If not for the music itself (which is deserving on its own), Grimes should have been nominated and *won* for designing the cover artwork of Art Angels by herself.

The Who (1964-present)
Spice Girls (1994-present)
Marina (2005-present)
Jason Derulo (2006-present)
Grimes (2007-present)
A. G. Cook (2011-present)
Cocteau Twins (1979-1997)
One Direction (2010-2015)

 

It’s funny to mention that The Strokes got their first nomination ever for the 2021 ceremony, 21 years after the band was formed.

Sufjan Stevens also got his first nom for Mystery Of Love recently even though he’s been releasing acclaimed music since 2000.

Like proper retro 80s pop not lover.

She already did it and that really wouldn’t be a good look since it’s already saturated. After this overexposure of sounds that simulate the 80s from 2014 to 2020, it’s certain that this trend will be seen as tacky and repetitive.

Alternative Rock, Singer-Songwriter or Chamber Folk/Pop are the right paths for her next project, in my opinion. I don’t know why fans here are so obsessed with her doing Pop even though those are the worst attempts in her career (reputation, Lover). Chart success is not that important.

Ctrl absolutely deserved an AOTY nomination over Awaken My Love.

Let’s be honest here for a second. Not only it deserved the nomination but also the win.

They had one job and it was to shut out that Dan + Shay song. They failed to do so.

I don’t know if it’s just me but it’s so weird that they’re predicting Beyoncé to win 5 out of 9 nominations but none of them are for Best Music Film.

The complete downgrade if she works again with those people when she *really* thrives with this new, fresh and mature sound. 1989 won’t happen again and she better don’t try to.
