"Your hat might fall sometimes but keep your head high and keep going" 💗🫶
Vmin has to happen because they are soulmates. They already have a strong bond and an untouchable friendship. Not to mention how good and happy they look together.
And if those reasons were not enough, Vmin should be the only true pairing so that Kookie would stay out of a shippping world where he's been pulled in 2 different directions for the longest time. It is extremely exhausting to see that happen constantly to my bias and how..!
Long story short, i'll support Vmin because everybody wins 💞
If Jungkook and Jin don't show up to the Grammys showing us all kinds of foreheads, then what's the point.
Show me their hairstylist pls, i just wanna talk, i swear:
You see across social media the difference in how Chappel Roan is praised for "starting a movement" by bringing up healthcare in terms of her own benefit, but Kendrick Lamar, with an entire discography on social issues and bringing attention to stuff going on in the world to those less financially sound than him gets reduced to the "Not Like Us" craze, because it's a single feeding into the rap battle culture and it "annihilates" Drake.
taylor swift on friday releasing rep (tv) at the grammys (im delulu)
So what if I told yall something might be coming out tonight
I know some of us are very frustrated right now, but i’ll say this.
At least we ain’t drake.
i take back everything i said. I had a gut feeling she’d end up winning. I don’t mind beyoncé, but i just don’t think it was that deserved? Don’t get me wrong, she’s been robbed before, countless times. I just didn’t see that being her best work. As for Billie’s album, it was amazing. And nothing? Oh cmon, 13,000 people. The lyrics, engineering, the discography, all heavenly. Cowboy Carter was a bold move by Beyoncé really, and as a country kid, i tip my hat to her change, didn’t mind it. I thought she deserved country album of the year tbh. Lainey, Kacey and Chris’s albums weren’t that catchy to me. But what we need to look at is the history of the grammys. It may have a part. Women of color honestly do not get the attention they deserve for album of the year. They have been long overdue. I mean last year, i thought it was SZA’s. (sorry swifties.) It was a solid album. But why has it taken so long? Now looking back, the last time a black female artist won album of the year was none other than….
Ms Lauryn Hill. For the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill.
Now, what made it so special? Well friends, what she made was extraordinary (would recommend it a listen.) That album was enough to make grown men cry. It was all perfectly planned out, all of it. The beats, flow, lyrics, the whole damn album was an engineered masterpiece. But what made it catch the eyes of the committee? The impact it had on society. I’d say it inspired women (especially those of color) to wear their hair natural, have self love, embrace motherhood, and have truth. It redefined hip-hop and r&b. Shortening it, it did a hell of a lot outside of music.
That’s the reason i feel the committee awarded it to Beyoncé. The Impact. I do have two questions…
Did we really feel the impact of this album?
Did this meet the standards that Miseducation made?
Now it’s not right to compare these i know. But when you are giving it for impact, well, that’s when you can compare. I mean, it was a cool idea, bringing black people back into country music. Country music should be for everyone. Historically, we had black cowboys. The beats for some of her songs were good. I just didn’t feel this album, as opposed to her other ones. To me it sounded like the songs were out of order. It would switch from country twang to beats of hip hop and r&b. It felt out of place to me. But the 13,000 committee members must’ve thought it was good enough, to award such a high award to her.
But i’m just a dumb music enjoyer,
so what would i know?
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
so i listened to all the nominees for album of the year, and um, it could honestly go to anyone. this could be a jon baptiste 2.0 moment if you know what I mean. so be prepared everyone, it’s gonna be quite the ride.

NEW TAYLOR SWIFT ALBUM OMG???? FOR TWO YEARS???? I GAGGED???
Music Shoutout: Bernhoft
Bernhoft or Bern/hoft, sometimes also known by his full name Jarle Bernhoft, is a singer and musician from Norway. He's pretty well-known in his home country and part of Europe, but trust me when I say he really should be worldwide famous. With unique musical sensibilities that is drenched in soul and funk, he's the grooviest white man you'll ever meet and you know it.
If you listen to his recorded songs and albums and think, "Eeeeeh, this guy is pretty good, I guess," wait until you see his live performances. With the help of loop machine, he plays all the instruments himself and magically always sound like he has a full band with him. (Basically, for the Orphan Black crowd, he's virtually the Tatiana Maslany of music ;) ) Honestly, it'd be a gimmick if he weren't so good at it, but he somehow makes it all seem so naturally easy.
He already had 3 irresistible solo albums: Ceramik City Chronicles, Solidarity Breaks (buy), and most recently Islander (buy). Each of them had somewhat different vibes, but equally good. Being a well-rounded musician that he is, of course, the "gimmick" isn't all that he is. If you're interested, he also published live performances that he did with orchestral companion (with album Walk With Me (buy)), and also with actual band (in the double CD, 1:Man 2:Band). All of that showed that yes, there is nothing that he could not do. Oh, and he was also nominated for the Grammy Awards for his album Islander, so there’s that.
So, check him out already!

johnny restivo 'the shape i'm in' autograph, pen on index card (via ebay purchase)
in 1959 johnny [restivo] was discovered by joe mulhall and paul neff and on june 9th of that year at 15 years old, he recorded "the shape i'm in" and "ya, ya" at rca with paul simon (aka jerry landis) playing the guitar together with bucky pizzarelli and mundell lowe. it reached #80 on the billboard hot 100. restivo was nominated for a grammy award for best new artist, but lost to bobby darin. restivo never charted another hit. johnny also achieved fame as a muscular young bodybuilder while in his teens. he was on the covers of tomorrow's man and model parade. (via boppin' bob, 'FROM THE VAULTS')
I love Taylor Swift's music, but I need to say this.
Midnights DID NOT deserve AOTY.
I haven't even heard the other nominated albums but the first time I listened to Midnights I knew it wasn't AOTY material. Just compare it with her other AOTY wins and you'll know what I'm talking about. Like there was nothing new or revolutionary about the album itself music wise.....it broke a lot of records and had good marketing and everything but the songs and production and lyricism itself were subpar compared to Swift's other albums even non-Grammy ones. How she got nominated in that category let alone won is beyond me...for I'm sure there were other deserving albums out there .......Midnights just wasn't it
just realized this weird face is there now. yay
I know brat summer is over but I'm still living that life, oh well
