The 2023 Grammy Awards

The nominees for those of you who care.

Although it is worth noting that the Barbie soundtrack got a lot of nominations.

How all of those songs and mentions go there and then no nom in AOTY is weird.

Lana Del Rey did well again. And I just listened to "A&W and do not get the love for her.

But these look boring. Although this is the most out of touch I have been with music, and after they fucked over Adele last year, I am good to skip.

I love the love for SZA. She released the Album of the Year in my opinion. I don't hold out much hope she'll win a big one, though.

I do love the song Billie did for Barbie, and I hope it wins something.

Their love for Jon Batiste remains puzzling to me. Not that he isn't talented, but they way they prop specific people up for awhile is very curious.

That Songwriter of the Year category is a damn mess.

Wow this telecast has been great so far! Nearly 1.5 hours in and every performance so far has been solid.

Tracy Chapman getting her flowers for an all-timer of a song is great, and it was preceded by Miley getting her "Flowers" from Mariah Carey. Iconic opening.

Fucking Joni Mitchell.

Wow.

I know not a lot of people probably care about the Christian Contemporary categories, and I love me some Lecrae, but the fact that Lauren Daigle lost Album and Song in those categories is egregious. I just noticed she did not win.
