nothing will ever come close to Cynthia Erivo in The Color Purple. single handedly the greatest performance I have ever and will ever see.

I can’t even choose. Hamilton, Hadestown, Fun Home, Book of Mormon and Dear Evan Hansen will all go down as some of the all-time greats.

I love many of these revivals, but Once on this Island is the best example of taking an ok source material and making it into a beautiful and genius piece of art. The Color Purple was also pure perfection, but that was largely due to Cynthia. Also loved Pippin.

Maggie Rogers and Sigrid are both definitely getting nominations over City Girls and Lil Nas X. These basic non-critically acclaimed hip hop acts rarely get best new artist nominations. the only recent example of this is Lil Uzi Vert. Maggie’s album debuted at #2 and got great reviews. Sigrid also got great reviews and has a lot of hype.

It’s subjective, but to me the album sounds similar to these:

Kesha Animal
Iggy Azalea The New Classics
Katy Perry – Prism
Miley Cyrus – Bangerz
Ariana Grande previous albums (they all had very successful singles yet none managed to get in)

Most of these had 1 or several #1 hits. But they lack substance especially in the lyrical aspect. They come off as shallow pop releases, at least to me.

I was surprised Purpose got an AoTY nod though, but I’m pretty sure it’s mainly thanks to Ed’s Love Yourself.

The difference though is that thank u, next is very deep and raw lyrically, and shows Ariana really open up about her life and be honest. It was critically acclaimed beyond any of these albums.

Get real! “Bad Romance” did NOT deserve to win ROTY/SOTY. That song is generic as fuck.

Bad Romance literally revolutionized pop music but go off…

Once On This Island really deserves this but I would love for Sara to win her first Grammy. Too bad it won’t be for something Waitress-related as that score and cast album were lyrically and vocally stunning.

Any chance Nicki could sneak a nomination? “Chun-Li” was a really good song, a decent hit, and has been doing well on many critics lists.

Because Demi Lovato is a complete non-factor at the Grammys. The only reason she got in for Confident is because few relevant acts released albums that year. (Likely trying to avoid competition with Adele.)

Tell Me You Love Me may have been bigger, but more big-name artists released material last year.

Ariana Grande isn’t Demi Lovato level. She’s most likely in for Sweetener. I just think with the amount of top-tier artists in the running this year, she’s not 100% guaranteed to get the nomination.

This must be a joke. Ariana Grande is one of the biggest pop stars currently and is the current it-girl in every sense. Demi has never had the level of success Ariana has music wise. Ariana’s album is also critically acclaimed. She’s a lock 100% and you’re fooling yourself if you think otherwise.

I really think God is a woman has a shot (or no tears left to cry if it was actually submitted). Ariana has had a great year and both songs are so original and unlike anything else that is popular. I would also love if My My My! was nominated but doubt it.
