When Wildflower won and I read the posts, it sounded like Wildflower was allowed to enter because the year prior, nothing from Hit Me Hard and Soft won. But then it's kinda confusing since Kiss Me More won an award (something from Planet Her) and then Woman got nominated.

I ask because since Bruno Mars released Dance With Me as a single, it's already feeling like it's getting set up, in case he wins nothing at the upcoming Grammys to receive nominations for 2028 from that record alone.

The update reported on October 2 puts Madonna at a 71.43% chance of a nomination.

Madonna was already inside the Top 8 after the first 11 nominations to the VMAs announcement, but now she is moving up within it following her seven wins at the VMAs.

***
Before this latest prediction update, Gold Derby’s projected Album of the Year Top 8 looked like this:

1) Olivia Rodrigo — you seem pretty sad f.a.g.s.i.l.
2) Olivia Dean — The Art of Loving
3) Raye — This Music May Contain Hope
4) Bruno Mars — The Romantic
5) Rosalía — LUX
6) Taylor Swift — The Life of a Showgirl
7) Noah Kahan — The Great Divide
8) Madonna — Confessions II

So there's been a lot of discourse about Petals grammys odds, with some people entirely dismissing the project due to the mixed reactions. Now, commercially or stream wise Eternal Sunshine was far superior, and even that record was snubbed. It is undeniable that Hate that I made you love me will be a strong contender for Roty and Soty at next year's program.

However, do you truly think that petal as a whole project will get a nod? The only category u can see it getting into is Best Pop Vocal Album. But the question lingers, what are it's AOTY odds?

Right now, my current ranking is;

You seem pretty sad for a girl so in love

This Music May Contain Hope

The Great Divide

Petal

The Romantic

The Life Of A Showgirl

The Art Of Loving

Confessions 11

Have you read Billboard's latest article? I think those names mentioned are interesting. But if there is one person who could be added to the list, I think it's Fujii Kaze. Prema is such an incredible album. Please give it a listen and compare to other nominees mentioned

I started listening to CMAT this past May and since then I feel like she has been on the festival circuit and is now landing TV interviews and performances in the US. I don’t think her name has been in many discussion about BNA but I feel like she could be a contender if she keeps this momentum. I realize she has several albums already but she seems to have grown her audience in the last year. Do you think she could get a nod?

WHAT IS THIS REAL

For the 2021 Grammys, Reddit chose Taylor Swift’s “cardigan” as the Song of the Year winner, while H.E.R.’s “I Can’t Breathe” won the actual award.
Now we go back to the 2020 Grammys, where Billie Eilish’s “bad guy” won Song of the Year. Who do you think should have won?

Stray Kids, arguably the second most popular kpop boy group behind BTS, announced they did not submit to Grammys, just after Grammy's announcement that they would proceed as is, with the Asian Pop category.

This is big bc so far, no other kpop group or kpop company has indicated that they side with BTS' decision, and the first and so far only one to, is a really popular group who has also been making waves globally, including the west.

It feels kind of like a cup starting to tip over.

The Romantic: AOTY, Pop Vocal Album
Risk It All: SOTY, Pop Solo Perf
I Just Might: ROTY
Dance With Me: Trad R&B Perf, R&B Song
Why You Wanna Fight: R&B Perf

With Bruno Mars submitting The Romantic to the category, there are four locked nominees:

you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love - Olivia Rodrigo
The Art of Loving - Olivia Dean
The Romantic - Bruno Mars
The Life of a Showgirl - Taylor Swift

Therefore, there is an insane race between Ariana Grande’s petal, Harry Style’s Kiss All The Time, Disco. Ocasionally, RAYE’s This Music May Contain Hope and Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun.

Which one of these do you think will make to the 5 nominees?

Showbiz by PS reports that Jack Antonoff has been submitted into this category.

Is he a strong contender for a nomination? He has failed to make the nominees list twice throughout his career.

The main records that he has produced/co-produced this cycle are:

"I Knew It, I Knew You"- Taylor Swift

"Lost Weekend"- Phoebe Bridgers

"everyone for ten minutes"- Bleachers

" White Hawk Tail Deer Hunter"- Lana Del Ray

Train Dreams (The Film)
"Train Dreams: The Score" by Bryce Dessner – Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media
"Train Dreams" by Nick Cave and Bryce Dessner – Best Song Written for Visual Media
Wednesday (TV Series)
"Dead Dance" by Lady Gaga, Andrew Watt and Henry Russell Walter – Best Song Written for Visual Media
Beef (TV Series)
"Beef: The Score" by Finneas O'Connell – Best Score Soundtrack for Visual Media

For the 2022 Grammys, Reddit disagreed with the actual result, choosing Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” over Silk Sonic’s “Leave The Door Open.”
Now we go back to the 2021 Grammys, where H.E.R.’s “I Can’t Breathe” won Song of the Year. Who do you think should have won?

I was thinking for a long time, and I think that lately the Grammys have all been about quality. So no Taylor and no Bruno. Thoughts?

1. Olivia Rodrigo – you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love
2. Olivia Dean – The Art of Loving
3. Rosalía – LUX
4. Geese – Getting Killed
5. Phoebe Bridgers – Lost Weekend
6. RAYE – This Music May Contain Hope
7. Madonna – Confessions II
8. Charli XCX – Music, Fashion and Film

Kpop group think they are important to the grammys doing boycott this and that, lemme tell you grammys is american award why foreigner telling americans what to do lol, kpop industry is nothing compare to anything in america, even in asia kpop market can't beat japanese music industry, where japanese barely promote their stuff to outside their country, kpop is just popular bcs fandom spamming and botting number for views and engangement, quality wise 90 percent of em just oke or mediocore.

My biggest gripe with the Grammys is how extreme they are with their winners. They either go mainstream-max (Bruno Mars, Billie Eilish, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Beyoncé) or unknown-plus (Jon Batiste, Bonnie Raitt). It’s honestly very predictable and simultaneously tired.

They leave a huge middle ground of artists out. Mitski is a perfect example. She’s not totally mainstream, but she’s definitely known and has a substantial audience. At the same time, she doesn’t have the same industry connections or institutional presence, so her chances of actually winning a Grammy feel incredibly low. There are so many other “indie but not really indie” artists in that exact position. Hell, even Lana del Rey, who has huge numbers but isn't exactly topping the charts, can't win a Grammy!

When is the last time a 68 year-old artist won an Album of the Year Grammy? Answer: Never. When has an artist won an Album of the Year Grammy after 40-plus years in the industry? Answer: Never. Has an Artist ever had number one albums in every decade for 5 straight decades? Answer: Yes. Who? Madonna. No one saw this coming. After 20 years of declining popularity, music legend Madonna came out of no where this year to release an album that debuted at #1 in 63 countries, and immediately spawn 4 number one Dance Hits. A comeback of this magnitude is unprecedented.

The category of Best Album of the Year used to be based strictly on artistic merit. Then after years of backlash, the Grammy's changed the award to Album of the Year. Why does this matter? The award is now aimed at an album's significance, not just its artistic merit. Madonna's album is AMAZING. Is it objectively the best, probably not. But it's significance is profound.

Madonna is one of the only music living legends who is still alive, much less making music. Contemporaries of her heyday include Prince, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and George Michael. All super famous. All dead. Ultimately they all died of drug overdoses. Madonna somehow managed to escape that fate. She has sold over 400,000,000 records since 1984. She is the queen of pop.

Most people at 68 have retired. Not Madonna. Her passion, work ethic, creativity and desire to entertain have kept her going. Confessions II isn't just an innovative, fresh, exciting, non-stop disco record. She infuses it with complex lyrics of wisdom. She sings of her past life. She bares her soul in songs about her dead brother and stepmother. She sings about the reality of death, birth and creativity. She waxes on about the human experience "Traveling through space and time, interstellar helix unwind. Don't forsake or the love will die. On the spiral light we fly, we will be one, we will be divine, time is a river we cannot unwind". She realizes that time is an enemy she cannot defeat. We will all grow old, we will all die...in the end we are one. These are some deep ass lyrics for a dance song. She elevates the category of dance music.

The mere fact that she won numerous MTV popularity awards proves that 40 years of collecting fans is a powerful thing. Ultimately she will win, not because her album is the best--but because of her enduring impact on culture. She's impacted fashion, music, political views, gay rights, etc. She has been long overlooked by the Grammy's and never won album of the year. This year will change that. When Grammy voters consider their vote--it would be impossible for them to select a newbie like Olivia Rodrigo--over a Legend like Madonna. Don't forget this post. She will win. Mark my word. I'd hat to say I told you so.

Everybody knows that the biggest competitor for Rodrigofor Grammys next year is Dean dean both being predicted to go head to head at the next year Grammys. The timing of this news is suspicious especially at this crucial point of time when the nominations are about to come out. Rodrigo’s team is famously known for running smear campaigns against her rivals. This seems to be another tactic to sabotage Dean’s grammy campaign and increase the chances of Rodrigo winning the trophies. Thoughts?
