Selena Gomez has the success but lacks respect. Rare missing BPVA is an example of that.
In what world would Rare ever make Pop Vocal? That lineup was easily most competitive Vocal lineup in the past 10 years (folklore, Future Nostalgia, Fine Line, Chromatica, Changes, After Hours, Hollywood’s Bleeding)… You must have confused it with Revival, which was a semi-embarrassing miss. It had 3 Pop Radio #1s which is a big feat and the year wasn’t competitive outside of the top 2 (Adele and Justin).
In general for Revival’s miss, and all of Selena’s misses, I don’t think they represent an outright rejection, she simply never had a “oh this has to be nominated” moment.

ReplyMay 22, 2023 at 8:14 pm #1205438281In my books Selena Gomez should’ve been handed a Grammy on a platter years ago for “Bad Liar” and “Fetish” so I’m happy to see her even nominated this year.
ReplyMay 22, 2023 at 7:55 pm #1205438268AHAP Remix is bad though. Don’t even care for the “non-queer artist” aspect, but Kendrick is just ill-placed on the song. I would’ve picked a female rapper like Megan (although I believe the song needed no remixes).
ReplyMay 22, 2023 at 7:54 pm #1205438266AMERICA HAS A PROBLEM could go R&B. We all thought Beyoncé would have a Melodic Rap/Pop submission last time & it didn’t happen.
HEATED was likely her Melodic submission that was moved to R&B Performance. Bey is Grammy-savvy enough to know submitting 2 songs to the same category is usually a dumb move, and she hadn’t done so for any of her past albums after IASF. She submitted it to Melodic but screening committee rejected it and slotted in R&B Performance along with Virgo’s Groove, with the latter getting most votes in the end (only one song could be nominated).
ReplyMay 22, 2023 at 7:51 pm #1205438260The fact that “Anti-Hero” might be her first SOTY win (before y’all jump me I’m highlighting might because it is objectively top 3 at the moment and certainly big enough to win) is something so disgusting to me. It will literally be her worst song to be nominated for the award. I can’t.

Is the serious threat to beat Midnights in the room with us right now?
May 18, 2023 at 1:22 pm #1205431898I don’t know how Taylor always manages to pick the least competitive years to release, but it amazes me. Absolutely nothing is a serious threat to beat Midnights so far…
April 28, 2023 at 9:13 am #1205413729Has anyone mentioned “Cupid” by FIFTY FIFTY?
– It has been the biggest song on TikTok for the past 2 months
– Currently smashing hard on Spotify (#6 Global, #3 Global combined with the original, and #12 on US Spotify)
– Just entered top 20 of UK Singles Chart and is projected to enter top 40 of Hot 100 next week with no radio yet
– And the group just signed to Warner Records (Dua Lipa’s label) and are sending the song to radio on May 9The song itself is total earcandy and sounds very similar to recent Pop Duo winner “Kiss Me More”. If US radio ends up stanning it I can see it actually being a contender!
ReplyApril 23, 2023 at 6:12 pm #1205408025This year was kinda underwhelming. They need some A-LISTERS next year to restore their status.
ReplyApril 5, 2023 at 4:58 pm #1205379426NewJeans – OMG
Oh honey I would gag so hard! With Pop Duo seemingly being so boring this year it is far time we get some actually good K-pop nominated. “ANTIFRAGILE” and “Cupid” next!!
ReplyApril 5, 2023 at 4:53 pm #1205379424Why wasn’t About Damn Time, the Record of The Year, nominated for Best Music Video?
Neither was “Leave The Door Open”. Non-committee Best Music Video has so far been a fairly good ROTY pre-cursor for nominations (was 7/8 in 2022 and 4/6 in 2023), but it is odd how in both years the actual ROTY winner missed.
April 1, 2023 at 10:52 am #1205373442And the Swift + Del Rey “collaboration” is definitely not going to be accepted as a duo/group by the Recording Academy.
I don’t see why it shouldn’t. I mean it is more of a duo song than something like “The Middle” or “Stay” (by Zedd & Alessia Cara). If you’re going off “I Bet You Think About Me”‘s Country Solo submission then I think that was Taylor herself doing category fraud than the Grammys moving it.
In 2022 LNX submitted “One Of Me” to Pop Duo where all Elton John does is play the piano for 15 seconds. In 2020 Lady Gaga submitted “I’ll Never Love Again” to Pop Duo where all Bradley Cooper does is sing for 10 seconds at the end of the song… so there is definitely no rule that would disallow “Snow On The Beach”.
ReplyApril 1, 2023 at 10:39 am #1205373440If All Too Well didn’t win SOTY, Anti-Hero won’t.
While I don’t see Anti-Hero winning, I completely disagree with this statement. Anti-Hero has a much better shot than All Too Well. Anti-Hero is a genuine smash hit with staying power, it’s Taylor’s biggest song since 2014. All Too Well might have been acclaimed, but this is the Grammys…
ATW was a very weak SOTY contender with that Pop Solo miss, alphabet is only reason why it got in. Anti-Hero would be getting a SOTY nomination regardless of its alphabet position.
April 1, 2023 at 10:16 am #1205373427That pop duo lineup is not happening. Too many non-hits/album tracks for what is the most hit-based Grammy category.
My top 5 right now would be:
– Boy’s A Liar
– Calm Down
– Creepin’
– Shakira: Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol. 53
– Snow On The BeachBoy’s A Liar and Snow On The Beach feel like the only strong solid contenders for a nomination.
I put the Shakira song on there because it was a big MOMENT within the Latin community, who have proven to be decently impactful with the Un Dia and Moscow Mule nominations, and Bizarrap is high on the list.
Selena Gomez is Grammy poison but Calm Down is a big hit (although it would need a live version to be eligible).
Creepin’ is a wild card because Metro is kinda low on the list, but it is a big big hit so it’s def in the conversation right now. It could be submitted to R&B Performance or Melodic Rap though…Escapism would be my #6, but I’m down on it. It did not even manage to go top 20. It will def be forgotten as hell by nominations time.
