I agree, it should've been more organized.
And we should've had more time to listen to more things and think about it.

Ace Reject, the moderator, just said that only 5 Bey stans were on the committee. AND Beyonce has her metascore to prove that the professionals love her.

Bro, but didn't you read? "FIFTEEN people put 4 as their favorite album of the year; only five were certified members of the Hive." And receipts? Well, we could start with Metacritic. Then, we can end with the Year End lists.

I told you before:
Satellites. Black Power. Doc. Attitude. Deuces. BnPac.
Those were the only Bey "stans" that participated. That makes up a sixth of all the voters.

Two major issues that I see: This is ATRL, so people are mostly here for mainstream pop music. And nobody knew what they **** they were doing so it became a matter of populism.

This was a nice practice run for next year.

I never take the time to organize my thoughts on music throughout the year. The last thing I enjoyed is always what's on my mind for things like this.
Nor do I listen to everything that I should, sadly. It takes me awhile to get around to it all.

Next time you should include links to all submissions and nominees in the ballot messages. That way every one has a chance to become familiar with every song, every video and every album.

Well, IDK know about the committee's assembly but I just made a sophisticated guess based on those results that don't correspond with the current popularity and success of the biggest artists today 
And surely professional can love her but it doesn't mean they don't love any other artists...

Do you know how many different acts/songs/albums were nominated? That is why Spotify and real critics are around.

Tinychat would be nice.
And a listening party of sorts.
This was nice though, I'm ready for 2012.

Ch this is not the AMAs or the VMAs or the 2011 Grammys. This is a critics awards show. We look at quality, not popularity. Sometimes they go hand in hand. Often cases, not.
See, that's why you're confused. Don't even know what kinda awards show this is.

Who are you to say what's authentic and what is not? If it's a playful award, don't get upset.

Well, I know but it's kinda useless. And the quality is a subjective opinion... That's why these awards are mostly just booby prizes IMO

Too bad. A much better choice than the top three.

We are here for quality not popularity or commercial success.
