Father Misty has a Grammy... It's a proud moment in White History! Right alongside the 2004 US Election and the invention of flannel.

Year in and year out I find it ridiculous they donβt present more awards on air. I think this show is in need for a change of leadership. I don't understand. I mean, this doesn't need to be the Golden Globes with 3 straight hours of non stop awards, but the fact that they only give out 8 or 9 during 3 hours for an AWARDS SHOW is ludicrous.

No he doesn't. His album does though. He had a hand in the art direction, he's listed by his name i.e. Josh Tillman Oh, lmoa. My face is red

I wouldn't even be mad, it's too risky to do it live (didn't it take her 12 tries in the studio - allegedly - or something?) I don't believe she (nor any human voice) did it live in the studio. Not that many other singers couldn't do it, just you can literally here a severely melodyned lower note get pitch bent up a scale till it plays out on that top note. But yes I'm all for her scootching in that studio created thing into the rest of her life vocal Emancipation Of Mimi style. That seems pretty cynical. They made a big deal in one of the articles about how it took her numerous upon numerous tries to do it. I'm sure there was a bit of studio trickery to make it sound as flawless as it does, but I have no doubt she eventually got there and did it. But I agree that it's too risky to try in a performance.

Record Album Song New Artist Best Pop Solo Performance Best Rap/Sung Performance Best Rap Album Best Country Album Best Comedy Album Why are they doing Comedy album? lol Same thing happened 8yrs ago when Colbert won Wait... they are doing TWO Rap awards on air? But zero Rock? Zero R&B? And they're doing Comedy? What kind of absolute bull shit is this? Just confirms to me more and more that now they are overcompensating for #OscarsSoWhite and the Adele/Beck controversies.

Yay for Shakira winning Latin Pop Album!
It's far from her best work overall, but I can't help but root for her! =D

When rock becomes relevant again (I hope it can), it'll hopefully be televised.

I was hoping at least one of the R&B awards would make it to the telecast this year.

So you've been advocating for Latin, Folk, Gospel, Jazz, Classical and technical categories like Packaging and Design for a while now too eh?

Donβt want to read too much into Kendrick winning Video, but Bey won Video last year and didnβt fare to well with the rest of her noms (most of which Kendrick mirrors, only in his respective genre).

Best Song For Visual Media went to "How Far I'll Go" instead of "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" :(
Let's hope "Better Man" will win Best Country Song.

I'd make a big deal about how hard and laborious in the studio it was too if I 1) Didn't do in the first place 2) Can't come close to recreating it live. Not only is the vocal on Praying and stitched together and tuned as anything I've heard since the Glee days, I've sat in enough sessions that the 'note' in question is almost entirely machine made. Like I said before you can hear a note start to be hit, then you can literally hear the pitch bending and stretching out that top 'note' live. It sounds synthetic/robotic...certainly not organic, nor something that took anybody but a producer multiple attempts to achieve.

Cool to see my college jazz trombone professor win a GRAMMY! He plays lead in the Christian McBride Big Band and was standing onstage next to Christian's wife.
