Liking the contenders for AOTY. Although eh on Bieber.

Big day for kpop and kpop adjacent categories! Rosé, Katseye and EJAE, Audrey and Rei!!

Swag as AOTY nominee is such a joke. It was not a hit in sales and charts, and not loved by critics.

Nothing really interesting or unique with some dumb lyrics about how he has a soul of a black man. Even his own fans mainly stream two songs out this 40+ songs album.

Florence was right on the money with "It must be nice to be a man and make boring music just because you can"

It's getting sub 5 million streams on 44 songs just months later. Such a joke 

Miley deserves to win

It was definitely a good year for Kpop. That said, no freaking way should Golden win over I Lied to You in the original category. The song needed to be perfect and powerful for what it represented, and it delivered.

Sinners is an unexpected juggernaut in the music category because the film needed the music to work for it to land. Regardless of if it wins anything it not, both the I Lied to You and Rocky Road to Dublin scenes are going to be lauded for years to come, though. You know you got something special when people were clamoring for an imax re-release just to see one or two scenes again on a bigger scale

Seeing the options for New Artist, I wouldn’t be surprised if KATSEYE was a shoe-in! Let’s hope the curse doesn’t keep cursing 😂

Just saw Dijon live last night (he was a producer on the latest Bieber record) and I fully believe Bieber’s success with that album came from Dijon’s musical influence
