I can't believe Thriller came in 1982 and was STILL being nominated in 1985... that's how huge that album was. Just unbelievable.

[@amedeo29]

Well, Thriller was released November 30th, making it too late to be an entry for the 1983 awards (held in Feb of 83) Thriller the song was the final single from the album, and wasn't released until 1984, which is when the stunning music video came out, hence it being up for awards the following year. The Grammy's are held every February, and the cut off for eligible albums is September 30th of the previous year. So an album released in October of 2017 won't be eligible for a grammy until the February 2019 awards shows. Weird, I know. The album of course was huge, its almost always at the very top of every list for best albums of the 1980s, and best pop albums ever. But that being said, there are rules for when music is up for awards, and it has to have had release within a window of dates. And that is why this song was eligible. Otherwise, we probably would have seen all his albums up for awards all over again in 2010, with the awards that followed his 2009 death.

To this day 80s music has lots of haters. The 80s took rock and punk and made it more commercial with hair bands etc. The movement towards electronic music gave "real musicians" a bad taste in their mouth. A lot of great dance music came out of the 80s, and a lot of great pop. Singer/songwriters and guitar driven bands have long cursed the 80s for being too commercial sounding, and lacking any true talent. The truth is these people were trapped in the past, lacked innovation, and by the 1990s no one was talking about them.

[@amandabooth1219]

For your eyes only, prince was a very shy person and yes noticed the body guard and he was a private person and was uncomfortable with people in general so that's why had the body guard also.

Wow, blast from the past! I remember staying up late on a school night to watch this! Had a huge crush on Prince - loved that he kept winning so I could see him on the stage more. LMAO

[@CarrieLuikens]

Wow, Prince won all the categories and beat out MJ! Thriller was an extremely popular album at the time, but Purple Rain I think demonstrated exceptional musical creativity so I am glad Prince won those awards.

[@jerryhornes5618]

Only reason Prince won because Thriller came out in 1982 and Purple Rain came out in 1984 but both talented artists r.i.p M.J. n Prince

[@ginasousabranco5637]

1985 was a year especially busy for Madonna. The video for "Material Girl" came out on 1 February, the movie "Vision Quest" in February & the movie "Desperately Susan" came out in early March. Thanks to the "Vision Quest" soundtrack, especially the single "Crazy For You", Madonna got her 1st Grammy nomination. Also during the shooting of "Material Girl" Madonna knows Sean Penn & married.

[@ginasousabranco5637]

Made the 1st tour April - June - the only that wasn't a world tour - just North United States & Canada After The Virgin Tour end, made the Live AID in July.

[@sergiorencio]

+Gina Sousa Branco She should have done The Virgin Tour a World Tour. She was already famous enough to do it. Besides, I hate the change of look she took for Live Aid.

[@ginasousabranco5637]

Sergio V That look change had a purpose / justification. Madonna's was covered from head to toe - despite the enormous heat - in protest for her nude photos from 1979 published without her permission on the Playboy & Penthouse.

[@sergiorencio]

Yes, but she also said "I'm not ashamed". I don't know... I just really dislike that look and love the look form the Virgin era.

[@ginasousabranco5637]

[@JohnSmith-ql4gw]

kokym8 That's your opinion. Fact is that she was the most anticipated performer at the Grammy's according to a billboard.com poll and just 2 years ago her Super Bowl Halftime show had the highest viewed segment in TV history - oh and not mention she earned more money than any other musician in 2013. So, the facts are that she is still very relevant. Oh yeah, also forgot to mention she had the highest selling tour of 2012. These are all facts, not opinions.

[@kokym8]

John Smith Well I was waiting for her Superbowl to be honest but she should've stopped after that because It was perfect and then she ruined perfect performer image with her performances in her tour and the grammys

It's so weird there was a time - and the 80s - when there was a separate category for blacks!

***** It's how the R & B category was referred to at the time. I can't believe people are so stupid.

[@purplelove010]

Mick Denis But it's racist because anybody can sing R&B music. You don't have to be Black to sing it. The fact that they called it "Black" single was symbolizing segregation.

[@liannegreen692]

purplelove010 It's not racist the word black is not racist - and the charts were referred to as the black charts in billboard and cash box...no one cried racism ! It's what it was called ... and trust me they didn't play white artist on those stations.

[@barbee0715]

+purplelove010 I agree with you and find it strange. Read just the other day that Billboard had purposely changed it from R&B to Black just a year or two before. Makes no sense.

I'm referring to pop culture, not world politics. There's always good and bad depending on your particular point of view. Pop culture today is about who can be rudest or most vulgar s.o.b. in the room. Not appealing at all (my opinion)

Amazing To see how radiant Madonna was and she was going to be more and more powerful with each album and ultimately surpass everyone here and become the ultimate icon and the number one artist talked about in the country. To even think some idiots dare to compare lady reductive to the icon that is madonna is just laughable 🤣

[@ThomasJr]

haha, you're talking about gaga, yes, Gaga at her prime was much less than Madonna the icon at her prime. Express yourself is a zillion times more exciting that Born this way.

[@RobertoGaspar69]

I think Gaga is the only one that actually could come close and replaced Madonna. Both are amazing in their own way. Madonna on other hand a tougher competition than LG. Tina Turner, Cindy Lauper, Laura Branigan,,,and others. But Madonna was always changing and adapting to the new things and that is what made her the Queen of pop. The 80s was feverish full of talented musicians everywhere. Uk..Usa...underground, new wave, goth, pop, synth pop, etc

One of the greatest era's in recorded music. But bought my first Beatles album in 1967. I don't need to debate it. I lived it, loved it, and would do it again. Musicians/Artists we're not created by autotune. Lots of raw talent. No downlads, you went to a "record" store. There will always be new music, talent.
