - even if I liked Unholy more it would seem like a great tribute

I think it would have been a good block for like a preshow, like 30 minutes or an hour before it actuallt started. That way people can get cozy and start tuning in without it feeling like filler in the actual lineup of things. I did quite like it myself, but I would have perfered either longer or more performances.

I wish Scoring the End Of The World by Motionless In White and Pain Remains by Lorna Shore could've gotten nominated and won something. Those were great albums and MIW had BIG hits like Masterpiece and Werewolf. But that's just me. I really hope good metal artists get recognition at some point rather than just placed in one category that's always confusing.

[@shiningsophia]

Harry's performance was rocky because the turntable started going the wrong way at the start of the performance, freaking out all the dancers and Harry. He even tried to warn the technician, but he didn't notice. So he was freaking out about doing a whole choreography backwards and losing his balance. Which he did.

It irked me that Taylor's best music video award was not televised, I mean the camera kept on cutting to her during the main ceremony so why not maximize it by having her accept the award on stage. I feel like they did not do it because Taylor would be pushing for artist's rights for their masters in her speech because the song is part of a rerecording and that is also why I think she lost SOTY

My only problem is why everyone's making it about Beyonce....there were other nominees who deserved the AOTY too. Not just Beyonce. And it's no way acceptable that people were booing while Harry was giving his speech. I mean he too must have worked hard and it was not a bad album. Why can't we just appreciate an artist even if they're not our favourite!!!!

[@vmarie22456]

I know. I don’t listen to his music, but people have been so mean to him. He won at the end of the day. So like?? Beyoncé has 32 Grammys I think she’ll live. She was also cheering for him too. I feel bad that Beyoncé has to deal with her toxic fan base.

[@madhu_mita]

@@vmarie22456 same I don't listen to his music too, Beyonce neither. So don't know about them. I listened to 30 liked it and wanted Adele to win but she didn't. And I'm happy for Harry. But what the hell is this behaviour man. People are just petty this days.

[@genesistafari9006]

Crazy how a fan base is toxic when y’all deliberately ignore the valid criticism made towards the Grammys, not Harry. Although people are flippantly lying as if Harry styles and a Beyoncé is even comparable when she has been performing his entire life let alone his career. No one cares that Harry won, but never over a Beyoncé. Like bffr. Let alone everyone else who was nominated also light years ahead. The beyhive is not toxic for calling out racism and then responding to gaslighting with anger. Y’all don’t even listen to Beyoncé and in the same breath comparing her to someone whose career is more than likely literally inspired by hers. He is mediocre is comparison and that is simply the truth.

[@henrywayne5724]

Valid criticisms are being tossed at the Grammys and you Harry fans really need to open your eyes to the blatant racism.

[@madhu_mita]

@@genesistafari9006 1st I don't listen to Harry, I don't listen to Beyonce. I'm not comparing them, cause it's foolish to compare two artists be it anyone. 2nd Just because Harry is younger doesn't mean he's not a good artist or can't make good music ever. 3rd I have seen people hating on Harry more than they're criticizing the Grammys. That's why I commented this and that's what bothers me. And yeah there are toxic people in every fandom. Lastly when Harry said "this doesn't happen with people like me"... I don't think he meant his color or anything, no would say that. There's more to people than color. And even if it was about race and all it's clearly not his fault that they chose him. Anyway i just can't tolerate people hating on people for no reason... otherwise I couldn't care less about these award shows.

They do have award shows where the public votes. The difference for the Grammys is it's voted on by members of the recording academy so it's seen as a more prestigious award, and it's "supposed" to more about quality as opposed to popularity.

[@leona_saji]

Had to mention it here that Harry's turntable was spinning the other direction on stage than what they had practiced with which ruined his and the bg dancers routine, harrys earpiece wasn't working and there were some issues with his outfit as well so it should explain why his performance didn't go as per plan

[@gusteree]

Apparently for the Harry performance, the turn table they were performing on was spinning the opposite way to what they practiced so they had to basically improvise the entire thing right then and there while being flustered

[@Ashley-do4kk]

The main problem is that awards shows (especially the Grammys) are bought and rigged and everyone knows that by this point. Harry Styles' win was a slap in the face because his music is disliked by many people, yet he "won" anyway. That Sam Smith song is a mediocre-as-hell pop song, and that win was just a social statement. People are sick of being preached to by celebrities, and their decision to make the host one of the most brainwashed cogs in that machine was a major fail. This Grammys literally felt like a show put on by Panem's wealthy. I honestly can't believe they still air this crap.
