Grammys 2019: Many deserving artists won top honours — but what about the music?
FirstpostFor its tone-deaf treatment of women artists last year, the Grammys this year stepped up with 15 artists being nominated across the four major categories: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist Eminem called it last year in his album Kamikaze. While he was ironically nominated in this year’s awards for his Grammy-dissing song ‘Lucky You’, he rapped in another song — ‘Fall’ — from the same album: Then tell the Grammys to go and fuck themselves, They suck the blood from all the biggest artists like some leeches, So they nominate ‘em, get ‘em there, get a name to MC the show, Every parasite needs a host, Then give Album of the Year to somebody that no one’s ever even heard of Really? Some artist or the other usually has an axe to grind with the academy but for its tone-deaf treatment of women artists last year, the Grammys this year stepped up with 15 artists being nominated across the four major categories: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Record of the Year and Best New Artist. If Hillary Clinton was the political quotient last year, this year it was former First Lady and forever rockstar Michelle Obama joining supergroup Jada Pinkett-Smith, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Lopez and Lady Gaga to talk about what music means to them and the life lessons they’ve learnt from it.
