West Coast 45,795 Posted November 23, 2021 I like how all these past nominees/winners/presenters were going on and on about how much they were thankful for being nominated and it was the best, most honouring and most important moment of their young careers yaddy yaddy yadda, like just be glad your label bought them awards for you boo. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

daddyauerbach 2,168 Posted November 23, 2021 awards like the Grammys are funny to me because its always more about payola sales and ratings than actually quality of art ... but what can you do 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LifeOnMars 7,911 Posted November 23, 2021 How do people know she even submitted to any categories? Also I need to check out HER’s music because she always gets nominated for AOTY. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

palemoonbaby 15,104 Posted November 23, 2021 Justice sumbitted to many categories due to payola and money? At least Jack is nominated with Chemtrails on his list. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LifeOnMars 7,911 Posted November 23, 2021 Just now, West Coast said: we're just grasping at straws, normal LanaBoards activity in between album cycles. LOL. She needs to start submitting to alternative. If Halsey got in, Lana can too. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't act like her debut wasn't literally a MASSIVE success both critically and commercially, everyone had an opinion about it, Billie WAS 2019, and believe me I'm not a fan of that particular record (some tracks slap tho), that was literally THE album of 2019. NFR! deserved that's for sure, the only two albums that reached the artistic heights of Lana weren't even nominated lol, but competition was REALLY though that year specially with critical and comercial succeses like Billie's and Ariana's albums. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think we don't have any actual confirmation of this years submissions, but her team has historically never submitted her on Alternative categories before, so it's safe to say COCC was no exception 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I never said Billie though, I meant all the presenters/past nominees. But if we're going down that road I guess I'll air my grievances with her, I don't think she's that great and this is purely personal. All her albums are quite mediocre to me, I think she's got great production going on but the songs themselves are quite monotonous and her vocals are weak. Anyways, congrats to her for cashing in all these awards. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trash Magic 28,381 Posted November 23, 2021 Worst AOTY lineup I have ever laid my eyes on it’s beyond parody at this point.

Gravitate 3,921 Posted November 23, 2021 The only artist I’m really surprised with who got a lot of nominations was Justin. I’ve honestly never heard the songs he was nominated for and I’m shocked his album was in the same category as Doja, Ariana, and Olivia when all 3 of those saw way bigger success and influence from what I’ve seen. I really have a hard time understanding what makes an album worthy to be a nominee And when people say an album isn’t Grammy material I don’t really get it cause it seems to be all over the place 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fireffie 3,669 Posted November 23, 2021 Really disappointed that Wolf Alice didn't get nominated in anything Blue Weekend is my favourite album of the year so far, it deserved at least one nomination 0 Quote Dying by the hand of a foreign man, Happily Calling out my name in the summer rain, Ciao amore 13.04.2018 | 04.06.2024 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trash Magic 28,381 Posted November 23, 2021 To be fair I think the past 12+ months have been the absolute worst for new releases in memory. I have not connected with anything and my favourite artists all came up short 👎 1 Quote "It's 2011, and we should all be aware of exactly how fast technology is developing" - Lana Del Rey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
