Ok so after a while I can say that the 10-minute version of All Too Well is the definitive one. I can’t listen to the original anymore. I was feeling shaky about the added lyrics at first but that feeling passed. It’s immaculate.

ABBA deserve this as a reward for an unparalleled musical career. Coming back after 4o years with such amazing music is nothing to sneeze at. I hope they pull through.

I’ve always been a champion of Billie’s, so to suggest that I have distaste for her brother is odd. Fairness is fairness. Desmond Child or some other Grammy-winning producer was also on the ballot this year and I don’t think that was fair either. We’re only talking about Finneas because he made it through.

Finneas is a fantastic producer but a basic songwriter.

Was thinking about ABBA. Getting their first nomination after being such an influential band in pop music and then having that nomination mired in controversy.

Harvey Mason Jr. nees to be fired yesterday and never ever ever be allowed to work in the industry again.

Getting nominated is a big hurdle. Now that Taylor passed that, she has a chance just as anyone else. Come on. I’m a fan but I can’t objectively say that she can’t win just because she was nominated because of a stupid decision.She might still gag everyone with a win.

I agree, I think the writing’s on the wall and Goo-Goo & Ton-Ton are winning. This all seems like a rehash of last year when we all went circles around folklore when it was pretty obvious it was the winner from the start.

@Ghost by the way you’re one of the most insightful, level-headed commenters on Goldderby. Just thought I’d say that.

Right on Time – SOTY or BUST. No other song in that lineup deserves it.

Oh yeah, Masseducation, not Masseduction. Masseduction is the song. LOL.
No, wait, you’re wrong. Its Masseduction. Don’t play mind games with me. 😀

Hmmm. You can’t compare i,i, NFR! and FOTB to Daddy’s Home, though. Daddy’s Home was doomed from the beginning. That article about his father being in prison for being a corrupt millionaire killed her chances I think. And it also soured the whole reception of the album. Yes, she’s overdue for some love, but only if she delivers. And she didn’t.

St. Vincent had no shot at AOTY. She had no support from the rock branch and she delivered a mediocre album. And I’m saying that as someone who adores both St. Vincent (album) and Masseduction.

Strongly doubt Arooj Aftab made the top 20 for Album considering she was 9th or 10th in New Artist, and I doubt the committees would’ve liked Justice. My guess is those spots would’ve been some combo of Doja Cat, H.E.R., St. Vincent, and Jazmine Sullivan.

oh yeah I forgot about Sullivan and H.E.R. Im still keeping Arooj, I think she could’ve potentially made top 20. Imagine this lineup:

H.E.R. – Sullivan – Arooj – Eilish – Rodrigo – Stapleton – Batiste – West

It would’ve been beautiful. Of course I’m still including West because it seems Harvey would’ve forced the panel to include him, but the rest is gold, Jerry. GOLD!

I wonder if the committee would allow tony/gaga to get these many nods

With a committee the nominations would probably include:

Lil Nas
Batiste
Kanye West (shenanigans)
Billie
Rodrigo
Stapleton
Bieber
Arooj Aftab

and let’s stop at 8.
