It sucks that real talent will go unnoticed.
Metacritic
MBDTF: 94
21: 76

WTF? 
If Adele isn't real talent then I don't know what it is. 76 is a great score by the way.

If Adele wins, talent wouldn't go unnoticed. If you are debating reviews and artistic merit, then argue that. But arguing talent when it comes to Adele and Kanye is futile. A 94 on Metacritc =/= more talent. It just means that critics favored the album more.

What I meant was that 21 is going to win just because Adele is the next big star even though the album does not deserve it whatsoever. She is talented, yes, but that album is not that great and definitely no where near MBDTF at all. Every song is about her getting betrayed by some boy or the other way around. I didn't mean to say Adele isn't talented. 
I was reading some of the reviews and it makes sense why it only got a 76.

Adele's husky, powerful voice is what keeps you listening, but here's hoping she experiences something besides betrayal before writing her next record.

If 21 feels, on the whole, like an object lesson in how to indulge in easily avoided mistakes, the most trenchant criticism of the album comes not from anything that will end up being written about it, but rather from its final song.

Adele is repeatedly cast as the heartbroken survivor. That role serves to foreground her mighty impressive vocals, but also encourage the showboating overkill that is a staple of the X Factor generation.

For album of the year Kanye deserves to win, no doubt. His album is a true masterpiece. Each and every song is flawless in pretty much all aspects.
ADELE will probably take it, though. Her hype is just too much. Critical acclaim + the best selling? There's no way to beat that.
Taylor getting nominated wouldn't surprise me at all but neither would her being snubbed.
Beyonce won't get a nom and I don't see GaGa getting one either with the way things are going.

Well, if Kanye wants to win, then he will have to play the game like everyone else. There are over 13,000 NARAS voters and not all of them will sit up there and read every review to determine if something is good - because let's face it, everyone has his or her own taste and does not need a critic to tell them what's good or bad. Critics are people with opinions, too. Kanye hasn't promoted much this era, so it would be his own fault if he loses.

Which is why the grammy's are ******** They are not really picking the best winners. They are picking winners based on commercial success which should not be a factor in the process of deciding what the "Album of the Year" is. Those 13,000 NARAS voters will eat up Adele's little album and she will easily win, even though her then "Album of the Year" will not really be the "Album of the Year"

WHAT'S MY NAME could be nominated because it was the biggest rap-sung song this year, and Rihanna has won in that category twice before... although they may nominate ALL OF THE LIGHTS? and kill several birds with one stone; making it tougher to recognize the winners.
I hope FRANK OCEAN gets some kind of love, with Nostalgia, ULTRA being re-released on the 26

Was I making sense?

Kanye deserves it, but it won't happen.
He had like 8 noms. and lost Best New Artist to Maroon 5, I don't see how he could beat Adele after being probably the biggest artist this year.

All awards are ********; actors campaign for Oscars. Also, Kanye would disagree with you. He said the best selling album should always win Album of the Year on several occasions.

But you still can''t deny that Kanye's album is stronger than Adele's. That's clearly what the poster wanted to say but through bad diction and vague expressions.

 He probably only said that because he was mad that he didn't win and his album was the best selling one.

Yes. Party will win if it gets released as a single most likely.

Well, he should have said that. Because Adele has "real talent" just like Kanye does. And yes, Kanye has the better album.

He said Usher should have won in 2005 because he had the best selling album when he was contending, but they gave it to Ray Charles. He also said Justin Bieber should have taken Best New Artist because he sold well.

And Maroon 5 just had a hit last year and album went gold. They are still releasing music and finding success. Let's not get ahead of ourselves with the stanism.

When submitting a nomination for BNA, it helps to have a hit and a critical acclaimed album, right?
Is it possible for (and God forbid) Waka Flocka to be nominated, he has the hit a the critics.

Justin Bieber, really? I never heard about that  it must have been one of those "in the moment" things, I hope.  And what does it matter if Kanye disagrees with me? I have my own opinion too right? My opinion doesn't have to match the opinion of an artist I like.
