bad bunny ganha grammy, cria categoria "melhor música latina"
bts comeback, grammy cria uma categoria pra artista asiático
só nao vê quem nao quer, ta escancarado que o grammy é uma premiação xenofobica e racista
I don't think people fully understand the magnitude of this decision.
Some of the music industry's most respected producers, writers, engineers, and creatives worked on ARIRANG. A project built to the highest artistic standard. One producer even spoke publicly about hoping the album would receive Grammy recognition.
Then the Recording Academy introduced a category specifically for Asian pop.
And BTS chose not to submit.
Think about that. The biggest musical project of the year. One of the strongest commercial and artistic contenders. A project that could have competed across multiple major categories. It simply won't be in the race because the artists chose principle over prestige.
Moves like this don't happen often. When artists at BTS' level willingly walk away from the biggest stage in music, the conversation shifts because of what they refused to endorse.
paving the way doesnt always mean the first to win an award, it means the one who makes impact where it matters and allows for those who follow in their footsteps to be seen and treated fairly too. that is what bts are doing, and that takes courage
it’s a win for us. any group that does submit for a category that was created to segregate Asian artists will go down in history as spineless and desperate. BTS have integrity, self-respect, and strength in genuine support— the most admirable award there is.
grammys have always avoided awarding non-american artists.
they constantly introduce new asian, african and latin categories just to leave the biggest awards for their national artists.
when you value music based on where the singer is from, you’re not awarding talent anymore.
y para su cochino conocimiento, cualquiera que gane ese premio en la categoría asiática, no será por que su esfuerzo valió la pena, es una, pq los chicos no van a participar y dos, pq la industria JAMÁS los verá como iguales, siempre van a ser aliens en un mundo lleno de gringos
and last thing im gonna say is, ARMYs are the only fandom who immediately recognized that new asian category for what it is: blatant racism, while others were celebrating a potential win for their faves. the fact that BTS, an asian group, thinks the same as us says a lot. 🙏🏽
ŞİRKETTEN RESMİ AÇIKLAMA GELMİŞ:
“hem BTS hem de HYBE, BTS'in ana ödülü kazanma şansının en yüksek olduğu dönemde Grammy'nin değerlendirme sisteminde yapılan bu değişikliği kabullenmekte zorlandıklarını dile getirdi.
BTS bu açıklamanın son anına kadar törene katılıp katılmamayı çok düşündü ama müzik ve k-pop sektörünün geleceği için temkinli hareket edilmesi gerektiğine inanarak bu kararı aldılar.”
i dont think y’all realize how fucking cool it is to just openly announce you are not submitting for the grammys because of their mistreatment. it takes a lot to have that kind of courage. they said FUCK that racist organization. BTS are truly the most inspiring artists ever
BTS announces they will not submit their music for the 2027 GRAMMY awards, following the Recording Academy’s addition of an Asian-focused category:
“I hope music itself can be heard and loved rather than being distinguished by region or language.”
