Well, I don’t think the Gaga’s performance last year was a last call. She wasn’t there to recive an award. She just wanted to do a tribute to her friend Tony Bennett. Her category wasn’t even in the telecast. They just confirmed her late to create a last minute hype.
Idk. Having Gaga on the lineup will pull more viewers and they wouldn’t miss an opportunity like that. They would’ve used her name from the beginning to pull in viewers. And normally all the tribute performances will be announced in the beginning. All the ads would’ve been “Gaga tribute to Tony Bennett only on Grammys” or sumn like that.
But what you said could be true too. But personally I think it’s not because the lineup was mid from the beginning and looked like they had to come up with something.
ReplyCopy URLI can’t see Beyonce NOT showing up if she wins AOTY and if she is then the Producers will let her know ahead of time just as they did in 2021. Jay-Z is also heavily rumored to be performing so she’ll show if only to support him. I’d be Surprised if somehow the producers don’t do everything short of getting on their knees and begging to get her to perform as well.
Jay-Z always puts on a great show and like Nas last year he deserves to have on his legendary resume that he performed at the Grammys. But him performing probably means no Kendrick Lamar as I can’t think of a time when two rappers have performed different sets at the Grammys.
ReplyCopy URLSorry but the “I won’t show up unless I get the big prize” is such a cheap mentality I will not ascribe it to any of these musicians 🙏 also the poster who commented about 2021: the committee was still a thing then. And if you are skeptical of committee votes AND general votes, what are they supposed to do? Sometimes I think posters ascribe to “corruption” all decisions they don’t like. I have to say the “politics” comments in the HDD was not inspiring trust but what do they even know :/ there needs to be more transparency but even just the fact that we’re tuning in and here means that there is value left. But artists need to go and perform, or that value is lost.
ReplyCopy URLI also remember when somebody like Eminem said ” They use us for ratings but they give the big awards to Arcade Fire or Steely Dan.”
Kendrick didn’t attend or perform in 2019 because he probably knew that he won’t win the big categories. I also support the artists decision for not showing up unless they won something big.
ReplyCopy URLI got you stuck in the realness
I read “An artist currently enjoying a giant chart run” as SZA
I was thinking that too, but SZA has never publicly talked bad at the Grammys or been badly snubbed (although I do wish she won for ctrl, all the stars, and good days) + she just won last year… on the other hand Miley only has 1 grammy nomination despite being a fairly well known star
ReplyCopy URLIt’s pretty obvious Carlile has it in the bag. That lesbian has had stupendous success with the Grammys in recent years. Nod after nod not just in her genre but also across the general field. She always delivers some of the best performances of the night and not to mention she is absolutely adored by everyone in the industry. Not all of Adele’s rich ass friends who saw her perform at that telescope can vote. It’s ovah peeps!

All Too Well (The Short Film) -BEST MUSIC VIDEO!
Wasn’t Brandi caught being in the same room with the grammy executive committee when they were deciding who from the top 15 were gonna get nominated in the final lineup?
Another proof of they knowing the winners beforehand, was when Billie swept and they changed BPVA from the main telecast to the premiere and put BPSP instead at the last minute, because they knew Lizzo was winning the latter. Imagine having Billie on stage 5 times.
