SWV Singer LeLee Lyons Wades Into Grammy Debate


This week Jay Z sparked a debate about the relevance of Grammy Awards afer calling out the Recording Academy for snubbing Beyoncé for Album of the Year, while accepting his Dr Dre Global Impact Grammy [click here if you missed that].

LeLee Lyons from SWV enters the chat, having gone 30 years without winning...

The Grammys today have changed so much over the years. There are so many more categories & opportunities to snag one now. This is why artists like Whitney, who were super successful at the time, have so few in comparison to today & I am still shocked that En Vogue has never won one.

This is really getting aggravating. You’ve gone 30 years now go 30 more because clearly the Grammys is not based on number ones there is a committee. I’m confused as to why these people try to act like they don’t know how the process works with the Grammys and the Oscars Now was really like getting out of hand. At this point. It sounds more like trying to harass and bully people into just giving you something you wasn’t picked . And I like SWV and their songs, but come on,

That’s the problem there, the committee needs to be revamped to people of all cultures that listen to full body of work and not the bubble gum mess that is heard from these bubble gum artists that really don’t have talent. Adele said it best a few years ago when lemonade was nominated, and Taylor said it best when Beyoncé attended her movie. Jay z spoke nothing but the truth, get it right Grammys

I would not care about an award, as long as I'm making money, they have a solid fan base, are talented and hopefully are all financially wealthy, and have solid investments. "Music" today is trash and the industry plants are supported to promote an agenda of filth, to the younger generation. Your talent speaks for itself, eff these empty awards.

Jeffrey Osborne, Diana Ross and even Snoop does not have any Grammys. That award show is nothing more than a popularity contest. It's high school all over and the one with the most visibility and social charm gets the awards. You gotta ask for it and then flutter around all the parties telling everyone you know that you want a Grammy.

Errybody don't get errything. Awards don't happen because you showed up.

If it were based off sales, there would be more people with Grammy awards… it’s based off the body of work!! Everything can’t be about Beyoncé… Jennifer Hudson, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Christina Aguilera, Fantasia, Patti LaBelle, come on people!

I agree

Beyoncé has the most Grammys because she consistently put out good music. But maybe, just maybe, her albums just weren’t the best album of that year.

I cringe every time I see that Yt gurl Billie Eilish and if she sings I turn the station. Her songs sound like you want to cut your wrist. There is little to know talent that's being signed. It's all signed, sealed and delivered from likes on social media. So much for good taste.

Y'all didn't suck the no D to get your awards or pay folks off. Just jokes.
