But when it comes to the Grammys, and the majority of its voters, artists like Beyonc\u00e9 won\u2019t ever win and that\u2019s fine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Because at the end of the day Beyonc\u00e9 is Beyonc\u00e9 \u2014 a superstar singer and dancer who has evolved with each album she has released. She has done the unthinkable. She has defeated the odds. She has broken the internet. She has rewritten history. She has changed the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The reason albums come out on Fridays instead of Tuesdays? Beyonc\u00e9 did that. Artists deciding to surprise drop music and not pre-announce releases? Beyonc\u00e9 again. She\u2019s one of the most impressive visual artists but was still able to launch a groundbreaking and bold album without accompanying music videos or films.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    I knew Queen Bey had no chance of winning album of the year for <em>Renaissance<\/em> \u2014 after years of covering the Grammy Awards and predicting winners, it was clear she was going to lose. The voters don\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciate the kind of art Beyonc\u00e9 presents. Instead, they are embarrassingly traditional \u2014 you\u2019ll get golden points for strumming a guitar or banging on the drums, but for the epic runs Beyonc\u00e9 sings on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M-ruSdKbQUM\">\u201cPlastic Off the Sofa\u201d<\/a>? Nothing. For the crafty lyricism on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o3WqRPM6M0A\">\u201cHeated\u201d<\/a>? Nothing.

The voters don\u2019t understand the lyrical detail. They don\u2019t understand the cadences. They miss the epic metaphors. They find the inventive beats noisy and disruptive and think the profound singing is loud and obnoxious.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    And here\u2019s the thing \u2014 they probably never will understand the music.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    It\u2019s why you\u2019ll see Bruno Mars \u2014 an extremely talented singer, songwriter, producer, guitarist and drummer \u2014 be the closest thing to a R&amp;B star win album, song and record of the year in the same year. It\u2019s why Beck, a performer, multi-instrumentalist, engineer and producer, will succeed over Beyonc\u00e9. It\u2019s why U2 will prevail over Kanye West and Mariah Carey\u2019s still-fire comeback album <em><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_ms9O5dyAHRxApqvfqWgtAGl46TmIfQDUA\">The Emancipation of Mimi<\/a><\/em>. It\u2019s why Arcade Fire will beat out Eminem, and Robert Plant and Alison Krauss will get more votes than Lil Wayne. It\u2019s why Bad Bunny could literally dominate the entire world and be reduced to three Grammy nominations, only to win a single award in a Latin music category.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    The Grammys have made some changes to its voting body \u2014 even requiring older voters to show they have recent credits in music to keep their membership. They\u2019ve added 2,000 new members last year but that doesn\u2019t mean a thing when 11,000 people have a say. Changes were made, but a major overhaul is necessary to correct the voting culture of the awards show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Maybe that will happen. It probably won\u2019t. And we don\u2019t care \u2014 because winning a Grammy is cute, but it\u2019s not for the culture.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
