Interesting list, they included a lot of contenders who didn’t make the cut last year. A few nice surprises.

I’m really so disappointed in this direction. I was hoping we’d get something similar to self-titled. A lot of popstars these days feel the need to re-invent themselves and do something different everytime and sometimes it just ends up being very underwhelming.

It really doesn’t have to be this way. There’s nothing with revisiting some older…[Read more]

Okay sorry but this is terrible. I wish she got nominated for “Safe and Sound” because that was actually a good contender. This song just feels so lazy.

1. Drunk In Love
2. Déjà Vu
3. Crazy In Love
4. XO
5. If I Were A Boy
6. Single Ladies
7. Formation
8. Run The World
9. Break My Soul

Pretty sure everyone has him on ignore by now.

I don’t like it. It feels unfinished and gets too repetitive after two minutes.

This will probably be the year Beyoncé wins AOTY if the album does well.

Adele is not nearly as undeniable as she as with 21 and 22. Her album unfortunately failed to spawn a second hit.

There is a bit of skepticism but I think it can play into their advantage. If Gaga learned anything from ASIB and HOG is that it’s better to start with low expectations and overdeliver. Everyone thought ASIB remake was a bad idea. And it ended up a critics and commercial hit. Whereas HOG was way overhyped and didn’t deliver (except at the BO).

Didn’t expect Gaga to get another big role this soon but here we are lol

I think she’ll release this Friday maybe?

Ed Sheeran is unlikely to happen. Pop voters moved on from him a long time ago. He just had many inexplicable misses recently, including last year with his lead comeback single “Bad Habits”.

Right now the likely contenders are Adele, Harry and Lizzo.

We can’t really say this, when she literally won the category the previous year with a non-charting song lol

It seems that every year one of the Pop Solo picks is pretty random. This year “Right On Time”, last year “Yummy”, the year before “Spirit” and the year prior “Joanne”.

So I’m inclined to think there’ll be a surprise as usual in Pop…[Read more]

As a fan, I personally don’t want Gaga to win for this. She already won this category recently. And if she wins another Oscar this soon, I’m not sure she’ll have a winning chance for an acting role in the near future.

I think a nomination and an epic performance would be enough.

“I Ain’t Worried” isn’t winning though. Sounds too bubblegum.

Gucci is not really wrong. Right now, I would vote for Easy On Me for Pop Solo. Somehow even through her underperformance, Adele still delivered better than her competition.

The only exception is maybe Woman if it’s submitted. But About Damn Time and As It Was are just meh for me.

I wouldn’t give her AOTY though since there is already a good alternative.

As someone who loved Watermelon Sugar and Adore You, I found “As It Was” rather bland and lazy. Don’t get the appeal. The instrumental is quite catchy though.

Pop Solo:
1. Adele – Easy On Me
2. Harry Styles – As It Was
3. Lizzo – About Damn Time

Easy On Me will win this thing easily. But am I missing any other safe bets? Is Woman eligible?

Gaga’s Hold My Hand could sneak it if it continues rising on the radio chart. But overall it seems to be a very weak year.

Young Thug part ruined Potion. As much as I liked Dua’s part and the instrumental, Young Thug messy parts were just totally unnecessary.

Tom Cruise is really coming for his 4th nomination. I think it’ll get in BP too.

Yeah exactly. No one is infallible, not even the greatest of the greatest. That role was just bad and she shouldn’t blame the critics for it. She should just learn from it and move on.

I would walk out at that point lmao…
