This is not a Best Songwriter Award.

What is exactly better about "actual musical content and quality" of Beck's album? Really. I need a valid explanation. Screaming that it is better is not enlightening anyone.

No one is screaming though
Beck's album is better in the sense that it does bot capitalise on faux activism as self-titled did, it's simplu the man and his music.
I guess the Grammys were able to see past Bey's charade of feminism and all that. I mean did you expect the album with a song that puts down people like Bow Down would win?

Are you really bringing up innovation? Do you realise the self-tilted is the most innovative release of this decade so far?

What does that have to do with the actual quality of the album though?

Personally I didn't care for any of the albums but we all know that the Grammys are messy. Y'all need to move on and stop letting a bunch of lazy white men ruin your year.

[konaa]

Some of y'all pretending to be Beck stans just so you can be anti-Bey.

So transparent/pathetic.

[fabbriche]

Beyonce lost to Pharrell in her genre category. That was already a hint she was not getting AOTY.

[NX127]

He had the more innovative album and is the more talented musician.

[Azealia Banks]

He had the better album without the gimmicks

[Bríseis]

Because the Grammy committee liked his album more. And no seething and petty threads by blinded stans can change that.

Grammys are only reflecting the subjective opinions of a bunch of people who vote there. Nothing serious. The fact that Hive are fumming over the decision of the same committee which gave Bey her 20 awards they always like to use to shade other artists is just hillariously embarrassing.

Beck is incredibly talented artist who created many amazing albums, and unlike Beyonce, he didnt need a songwriting camp to do it. He is amazing, and so is his new album

[QueenBeé]

Have y'all even heard the Beck album once? I bet not.

[Zoraluv]

I'm LIVING rn. ya'll gotta chill with this whole #whoisbeck. A musician who plays multiple instruments, composed own album and own lyrics and came out of nowhere in 2008. I'm loving these meltdowns I love both beyonce and beck, hell I have more beyonce than beck on my lastfm but to sit up here with 'its cuz hes white and shes not' when the girl got 20 grammys

[downbywednesday]

Y'all need to stop with the whole "He wrote it himself!!" bs. If I created an album as universally accepted as bad as, say, K-Fed's Play With Fire, does it suddenly have more merit than Dark Side of the Moon, Back in Black, etc. just because I did it all by myself?

Wrong examples hun when Back to Black was written mostly by Amy alone and PF is a band, yet The Dark Side Of The Moon was an era designed by Roger. Whatever. Good for Beck that he has the huge talent to make brilliant music on his own

Meanwhile Beyonce has 20 Grammys and counting. Your logic makes much sense

How was it the better album?

Morning Phase is a solid folk album. It makes for some nice, easy listening. However, it didn't push boundaries in its genre in any radical ways,.

I agree with this TBH. The Grammy's will always go with solid and safe.

That being said, Morning Phase was the only other album in the category that deserved it, so I'm glad it was him over Sam and Ed.

The nominees should have been

BEYONCE
Morning Phase
St. Vincent
LP1
Lost In The Dream

BTW, it's SO transparent how ATRL is bandwagoning Morning Phase now when only a few were checking for it prior to the nominees.

That's why beyonce has more grammys than almost every other female? of course the first thing you go to is racism. pathetic.

[Penny.]

becos it scored an 81 on metacritic, ranked high on several year end lists, was completely written & composed by the artist himself, & was an amazing album

now get over it

[tittieslap]

It shouldn't matter to a Beyonce fan that she lost a Grammy. Who cares? She's got 19-20 others. It's literally outrageous to believe that the entire industry, world, and universe should be kissing her ass cheeks 24/7. Get over it.

Please point out all the innovations in BEYONCE. You can't just say anything and it will make it true you know.

Songs like Single Ladies and Countdown and Crazy in Love are Grammy's-worthy. Nothing on BEYONCE is. It is still a very enjoyable album, but it's not something even Beyonce fans will latch on to as time goes by.

You need to get out of the Beyhive to realize that the public has generally forgotten about Drunk in Love and does not even recognize Partition. Those songs may be popular if you belong to a certain demographic, but outside of that they have no impact. Most people know Dark Horse, Fancy, Stay With Me, etc. They don't know BEYONCE.
