Do these awards really matter to
you? If your favorite song doesn’t win a best song category will you stop
listening to it? I doubt it. People like what they like no matter what the
critics say. Kanye and Drake are making a big statement because they have 8
nominations. Bieber has 4 nominations and he isn’t even black. Ok, he is making
a statement on behalf of his black unknown friends. So should we watch a show
where the recipients of the awards don’t even attend to thank anyone? Maybe I won’t
watch it after all either!
Frank Ocean’s album is more
critically acclaimed than popular. Beyonce has never won the big award of album of the
year. Beck won her out in 2015. The
person who has won the most Grammy’s ever is a bluegrass singer Allison Krauss.
You know her? She won more Grammy’s than any other female artist owning 27
trophies. She beat out Little Wayne in 2009. All award shows like the Oscars,
Grammy’s and Tony’s to me are more about the red carpet to see these iconic
people in their own element act like normal people despite their beauty and
talent. The Oscars years ago would only
have 5 films to choose from in the best picture category. Now there are 9 films
to choose from. More choices do not make it special anymore.
Drake’s next move is that he
wants a late night talk show. He should be happy with what he is already
successful at which is music. He wants to sit and talk to people and then go
home? It sounds easy but it hasn’t been for a lot of famous people who tried
and failed. Do you remember these people talk shows? Here are some failed talk
show hosts: Magic Johnson, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Karen from Will and Grace, Ryan
Seacrest, Jeff Probst, Khloe Kardashian and her mom Chris Jenner, Wanda Sykes
or even others. Just be glad that people
love your work and thank them for your awards.
