Lorde being shut out of Pop Vocal was so weird to me. She made the top 20 for AOTY, but missed Pop Vocal. Does that mean that Lana, Coldplay, and Imagine Dragons were in the top 20 for AOTY as well?

No. It’s not necessarily like that.

She was likely in AoTY TOP20 because of the vote she got from other genres. AoTY nominees are voted on by all genre categories, not only the category the album is submitted for. So a rap voter for example could have voted for Melodrama.

Joanne was winning the poll for Pop Vocal Album for months… Only in the last week Divide became the winner

People on here hate Ed Sheeran with a passion. All it takes is a look at his thread to realize that. In my opinion it was just wishful thinking, mainly by people who aren’t serious predictors.

Most serious predictors agreed Ed Sheeran was winning Vocal Album.

µJust like how you predicted Dangerous Woman to beat 25, but that doesn’t mean it was a popular prediction.

That’s not true. Gaga fans were sure she was winning that year.

This is not true. I know some people thought Million Reasons had a chance (it was most likely the runner-up anyway). But I haven’t seen ANY Gaga fan on here who actually predicted Joanne to win over Divide.

Gaga has the 3rd highest win ratio among her contemporary artists who receieved at least 15 noms over the years. She’s only behind Bruno Mars and Adele.

I’m sorry but if that’s not Grammy darling for you, I don’t know what is.

Oh Gee she lost to a x12 week #1 mega hit from someone who just won SoTY, she can’t be a Grammy darling! Come on, even Grammy darlings can lose sometimes (see Bruno and how he lost two awards to Lorde).

Bad Romance and No Tears Left To Cry hit the hardest.

Had Ariana submitted NTLTC in RoTY, it would’ve probably gotten in over The Middle.

Honestly, I would take NTLTC over The Middle in either category any day of the week and I don’t even like Ariana’s music.

The Middle was such a shameful nomination.

As of right now, Gaga is safe to win at least 2 awards: Best Song Written For Visual Media and Best Compilation Soundtrack.

Billboard predictions are always off by a mile. Same with Paul Grein.

Honestly, Golderby combined odds tend to be closer to the actual list of nominees.

His 6-year-old mixtape just debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 a few weeks ago. Lol. He’s fine.

and fell to #80 the following week.

We’ll see. But I feel he took a long time to release his debut album. He didn’t seize on the time when he was popular. So now it may be too late.

I have a feeling Chance The Rapper’s album will underperform.

The hype around him seems to have vanished. Ed’s collaboration with him, despite being very good, really underperformed. I Don’t Care, Beautiful People, South Of The Border and Antisocial all seemed to do better in terms of stream numbers.

Ariana doesn’t give a shit about Grammys lol.

Yes she does lol. People who don’t have a great record with the Grammy’s pretend they don’t care. But actually they do care. If she didnt she wouldn’t have tweeted about her win almost instantly (she was probably watching live).

Winning a Grammy is the highest honor in the music industry. If Drake had as many Grammy’s as Kendrick, I bet you he wouldn’t be complaining about them.

Ariana Grande really ended Ken.

Keep dreaming.

The guy is 76 so it’s only normal that he seeks retirement at this age.

Ariana’s drama had no effect whatsoever. Even the ratings went up.

But anyway, can we just talk about how hot the new producer is?

Say Something probably got in due to Chris Stapleton. ME! is not the same case.

Me! could get a nomination due to Brendan Urie too. I’m not ruling it out. he had a fantastic year and the voters can go with Me! to reward him and Taylor at once.

A few pages ago when we were talking about Spirit, everybody was trashing and shading Beyoncé while comparing her to Gaga. And I know most of those random people were Little Monsters because I’ve seen them posting before, like that Gasper guy and the one who uses glasses in his picture. I wasn’t talking about regular posters like you or Power. Just look at the likes of any reply trashing Beyoncé and you’ll see I’m not wrong about it.

To generalize and say Gaga fans don’t like Beyoncé is wrong. Again, I linked her fandom website and most people were actually rooting for her. They have had two songs together when Beyoncé was into Pop and are friends with each other, not rivals. So I dont see why Gaga fans would dislike Beyoncé as you say.

But anyway… I think we’ve had enough talk about Beyoncé already today.

beyoncé literally freestyled the first and second verses to partition in the music studio. she writes. but even if she didn’t, there is no denying the fact that she’s had a good year, and it’s unlikely that she goes home on grammy night grammy-less. 

This is true. Beyoncé doesn’t always write. But there are many songs where she actually wrote a part of the song, including Partition and Formation. Formation verses were also written by her. The producers said they only had the hook and the chorus when they sent her the song, and she finished it.
