The 68th Grammy Awards were NOT a celebration of progress—they were a STAGED SHAM. Beneath the veneer of “diversity,” the ceremony proved the music industry is DEAD, clinging to ghosts while IGNORING true innovation. An award show celebrating “history-making” moments was, in truth, a DIRTY PACT with the past.
Bad Bunny’s win for the first Spanish-language Album of the Year? A CALCULATED PLOY by the Academy to appear inclusive, rewarding him only after he abandoned his groundbreaking sound for a “primo Grammy bait” folk tribute. Kendrick Lamar’s record-breaking win was built on a SAMPLE of a 1982 Luther Vandross track—a BLATANT admission that modern hip-hop can’t stand on its own. Even his acceptance speech was BOUND by a promise NOT to curse, a SHACKLING of artistic expression to appease the estates of the dead.
Billie Eilish’s third Song of the Year win for a tender ballad was a SAFE, BORING choice, a “failure of imagination” that snubbed the explosive future represented by K-pop. The “historic” night was a FRAUD. Artists were forced to play by the OLD RULES, genuflecting to tradition to win the industry’s highest honors. When winners like Bad Bunny and Olivia Dean took the stage to speak on urgent political issues, it felt like a DESPERATE attempt to inject SOUL into a corpse.
Justin Bieber’s nearly-naked performance was a cry for help from a man broken by celebrity, the most honest moment in a night of engineered nostalgia. The truth is now unveiled: the Grammys are a museum, not a stage. They don’t crown the future; they MUMMIFY it. The music industry’s biggest night has officially become its most TRANSPARENT LIE.
