I hope Cardi will pick up some awards this year. Her album is very well written and quite personal.

I’m glad that the most successful female rap singer is no longer an annoying narcissist who’s only good at writing stupid lyrics (aka nicki minaj).

I was actually disappointed she didn’t close with Halo. I dislike Love on Top

I think this episode is the strongest so far in this season. The season started with pretty boring episodes, but it got more and more interesting with every episode, until reaching its peak so far, episode 9.

While the song itself doesn’t have potential to be a hit, the music video is definitely very good.

I hate to break it to you, but Ariana Grande became one of those “slutty” pop singers that the Academy don’t like. With “Side To Side” (a generic pop song about walking side to side from too much sex) just ruined her image in the eyes of the Academy.

I doubt she’ll be considered. She’s in the Britney Spears category now.

On a sidenote,…[Read more]

So far this is shaping up to be a weaker year than last year. I won’t rule out Black Panther yet.

Unlike last year, I can’t think of any album that can be considered a lock for AoTY.

I never liked SZA, but All the stars is a decent song.

I also hope that God’s Plan will get the respect it deserves from the Academy. Not only it’s a great song,…[Read more]

Taylor Swift’s only chance in the general field is an AoTY nomination for the album. She won’t get a SoTY or RoTY nomination.

Reportedly, Beyoncé registered few new songs in the past few weeks, with very few writing credits (sometimes only her and someone else).

If the album is released this year, depending on how good it is, it might actually win.

I don’t think it has to do with race. I think whenever Beyoncé was a serious contender for AoTY, they had to put another u…[Read more]

People who are predicting Culture II for AoTY are simply delusional.

It comes from Migos who are not only disliked by the Academy, but don’t have compelling success either. All the hype about this album and it failed to reach 200k in sales in its first week.

What makes you think that the committee will choose Migos over other traditional choices…[Read more]

Well, if sales are very important as you say, that actually boosts Taylor Swift’s chances.

Her album is the best selling album of the year so far. I’m not a fan of it, but it didn’t plunge as you say. Currently it’s N13, three months after release, last week it was in the TOP10 in BB200.

So if they nominate based on Sales, Taylor Swift would…[Read more]

Pink won’t be nominated for AoTY. Her album failed to produce any hit. And the sales were inflated by the Tour Bundle deal.

If the committee had the same logic as yours they wouldn’t have nominated Melodrama, yet they did. I won’t be surprised if they nominate Reputation, to avoid backlash over snubbing successful female artists. They responded to the prior year’s backlash about diversity, so I’m pretty sure that this year’s backlash about female nominees will…[Read more]

I don’t think Taylor Swift will be snubbed in AoTY category. The recent backlash over female nominees/winners forcing the Academy’s president to even pull out of a press conference, will help her chances.

I think the female representation will be improved in the general field categories next year, and who can think of a more successful female…[Read more]

No Destiny’s Child was.

Sam Smith chances may be slim, because his album may get forgotten by the time the nomination cycle begins.

This year for example, only one album was nominated from late 2016, and that is Joanne.

But, if no future good pop albums are released, he may actually stand a chance considering there are only 4 serious contenders besides him: Taylor…[Read more]

I’m going to only name snubs which means songs that were submitted but not chosen. If Someone Like You was submitted it would’ve definitely been nominated. This are not necessarily based on my taste, but only based on whether they deserved a nomination.

Lady Gaga – Bad Romance

Beyoncé – Drunk In Love

Taylor Swift – Trouble

Sam Hunt – Take…[Read more]

Good debut for Say Something considering it didn’t get radio support in the last week. With radio support this week, it’ll climb the charts.
