OT New Random Thread Pt. 3

Yes, pass her over because her smoking is unhealthy, but your choice of eating plate-fulls of bacon, pancakes, burgers, fries and donut holes.

Sounds like my kinda meal. I have that song from the video stuck in my head now!! Ugh!! Also, was that Kingbach in the video??

To be fair he is famous from his show "Epic Meal Time" which is just him making obscenely unhealthy food but I do agree that it's strange to include that in an ad that is supposed to encourage a "healthy" lifestyle.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Youtubers' appearing in random advertisements for self-promotion and money!

Kanye song sounds (tune wise) exactly like a song I made up with a 5 year old recently about why the library was fun.

Same rambling quality too


Anyway I'm just here for Bey

Thank you!!! I thought something was wrong with the sound on my TV, Kanye needs to stick to speaking rapidly with hand gestures and bobbing back and forth tunes...Yuck, his autotuned sound very amateurish ...

Best screaming moment for me...Annie Lennox, she showed the young autotuned artists how to take it to church when performing....Annie Lennox has the pipes and knows how to lead the church to the promise land...killed it!!!!

I loved her performance!

I didn't even like Beyoncé's performance. She did not do "Precious Lord Take My Hand" justice. They should have used Jennifer Hudson or a random gospel girl


I did like that it came before "Glory"... Since a request to have PLTMH played at the meeting they were headed to were Dr. King's last words

But Bey singing it...nah

 

[cheerKT]

Kanye, dude, give it up. His rant at the after party. I can't. Going off about how the Grammy's need to respect "real artists"

Beck has had a record deal since 1985.... I'm willing to bet my life that Kanye has never listened to Beck's album. Beyonce doesn't just win because she's your friend.

If anyone got robbed in that category it was Sam Smith. Sorry, not sorry.

Sam Smith wasn't robbed because the collective body of his album isn't great. His singles are amazing, but the misses on that album are duds. But even still a SS win made more sense than Beck


And I personally wish Kanye got up there and said what he wanted to say. I miss the old Kanye. Maybe he will drop that Kartrashian and get back to himself.

I try not to give the punk the time of day but I read a report that he said people only get up and go to work because artists like him and Beyonce create music for them. I am starting to dislike Beyonce just because he keeps associating himself with her. Complete jerk!

 

[cheerKT]

Also to call Beck out on "respecting artistry". Really?

 

[njallday]

we only got like 5 inches of snow but my ENTIRE car is buried. like I can't even find the doors to open it.. it's inside of ridiculously high drift. I don't even want to attempt to clean it

I can see that. But I still don't really get the outrage in Beck winning. I certainly like Beyonce, I jam out to her music all the time. And, for that matter, I listen to Kanye more than I listen to Beck.

But if it comes down to respecting artistry like he said, he clearly goes to Beck. Beck's album was produced by who? Beck. What did Beck contribute to his album? Vocals, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, piano, synthesizer, organ, electric bass, sound collage, tambourine, ukulele, celeste, dulcimer, harmonica, glockenspiel, and other orchestral arrangements.

Who produced Beyonce's album? 20 different people! And surprise, Kanye was among the list. What did Beyonce contribute to her album? Vocals, both lead and background. So.....true and real artist? Can Ye sing? We all know that answer

 

[Pebbles49]

Preach @cheerKT! I make a concerted effort to listen to obscure artists music and most of these artists who are not in the mainstream have some really amazing voices, I am definitely planning to listen to Beck's Album and collection of his music now, which probably had he not win, I would not... Everybody taste is just not Beyoncé and Sam Smith, grow up Kanye and take some vocal and autotune lessonssss if you are going .to sing a tune. Maybe I buy one of your albums, which I never because I just do not enjoy a lot of hip-hop, maybe Common, but I will not ever rush the stage to take your awards away...tsk, tsk!

Btw, I hated Beyoncé singing and she tried too hard to sing every note imaginable on that beautiful gospel hymn... I was screaming at the TV, sing the song and stop making this vocal aerobics...i would have preferred to hear a real gospel artists like Cece Winans or Karen 'Twinkle' Clark...Check these ladies out if you ever get a chance, these women will blow Beyoncé singing out the water....Just saying Kanye!

Kanye's anger toward Beck was misguided because after all Beck didn't award Beck the Grammy. He should be mad at his peers that comprise the Grammy voting body

The reality of what Kanye was trying to say and didn't properly articulate is that artists like Beyonce and even Taylor Swift are carrying the music industry on their backs. Would you have billed the show with Beck's performance or with Beyonce (even all the while glazing over the fact that all she sang was her struggle version of PLTMH). You're good enough to make us money and bring in viewers but you're not good enough for our awards. No Grammy's aren't voted on based on album sales , but personally I think that system of voting is antiquated and it's time to weigh other factors in


But at the end of the day I'm sure Bey doesn't care. she sold 2.2 million in the US, Beck sold 300,000. I'm sure she'd rather have her success in her bank account rather than on a shelf next to her other Grammy's

I don't disagree, but if these artists feel that strongly about the way the Grammys are decided, then they should boycott the event and publicly state why in a professional way rather than seek every photo op possible during the event and then have a tantrum afterwards. There are other artists that have boycotted events due to their disagreement with them (i.e. Toby Keith). If a number of high profile artists decline to attend and perform, the ratings will suffer accordingly. It is a far more effective way to argue your point without looking like a moron.

Well part of his rant was "We're not playing with them anymore". His "we" (and judging from the audience last night he isnt alone) needs to stand by it.

I said the same thing about the Oscars when Selma got snubbed in the noms....stop looking for validation from people that don't care about you. Make work you believe in and leave the trophies for the people that care about trophies.
