“I don’t want to embarrass this young lady, but she has more Grammys than anyone, and never won album of the year,” he said of Beyoncé. “Even by your own metric that does not work. Think about that, most Grammys, never won album of the year, that doesn’t work.”

Sorry, don’t care. Wealthy entitled negro needs to STFU. Won’t listen to one minute of any of their garbage.

*** “Just keep showing up,” he added. “You got to keep showing up until they give you all those accolades you feel you deserve. Until they call you chairman, until they call you a genuis, until they call you the greatest of all time. You feel me?”***

Conceit, pure and simple.

I have no problem with people showing up, but to go as far as saying you’re the GOAT just because you *think* you are really says something.

I got the daughter part but I had no idea the person in the hat was the wife...didn’t know why they kept putting the camera on her.. I’m more of the Tony Bennett, Burt Bacharach, Tijuana Brass era..

True about the 12 year old’s neckline..Why did she have to go up on the stage? Have to wonder about the values taught there! Probably true of every celebrity family.

Time to shut up...

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m totally out of this pop culture scene and don’t miss it a bit.

I never heard of most of the names.

Does album of the year even make sense anymore? Who is listening to entire albums? It’s all about the singles these days.

How do you even BUY an album anymore?

I have not bought an album since CDs went out of style.

Now, I go to my Spotify APP on the phone and search. OOPS, still can’t find any Neil Young songs there. Too bad.

If anything, I’d call them progressive rock. They kinda defy classification.

Contrast that with the Lainey Wilson acceptance speech, talk about humble. Oh, and she thanked the Lord, how terrible.

It has drifted away from "albums", but they are still a thing I believe.
