2017 Grammys - Yappi Sports

It's not about the awards but about the performances. Beyonce will probably clean up on the awards but who will have that memorable performance?

Possessed · #2 02-10-17, 09:26 AM

2017 grannies??? Das a lot o old ladies!

Dvr it and watch it all in like 30 minutes. Used to get excited for them but the rap and rock they nominate is a complete joke Especially the rap which these old white peoples have no idea about

a young teen at the beginnings of rap would be 50ish? The old white people probably got a better idea than these kids throwing out 40 year old schemes they heard on the elevator.

Except these voters know nothing about the music or culture. Where your reasoning goes wrong is assuming just because they were around for the start , they actually know the music. They don't. They are clueless.

They go to billboard and choose the top sellers now. When people like Nicki Minaj are up for Grammys it says it all

While not a huge Adele fan at least she is genuine while Beyoncé...

Yappi · #7 02-12-17, 10:16 PM

I haven't watched the whole thing but I thought Beyonce was awful. She is so full of herself that she thinks she can throw anything out there and people will eat it up.

Also disappointed by most of the musical acts. Seems most are looking to sell future records rather than letting the people enjoy the songs that got them there this year.

And I thought David Bowie winning for a rock song was a bit of a joke. Never heard the song but knew he was going to win because that is how these award shows seem to work.

Just read that Bowie had won one Grammy in his lifetime but won FIVE tonight.

Blackstar is actually a good album but agree Bowie was thrown a bone by the voters.

Love lady Gaga and Metallica is my all time favorite band. But it was not a good collaboration. She pretty much ruined a great song.

BigBallin'4theFuture · #11 02-13-17, 12:26 AM

Bruno Mars. Best performances, HANDS DOWN.

But VERY glad to see Chance the Rapper have big wins. All is not lost.

Jim Lahey · #13 02-13-17, 07:57 AM

The Ceelo Green memes have been hysterical this morning. My favorite is him as Zordon from Power Rangers

Arrogate · #14 02-13-17, 08:11 AM

I hate Bruno Mars.

Telling girls, you are amazing just the way you are is completely ridiculous. They need to lose weight, get hotter, and reproduce, that's it. They aren't amazing and it contributes to girls being fat and eating pizza at Planet Fitness.

Yeah!

Lost interest for good when Jethro Tull won the hard rock award like 30 years ago.

Just another industry show for them all to give each other hand jobs.

Really don't like his song on the radio.

The Grammys were on last night? So that is why the Elementary rerun started late. Life is to short to waste it watching the Grammys.

Wow. Even folks on here with racist comments about "old white people" not knowing rap and such. That's like saying "young black peoples don't know education" lol.

Can white people do ANYTHING these days that ain't raaaccccissss...

Auggie · #20 02-13-17, 09:28 AM

Want to win a Grammy? Make an album full of soul barring slow ballads.

Chatter on the Grammys:

- Beyonce and he celebrity infrastructure treats her and has her believing she is a deity, how come no white act gets the same treatment?

- At some point in the near future that strategic fashion glue will fail at the Grammys.

- The big winner was Verizon, they announced their version of unlimited data during a Grammy's Ad and that is what was blowing up on Twitter.

Considering I'm white , my comments can't be deemed racist. I was never saying all white people dont know rap. I was saying the old pasty white dudes from the academy don't know rap

That's why Panda was nominated for record of the year ... and why Kanye and dj khaleds crap albums were up for album of the year

Glad Chance won because he has some talent but I don't love his music either

the first sentence is gold. Gold Jerry!

You think ashy old black dudes know rap Amy better? Any reason to throw a negative slur about skin color in there to make your point other than a racist base? You do realize that if it isn't racist it's at a minimum stereotyping right?

MentorGrad2002 · #23 02-13-17, 10:18 AM

If you were smart, you would have read my comments where I clearly was talking about the old white academy voters not knowing rap. Not all white people That's why I said words like "these" and "they" talking about that group of white people who vote on these

I also mentioned them not knowing rock or metal too which are mostly made up of white performers.

If anything this shows how quickly people are to claim racism even when it isn't there

Jim Lahey · #24 02-13-17, 10:27 AM

Not to defend Slide, but you have, in the past, mentioned how white people don't know rap.

MentorGrad2002 · #25 02-13-17, 10:37 AM

Point out an instance of that ? I'm always talking about mainstream award show people not knowing rap.

There's also the kiss fm white kids who only like rappers like Eminem and drake who don't know the genre at all. That isn't about race though. Rock people can say the same things about kids only knowing the mainstream radio rock

But I've never said all white people dont know rap or else I'd be burying myself too

So do they "not know rap" because they're old or white? Skin color defines a genre?

Raaaaacissssss.... you CLEARLY are saying either their age or SKIN COLOR defines them. If you were smart, you'd know that is the very definition of racism.

Jim Lahey · #27 02-13-17, 10:50 AM

I'm not searching through your post history for something you know as fact but don't want to admit.

Also, didn't say you said "all white people" but you definitely have said something along the lines of "white people don't know rap" when not referring to the Grammys

MentorGrad2002 · #28 02-13-17, 10:51 AM

More like background and not knowing the music because they weren't raised on it and never took the time to research it

Which is why I brought up examples showing how clueless they are and brought up their lack of knowledge on rock too

But nice try

So you told me to check back on all the posts for acc vs big 10 stuff. When I brought up a few examples you said you wanted more

But now you don't have the time to find any instance? Funny how that works

You do realize that any musician/songwriter/engineer or anyone else that contributed to at least 6 commercially recorded songs or 12 digitally released songs and pays annual dues of $100 are the people that make up the Academy, right? What exactly makes you say they're "pasty old white people"? Other than stereotypes?
