Adele cleared the top honors by sweeping all big three nominations at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards. The singer had five total awards, and she spotted the"album of the year for "25." Many were aggravated that the Grammys was enthusiastically going racist.
Many people on social media complained, with the #GrammysSoWhite. Many questioned the result was with racial themes and imagery, as per CNN. Some claimed that the project was "just too black" for Grammy voters. The #GrammysSoWhite went viral on Twitter.
The author Kevin Powell told CNN that Beyonce's album made more people uncomfortable. The "Lemonade" talks about politics and unapologetically black. It is also "so spiritual" and too loud for self-love and betrayal.
On the other hand, Beyonce won the Best Urban Contemporary album for "Lemonade" and the best music video for "Formation." Powell added that many fans do not want to deal with the straight truth. Compared to Adele's album, the songs were about love and heartbreak. The album "25" is safe and uncontroversial.
According to New York Times, Adele and Beyonce were both nominated for record of the year, the album of the year and song of the year. Thus, Adele swept all three. It was revealed that Beyonce has devoted to her music and she has won 22 times, yet only four of those have been in all-genre categories.
The Grammys is an event that the biggest stars in music get together to perform and walk the red carpet. Each star aims to have an armload of golden gramophone statuettes.
The other winners during the night event are Chance The Rapper as the Best New Artist, Drake for "Hotline Bling" as the Best Rap Song, and Dystopia as the Best Metal Performance. Blackstar has golden awards for the Best Rock Song and Best Alternative Music Album.
