Taylor Swift's victories at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards

the bros should be used to mile-long sagas and question why 'songs' are only a few minutes long and contain so many annoying electric sounds instead of the classic horn drum and bells

Grammy’s Night . . . !! ★🪩

Because I got sucked into the drama on Twitter, I watched Popstar Academy (would not have otherwise):

First, I hate survival shows. I’m just like keep that stuff within the company and start showing us material once you’ve chosen the people for the group. I know every company goes through that process of selecting people for the debut group but I’m not a fan of seeing it.

Reason I say this is because I understand & get people having star power or certain people always being in the lineup because they fit what the company is looking for. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that. In fact I think that’s the industry. But the way this show was formatted and presented to the girls, they went in thinking something else. Which I’m not sure what they were pitched vs if it was naïveté. (Also, it seems like only a small percentage of the girls were actually familiar with or fans of kpop, just an observation).

Having like 8 or so trainees join LATE, and picking trainees that didn’t even have singing or dancing background was certainly a choice. Like the show made the initial training group feel like a pre-training to get the girls where they need to be for the actual training/show. It’s a typical Netflix thing but I feel like some of the later trainees could’ve really benefitted from being there from the start. Especially since the show had some of the girls really starting from ground 1.

It turning into a survival show halfway through was VERY messed up, especially considering how many girls kept asking before they agreed to the program if it would be a survival show. That contract must have either been very vague with the wording or small font or something.

As the program was happening live, I think I only saw the Buttons performance. I wasn’t paying much attention to the program because I wasn’t interested. That said, the survival show didn’t even make sense if it was solely based on the performances & whatever content the girls chose to post on social media. I understand wanting to gauge fan interest in the girls but like idk have test groups? They should know any time there’s fan voting it’s biased as hell. There should always be a percentage taken into account with fan voting vs judge voting. But anyways, what makes this survival show weird is that part of what affects choosing favorites in other survival shows (like p101) is that you get to see the trainees interact with each other. Even though mnet evil edits, you see through the show who has leadership skills, who’s caring, who’s hardworking, who gets along, who’s improved, etc. All of that was missing when the program was live?! (unless I’m wrong) We’re only learning this stuff through the documentary. I’m only using this as an example but the girls were so shocked Manon scored high, but viewers didn’t know about the missed practices & stuff. Had viewers known, would Manon have scored so high? Who knows (she def has it girl + charisma, so very likely, but you see my point)

On Manon, as I alluded to before, I think it def would’ve been better if she were in that starting trainee group. While some things were missed due to covid which is excusable, it seems that other classes/training were missed just because. It has me curious if something serious irl was going on or what the cause was, but I suppose that’s her business. Classes/training are important. Personally, it would affect my choice of a bias if I knew that they skipped a lot and broke rules such as missing curfew a lot. That said, I do appreciate that she does show up & out when the time calls for it. I’m not sure if the girls really did isolate her or if anyone at least made an attempt to check on her. I understand the frustration of someone who consistently breaks the rules not getting penalized in some way. I’m glad Manon held herself accountable and really showed up at the end.

This program being in partnership with Hybe is so…🙃 to me. For example, Bang PD discussing the plateau in trainee growth and urging them to debut faster. Meanwhile Hybe groups are on blast about their short trainee times and the need to develop skills further. We start seeing more & more injuries in the girls and it’s like maybe if they took the time to further their training and learn how to properly do things, the amount of injuries could lessen. And then the emphasis on social media, developing a fandom, and discussing the parasocial relationship — felt very Hybe. Like yes social media skills are needed but the way they discussed creating the fandom was kinda 🙃 to me. Like the fandom is going to form. Those who were less comfortable/confident/familiar with posting on social media were at a disadvantage. And with them suddenly being thrown into a survival show, it’s not like they were prepared to appeal themselves to the public yet. I don’t think it should have been so important for them to necessarily be good at social media yet. That’s something I think could have been saved for the debut group (or maybe if they KNEW from the beginning it’d be a survival show with that type of format, more of the trainees would be those good at social media). But with how this survival show was formatted, social media was the only way to learn anything about their character.

Our hearts raced, our palms — they were clammy; The card then got handed to Granny. The night’s biggest honor And all eyes were on her ... Well, shit! Harry took home THE Grammy!

HARRY’S HOUSE WINS ALBUM OF THE YEAR!!!

[observer1090]

Midnights, while a decent album, did not deserve the award it got tonight. I can't believe Lana Del Rey will walk away without an award for what was an amazing album....

And you know what,, it shouldn't have gotten best pop vocal album either

(Full Focused) fromis_9(프로미스나인) 'Supersonic' 4K | STUDIO CHOOM ORIGINAL

thats actual K-Pop as its best, what is much more nicer maybe, the song, the choreo, the vocals, the cute girls, or finally...............all is incredible of course........................

[h-f-k]

What are your top 3 choices for Album of the Year as of right now?

there have been SO many album releases so far so i'm 100% missing a lot of of them (plus there are some albums/artists that i just don't really care bout) I was going to answer this with the albums i liked and not really think about the actual possibility of them getting nominated for said category but it felt like cheating lmao. I still haven't found my definitive top 3, Cowboy Carter and Brat are definitely part of it but i'm still missing a 3rd album that really speaks to me AND is also realistically eligible for a nom. Maybe Billie's album? i honestly don't really care about it, tbh it was a bit of a forgettable album for me personally but i know it's a great great contender considering the other options such as maybe ariana's album? (which i kinda liked but ari is also an artist that i don't really care about) and definitely taylor's (which of course is going to be nominated bc we live i a fucking society i guess)

We clowned for Rep TV yet we will receive a brand new album. Still a Win-Win I suppose. 2 TVs before a new album theory won.

Congratulations @taylorswift for winning your 13th Grammy and 4th Album Of The Year! 🏆 Another win for the history books. You deserve it!! We love you!! 🤍
