What the GRAMMYs Did to Bad Bunny in 2023.
During CBS's live broadcast of the 2023 GRAMMYs, the closed captions neither translated nor transcribed Bad Bunny's performance or his acceptance speech. Instead, they only displayed the labels: "SINGING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE" and "SPEAKING IN A NON-ENGLISH LANGUAGE."
Countries like Singapore is not even eligible for your fuckass category because they speak english, so who is grammy to decide what is Asian enough and what is not ???
BTS said it in Black Swan. They were never afraid of losing fame or popularity. What they feared was losing their love passion for music. And that’s what has always set them apart. They have stayed sincere to their art and that’s what made BTS who they are
After Beyonce became the first black person to win best country album the grammys split the genre between traditional country and contemporary country to make it harder for another black artist to win again in the traditional category
adele is not american yet she beat beyonce in 2017. why didn’t they make a british grammy for her ? why did they make a traditional country category when beyonce won? “asian” is even not a genre and it’s not just limited to kpop. segregating music by ethnicity is fucking WEIRD
Multiple major news outlets including Forbes, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, BBC and The Independent have reached out to the Recording Academy for comment following BTS' decision not to submit their music for this year's GRAMMYs.
— The Recording Academy remains completely silent with no response so far.
and this is why bad bunny winning AOTY as a man with a full length Spanish album was monumental.
Shakira has had such important projects but they reduced her albums to only Spanish categories because she’s a latina and a woman.
Good for BTS. Fight your fight hun.💙
poco ironicamente credo che il tour europeo gli abbia dato quell’ultimo boost di confidence che gli ha aperto gli occhi su QUANTO è grande il loro impatto anche su persone che non parlano la loro lingua e dopo averci sentito cantare arirang word for word hanno detto fuck them
btw, los grammys latinos empezaron justo después de que carlos santana un artista mexicano arrasó con todos premios uniéndose al récord de michael jackson con thriller
los grammys inventado una categoría kpop y bts diciendo que no postularan porq la música no debe ser categorizada por idioma o religión.
donde firmo para ser army? porq que manera de poner la pichula en la mesa.
NME supported BTS. 🔥
"Pop music is pop music, regardless of geographical location, the racial or ethnic identity of those making it, the language it’s sung in, or any other factor you might choose to segregate people by."
