I can see why it's strange

Is that really the only rock category?

No. There's..

Best Metal Performance
Best Rock Song
Best Rock Album

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

yummy

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

Gilgamesh.

Ray, you don't need to do this anymore. You have a gf :traciandchelle:
