I still haven't seen one performance because I can't find them online anywhere. Somebody help!
No you’re wrong and what you think isn’t correct.Look, as much as I adore Beyoncé and appreciate that the Grammys finally gave her an Album of the Year after years of snubs, this win feels more like a long-overdue “legacy correction”.
I get that there’s a lot of pressure on the Grammys to “get it right” but that’s exactly what bothers me. When it hands out an Album of the Year award as a kind of corrective gesture, it undermines the award’s credibility. It comes off as if they’re more concerned with balancing the narrative and appeasing public outcry than with honestly assessing the art on its own terms.

Thats normal for Metacritic. It's not like Rotten Tomatoes where they take 200+ reviews.22 critics that gave a score?
If it's not her strongest body of work, why did she win now? Sorry, but I think you're naive, in the voting blocs these people know each other... "They" talk shop at industry events.Who is the "they" and "it" you're talking about? Do you think there's a board room of people who decided to give her their biggest award as a PR move? I highly doubt the majority of the 13,000 voting body held their nose and voted for Cowboy Carter. As others have said, it's more than deserving based on its artistic merits, even if it's not her strongest body of work.

In any case, I love Beyonce. I understand it's a controversial take but I stand by it.
