I think it's really cool that there are so many talented artists competing for the top spots this year
. But I do wish the Grammys would consider recognizing more albums and songs outside of their usual commercial charts. You know, some critics have mentioned that the Grammys tend to favor artists who have already achieved a lot of mainstream success... like, what about all those incredible underground artists out there just waiting to be discovered?
I mean, I love Kendrick Lamar as much as the next person, but don't we want to give a platform to some fresh faces too?
And can we talk about how weird it is that the same artists are always competing in multiple categories? Like, Justin Bieber's album is also up for Best Pop Solo Performance
