Ariana most likely missing BPVA if competition is that tight and pack. You guys hear it first from me.

Best pop duo/group performance : no body no crime (feat. HAIM)Lorde radio station interview, talking about her Solar Power music video:
“It was all one shot and it was so difficult. Everything had to go perfectly for us to get that shot working. We must’ve done it 10 or 12 times I reckon, the weather had to perfect, it all had to come together.”
Looking at the video again, it’s one shot right up to 2:00 where they cut away to a different scene.
ReplyCopy URLI still don’t understand how “ties” happen in the Pop field. But it seems like this year there will be 6 slots in BPVA:
- Justin Bieber
- Billie Eilish
- Ariana Grande
- Olivia Rodrigo
- Ed Sheeran
- Taylor Swift
Ariana & Taylor could tie JT & Kelly at 5 nominations each. Not that voters care about that though.

Record of the Year: Hit Different by SZA ft. Pharrell Williams & co.
Song of the Year: Good Days by SZA ft. Jacob CollierI liked Lorde’s new song. It’s good. I don’t know she can get enough support though.
Olivia is closest to lock on BPVA, she’s the most successful popstar of the year. The Weeknd was the most successful one last year but he was R&B star turned popstar. They didn’t accept or support it.
I’m gonna listen to Liz Phair’s new album Soberish. Another veteran name and unlike her earlier projects, it recieved well too. She might have a chance for rock/alternative categories.

BPVA had such a locked top 5!!! Fuck Ed for messing that up!!!
I think Justin’s out. Then again, Changes being a BPVA nominee while Justice misses would be weird. Maybe Taylor’s out? Maybe we really overestimated the love they’ll have for Olivia? Maybe Ariana’s done? Who really knows? I’m just gonna pray for a tie to make this easier.
I also love the new Megan vid and song. Praying for two rap song nods for Megan. Would love a BMV nod too but it feels way too MTV.

Well..
ReplyCopy URLAnd when Olivia gets a complete shutout a la weeknd…! This can happen btw. We’re all too comfortable calling her a lock. Maybe the Grammy voters decide she’s too juvenile for them and give it a pass. But who’s willing to not predict Olivia anywhere?
I have this feeling too. She’s too juvenile for the Grammys taste. Little teen pop girls never won Grammys for this kind of music…
ReplyCopy URLOlivia is guaranteed at least a BPSP nom for Drivers License and another one for BNA, but she could definitely underperform elsewhere.
ReplyCopy URLFYC | Best music this season:
Marina - Ancient Dreams In A Modern Land
Arlo Parks - Collapsed In Sunbeams
St. Vincent - Daddy's Home
Jazmine Sullivan - Heaux Tales
Wolf Alice - Blue WeekendOlivia is having a big album that will challenge for the biggest album of the year in commercial terms, that alone will land her pop vocal nom. The era is with two huge no.1 hits. I would worry for albums that peaked early in the eligibility period and maybe will be forgotten by September.

I love Olivia so much but I have her lock for BNA and BPVA. She’s the current front-runner. Imo no one’s stopping her there. The only thing that could possibly happen is an upset or shock split for BPSP. For the past couple years, the biggest songs of the year all lost here. (“Bad Guy”, “Don’t Start Now”, ) as controversial as it may seem, she could actually loose this. However she IS the BPSP (Pop Solo Performance) front-runner. Unlikely but might possibly happen depending on circumstances. For general field (ROTY/SOTY) she’s getting overestimated. She IS getting nominated across the field. A win is another discussion. There is a chance she might surprise tho for maybe SOTY(?)
ReplyCopy URLSorry I don’t buy for a second that Olivia is going to be too ‘juvenile’ for the grammys.
Is her intended demographic teenage girls? Yes. Are teenage girls the only ones that listen to her music? No.
For one, the biggest meme about the album was all about how millenials were enjoying it ( https://twitter.com/annetdonahue/status/1395748250448285700 , https://twitter.com/benyahr/status/1395792339944288256 , https://twitter.com/gabebergado/status/1395760581047726087 , https://twitter.com/heyjaeee/status/1395808686505926658 ) and I could find more but you get the point.
And like everyone has pointed out, there is no way these streams are coming solely from teenage girls. Plus, the reviews the album got, which were all from ADULTS, were all positive.
Also, even if it is immature will that really hold her back? Are the same people that nominated My World 2.0 really going to be too snobbish for Sour? Maybe this is controversial but Sour deals with very similar themes to Fearless and in very similar ways. Hell, the current big grammy darling is a 19 year old girl.
Sorry but this just feels like a VERY weak point.

Best Drama Actress: Mj RodriguezI doubt she’s getting a complete shut out. Yeah, she’s a teen pop girl but she’s not the only teen pop girl in history that got big and gets nominated for a Grammy. This is her year so far. However, anything can happen. Maybe Silk Sonic gets a shut out. Maybe H.E.R. gets a shut out. How do we know?
