2023 GRAMMYs RECAP: BEYONCÉ REIGNS WHILE THEY SNUBBED BJORK -AGAIN-

Image
 The 65th Grammy ceremony took place yesterday (Staples Center, L.A.). The Awards started been given before the 'big' ceremony, the one were the stars go, seat and perform and where the ' main' categories are given (The Big Four and the pop ones). This lead , as it happens every year in the Latin Grammys, to giving the awards while the celebrities are on their way to the Grammys or, like it has happened to Bebe Rexha, while they are arriving to the red carpet. In consequence,  most of the Grammys that Beyoncé took home yesterday were given in this other ceremony ( Best R&B Song for 'Cuff It', Best Traditional R&B Performance for 'Plastic Off The Sofa' and Best Dance Recording for Break My Soul). Even  the singer posted a photo with the awards before the main ceremony had place. That's why they should unify most awards in one ceremony, at least, some of the genres categories (like EDM, hip-hop, rock, latin or country), because these genre

The Grammys ceremony was celebrated yesterday. Let's comment the winners list! The first awards given were for the technical ones and for the minor genres. The first important award was Music video of the year , given to Beyoncé, WizKid and Blue Ivy's Brown Skin Girl. It was the first of the night for the Beyoncé and the first one for WizKid and Blue Ivy, included as writer of the song. Her participation is 'singing/talking' the chorus twice. She is the second youngest winner. Beyoncé won 4 Grammys yesterday. With a total of 28 Grammys, she is crowned the vocalist with more grammys in history. It's funny how the Academy keeps on blessing her so hard when she and Jay-z have disregarded and mocked the awards. The same happens with Kanye, who won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Album . If Kanye tries, he can make fun of the Grammys again and win one  next year. For years, winning a grammy was the peak for an artist, who had worked so hard to get there and th

ARE STEREOTYPES IN MUSIC OVER?

When I say 'stereotypes' I am referring to the association of an artist to a specific genre or style :An artist is consider pop and remains pop til the end of his/her career. The industry and the public classify an artist and make you expect he or she is going to always drop the same type of music. In the early 2000s there was an explosion of new artists and some of them were what we later  used to consider pop queens like Beyoncé, Rihanna and Lady Gaga. Despite Beyonce started in Destiny chid,(R&B) during her debut she mixed both R&B and pop ( 'Irrepleazable ' and 'Crazy In Love' ) . S he went totally pop with her 2008 album 'I'm Sasha fierce' . With songs like ' Halo ', ' If I Were A Boy' and ' Single Ladies' she became played in every pop radio station. Her pop side was confirmed with her 2011 album '4' and her self titled album (songs like ' Pretty Hurts ' or 'Love On Top '). But in her 20

 2021 Grammy nominations have been announced. Beyoncé is the most nominated artist this year for the unnoticed Black Parade and for her film for The Lion King:The Gift.  There are big snubs like The Weeknd, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Summer Walker and more. Let's get into it ! 1. Grammys do not know how to classify songs with trapbeats sang by pop singers . It happened with Ariana Grande 's  7 rings, nominated last year for Best Pop Solo Performance and it is  the same with Yummy and Changes. Do you remember the tweets talking bout 'R&Bieber' and that it was like a Chris Brown song? Well, for the Academy is totally pop. Grammys just do not know how to classify the plenty of songs that top the charts and that have mix trap with pop or that are simply trap. I guess The Academy is trying to nominate the new direction of pop music, but forgetting, for example, 80s influenced tracks, as The Weeknd synths tracks ' Blinding Lights'.  2. The Weeknd snub : If there
