The one thing that is positive about the Grammys is it can expose artists and their work to a wider audience. Song of the Year is meant to be about the songwriting and the song that Bonnie Raitt wrote, by herself w/o the aid of 20 other people, is a beautiful poignant song

Bonnie was at Paisley Park with Prince to show him how to play slide guitar, since she’s one of the best, but he decided to just have her play on his song instead. Her guitar work is on Cream. Legends know legends.

People think SOTY is for the most popular song or song they heard on the radio the most. This isnt the AMAs or Billboard or People’s Choice awards–this is the Grammys. SOTY is a songwriter award it looks at lyrics and melody. That’s why Bonnie Raitt won.

Beyoncé attended to pick up the most treasured Grammy, not to add to her chest of 20+ R&B Grammys… they played her again. She should not attend for Renaissance: Act II if it is also highly acclaimed and nominated for AOTY. Period. She could’ve been practicing choreo or somethin.

Something else I noticed… we’ve seen/heard multiple gospel choirs tonight and yet, gospel has yet to have a proper tribute at the Grammys.
Gospel’s influence on modern music is arguably greater than any other genre’s influence.
