The Grammys - Record of The Year

[MightyAphrodite]

taste?

possibly

 

[Termite Man]

these days dont have brilliant artists like Amy (cos shes like Prince, and generational).

you muppet . Amy is not generational . She has just gone shit

 

[Termite Man]

Camille is current and much much much better than Amy Crackhouse and anything she's ever done or ever could do even if she wasnt' such a mess.

And Beck is nothing like Bjork, that doesn't make any sense at all

Cheesy has no fucking clue about anything . She thinks saying things makes her look clever !

 

[Cheesypoof]

you muppet . Amy is not generational . She has just gone shit

you only get someone that good every 25 years is what it means.

 

[El Jefe]

you muppet . Amy is not generational . She has just gone shit

how can you know that though? Through all her troubles, she hasn't actually released anything substantial since Back To Black.

 

[Termite Man]

You mean someone so mediocre as amy only comes along every 25 years . Well fuck me isn't that lucky then .

at least you got the name of the album right ( and I was incorrect to say she had gone shit , she has always been shit* )






*by shit I mean I don't like her music

 

[El Jefe]

( and I was incorrect to say she had gone shit , she has always been shit* )

Well it's not my fault if you can't type what you mean

 

[foo]

yeh, i like M.I.A out of that lot.

what did she do before...? i keep thinking of something else..

her first album was Arular, had Galang and Sunshowers on it.

have to say, i haven't noticed amy winehouse, beck or bjork in the nominations. remind me why they're being discussed on this thread again?

 

[Cheesypoof]

well if you think amy winehouse is mediocre thats bonkers, IMO.

that did confuse me a little too.

 

[foo]

stoopid me.

this is what i was thinking of. Sia. not MIA.




i used to like that one too

if Amy sorts herself out, i reckon she could come up with absolutely anything, and surprise everyone.....or she could just end up in the bin.

 

[Cheesypoof]

the reason those other artists were mentioned (at 5am last night, oops!) is cos they are previous winners, and this years nominations show how much the standard has gone down, IMO. And Adele IS shit! shes boring.

 

[foo]

..means nothing to me - l'll check them out, thanks.

 

[danny la rouge]

Anyway, back to the thread: I'd pick none of those.

 

[Termite Man]

I know this is a stupid question but what is the difference between Record of the Year and Album of the Year ?

 

[foo]

record means single i presume..

Ok, that makes sense.

I was just looking at the nominees list just now and it has gone terribly downhill.

loads of crap this year (other than the bluegrass people etc ...even that , as amazing as they are, its still the same people who always get nominated and win...nothing new whatsoever...)

 

[MightyAphrodite]

I know this is a stupid question but what is the difference between Record of the Year and Album of the Year ?

record means single i presume..

yep.

record - 1 song

album - well you know

 

[Cheesypoof]

is leona lewis's album any good?

 

[5t3IIa]

yep.

record - 1 song

album - well you know

There is a Song of the Year too!

 

[foo]

god knows. i wouldn't waste time finding out tbh, she's not my kind of singer at all.

 

[purplex]

Adele IS shit! shes boring.

Ooh, get you.

 

[isitme]

sorry i'm just gonna pop in again and repeat that i think amy winehouse is a load of overrated toss

all her songs sound like covers to me and she's only made about 2 albums

she's a long way from genius, i reckon Lily Allen will have a better career than her, it's insulting to compare her to Bjork or Prince or someone original

 

[5t3IIa]

is leona lewis's album any good?

She's thin and pretty so it's bound to be.

 

[Termite Man]

There is a Song of the Year too!

Thats what really threw me . Record means a single and song can just mean any song thats released even if it's only released as part of an album

 

[foo]

She's thin and pretty so it's bound to be.

you asked for that one cheesy. straight in the eye!

Wiki says this about the different categories

Record of the Year is not to be confused with Song of the Year or Album of the Year:

• Record of the Year is awarded for a single or for one track from an album. This award goes to the performing artist, the producer, recording engineer, and/or mixer for that song. In this sense, "record" means a recording of one song, not the composition or an album of songs. Often, the nominees and winners of this song represent the most successful songs of the year.
• Song of the Year is also awarded for a single or individual track, but the recipient of this award is the songwriter who actually created the song in the first place. Thus, "song" in this context means the song as written, not its recording.
• Album of the Year is awarded for a whole album, and the award is presented to the artist, producer, recording engineer, and mastering engineer for that album. So, in this context, "album" means a recorded collection of songs (a multi-track LP, CD, or download package), not the individual songs or their compositions.
