>Blackstar not nominated album of the year
>only nominated for best alternative album
>Justin Bieber's Purpose is nominated for best album of the year
This is the single worst crime the Grammy's have ever committed. It's even worse than Jethro Tull winning best metal album. Discuss.

The fact that you still care about the Grammy's shows that you're still a pleb.
Music isn't about fucking awards. David Bowie is dead, he doesn't care if he gets some award. His music is important to people, and that's what really matters.
>>69554384
not that i appreciate bieber or these awards, but you should kill yourself
>>69554384
>you want it darker
enough already. he doesn't need more recognition.

Grammys is just a TV show dude.
No need to take it seriously.
If a TV show could choose to have an old dead guy, or the biggest pop star in the world as their celebrity cameo, whose fanbase will add to their viewership/ratings/ad money, which one would they choose?

>taking the Grammy's seriously

The Oscars don't nominate Transformers or Marvel films for best picture.They nominate plenty of films that don't do well at the box office but have some level of artistic value.
Why should music be an inferior art form to films? Why doesn't music deserve an awards show with the same level of prestige as the award shows for film?

Oscars are nominated by those from the Academy
Grammies are nominated by how they sold and (((them)))

The Oscars are just as much of a sham as the Grammys and generally nominate just as surface level shit for movie of the year. I don't know what Oscars you're watching.
Purpose was definitely good tho. The album showed a side of him that was thoughtful, lovelorn, and practiced. It's well done pop, not just earworm candy pop, but adult songs that covered topics important to the generation yet not so serious that it felt like a sermon ( I'm looking at you, Kendrick). All the edgy faggots in YouTube comments who had only heard "baby" realized that a mature Beiber actually could make an excellent pop record. Definitely more relevant than blackstar, which is a good composition, but only became well known due to the death of bowie.
I say the better album won.

Just another example of the commercialism of today's music industry. It's not about the music anymore, it's about money, popularity, etc.

>muh "authenticity"
>>69556602
so you mean bowie wasn't a popstar?
>>69556598
no man what's wrong with you for mistaking what amounts to a pretentious makeup about an obvious "message" for something "artistically" valuable in film, whatever that actually means
>>69556642
no you missed anon's point completely in a race to be a contrarian "patrician."
They need this
It's how they validate their fast food music
>>69556598
As long as the Oscars rely on the academy voting, it's a sham
>>69556618
no he was, but saying that all pop-stars are equal is obviously just b8ing for (You)'s.
lets see one album was played in every teenage/young adults bedroom and party for weeks on
one album didn't
