Oi, 21 is a masterpiece. I don't care what ya'll hating asses say, it's a perfect album.

She deserved to win that award, and all the black artists said the same thing.

I've got a feeling that David Bowie is going to win.

It's the only relevant music award that she has never won. And it's long overdue.

She has not win Record of the Year either, and I still don't understand why she submits Halo for 2010's Grammys, SL could win it effortlessly.

21 deserved everything it wins.
And to be honest, 1989 is AOTY material, it has impact. sales. #1 singles and album, also with longevity.
AND 1989 is the only album which ruling WW from mid-2014 to early-2016.
But I don't mean I agree it's winning, Kendrick / Alabama Shakes their loosing is a shame.

[giRLbye.]

i think i would be more pissed if she was not recognized at all

i do want to see her get a nom...even if she doesnt win

[6_INCH_HEELS]

Can we stop talking about the Grammys. At least until after the summer is over.

She's not winning AOTY. Let's strut on.

[QueenBeyoncé]

We know the Grammys don't like Blacks for AOTY. Moving on

Black artists have been making the best & most critically acclaimed music this decade, but have lost to their white peers.

I think after Taylor's win & the #OscarsSoWhite controversy - people are starting to understand the frustration. With "Lemonade," the Grammy's have a chance to redeem themselves. Will they? We will see next year.

This post is so important

1989 deserved AOTY, it was the best album nominated

This is 100% true but it doesn't mean that she's gonna win. Redeem themselves ? Lol, as if they cared. They've been ******** on urban artists for years now and I don't see them suddenly changing their ways. We should just let it go

AOTY is way more than just acclaim so y'all better stop.

[6_INCH_HEELS]

How long does it normally take for all the reviews to get in? A week or two?

A week... but most reviews come between the first 3 days of release. I don't know why they are being this late with B.

True. But, it is telling that a black artist has not won AOTY at all this decade when they are consistently putting out the best albums.

You can't ignore the pattern here.

I am expecting an excellent score from Fact Mag. They did a write-up on it:

"If Beyoncé’s 2013 self-titled album was the proof-of-concept for the “surprise visual album”, then Lemonade is its apex."

http://www.factmag.com/2016/04/27/le...-visual-album/


They gave ST a 90, let's see what they'll give Lemonade when they do their actual review.

[JustActinUP]

Yes AOTY goes beyond critical acclaim. However, BEYONCE had that too, along with it's chart success and impact. She had all those factors going for her, and yet the Grammys failed her.
