the Grammys nominate things that have high to moderate sales and recognition in all categories, which is why some argue that there is nothing professional about them. it's actually a lot more professional than you think. yes they use albums sales in the decision making process, but only for nominations. when it comes down to deciding who wins, they get professionals in the fields of producing, singing, songwriting, like professionals in every aspect of the world of music. they judge the quality of the albums and songs from the nominations, which is based solely on sales and popularity (artist wise).

So you agree Fearless deserved to win? And you agree that such professionals couldn't possibly be swayed by "sympathy" voting?

I don't agree, Dave Matthews has one amazing album: Busted Stuff, not BWATGK.

[LadyGagaStan93]

Yeah, if it was The Fame Monster I would agree.

Exaclty this.

Even though I find most of Arcade Fire's stuff to be at an almost sleep-inducing level of boring, they're definitely very, very talented.

they're human silly. of course they're swayed by sympathy. don't try to turn this around for your benefit little turd. the Grammys adore underdogs, and that's what Taylor was, an underdog. it happens like every other year.

Their song Abraham's Daughter in the Hunger Games soundtrack is really good but yeah, that's really one of the few songs I listen to by them.

Belive me that no, I don't care about Grammys is better to have a bigger worldwide impact career than been practically a no one.

Norah is not even 1% of famous of what Avril is, Grammys is a **** they practically always give the awards to the same type of artists (never the big ones)

her album can win grammys and sell tons but she still a flop (and her album too) I haven't even hear a song of her

Explain to me how a Diamond/5-Grammy-winning album in the United States is irrelevant. ZERO impact?

The delusion

because she's not famous.
it's not only about album sales and maybe she can be 'famous' in the US but the rest of the world don't even know her. I've never even heard a song of her.
that's irrelevant and ZERO impact.

Wait, so you don't think Taylor deserved it?

And you literally came up with this argument

when it comes down to deciding who wins, they get professionals in the fields of producing, singing, songwriting, like professionals in every aspect of the world of music. they judge the quality of the albums and songs from the nominations, which is based solely on sales and popularity (artist wise).

to prove your point? You literally did that?

And yes, Adele and Norah Jones were such underdogs. Your entire argument is just FLAWLESS.

I don't think BWATGK is a fantastic record, but let's be honest, the category was a TRAGEDY that year. From the five, I think it was the best, but level was low to begin with.

Indeed. The Suburbs is impeccable, almost on the same level of Funeral.

[RobynYoBank]

Either 21 or Herbie. 21's competition was weak, though, aside from Born This Way.

Fearless was much better than any of the albums it competed against. And I don't like DMB.

I think the same. All nominated albums in 2011 (except Teenage Dream) >>>>>>

DELUSION at ITS WORST

[Katy V.!]

lol at people thinking that "The Fame" is better than "Fearless"

Amy deserved to win, but I haven't hear some of those albums. I can't vote.

[Cap10Planet]

I don't really take too many ATRL's opinions about quality or award shows too seriously, tbh.

Fearless isn't bad, but that over Beyonce and Lady Gaga?

Fearless is far better than both The Fame and IASF. Both when it comes to writing and production. It's one of the greatest country albums of it's decade. The Kanye excuse is so tired. It's a rock solid album and easily measures up to the rest of the albums in this list.
