ScreenshotIf I were a rational human being, I would stop watching awards shows altogether because the the overwhelming superficiality generally fills me with an uninhibited rage. However, the Grammys are my biggest annoyance, especially this year.
Let’s pretend for a moment that the Grammys are nothing more than a huge concert with all the biggest hits of the year (which it basically is). With the biggest concert of the year featuring literally everyone, it’s time to pour a ton of money into the best shows of the year. Instead, we got a sad production that had too many ballads and too many dad bands mashed up with new faces.
The entire show was bland and unimaginative. Next year, add in some more exciting performers to get us dancing at home.
Flop Culture is a semi-regular feature in which Gateway pop culture pundits shake their literary fists at ridiculously showy events that try too hard to point out a problem with domestic violence. Looking at you, Chris Brown and R Kelly grammy noms.
