"they can always apply for other categories"
they know. they were about to. all the producers were ready. until that category appeared & their values with you, @RecordingAcad didn’t align anymore. hence, they stepped away, respectfully. ask your staff to stop crashing out.
Someone said that the Latin categories at the Grammys have a requirement that they must have 51% Spanish.
Which means that Brazilian artists (also Latin) who sing mainly in Portuguese do not qualify.
The Pentagon has failed their yearly audit EIGHT times in a row. They are unable to explain where a TRILLION dollars goes. Not a single departmenent in the DOD has ever passed an audit. You are being robbed, and the federal government is laundering your money back to themselves.
the latin category says that the song can only win if they have over 50% of spanish lyrics completely ignoring the biggest country in latin America is Brazil where we speak Portuguese lmao
No but what I'm still flabbergasted is how casually he said “Asian Pop genre” like it's actually a genre of music. My dude turned an entire continent's 100+ genres of music into Asian Pop. Now all the Asian musicians are Asian pop. And he's the CEO too 😭😭😭
Admittedly refreshing to hear someone respond to tired anti-immigrant talking points by saying “Isn’t your president a pedophile” you can genuinely see the Fox host realize he’s made a terrible mistake in real time
Notice BTS didn't insult them. They basically said they're done because of the difference in value and that's that. Meanwhile members of the RA are crashing out, insulting them and their work, and calling critics and the public names on social media.
the grammy community defending themselves with "they can always apply for other categories" tells you EVERYTHING
bts has always applied for 3-4 categories (main ones) and they always gave them a nom in group/duo only to give the award to a COLLAB
“People who got the Covid vaccine are quiet now”
Yeah because we realized that arguing with people who don’t understand science is a waste of time & energy lol. The vaccine & other safety measures worked. What would WE be arguing about?
As a Singaporean Chinese, if I write and produce a pop song in Singapore incorporating Malay traditional melodies and Indian traditional instruments but write English lyrics, I’m just not Asian enough for the Grammys Asian Pop category
Why tf is everyone acting like BTS did this for THEMSELVES because they didnt want to win a token award?
They clearly did it for other, smaller Asian artists.
BTS are big enough to be considered in non-regional/main categories.
It's other Asians who'll get stuck in the box.
all bts said was that they don’t want to submit their work to the grammys this year and at least 4 members of the grammys have gone on coke rants and crashing out about it but kpop fans swear the grammys dgaf about bts
