I'm kind of surprised no one made a topic for this yet. I usually don't watch the Grammy's, but this year was kind of cool (Beyonce, A Tribe Called Quest, Gaga/ Metallica, in-spite of mic failure). What did you guys like about the Grammy's? I usually DVR it to skip the BS, but I didn't skip too much this time.
If you are an Adele fan, you may be mildly offended, but I do like her. So... She swept it. I kind of saw this coming, but damn. I think her first 2 albums are good, and she has a hell of a voice. But I was kind of annoyed that she won song, and album of the year for Hello/ 25. I mean.. I get it, anthems are her thing, but this one is not that great. Lionel Richie already wrote a song called "Hello". The lyrics are generic, and boring, and there is little in the way of layering or textures for the song. Anyway, good for her, she is decently talented, but (as he goes full Kanye) Beyonce had the better album. Not that this effects the votes, as this is all predetermined before the event, but still, her performance had me thinking she was gonna win Album of the year. That shit was awesome. I mean, it doesn't really matter, but I was kind of annoyed by something else. Adele got to restart her George Michael tribute. Like, she just stops, and apologized profusely before restarting. So.. what happens when James Hetfield's mic stops during their song with Gaga? Well, the show must go on I guess cause they didn't get any restarts (granted.. that's technically more professional, I just really wanted to hear it, as I love Metallica, and Lady Gaga..)
I didn't care about chance the rapper, or any of those little white, country pop-tarts that got on stage (Except the Urban/ Underwood duet, she's cute af). Then there was one other country act I really liked. They sounded like a more complex Johny Cash, but I can't remember.
This is my opinion. I'm not an expert, or even anyone you should ever listen to, so yeah, what did you think?
