they didnt wanna give it to someone black that bad that they had to REACH back

Girl they just gave it to Chance last year, a black rapper at that. Y'all stay reaching.

[HUGO]

I like Alessia so I?m gonna ignore this LMAO

But yea she shoulda been nominated last year. Can?t believe her album came out in 2015

Wait this is even worse

I thought maybe she had released new music after. I?m fuming even more they did my girl Sza like this

q

You know Sza has been around longer than her right?

This is her first album tho

Grammy officials will tell you that Best New Artist is the hardest category to get right. In years past, sometimes they've been too lenient about eligibility (Shelby Lynne was on her sixth studio album when she won). Other times, they've been too strict (Richard Marx was knocked out of contention for having had one song on the Nothing in Common soundtrack?an album that wasn't even a hit).

so basically the Grammys are a sham, okay!

The way the industry built up Khalid naught
He?s the one that is actually NEW

Eligible

Alessia Cara. The singer/songwriter was allowed in even though her 2015 hit "Here" was a smash. It was certified double platinum by the RIAA on Jan. 7, 2016?nearly nine months before the start of the current eligibility year (Oct. 1, 2016-Sept. 30, 2017). Cara also had another platinum single ("Wild Things") and a gold album (Know-It-All) prior to the start of this eligibility year?a year in which she built on that early success with numerous hits.

this doesn?t make sense
they?re saying she had an album before
but I guess you?re new until you smash?

She was eligible because she never received a Grammy nod either which made her qualified although she made multiple attempts before.

hard to get it right!

ch I guess

Kehlani. The singer/songwriter wasn't eligible for her first full-length album, SweetSexySavage. She was nominated for Best Urban Contemporary Album two years ago for her mixtape You Should Be Here. Artists are no longer eligible once they have received a Grammy nomination.

Damn. 

[ya rock muh world.]

Well if she didn't get nominated last year it kinda makes sense.

Seems like the Grammys have been in the mood for correcting a lot of their wrongs (more diversity in the AOTY category, etc.) This could have been one of them.

[Navyman]

It makes sense though. Her album dropped November 2015(couldn't submit for 2016 grammys, missed deadline. And the single Here didn't  decieve any nominations) Her song Here peaked in January 2016, her follow up single was a moderate hit, the 3rd single Scars to your beautiful peaked end 2016, which became her biggest solo song. along with her Zedd collaborations and logic collaborations in 2017 in which her stock continued to rise. Hence 2018 grammy.

With his non singin ass

(The new rules say an artist "must have released a minimum of five singles/tracks or one album," but cannot have released "more than 30 singles/tracks or three albums" prior to the start of the current eligibility year.)

nah, the album was out in time for the 2017 awards
just because it didn?t get nominated shouldn?t put her in contention with artists who just dropped
