Javier Paniagua, composer, producer & Grammy voting member, supports BTS's decision to skip the 2027 Grammys.
He said "BTS is the most relevant pop group and artist in the world today, and shouldn't be placed in a separate category based on their origin and language."
“it’s gonna be harder for smaller asian artists because of bts” so you believe the academy is going to punish all asian artists bc BTS refused to play along. and that’s the institution you wish to support and want to keep as the pinnacle of music recognition? ok LMAO
remember when taehyung appeared on first take, a popular japanese show where artists sing live in one take. there is no edits and retakes and there were accusations of voice modulation cause he sounded just like the studio version 😭
50 countries in Asia, with 4.86 billion people, making up about 59% of the world population. Out of whom only 6-7 people have gotten Grammy. You can't possibly think that entirety of 4.8 billion population only has 10-15 talented musicians.
