^eh we're not bashing her because she won, we're bashing her because she won and she's not as talented as other people there.
You know, one of my friends showed me the quote on their wiki page, "I think the Grammys are nothing more than some gigantic promotional machine for the music industry. They cater to a low intellect and they feed the masses. They don't honor the arts or the artist for what he created. It's the music business celebrating itself. That's basically what it's all about."
I can appreciate the grammys for showing, I guess what mainstream music in America looks like, and honoring it, but that's not going to stop me from saying what I'm gonna say about the other people there, when we're discussing it in a thread.
In my opinion, Taylor Swift cannot sing, which she proved when she was on stage, and she is no where near as innovative as some other people there. But, she is hugely successful, and I guess this is her time to be honored for being successful.
I think people just wish the Grammys were more about the actual music. But I don't really know if they've ever been that way, and looking at their track record...it's very meh to me.
As for Gaga, she proves her musical talent every time she composes a song and sings on stage. It's more than enough for me to know that she is an actual musician who had an amazing reputation in the industry before she even debuted, and will continue to have an amazing reputation whether she continues to produce solo work, or work for other people.
