never ever?

[XTIE @XTIEmusic]

I believe music creators and fans are the backbone of the industry. If I don't stand for what's right now as a small artist, I know I wouldn't do it later on either, even if I'm lucky enough to get bigger or more influencial one day. You either care from day 1, or you never will.

[NPOMV | Zine @npomvtt]

A artista chinesa independente XTIE, votante do Grammy, saiu em defesa do pronunciamento do BTS sobre a categoria "Pop Asiático" em seu TikTok.

"Só pra dar uma perspectiva sobre a controvérsia do Grammy: Eu sou uma artista de Hong Kong. Eu usei melodias do folk cantonês nessa música*. Eu usei instrumentos chineses. Eu a escrevi e produzi. Mas ela não está elegível a 'Pop Asiático' porque eu a cantei em inglês.

(...) Eu sou membro votante da Academia desde 2024, e fiquei chocada de ver que essa categoria foi aprovada sem antes ter tido uma conversa com a comunidade artística asiática fora dos Estados Unidos."

*A música é Star Potential, linkada nos comentários.

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.

[BAD BUNNY DAILY UPDATES @keiveiec]

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."

[Rize⁷ @rize07addict]

The Grammys has awarded multiple British Artists throughout the years in Major Categories like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Sting, Eric Clapton, Adele, George Harrison, Mark Ronson, Radiohead, Phil Collins, Coldplay, Elton John, Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, Harry Styles etc and yet never felt the need to create any "European Pop/British Pop" Category to further "celebrate" these Acts yet,, the moment an Asian Artist, for the first time in history, threatens to have the potential to beat everyone in Major Categories, suddenly they introduce a "Asian Pop" Category to "celebrate" Asian Music while adding the criteria "making use of Asian language only" coz obviously english apparently only belongs to the west,,

[Kalorie @kewchiy]

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.💙

@dummy1234bear the point is they dont have categories based on shit like ‘asians’ cause asia has 999 languages. Instead they just made a foreign film category and every country can submit one. Its still not very inclusive but it is also not ignorant, like ‘asian pop’ which is an imaginary genre

[ak ⁷ | VOTE BTS on VMAs @Bangtan_Caramel]

Imagine if the Oscars had a ‘Best Asian Actor’ award

comparing "asian pop" with jazz or country categories when those are music GENRES and the other one is a geographical label i knew americans weren't the brightest but it will always surprise me

[aitibaN⁷⁼¹ LAMRON🎞🪭㉧㉣㉣ 내년봄!¹³ᵀˢ|아포방포 (SLOW) @nabitia_]

Waiting on the Grammys to create a Best European pop category with lyrics with a meaningful use of a European language excluding English🤡.....

[Terra ✰⋆ @54hrtz]

if any of these artists had been promoted and recognized as Asian rather than American artists, do you think they would have received the same recognition and awards?

and if Asians are already performing so well in the major categories, why create a sub category for them?

[🦢 @fatherhyungs]

every single person mentioned here is a biracial who sings in english and was born in america. none of their songs would be eligible for that “asian pop” category the grammys themselves don’t consider them “asian enough” LMAO please stop humiliating yourself over this bts hatred

[mon⁷ @knjgIoss]

for bts not to submit one of their biggest albums to the grammys this year is huge and i respect them for that. so much was poured into arirang and its message and i feel like it wouldn’t sit right with bts at all especially with the new category the grammys put out
