Grammys

I'm willing to say there's no person that has stepped foot in a bar, between the ages of 40 and 50, that doesn't know several Beyonce songs.
 
 

I’m not in that range but have been in many bars. I’m not saying I wouldn’t recognize her songs, but other than single ladies I don’t think I would know any of them were her. I’m not saying it’s bad, just saying her type of music has never been anything I’ve paid attention to or sought out. Not intended to be a brag or shock value, just a statement.

I just went through the top 10 songs on Beyoncé’s Spotify page and I don’t recognize any of them. None of them are particularly interesting or memorable. Just bland corporate music written by a committee.

Pretty sure it’s America’s taste that sucks and not mine.

Truth.

Pretty soon it’s all going to be written by AI though I doubt there will be much difference.

We clearly hang out in totally different types of bars.

yeah, you guys really are trying to out-"outoftoucholdwhiteguy pretending to know zero pop music as some sort of signaling your self-satisfaction and feeling superior" each other with a bit extra oomph today...

even though there's not a lot there in terms of my favs, if you really are not familiar with irreplaceable, crazy in love, halo, single ladies...or destiny's child's hits like independent women, say my name, jumpin' jumpin', survivor (wulaw's favorite all time song for fuck's sake and that dude is the ultimate dork), bills bills bills...then jesus christ, let me also introduce you to something called human interaction.

she has definitely used some of her financial success to grow her brand...

2022:

 

I’m fairly certain that she doesn’t sing “Halo”. I think that I can prove it with this…

"Beyonce is so fine that even if she worked at Burger King, she could *still* marry Jay-Z." 

(pause)

"...but if *Jay-Z* worked at Burger King..."

Interesting chart.

I guess all the disco of the mid- to late-70's is "soul" on this graph(?).

When I was 25 I hung out at bars with chicks that I may be able to have sex with, but I'm sure your places had their merits

I don’t believe that “R&B” and “Soul” have ever been seen together at the same time.

I believe that “R&B/Soul” is the way that that color chart should be labeled. 

Also, how nice was the second half of the ‘80s, when country virtually disappeared from the charts?

The Grammys drew in 12.4 million viewers. That’s 30% more than last year and the biggest audience the award show has gotten since 2020.

I was almost asleep while my wife had that shit on in background and I heard, "I was inspired by John Prine" .  I heard the twitterverse blew up with folks pissed that Bonnie Raitt won  Fuck them.

You are correct.

Here's Maddona at the Grammys. She's 64 yo.

 

As a comparison, Susanna Hoffs is also 64. Here she is from a tweet last year.
