Now winning... That's a different story. That shows who's taken seriously and who's not. |
Grammy's are not a respectable honor for the 50th time. 
Skrillex beat Robyn for two categories, like seriously, and that's just one of the many screw ups the grammy's has done. NOT RESPECTABLE OKAY!?
Edit: TBH, no music awards now are respectable. I mean, yes it's nice if your fave wins but I get over it. If, lets say, Robyn would've one I would've laughed and congratulated her and never talked about it again. I don't see how awards show how respectable an artist is sorry. To me an artist respect comes from their interviews, music, dedication. They're both respectable artist let it be guys.

Seriously, I'm not even here to go hard on Katy, but do you really think she's taken seriously enough to be considered one of the top 5 "greatest artists" right now by anyone outside of EW (if this list is even ranked, which I'm not sure it is). The internet is an open place, we all have access to metacritic.  |
Metacritic isn't the only thing that determines "respect". Plus, those reviews were back in Aug 2010. She has since been taken more seriously. Firework, POM, the CTD, and her role in Raising Hope had great reviews. ET had decent reviews. She got loads of nominations on award shows, and a special award at the AMAs.

Skrillex kind of helped usher in a new genre of music and he's arguably quite talented. The only category that is kind of a joke is Best New Artist. We can't really say they don't matter because our faves don't win. Because, I mean, if they didn't matter, they'd be given to random artists all of the time.

Hun, stop while you're ahead. Katy is loved by some, but not taken seriously by most. People love her catchy music, but most people don't think "talented artist" when they think of her. You can't point out a couple of random things and say that's what makes someone respected.

I don't get why Carrie doesn't deserve to be #4? 
She's the biggest act in country music right now along with Taylor, Is constantly praised for her vocal ability, pretty much a house hold name in America.. as well a multi platinum album seller with numerous rewards? If that isn't a successful singer what is?

Jokes apart, Kelly is very low on the list. I get why Bey is low, she hasn't been doing much lately if I remember well.

Skrillex did not help usher in a new genre of music. His music genre has been around forever. He is hardly as talented as some of his fellow producers let alone Robyn. I'm not even trying to attack anyone I am just saying that the fact Little Monster ALWAYS bring up the grammy's gets on my nerve till no end.
Edit: I know the second one wasn't directed at me but I agree tbh, and that's why I wanna encourage people to say she is talented cause Katy really is. Is her music something special, not really, but she's still talented. Guitar, Piano, Great (I went there) vocalist. You could never reach her
