Taylor definitely doesn’t have sex appeal but she looked cute playing dress up. 

Considering she has screwed everything under the sun in terms of young guys in the industry, apparently people do find her “sexy.”  

I don’t get it though. But more power to her for getting some of the hot pieces of ass that she has.   And I definitely wouldn’t turn Calvin Harris away.

“4th of July (Fireworks)” & “Brave” should have been massive hits for Kelis. “Fleshtone” remains one of the best dance album of the decade. Sorely underrated.

It didn’t really “flop” but I always thought “When You Believe” by Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston would have easily been a #1 smash. It didn’t even make the Top 10.

I am sure I’ll think of more.

Beyonce losing AOTY was no surprise.  The race was always between Bey and Beck.  What was surprising is that she lost Best Urban Contemporary Album.  That should have been a slam-dunk win for her.  Her album is way better than Pharrell Williams’.  The critical acclaim, sales and name factor should have pushed her to a win.  I believe Pharrell won due to his massive productions and popularity as a producer.

It may not have been a surprise to those who took the history of the Grammy’s into consideration, but pretty much the entire board thought she was a 100% lock.   I got tons of flack for that article saying she wasn’t.  I knew the album was not going to appeal to the large voting branch, despite its surprise release and visual aspect.   I also maybe suspect some Beyonce fatigue set it; so much was made of the fact that she becamse the most nominated female artist ever, and I have to think some started to question how worthy she was.  Yes, she still won her three awards. but losing Urban Cont. Album was especially surprising and maybe a little telling.

Since the Grammy’s are long over, just curious as to what you all think happened with Beyonce?  

Why did she lose AOTY?   MANY on here stated she was a lock to win; I said from the beginning she was far from a lock and when I wrote the article backing up why it believed that, many dismissed it as being clickbait, me being biased, not knowing my Grammy history, etc.   I still maintain the reasons I pointed out were why she ultimately lost.

So what are your thoughts about why she lost AOTY and hell, even Urban Contemporary Album?

That is some CRAZY succss she is experiencing right now.   CRAZY, but deserved.  1989 is great album and was a huge risk for her.   Glad it paid off.

Theron.  One of the greatest female performances ever captured on film.  Anyone else winning that year would have been a laughable joke.

Has anyone else heard about the rumored “Bad Blood” remix with Kanye?! Could be major…

YUCK!  I hope this is just that…a rumor.   Right now Taylor is ruling–she doesn’t need to resort to this sort of gimmick.   And screw Kanye…she definitely doesn’t need to make ammends with his douchy ass.

I actually think he is the Lead, despite the limited screentime.   The fact that is character is crucial to driving the plot and, as mentioned above, his presence is felt throughout the film, definitely makes an argument for him being a Lead.

And she still has more Grammy’s than Christina…….

Christina’s six Grammys are all very well deserved. I love Taylor but some of her wins are questionable. For instance Song and Country Solo for “Mean”? I don’t think so.

I am not going to disagree with you, but it is what it is.  

I truly respect Christina.  Her voice is phenomenal.    But some on here truly exaggerate her relevance and success in order to take a bash at other artists who are having far more success than Christina could ever hope to.   I’ll be impressed when she can have a SOLO hit and/or an album that sells more than 500K in its total run.

It really wasn’t as bad as I was expecting for a Katy Perry performance, but that isn’t really saying much.   Just had me thinking. “why is she so popular?” the entire time.

I’m just going to start giving your posts here 5 stars to counter whoever keeps giving you the 1 star….haha.

PS–I think “Style” would be a great single.   Has such a nostalgic, cool vibe to it.

Man, love her or hate her, you have to give props to Taylor.  She IS the biggest thing in the industry and her popularity seems to just keep growing.   Selling over 1.3 million is no small feat.   And she did it with no gimmicks.  No surprise release.  Just the music and her personality at the helm.   Morever, she took a huge risk with this album in alienating her country fans, but even they seem to be embracing her new direction.    

On a side note, “Style” is really growing on me.  It has such a nostalic feel to it.
