Originally posted by Lights and Waves You're saying this...yet Beyonce won three Grammys tonight and hold's a record for most Grammys for a woman.

Originally posted by CxMxPUNK How are those things irrelevant? The Album of the Year is by and large always the best selling albums of the year, with one or two obscure/alternative/Indy albums thrown in. There's no official criteria that I know of for AOTY. You can't say "this album sounds better than this one" when comparing two completely different genres of music. So what's the criteria? If you asked me off the top of my head what I think it is, Id say it is what was the best, most impactful and culturally relevant album of the year? No doubt that was Beyonce.

Originally posted by Jezang Looz Well at least he didn't get up on stage and take the mic from Beck. So this is technically and IMPROVEMENT.

Originally posted by MaoMars so freaking arrogant Being so disrespectful to Beck. Like Beck isn't a multi-instrumentalist, talented musician who produced and wrote all his albums. He doesn't need to bow down to Beyoncé and her album. He is a musician.

Originally posted by Lights and Waves Let me add this to my sig.

Add it. I know you pop stans don't get it, but don't be fooled. No other award show cares about black artistry. The BET Awards is an EVENT for the black community. It's our time to shine.

The Grammys didn't even air the rap categories.

IN THE CATEGORIES WHERE IT'S NEAR IMPOSSIBLE FOR HER TO LOSE IN. It's a given for Bey to win majority of the Grammys she won.

This is where the issue begins. Beyonce has shown excellence in her genres. Why can that excellence not translate to the general field when she more than deserved it over anyone else? Her most acclaimed album being paid dust? How ****ing silly. If you don't find something wrong with that, that's a knock to your intelligence not everyone else complaining about it nor her supporters or people who "suddenly hate Beck". They have a right to be livid. Once again the Grammys prove, no matter how good you are as a POC, you'll never be better than any random white person doing the same thing you do even if they're worse than you.

EDIT: Not some of you seriously thinking it's okay Bey has 20 grammys in the "Blacks only" categories and not in the categories where everyone should be judge on a fair scale. Didn't know we went back to the 1960s. I'm sure the last two performances took some of you back. :biblio;

Originally posted by Gagamon Tonight made me realize how ****ing disgusting they really are. Let him have his damn moment, you egotistical ****. **** you and you kissing Beyonce's feet 24/7. I needed to get that out.

Originally posted by MissedTheTrain Bringing race into this is just making you guys look ridiculously ignorant. Acting like the only reason he won is because "white men vote" and he's a "white guy with a guitar". Like....absolutely ridiculous.

I agreed with him UNTIL he said that Beck needed to respect Beyonce's artistry. Beck doesn't owe a DAMN THING to any of these artists. He's been in the game for over 20 years. Kanye could shut the **** up on that point.

He's something else
