Celeb News: EW : Better Grammy nominees

Yassin512

Entertainment Weekly picked better nominees in 9 major categories. Here are some.

Quote:

Record of the Year : Beyoncé, “Drunk in Love”

The Record of the Year category is meant to honor the sound quality of a big song, and few songs released during this year’s eligibility period sounded as big as Bey’s boneshaking ode to liquored-up romance.

Quote:

Song of the Year : Lana Del Rey, “West Coast”

Song of the Year, on the other hand, is about the structures underlying the music, and the lead single from Ultraviolence is as precisely machined and tightly wound as a high-end timepiece.

Quote:

Best New Artist : FKA Twigs

Iggy Azalea and Sam Smith were undoubtedly two of the year’s biggest breakouts (fellow nominees Haim are still waiting on T.Swift’s endorsement to kick in). But they don’t give off the kind of crazy pop-star vibes that Twigs has, with her Bowie-esque tendency to release hugely accessible music while also trying as hard as possible to weird out the squares.

Quote:

Best Rock Album : Lana Del Rey, Ultraviolence

With its woozy atmosphere, bluesy riffs, and richly dense drums-and-guitar-heavy arrangements, Ultraviolence is an even more solid rock album than Dan Auerbach’s Grammy-nominated LP with his regular gig.

Quote:

Album of the Year : Beyoncé, Beyoncé

Okay, there’s actually not a better nominee for this category than Beyoncé. Even though Sam Smith will still probably walk away with it.

Flawless taste tbh

. I agree with most. The SOY and ROY categories are a joke this year.

GrandMomCookies

I agree

NewRihannaStan

Literally no but Beyonce winning AOTY

Royal Culture

They better stan for Lana

UnusualBoy

Sounds on point

KanYe!

They really should have put up DIL for SOTY/ROTY

qurl

Truly, DrIL deserved a nom for ROTY. Freshest R&B/hip-hop track in a while! But it's easy to push out 'less important' genres, I guess

that irrevocable praise for AOTY tho

when will it stop?

qurl

also FKA def deserved to snatch a nom for BNA and Lana could have stood a couple of noms as well

mathekr

I agree, specially with twigs. Her snub was ridiculous.

I actually expected FKA twigs to be nominated as best alternative album since she broke out a bit but not even a BNA nom was disappointing. But the Grammy's don't care about quality anyway.

Lana + FKA twigs really made among the best music of the year.
BEYONCÈ wouldn't be my choice since there are much better albums musically but I can't say she doesn't deserve it for putting, or trying to put, attention back to albums as a whole.

Roman Holiday

They're speaking in terms that would go over most of the Grammy committee's heads.

Shelter

Looks good.

Kings.

I agree with almost all of them

judaskills

They better stan for Lana!

Yassin512

The Lana snubs are embarrassing tbh

I mean I get that she should have submitted UV for Best Alternative but still (Most of the Best Pop Vocal Album nominees are so bad) . It deserved an AOY nod (certainly better than GIRL and X) and West Coast deserved a Best Pop Solo Performance.
Drunk In Love also deserved a ROY nod I mean the production is perfect I just found out that it was not nominated I thought that was a given

and the FKA snub is just wrong.
I think after this years nominations we can all agree that the Grammys are just for ratings.

OK, then PLEASE, write down which albums were better and more deserving in past year. Please do.
