So the Grammy’s just wrapped.
It was equal parts bold and an absolute disaster for any producers trying to keep the show PG-13.
This kid loved it though.
Trevor Noah for some reason hosted for the 10th year in a row.
And he kept hammering on us viewers at home to donate to wildfire relief.
Now on to the stuff that everybody will be talking about this week.
If there was ever a moment to truly question the Grammys credibility, this is it.
More of a “makeup award” than anything.
Or when Scorcesefinallywon Best Director in 2007 forThe Departed.
Yes, great movie.
But of all his works and nominations,thatswhat hes winning for?
It’s not underserved of the winner, but it’s disingenuous by the academy.
Beyonce, the woman who gave usLemonadeand Renaissance, winning Best Country Album forCowboy Carter?
Give me a break guys.
Some would call this pandering.
Sure, its got a little twang and some steel guitar, but lets be real.
This wasnt country music.
Beyonces no doubt a global force.
But come on.Cowboy Carterisnt her best work by any stretch of the imagination.
Also, what the fuck is up with Jay Z and Beyonce?
Two hugs in celebration?
This looks like two business partners celebrating.
Not husband and wife.
What the fuck are we doing here guys?
Lets be clear, this isnt music that elevates culture; its music designed to tear down another man.
And that, somehow, earned him three Grammys?
Its not like Lamars other work hasnt earned accolades in the past.
But any fan HAS to admit, his real work is much more worthy of the honors.
This song itself is more about tearing Drake down than it is about any lyrical brilliance.
There’s 0.0000% chance Tupac would have ever won an award for “Hit em Up”.
Or that Nas would have been honored for “Ether”.
But somehow today this one flies?
I don’t get it.
There is no chance in the world he ever steps foot at these awards again after that right?
Who could blame him?
At this point, its safe to say the Grammys have officially jumped the shark.
Its a shame, really, because its musics biggest night, and it should mean something.
But instead, its just another year of questionable decisions and head-scratching victories.
Well this was far from controversial.
She even went full savage, saying, Labels, we got you, but do you got us?
Honestly, I was just waiting for her to throw a mic at the audience.
It was a bold, unexpected moment, and one that the industry clearly needs to hear.
Sabrina Carpenter was a babe as usual.
And she killed her performance.
She has this whole “Vegas showgirl meets variety show” gimmick going and she’s crushing it.
Shakira also made waves by winning Best Latin Pop Album forLas Mujeres Ya No Lloran.
And she performed and showed her hips still tell no lies.
There was a nice tribute to the life and impact of Quincy Jones that Will Smith introduced.
Well, folks, now hes back.
Because the Recording Academy now claims to have a younger, more diverse voting body.
How nice of them.
But was it the game-changing, career-altering performance we were expecting after all that hype?
As Kelly said, “he totally mailed it in.”
And of course it had to invoke plenty of satanic ritual bullshit into it.
Because we can’t have a Grammys without it.
Still, The Weeknd getting a standing ovation was probably the most predictable thing of the night.
Benson Boone crushed it and got women everywhere nice and moist.
The level of disrespect for a legend like Babyface is appalling.
Fire these reporters into the sun.)
