When will this foolishness stop.

In scenes reminiscent of Mean Girls, Adele broke her Grammy for Album of the Year in half on stage at the award ceremony on Sunday night, a happy accident as she declared it truly belongs to Beyoncé. Adele, who also won the Song of the Year award, explained at length how she felt Lemonade was a more deserving winner than her own 25. "I can't possibly accept this award," she said during her acceptance speech. "The Lemonade album was just so monumental, Beyoncé. It was so monumental and well thought-out and beautiful and soul-bearing... we appreciate that. All of us artists here adore you. You are our light."

And the way that you make me and my friends feel, the way you make my black friends feel, is empowering. And you make them stand up for themselves. And I love you. I always have and I always will. Grammys, I appreciate it. The academy, I love you. My manager, my husband and my son. You’re the only reason I do it. Thank you so much. Thank you very much to everybody.

Yes. Singing about Becky with the good hair is just insurmountable greatness.

Artist thought another artist should have gotten an award. I think you immediately jumped to black/white privilege shite too soon because of an agenda. Unless she said something about their races, I too think Beyoncé should have won that award, lemonade was brilliant. But not because she's black.

You should read the entire transcript or watch the video before commenting. It was clearly an "I won because I'm white and you should have won, but you are black" speech.

Art is subjective. You write and sing about shite you know. Beyoncé is extremely talented. So is Adele. Adele thought Beyoncé should have won. Y'all would have been up in arms is Beyoncé would have actually won the award too, so it's really pointless.

I wouldn't have been up in arms because I don't give a rats arse about the Grammys. I just think Adelle's stupid grovelling is, well, stupid.

Please. Even Ray Charles could see this.

Why? The only reason I would have been upset is if a black Beyonce won, took the stage and started to trash whitey. As far as who wins a subjective artistic talent contest, few people "out here" really care.

Do you think Adelle would have given a similar speech if some chubby British gal had written Lemonade?

Maybe they gave her the award because she's a blimp? Can't make fun of tubby people. That's bullying. Got to send a message to fat shamers.

I didn't watch and feel good about it.

At least Adele has talent. Beyoncé screeching mindless drivel doesn't do anything for me.
Posted on 2/13/17 at 6:16 am to Revelator
Who did Adele apologize to for being fat? Surely there are some fried foods and chocolate bars out there somewhere that she needs to thank.

Hoorah for us.
I generally hate purposeful ignorance - but my ignorance of all things relating to pop culture is a never ending source of contentment and pride for me.
