i blame adele for making everyone think that they have to perform ballads to look authentic + be accepted by old white grammy voters. we need a cold pop bitch to sweep in and make everything vapid again.
The Grammys have always been boring ballads all night.
Only difference being that only Adele can get away with it.
i mean, only madonna and gags looked like they had fun performing, but the first one's senile and the second one has to feign it because she's singing with an 18th century oak tree.
Rihanna and 45Seconds shows that she is artistically ahead of BÉN, who delivered a boring, trend-hopping gimmick that was all producer/writer-driven. He would never dare to go fully acoustic and bear emotion for a lead comeback singel.
Her Grammy wins in U/C album and Rap/Sung show that she has more industry respect than BÉN, who can't even beat a one-hit flash in the pan ablum like GIRL.
The sells in both singel and ablum obviously speak for themselves, the people like her more than BÉN.
More and more we are seeing that BÉN is falling further and further behind, and appearing less relevant and less vital to the industry. He is a gimmicky sideshow. He needs to change his game instead of copying others.
