The thing that bothers me is this erasure as if black artists have never won AOTY, and Beyonce is some punished figure taking arrows for black people everywhere. In reality Stevie won the award multiple times, when that shyt was way more racist than it can possibly be today. Jon Batiste won it two years ago. This just reeks of elitism where if Beyonce can't have it, nobody else's wins matter.
It reminds me of when Jada Pinkett wanted an Oscars boycott because Will Smith wasn’t nominated for his terrible Nigerian accent. Suddenly, they didn’t ask for a boycott when he won. Welp. He boycotted himself now for 10 years.

Because Harry Styles has been a darling and personal friends of high level music executives since he was in One Direction. He was never, ever going to lose. When he beat Beyoncé, that’s when I knew they were going to try to make push him as a David Bowie type rockstar. Literally in the middle of their popularity when he was 19-20, he was constantly photographed out at events and dinners with Jimmy Iovine and other music execs at that level and started wearing a Star of David. He’s not even Jewish :mjlol:
All I know is that album was mid. No way AOTY worthy

That people can't complain while also reaping the benefits of the same thing

Grammys have even created categories for Beyonce and Jigga/Kanye to get more Grammy wins
We fought for inclusion and got it
We fought for award recognition and got it

Now nikkas wanna fight for mediocre albums to win AOTY awards cause mediocre Cac albums won

When the reality is that she ain't got no Miseducation in her 😐

Renaissance is a masterpiece.

Never been a Beyoncé fan but she was in her bag for that one. Fire from start to finish. No skippables.

The Grammys will never give Aoty to an album that requires 50-eleven writers to come up with some hot sauce in my bag, release your wiggle bullsht.

If her 30 something other awards aren't enough, too bad.

The goal post is constantly moving lol

The Body Guard, a soundtrack, won AOTY ....that featured several artists, dozens of producers and song writers...it's biggest hit was the cover of a song that was over 20 yrs old

And it's not just about B

The likes of Kendrick, Kanye, etc have been snubbed as well...both of whom have at least a dozen Grammys

Kdot has a Pulitzer but no AOTY?

Out of it's 64 yrs of existence only 12 blk artist have won AOTY

And before you say why care about white validation... Consider we are here watching, discussing the show

I agree with this. Its not racism but it is odd
