Which Billie interview? For Vanity Fair that she making three years in a row.

Yes, I’m seeing clips of it everywhere. It’s a great watch, and I can’t believe that a 17 year-old has captured our attention like this lol

I don’t think the urban voters will make much of a difference.

The Billie interview is everywhere. A campaigner’s dream.

Well, we already knew that Billie was ahead of Lizzo in most categories. That’s why Urban Contemporary and (maybe) SOTY are Lizzo’s most competitive categories. But if the Billie hype translates into a full sweep then it’s over for Lizzo (and Ariana by default).

Khalid and Halsey were both done dirty. At least the BRP included Talk in ROTY, meanwhile Without Me was completely snubbed. And yes I’m still mad about it

Sunflower could so win ROTY. That song was HUGE. And it’s the signature song for one of the most celebrated animated films of all time. You all are severely underestimating it’s appeal. It’s extremely safe as well.

I would like to see it.

Honey, “Cuz I Love You” should’ve been nominated in Best Traditional R&B Performance instead of “Jerome.”

Right? That submission seems really weird to me. I wonder why her team chose Jerome.

The only way Lizzo’s winning traditional R&B is if she does a stellar Jerome performance at SNL (which wouldn’t surprise me). But even then I’d be hesitant to predict her.

She’s up against an industry veteran with a #1 song at Urban AC (India.Arie – it’s her first radio #1) and someone who surprisingly won let year, who now has the assistance of an industry favorite who doesn’t have a Grammy yet (PJ Morton and Jazmine Sullivan). There are some interesting narratives in that category and I wouldn’t underestimate them.

I want Sunflower to win duo/group so bad. I can’t believe it was snubbed in song written for visual media 🙁

Could Lizzo pull a AOTY win ? They obviously have a hard on her . R&B committee obviously loves her and she could possibly get some hip hop votes. Would the pop voters go for her ?

Just because the R&B committee included her, doesn’t mean they love her or that she’ll even win those song categories. Yes she is having a monumental year, but she still has to overcome the uphill battle of being a newbie, being considered pop, and all the other biases of the academy.

Again, people predicting a sweep or a possible AOTY win are getting way ahead of themselves.

A million and one people worked on the Dreamville album… not everyone made the cut, but it seemed like a nourishing experience for all of the artists involved. Hence why I predicted it for a nomination. They simply had a lot of voters attached to the project.

Now, idk if they’ll all vote for themselves as a winner… but I wouldn’t be surprised if managed to win.

Watch Lizzo only win 2 nominations.

She will. In the past few years, artists who get a bunch of nominations never sweep. Half of them literally went home empty-handed. Lizzo is in a better chance to win somewhere, but a sweep? It’s not happening.

If anything , Lil Nas X is the person who could go home with nothing.

It’s strange seeing social media turn on Lizzo in a complete 180 this past week lol.

It’s been building for a few months now, but flipped completely after Ari Lennox’s rant. Really unfortunate imo, but Lizzo is an easy target and people love a pile-on.

Imagining a scenario where all the country voters go for Tanya Tucker in SOTY since they have no album to root for. Realistic? Idk.

In addition to that, I’m imagining a scenario where Lizzo and Billie only get one win each (Urban Contemporary and BNA, respectfully). That would be wild. But I’m always wary of newcomers sweeping and/or people who get a bunch of nominations.

I’m still confused by these nominations. Especially for R&B… but whatever. Really surprised to see that I tied for #1, let alone had 45% accuracy. What a mess.
