[Blind Gossip] The announcement of the Grammy nominees is usually a joyous occasion for those music artists whose work topped the Billboard charts this year.
Well, except for these two!
This male recording artist has already won multiple Grammys… but was snubbed for the 2021 ceremony.
He is not happy.
With all that time on the charts, he was expecting nominations for Record, Album, and maybe others. At least two. It was on lock. We had the champagne all ready. It’s f*cked up that he got nothing. He is super pissed!
This very successful group received one weak nod. Not a complete rejection, but they are unhappy and feel rejected nonetheless.
They had one of the biggest songs of the year. No nomination for best record or best song or best album?! This is the kind of band that keeps the music industry alive.
They won’t complain in public because they are too gracious, but they think there might be a racist component here.
This isn’t just a snub of a group. It’s a snub of a country and a race and a fan base.
Yikes!
That’s a lot of snubs and a lot of anger.
At least Taylor Swift will be there for the umpteenth time! She got nominated for Song of the Year for Cardigan and Album of the Year for Folklore.
In honor of that, here’s Taylor Swift wearing a cardigan.
And Beyonce is happy that she got nominated for the millionth time!
If Beyonce is happy, shouldn’t we all be happy?
Okay, she doesn’t look happy there. But Beyonce must be happy with her nine nominations. Yes, NINE!
I’m goin’ back to the South
I’m goin’ back, back, back, back
So Taylor Swift and Beyonce are going back, back, back, back to the Grammys.

Male Recording Artist: THE WEEKND!!!
Group: BTS, I’m guessing…
Optional: After Hours has been on non stop repeat since it dropped!! Like what?!?! I’m equally outraged about the snub! The Weeknd is THE ARTIST of 2020 in my opinion. I mean, really, the aesthetics he chose for the era are just spot on. Who doesn’t feel exactly how Abel has been walking the red carpet? With 2020, the hits just kept on coming and the grammy’s are just another example of that. The End. Thanks for reading.

The Weeknd, not sure on the group unless Megan Thee Stallion and Cardi B can be considered a group. The disgusting WAP was snubbed, thank goodness.

Edit: my friend who is up on these things thinks the group is BTS. I obviously am not Up On These Things.

Yuk! Why I don’t listen to pop trash. Auto-tuned plastic bots.

The weeknd n BTS. Weekend had a huge album with no collaborations n shd have been nominated n bts had billboard #1. Doesn’t make any sense. Taylor has the best album of the year. I mean i thought they were focusing on diversity but leaving best black male artist and Asian group both had biggest sales doesn’t make sense. Kanye getting Christian nod. What? I’m not saying hes a gold digger…lol

The Weeknd & BTS . Something very wrong. And how did Justin Bieber get nominated for awful album? Payoffs ? Racism? Nothing else makes sense. Nobody over 9 listened too Yummy and thought that it was a good song

Unsure about the group
Your favorite song or artist of 2020? Nothing. 2020 was pretty much a music wasteland in my opinion.

The Wknd and BTS
They both deserve nominations.
My favorite new music in 2020: Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Troye Sivan, Harry Styles, Fiona Apple, grateful for all music that helps me get through isolation.

both were definitely snubbed, especially bts. They’re my favourite group and it’s quite clear that the grammys refused to acknowledge their impact on the music industry!
JoshuaTree says
The Weeknd and BTS. The Weeknd was completely robbed with zero noms.
tundrapetal says
The band is BTS? Not sure about the male singer. Beyonce and Taylor work with the elite, any artist that doesn’t fit the agenda and pay their respects won’t get help.

I’m not a superfan of either but the slighting does seem very odd. The Grammy’s aren’t known for being ‘with the times’ though, are they.

My favourite is The Weeknd, very disappointed hes got no nominations shocking, same for BTS they deserve more, same old boring Taylor and Beyonce, always the same.

Not sure
superrrad says
Definitely The Weeknd and BTS.
The Weeknd was majorly snubbed. It has to be intentional. Grammy’s can only stay relevant by being controversial…
I’m happy for BTS but I’m not going to lie I was a little surprised they were nominated. Dynamite was a huge song and is one of my favorites of the year for sure, but it’s not up to par with the quality of their Korean songs. They definitely wouldn’t have gotten a nom in a big category like that with a mostly Korean song though. Progress !
labhluva14 says
Male Recording Artist: The Weeknd

GirlPlease says
Yeah this one is definitely about The Weeknd getting totally snubbed for Blinding Lights that did super well on the charts this year and BTS not getting song or record of the year for Dynamite which was a huuuge number one for weeks.
aaaadr1s says
Well the group is obviously BTS and I’m angry with them! Until I saw the rock and metal nominations and remembered that the Grammys are clueless about what’s actually good and focus instead on who they want to promote.

I swear I haven’t heard anything new from Beyonce in about 5 or six years. What is she being nominated for? I thought she retired.

No idea, but as long as Harry Styles made the list and wins his categories I’m happy

Delightful says
the Weekend and BTS. Music awards are impossible, as tastes are so subjective. But there is a voting process, and if they did not get enough votes, they aren’t really eligible, are they? It sounds like they were counting on the corrupt system to give them nominations, when maybe the corrupt system is actually trying to right itself for once. Either way, I personally do not care. I find all of the nominees underwhelming. People should just like what they like and ignore this nonsense.
cassadaga says
Male Recording Artist: Definitely The Weeknd.
Group: BTS.
I did notice most of the artists are from the US. Pretty dull, but expected – that said, maybe they have a point. I don’t listen to them but they’re *everywhere*.

Justin Bieber is the singer.
Maroon Five for the band?
Optnl: Much too much hip hop and other boredom for me in the music scene of 2020. But I did enjoy Margo Price’s Twinkle Twinkle and Stone Me. Scorching rock songs on her latest album!

Male artist is likely The Weeknd, who deserved better. A lot of the nominations were puzzling, if only for the categories they were placed in.

Once again the Grammy nominations exhibit how irrelevant these awards are by sticking to a limited pool of favored artists regardless of the quality of output.
aaaFan88 says
Anyone – Demi Lovato got snubbed, she never gets even nominated for her work
Blinding Lights – The Weeknd
YoGo8c says
The Weekend and BTS obvs. Not convinced about the ‘racist’ tag, everyone just screams racism all the time when they don’t get their favs. However I’m not sure B* needs NINE noms. This is about female ’empowerment’ more than anything else imo. Yes it’s political. Yes it’s elitist, smug tokenism. But that’s where we’re at sadly.
inspectorGossipGirl says
Pharrell Williams?
I know The Weeknd has publicly spoken against this in the papers but there’s way too many “happy” references in this blind post to not be him!

This shows how out of touch the Grammys are with the public. The weekend’s album was fantastic this year. BTS have literally had the biggest impact on the music industry than any other band in the last 30 years how is it possible that they have been snubbed again. Same old drivel being recognized, yes you Beyoncé who hadn’t had a original idea since single ladies
