It's worth noting that Ed Sheeran was COMPLETELY SNUBBED ACROSS THE BOARD

 

[Alla]

Christine McVie & Xtina are also up for some random Grammys

 

[Alla]

God, Beyoncé could fart and she would be up for Record of the year.

 

[funky]

The interesting irony about ABBA is that this year the organisation has massively expanded and diversified their voter base with an emphasis on younger people, so ABBA's chances of actually winning anything are practically nil. They probably would have had a great chance of a storybook win in any other year.

I mean it’s also not a great album.

 

[Phoenix]

Was Unholy not eligible?

 

[Pipo]

Adele receiving a nomination for the Easy On Me video (or ANY of her videos) is kind of a joke.

 

[funky]

I mean it’s also not a great album.

Haven't even listened to it

 

[COB]

Was Unholy not eligible?

That'll be up for Best Egyptian Song at the World Music Awards

 

[RJN]

How convenient of drake to boycott when he released an album nobody liked anyway

 

[Pipo]

Was Unholy not eligible?

Best pop duo/group performance

• ABBA - Don't Shut Me Down
• Camila Cabello & Ed Sheeran - Bam Bam
• Coldplay and BTS - My Universe
• Post Malone and Doja Cat - I Like You (A Happier Song)
• Sam Smith and Kim Petras - Unholy

Is this also the first time a non-binary artist along with a trans woman being nominated for a GRAMMY?

 

[lolly]

As I said in the other thread, I don't understand why when I Still Have Faith In You and Don't Shut Me Down were both released on the same day (in the eligibility period for last year), one got nominated last year, and the other one this year.

Oh thank god, should have gotten song of the year as well tbh

 

[funky]

Isn't Demi Lovato non binary?

The label will have found some loophole. Grammy has a very complex windowing system.

 

[Pipo]

Isn't Demi Lovato non binary?

I think back when she was nominated she still identified as a SHE? (EDIT: OH I see she's nominated again this year too)
The trans woman nomination must be a first!

 

[lolly]

Like @Devil said in the other thread, it's probably something to do with it when it was sent to radio. Or the fact that the album it was included on wasn't released until the next year.

 

[COB]

The SOPHIE album was nominated for Best Dance/Electronic Album at the 2019 Grammys, so she might have been the first trans woman to be nominated?

 

[BoysForSeles]

I completely missed that Mary J had released that album.

 

[funky]

I completely missed that Mary J had released that album.

It flopped and the Morning Gorgeous song was actually on heavy rotation across R&B platforms. Someone still has love for her. I thought the album was crap to be honest.

 

[dmlaw]

Is this also the first time a non-binary artist along with a trans woman being nominated for a GRAMMY?

Even if it’s not, I’m sure Sam Smith will claim that it is.

 

[funky]

The Elton/Dua duet was also submitted, and snubbed, as it goes..... was apparently expected to walk the pop duo category and didn't even get nominated.

 

[Alla]

I completely missed that Mary J had released that album.

Didn't we all?

 

[Phoenix]

Didn't we all?

I didn’t.

I mean it’s also not a great album.

Poor Elton/Brit

Was hoping Lana would get a nom. They haven't given her any love since Norman. I think Blue Banisters is up there with that album in overall reviews on Metacritic.

 

[Pipo]

Did The Weeknd intentionally skip this year?

 

[funky]

Did The Weeknd intentionally skip this year?

He absconded too.

 

[Pipo]

Well, after last year's shambles he did the right thing.

 

[Jark]

Mary scamming so many noms (her most since The Breakthrough!) is kind of a scream. good for her though.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

We did it fellow MYCELIA
