The Grammys are stupid.

Still seems strange to me to have a “Record of the year” and a “Song of the year”.

Also, hasn’t Khruangbin been around for close to a decade?

This has always bothered be so I finally decided to look it up. Seems like there is a VERRRRRRRYYYYYYYYYYYYY low bar to qualify as a "new" artist at the grammy's.

To be eligible in the category of Best New Artist, the artist, duo, or group:

• Must have released a minimum of five singles/tracks or one album (until 2020 there was a maximum of 30 singles/tracks or three albums, but this maximum limit was removed for the 2021 awards season)
• May not have entered into this category more than three times, including as a performing member of an established group.
• Must have achieved a breakthrough into the public consciousness and impacted the musical landscape during the eligibility period.

So, ultimately,

The Grammys are stupid.

So, ultimately,

Thanks for the info. I anticipated that it would be based on more objective criteria than that to be honest.

That being said I do enjoy watching the Grammys if only for the musical performances, which are often very impressive. It is certainly the most entertaining of all the big award shows in my opinion.

Are these the Grammy nominations or the guest list for Diddy's parties?

They're the same thing. Remember when Will Smith got a standing ovation 5 minutes after hitting Chris Rock?

I have to say I’m quite shocked that André 3000’s album was nominated

Sabrina Carpenter has released 6 albums. Idk if that's a new artist.

 

[the valiant effort]

Such a pile of inorganic “art” it makes me yearn for e. coli from a head of “organic” lettuce.
