Man, I mean, I liked 25. But it's a typical mopey Adele album. Half the songs are on the same subject. Adele addressing a former love, because... Of course.

From beginning to end, Lemonade is just a perfectly plotted, cohesive journey. You FEEL like you're in a different place at the end of the album than when you started. And that's supposed to be what makes Album of the Year.

Anybody who knows me knows I hate Beyonce but, yeah, she was robbed tonight.
 
Racist Grammy's strike again, seriously that album was basic as fuck compared to Lemonade.

At least Adele is a female. Having Sturgill win would have been worse. He's white, male, worked rail yards for a few years (pretty blue collar work), and from the country genre. Basically like giving the Grammy to a stereotypical "Trump Voter".


(For clarification I have no idea what Sturgill Simpson's political leanings are. I was merely using the broad strokes of his character to highlight what people might have seen as a larger "Racist Grammy" reaction compared to a simply a white female winning)

For real I love that Adele basically said Beyoncé deserved it right on the stage and how great Lemonade is
 
Adele's best album is 19 but you can still clearly say 21 deserved AOTY. tons of singles that did well and enraptured the public. I guess you could say the same about Hello but 25 did not deserve.

Yup 21 winning over the other albums is a no brainer, it was great album. 25 winning is bullshit, Purpose and Views shouldn't have been nominated. All this year proved was that if you sell enough singles and enough albums you can nominated even if your album is average as fuck. Just watch Bruno fucking Mars win AOTY next year.
 
25 is a fucking NOTHING album, it beating Beyoncé is just sad.
It was a monster hit larger than basically any other in a decade. Beyonce's was a bit of a flop. Sales are not everything but really, Lemonade had no meaningful impact outside of the Super Bowl performance. Sales were tepid and sustained online views are low.

You nailed it. Lemonade is much better. Solange's album is also much better.

some pretty good performances tonight. Bruno killed the Prince tribute. Chance took the entire Grammys audience to church. I think Beyonce revealed her true identity as some goddess deity on stage too

25 is a better album than Lemonade, but Lemonade has better highs.
It is fucking not a better album, just ask the dam critic reviews.

Bull fucking shit. Is the grammy about sales or artistry because 25 was nothing when it compares to Lemonade. 25 had no impact beside "Hello."
