“I'm … Sasha Fearsth”, and I'm losing to Taylor Swift's “bold fear”. “Beyonce” who lost to Beck's “Morning Phase” -laugh. “Lemonade” lost to Adel's “25” -Easy to teach. “Renaissance” has lost to Harry Styles's “Harry's House”.
Four times, Beyonce was nominated for the album of the year at the Grammy Award, and she became shorter four times. Given that she was the most nominated artist in Grammy and the winner of the winner, the shutout was noticeable and the border was not mysterious.
And some fears were hovered to the 67th Grammy Award on Sunday night.
But this time she won. And her victory -“Cowboyer Tarter” is an album of the reconstructed American roots music centered on the participation of blacks and innovation, and even competitors are relieved when her name is announced. It looked like I did. Swift, one of the losers, shook the champagne flute with Beyonce's husband, Jay Z. The two who were almost certainly not needed to navigate the fifth Beyonce loss.
In order to completely evaluate the previous blind spots of the Grammy Awards, it helps to stay in the quality of Beyonce's album for a long time. They often sound as if they need more effort and thinking than all other albums released in a specific year. They make their ambitions EC.
However, the prize show is ARBITRARY, and the prize itself is not so meaningful. If you win seriously, you have to lose seriously. (Currently, Beyonce has been nominated for the 99 Grammy Awards and has won 35.)
Nevertheless, the fact that Beyonce did not win the album of the previous year is a grammy story, very loud and permanent, accepting speech, industry self -fluorescent, and ultimately Beyonce's music itself. I got to
In most cases, one of the most successful stars of pop had the effect of rendering as a loser.
This is a troublesome tension, given the scale of the ambitions of her work and its outstanding level. But it also emphasized a more broad problem with the Grammy Award. In recent years, considering how equity conversations are shaking the recording Academy, it is a comment from a former leader who minimizes the work of female artists, even if the black artist is boycotting the award. In other words, Beyonce's loss was personal, but it was symbolic.
Probably, there was no album that could not deal with these situations more than “COWBOY CARTER”. This is part of the Beyon Seal Bum group, which serves as a paper on the history of black music that had been overlooked. Mainly a group of silence that bothering the concept of country music and focusing on the mainstream country music industry that likes the very narrow stripes of this genre, and makes Beyonce's efforts feel like a humiliating rebellion. I'm watching.
However, you can also read the “Cowboyer” as an tacit provocation for Grammy voters. Perhaps the strange black dance music, which informed the “Renaissance”, was an extraordinary thing for them. Probably, the control of the “lemonade” cross -platform and the impact of the “Beyonce” surprise release may have overwhelmed the instruments of these albums. Or, simply, the voting blocks were not adjusted to her ears and hearts according to her frequency.
But what is the gentle reading of the Beatles' Blackbird? A warm appearance from Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson? Collaboration between Post Malone and Miley Cyrus? Ironically, “Cowboyer” is a peak grammy bait. This is an album that is an album that introduces one unique creative vision and execution of one of the 21st century signature pop stars, nostalgic nostalgia and genre faithful albums. Even the most ancient Grammy Award voters will recognize.
In the case of the album of the Year, “COWBOY CARTER” is a radical pick, decorating country music ideas again, and focusing on black collaborators both old and young. (Or, if the black roots of the country are given, probably Deupholsters is the correct word.) It is a traditional choice in genre customs and the mindfulness of the elder. And it is still an outsider's choice because of the simple fact that black performers, even Beyonce, are overlooked too often in such settings.
“I want to dedicate this to Martel,” she said in an acceptable speech and played the Grand All Ovory, the first black woman and also appeared in the “Cowboy Carter”. I admitted.
Beyonce was nominated for 11 awards on Sunday, and was conveniently sneaked into her seat shortly before the Cowboy Knotter won the best country album, and won the award for the first black woman. She also took Best Country Duo/Group Performance for “II Most Wanted”, a duet with Miley Cyrus. These victory was a nashville isolation and a light RE responsibility of an orthodox, but a global superstar nominated for a category that her name recognition exceeded all the other people. It was also the result. (She did not get the best Americana performance or the best melodic lap performance.
Beyonce has become the fourth black woman who won the Grammy Awards, following Rolin Hill, Whitney Houston and Natalie Call. Not Aretha Franklin. Not Missy Eriot. Not Mary J. Brige. Not Diana Ross. Not Janet Jackson. Not TLC. It is not Anita Baker. Not Mariah Carry. It's not Nicky Minage. Not Nina Simone.
It is easy to claim that the Grammy Award Award System, which could not recognize Beyonce's finest art power, is not a system at all, and as a result.
However, just because Beyonce is continuing to appear, it acknowledges the legitimacy of the prize in the willingness to accept the public. However, with her victory, the Grammy Awards can close the underestimated Beyoncé chapter and move on. Points have been proven.
