TopicGrammys KPop Snub Olivia Dean Negative

Another year, another Grammy ceremony where they use K-Pop for views but refuse to give them awards. Ros茅 and Bruno Mars had the biggest song of the year with 'APT,' but they lost to Kendrick?. And KATSEYE losing Best New Artist to Olivia Dean feels like the Academy just refusing to acknowledge pop groups. They invite these artists to perform to get the ratings up, but the voting body clearly still doesn't respect the genre. It鈥檚 exhausting.
TopicBad Bunny Album of the Year ICE Speech Neutral
The most interesting part of Bad Bunny's win is that it officially ends the 'English Supremacy' of the Recording Academy. For 68 years, you had to sing in English to be considered 'The Best.' Now that the glass ceiling is broken, watch the floodgates open. K-Pop and Afrobeat artists are looking at this win and realizing they don't need to release English versions anymore. The global music industry just officially arrived in America.

I love Kendrick, but the Grammys are so boringly predictable. Giving him Best Rap Album again for 'GNX' feels like they are on autopilot. There were so many exciting new sounds in rap this year鈥擥loRilla, Doechii, JID鈥攂ut the Academy just lazily votes for the name they recognize. It鈥檚 the 'safe' choice. Hip-hop is evolving, but the voters are still stuck in 2015. Give someone else a chance to shine.

It is actually disrespectful to have the Super Bowl in New Orleans and NOT choose Lil Wayne. Wayne is the living legend of that city. He has been campaigning for this for years, and to give it to Kendrick鈥攚ho is an outsider from LA鈥攆eels like a slap in the face to Southern hip-hop culture. Jay-Z and Roc Nation played politics here. Kendrick is great, sure, but you don't walk into someone's living room and eat their dinner. This should have been Wayne's moment to shine in his hometown.

You can complain about the prices all you want, but this is the biggest musical event of the decade. I would pay double just to be in that crowd when the opening chords of 'Live Forever' hit. Oasis defined a generation, and the atmosphere at Wembley is going to be unlike anything we have seen since Live Aid. Money comes and goes, but the chance to see the Gallagher brothers on the same stage again is priceless. Stop whining and enjoy the moment鈥攚e never thought this day would actually come.

I give it three shows before Liam and Noel get into a fistfight on stage and cancel the rest of the tour. People are spending thousands on flights and hotels for a band that famously hates each other. It feels like a massive cash grab to pay for their divorces rather than a genuine desire to play together again. The magic of the 90s is gone, and watching two middle-aged men sneer at each other for two hours isn't worth the stress of the ticket queue. I鈥檒l just watch the documentary on Netflix.

The 'Dynamic Pricing' model is the biggest scam in the history of live music. I waited in a queue for six hours, only to find out the standing tickets had jumped from 拢150 to 拢400 while I was waiting. That isn't supply and demand; that is extortion. Oasis spent their whole career claiming to be the voice of the working class, and now they are letting Ticketmaster price-gouge their most loyal fans? It is completely shameful. I refuse to pay a month's rent just to hear 'Wonderwall' in a field.
