Quote
On Tuesday morning (Dec. 6), hard-rock vets Disturbed secured the second Grammy nomination of their career, as their somber live rendition of Simon & Garfunkel?s ?The Sound of Silence? was among the finalists for Best Rock Performance. The Chicago quartet, who included the cover on their 2015 album Immortalized, will compete against Twenty One Pilots? Top 10 smash ?Heathens?; the title track from David Bowie?s final album, Blackstar; a live performance of Alabama Shakes? ?Joe?; and ?Don?t Hurt Yourself,? from Beyonce featuring Jack White.
When asked about that last nominee ? Beyonce?s first appearance in the rock category, from her Album of the Year nominee Lemonade ? Disturbed frontman David Draiman tells Billboard that, yes, competing with Queen Bey in this context is a little startling. "I have mad respect for all the artists in this category, including and especially Jack White,? Draiman says. "Is it strange [to be up against Beyonce]? I think the reason you asked the question is because it is. It definitely stands out ? like, one of these things is not like the other, you know? But what are you going to do?"
Yet Beyonce?s unexpected nomination in the rock field is "not what bothers? Draiman, whose group has scored five No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart since its formation two decades ago. "What bothers me is that everybody in this category are giants of the field,? he explains. "These are the biggest of the big, the people who made a serious impact this year. Those boys in Twenty One Pilots did some damage this year. And Bowie, a posthumous award happens all the time, and who more deserving? It?s crazy the amount of talent in this category.?
Draiman continues, "When did it all become ?rock'? If you look at every other genre, there are so many categories and sub-categories. For rock, this is all we?ve got, so everything ends up being jammed into these four categories. Is it diverse? Absolutely. It?s too diverse! When you can have, with all due respect, a Beyonce and a Disturbed in the same category, something has gone wrong. Not taking anything away from her whatsoever, we?re just very different from each other.?
To be nominated for ?The Sound of Silence,? which started climbing the Hot 100 chart after a March performance on Conan and eventually peaked at No. 42, is ?very humbling,? says Draiman. After 20 years of delivering intense rock singles like ?Down With the Sickness? and ?Ten Thousand Fists,? Disturbed has the chance to snag its first Grammy Award, after being nominated and losing -- for "Inside the Fire," in the now-defunct Best Hard Rock Performance category -- in 2009.
"It wasn?t something that we expected,? admits Draiman. "This song seems to have touched and affected so many different people. It feels wonderful. It?s been tangible now, maybe more than ever ? the recognition factor has multiplied like tenfold, which is weird for me.?
Would Disturbed perform at the Grammys if asked? ?I would love to do it,? says Draiman. And asked about the group?s chances of winning, the frontman is already assuming Bowie?s ?Blackstar? has it in the bag. "If we?re gonna lose to someone, I?d love for it to be Bowie,? he says. "The nice thing about Bowie is that he?s been nominated in five categories, so he can give us this one!? Draiman laughs. "It?s a pipe dream, dude, but even pipe dreams are worth smoking."
hmmm
He's right to feel this way :dead:
It's like if Taylor Swift did a rap song and was nominated for it against Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, they would feel the same way.
Or when Kendrick lost that Grammy to Macklemore

I was reading this last night. I'm kinda torn.
On one hand I see exactly what he means, but on the other White people have been thieving and appropriating Black music for decades. So it's good to see a Black artist kinda give them their just due.
In his case though, I don't think it's about race.

The problem is that people think Beyonce should be nominated by default. And this is what Ive been saying about her music. In my opinion, it gets rotation and award nominations by default. Not because the music is spectacular, but because shes Beyonce. Default, expected recognition is really cheap to me. It doesnt really speak about the quality of the product but the popularity of the brand. Which is backwards. Sure, her being Black and a mainly Pop/Urban artist may play a role. But theres a weeeeee little itty bitty chance that the song just isnt THAT good. I'm sure dozens of artists submitted songs but there can only be but a few nominees. Cant get mad because you....wait for it.... EXPECT her to be included by default, just because she asked. n.

how you gonna rant about what "ppl think"?
Speak for yourself. Beyonc? is not nominated alone in any category, she isn't the only popular artist to have multiple nominations and wins at different shows. The only reason anyone is complaining is because they don't like Bey, and wish their favorite artists were in her position
His criticism is valid, and it would be no different the tables were turned. People would fume owt if Adele got nominated for Best R&B Album and won.
Racism and appropriation is not the same as favoritism and popularity
We all know that if Adele was nominated for an R&B category it would be due to her being white
Beyonc? got a nod because she made a Rock song and the committee felt it was good

Who thinks that tho? I mean other than her stans, who are gonna think she should be nominated just because she woke up.
It could be argued the other direction as well. People like yourself are never gonna think she deserves a thing because its Beyonc?. She hasn't sung a lyric of quality in her life let some u tell it. Had a Janelle Monae sang DHY, in the exact same way, there would be no controversy.
Sure a lot times the committee looks at the music she's released in a paticular year and immediately throws it into consideration before they might some obscure act, who may be just as deserving. Because she is NAME. A top name. If you don't think Sinatra, Whitney, Michael or Aretha benefited from the same privilege, you're foolish. It's the way it's been. Doesn't make it right but it wasn't born with Beyonc?. She's had an era where she was ignored by the Grammys for the most part (4). These noms aren't outta nowhere, she had one of the topped reviewed albums of the year.
But all of this is silly to me anyway because Don't Hurt Yourself is a song of quality. A ROCK song of quality. The lyrical content and the way it was sang, is convincing

The problem is that people think Beyonce should be nominated by default. And this is what Ive been saying about her music. In my opinion, it gets rotation and award nominations by default. Not because the music is spectacular, but because shes Beyonce. Default, expected recognition is really cheap to me. It doesnt really speak about the quality of the product but the popularity of the brand. Which is backwards. Sure, her being Black and a mainly Pop/Urban artist may play a role. But theres a weeeeee little itty bitty chance that the song just isnt THAT good. I'm sure dozens of artists submitted songs but there can only be but a few nominees. Cant get mad because you....wait for it.... EXPECT her to be included by default, just because she asked. n.
Who thinks that tho? I mean other than her stans, who are gonna think she should be nominated just because she woke up.
It could be argued the other direction as well. People like yourself are never gonna think she deserves a thing because its Beyonc?. She hasn't sung a lyric of quality in her life let some u tell it. Had a Janelle Monae sang DHY, in the exact same way, there would be no controversy.
Sure a lot times the committee looks at the music she's released in a paticular year and immediately throws it into consideration before they might some obscure act, who may be just as deserving. Because she is NAME. A top name. If you don't think Sinatra, Whitney, Michael or Aretha benefited from the same privilege, you're foolish. It's the way it's been. Doesn't make it right but it wasn't born with Beyonc?.
Basically I mean you said the same thing I said. Only adding that other big names get considered based on popularity and big name also. I dont deny that and didnt think to include other people because we're talking about Beyonce.

Racism and appropriation is not the same as favoritism and popularity
We all know that if Adele was nominated for an R&B category it would be due to her being white
Beyonc? got a nod because she made a Rock song and the committee felt it was good

I don't kno if it's because your faves don't get the same treatment...dead or alive....or what's the issue? What's done is done. She's nominated.

I don't understand why the gorls weren't mad at P!nk though when she was nominated for a Rock Grammy...
Bey's multiple, categorically diverse noms have the girls foaming at the mouth it seems
