Absolutely stunned at no nominations for The Weeknd. Same with Run The Jewels as well, how you can go full on backpacker for Rap AOTY noms and not include them is beyond me.
Also, with all the justified criticism of artists of color not getting their due in AOTY, and the new diverse additions to the Grammy Committee, that is a REALLY white AOTY field which is basically a red carpet for a 3rd Taylor Swift win. I like her music as much as the next guy but for her to get 3 AOTY’s before a black artist gets one is ridiculous.

Anyways, yeah absolutely NO reason to glance over Abel, especially when that same category you nominate BLACK PUMAS.
Noah Cyrus getting nominated for BNA over Rina though..unless she's somehow not the angsty trainwreck she was in 2017, the total s**t?
Everyday Life getting a BNA nominee was so unexpected. But on the other hand, it is such a phenomenal album that's really been glanced over.
Bieber and his pop nominees. Can these committees stop pretending Bieber is good anymore? Not even his looks can save his ass this year.
Anyway, Taylor or Dua for AOTY.
Like I said, Trevor Noah needs to ROAST this committee. Like he can't just bring in the Trump jokes, this is just pathetic.

The Weeknd being snubbed is absolutely dreadful (assuming that he submitted). Rooting for Dua and Taylor.

Gutted for Abel. I’m not a huge fan, but there’s no logical explanation for his exclusion.

With how many curveballs are included in AOTY, I’m stuck on who the frontrunner may be. I’m inclined to say Swift or Dua Lipa, but I could easily see Jhene Aiko or Black Pumas taking it.
All this to say, Jacob Collier might actually win it and throw everyone for some severe cases of whiplash.

I'm sure Black Pumas are good, but like, from a somewhat game-changing year, you'd think they'd nominate AOC who were more widely acclaimed and even KNOWN at the time, as opposed to an album that came out LAST SUMMER no less.
Then again, I've said this stuff for years, the Grammys have such a limited taste in music to suit their white minds.

Noah Cyrus getting nominated for BNA over Rina though..unless she's somehow not the angsty trainwreck she was in 2017, the total s**t? Her EP The End Of Everything blew her past work out of the water. Its a solid record and really impressed me. That said, there is absolutely no excuse for the lack of Rina Sawayama. I have no idea what the criteria for BNA is, its not consistent. Kaytranada is somehow new? With Chika's nomination (fuck yes), its clear that commercial success isn't the main factor, and neither is critical success (it's not like Cyrus is a critical darling). She also had the perfect narrative - getting snubbed from the Mercury Prize for bullshit xenophobic reasons, then getting a GRAMMY across the pond. But NO. Maybe the committee heard "STFU!" and shat themselves.

Wow, these nominations are something aren't they?
Yummy??? No The Weeknd??? No The Bones in the major categories??? Noah Cyrus as best new artist?? The EXTREME Beyonce love (I guess this one's expected)??
It should be the norm that talk and movements to be more inclusive are acted upon by organizations like The Grammy's. Though, it must be done with an understanding of why people are asking for inclusion -- not just merely to meet quotas and avoid Twitter shit talk (which is honestly a lot of what I think happened here).

I'm disappointed that The Weeknd was completely snubbed. I thought BL was a shoe-in in SOTY and ROTY categories.
Really happy for Dua, Taylor and Coldplay. Fantastic week for Dua.

I like Taylor but I’m really disgusted by the fact that she will have 3 AOTY wins while black artists like Prince, Aretha, Diana, Donna, Tina, Janet, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Jay and Kanye all have 0 combined.
I would’ve preferred to see The Weeknd or Fiona win and they’re not even nominated. The fact that The Weeknd got 0 nominations while Bieber gets so many noms for his pathetic attempt at whitewashed R&B is troubling to say the least.
Beyoncé’s nominations for Black Parade scream the Grammys trying to be “woke”, that song made no noise and did not deserve those noms.
The only thing I like is Dua and Jhene getting recognised, everything else is a disaster.

If I were The Weeknd, would I take a long break just becos OR comeback (hopefully) with an even better album and not submit it a la Frank Ocean?

I totally understand. Similar to when Drake was upset about where Hotline Bling was nominated in

The Grammys gotta be racist, if Blinding Lights was sung by a white dude it would've been nominated

What in the world? The Weeknd snubs are bizarre. If he didn't land in album, whatever. But how the hell did "Blinding Lights" not get any song noms? Bieber's nominations are a joke, trash song and a trash album. Fiona Apple was snubbed. Jessie Ware (I know it was a long shot, I was hoping acclaim would take her over the hump) seriously smoked all the other pop females this year, nothing. Love Yonka, but those nominations are beyond a stretch. This looks like an easy win for Taylor to me, which is a giant meh.
I think the is the first Grammy's in a long time where I'm going in not really rooting for anyone.
*edit* except for Chloe and Halle. Snatch em girls!

Assuming that Bieber note is true... I’m sorry, but that reeks of privilege. Did the world need to know your grievances? The fact that he can actually complain about not getting nominated where he WANTED to be nominated, while being nominated for a handful of awards, is privilege in itself. Just gross.

Blinding Lights snub has to be 1 of the biggest snubs of the past 20 years surely. Can't remember the last time a song as big as this (or the artist who sings it) didn't get a single nomination.

Black Pumas album was released June 21, 2019... Eligibility window is September 1, 2019 to August 31, 2020. I'm not complaining, but what's reason for its nomination? A re-release maybe?

I just have SO many questions.
100% supportive of the Dua love. Taylor noms may be problematic in the grand scheme of things, but this album deserves them. Zero noms for The Weeknd doesn't make any sense whatsoever; maybe he was up against Dua in all categories and voters went with Dua? No idea. Bieber album was not good - but he makes a good point. Beyonce noms equally as baffling as the lack of Weeknd noms. No Chicks noms?
