Grammys 2023: The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING The Grammys, for a while now, have been out of touch with the pulse of the culture, shutting out some of the most relevant and moving artists throughout generations all because a committee of a lot of old white men refuses to either give up its power or actually listen to a truly vast and inclusive array of music. And the Recording Academy did exactly what we knew it’d do — though we naively hoped otherwise — by awarding Album of the Year to a white man whose album was good, but by no means surpassed the brilliance and impact of two of its competitors: Beyoncé’s “Renaissance” and Bad Bunny’s “Un Verano Sin Ti.” The 2023 Grammys may have been fun and games in the beginning, but we left feeling unsatisfied and with a bad taste in our mouths. The Atlanta rapper performed his new song “Without You” with Maverick City Music, alongside a rendition of Charlie Puth’s “See You Again.” Quavo held Takeoff’s chain to the sky as the powerful, heartbreaking segment ended. Timothy Norris/FilmMagic What The Grammys Got Wrong Beyoncé’s Album of the Year Snub If the Recording Academy doesn’t have anything else, it has some nerve. Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for The Recording Academy Why The Grammys Need To Do Better Ruth Etiesit Samuel’s Final Thoughts The Recording Academy prides itself on bestowing “the music community’s highest honor,” and it is so clearly an institution that has a vested interest in placating whiteness, honoring abusers and transphobes, and maintaining the status quo.
