"I had a big huge fight this year trying to get Beyoncé to be acknowledged as Urban Contemporary," says Tricky Stewart, who produced Rihanna's "Umbrella" and Beyoncé's I Am…Sasha Fierce, and has a role in the Grammy selection process. "They told me that it was a pop song. 'Drunk in Love' is not a pop song. It wasn't intended to be 'I Kissed a Girl.' It became popular, and there's a difference."

I didn't know if it was already posted or not

Because Pharrell won it

Latch

Yeah, it was posted already
It's some ******** tbh

Lucyyyyyyyyy

or maybe it lost because people didn't think it was as good as the winner's album.

Pharrell won it because maybe voters think that Bey was gonna win AOTY so it would be his consolation prize. Thats my take from it. Or maybe Beyonce doesn't have as much grammy clout as we perceive her to have.

he would have won it if BEYONCE got it since he's credited on the album

But she is urban contemporary, she has been that since she became solo ..

But BEYONCE is more urban than GIRL

GIRL belongs more to pop especially with a song like Happy.

Almighty Gaga

The better album won.

and it seemed like that's what they were doing
it seemed like all the pieces were in place for Bey to win AOTY
that's why the snub stung so bad for me

they ****ing tried it

She lost because Pharrell's album was seen as better by the academy and received more votes.

Tricky Stewart sounds a damn mess with his reasoning. Happy is more pop than ANYTHING on BEYONCE and he still won.

GIRL is a basic, one-dimensional album
it's by no means the better album

Bey really stepped on her toes in this era. Some people are trying it so hard with her.

UnusualBoy

Pharrell's album isn't even urban at least not as much as BEYONCÉ.

Not really. It only applies to AOTY.

Haunter

The better album won.

Summertime Love

I would say that Happy is a pop song.

The Grammy Academy disagrees.

Which is the point Tricky was making: Beyonce's album was more urban and more deserving. You're so filled with hate that you find it hard to read and comprehend like a human who's been through at least elementary school.
