slang 1,509 Posted February 12, 2015 Artist community: "Beck is a purer artist" Kanye (hypothetical): "Art from a hive collective is still art. Resistance is futile." I bought Morning Phase and I'm glad Beck won because he might get a sales boost, and I want his type of music more encouraged in popular music. That could also be the reasoning process behind the voting decision. The Grammys also self-corrects when they get a chance, so while they may have given Beck Grammys for best performances in various categories (in the late 90s), they never really recognized him for the revolutionary he turned out to be. Kanye could make decent points about Grammy snobbery, if he wanted to. He could state disappointment that alternative, rap, or urban were not announced or performed and perhaps not fixate on Beyonce so much (e.g., Tenacious D getting best metal performance, why doesn't he care about that? LOL). Did anybody else feel uncomfortable about the huge emphasis on domestic violence combined with the fact UV (or LDR) wasn't nominated for anything? I also wished they would have had a musical personality give the talk-from-my-life speech after President Obama. Several possibilities jump to mind. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeadAgainst 1,514 Posted February 12, 2015 Did anybody else feel uncomfortable about the huge emphasis on domestic violence combined with the fact UV (or LDR) wasn't nominated for anything? I also wished they would have had a musical personality give the talk-from-my-life speech after President Obama. Several possibilities jump to mind. "But I definitely feel like what I come up with musically is on the pulse of what is relevant" The voices in Kanye's head told him to storm the stage; perhaps they intended him to defend the chick he was next to on the Billboard cover and he got confused And Lana changes her Instagram to "put not your trust in princes," etc. after Prince gives Beck the Grammy? what kind of subtle commentary 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viva 3,168 Posted February 12, 2015 Yet Beck should've "respected artistry" and given his award to Beyonce. I don't think neither deserve the award if I'm honest, but you have to give it to someone. Beyoncé is the best tricky America plays in the international scene. Her sales are so far from justifying the hype, the art on her album I also can't manage to see. Beck and Beyoncé, both had good albums with a few really good songs on it. Sia should've got the prize if justice was served, at least lyrically wise she is in the top of the food chain. We hardly get a single like Chandelier or Elastic Heart, with great lyrics but also a addictive beat and radio friendly enough to become a hit. This mix is hard, very hard to achieve and for that reason I think Sia deserved the Grammy for best album. Beyonce is good, but I can't see this amazing, outstanding artsy album some talk about. Beyoncé does what Beyoncé does well: wigs, dancers, good live voice and that's her thing, she didn't change, she doesn't surprise you, she doesn't innovate. But Gaga went nuts, the Grammy's hate Katy Perry, Rihanna is on a vacay, Adele is eating nuggets and doing baby stuff, Miley was last year, Sia is a foreigner and doesn't accept endorsement, there for don't make them money, they had to give that prize to someone, right? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
