They are not corrupt. The voters just make bad decisions year after year in categories that don't make sense.

I'm shocked Blinding Lights didn't get a Record of the Year nomination. Thought it would've been a shoo-in!

On one hand, I understand The Weeknd's frustrations and I'm also very surprised he wasn't nominated. "Young Turks" "Blinding Lights" was one of the biggest hits of the year! On the other, in the article I kept reading shit about like "this was supposed to be the year we rise up" and it's like dude... it's just the f*cking Grammys. Artists should not be making music solely for awards and accolades, they should do it because they want to and enjoy it. Makes me question his authenticity tbh. If The Weeknd takes the same award show that gave Jethro Tull a heavy metal award AND Mehgan Trainor a Best New Artist award THAT seriously, then he's got some problems.

The Grammys will NEVER live down the Jethro Tull fiasco. In what world would a band whose best days were past them by the late 80's (I tend to associate them with the 70's) beat out Metallica at their peak in a heavy metal category that was their strength?

Maybe Kanye will storm the stage again and declare The Weeknd the winner. Isn't he supposed to be the president by now?

The people at the Grammys nominating committee command table were either well aware that The Weeknd didn't get any nominations, and they prepared themselves for backlash, or they were not or didn't see it as an issue. It's an incident that has once again tarnished the Grammys and shows how out of touch the academy overall is with the public. Either that or "money talks" behind the scenes - the wealthy (Beyonce, Taylor - and other associated acts to them or their management) get the majority of the nominations.

As usual, nominations suck, with two exceptions: Max Richter and Mickey Guyton got nominations!!! ♥
