Beyoncé leads the Grammy pack with nine nominations - The Mercury News

NEW YORK — Beyoncé is bringing her black parade to the Grammys: The pop star's anthem about Black pride scored multiple nominations Tuesday, making her the leading contender with nine.

Beyoncé picked up song and record of the year bids with "Black Parade," which she released on Juneteenth, the holiday that commemorates when the last enslaved African Americans learned they were free. The song, which reached the Top 40 on the pop charts, is also nominated for best R&B song and best R&B performance.

Beyoncé's "Black Is King" film that highlighted Black art, music, history and fashion is up for best music film while "Brown Skin Girl," a song dedicated to dark- and brown-skinned women, is nominated for best music video. The singer also earned three nominations for her slick guest appearance on Megan Thee Stallion's No. 1 hit "Savage," including record of the year, best rap performance and best rap song.

A winner of 24 Grammys, Beyoncé becomes the second-most nominated act in the history of the awards show with 79 nominations. She is tied with Paul McCartney, who earned a nomination this year for best boxed or special limited edition package.

Beyoncé is only behind her husband Jay-Z and Quincy Jones, who have both earned 80 nominations each. Jay-Z picked up three nominations this year for his contributions to Beyoncé's songs: He co-wrote "Black Parade" and "Savage," thus earning nominations for song of the year, best R&B song and best rap song. Jay-Z has won 22 Grammys throughout his career.

Beyoncé's domination this year came as a surprise since the singer did not release a new album. Other surprises, well snubs, include pop star the Weeknd being completely shut out and earning zero nominations despite having a No. 1 album, multiple hit singles and winning the coveted Super Bowl halftime performance slot. Luke Combs, who dominated the country charts and set records on streaming services this year, was also surprisingly shut out of nominations.

When Harvey Mason Jr., the Recording's interim president and CEO, was asked if he was surprised the Weeknd didn't earn a single nomination, he told The Associated Press: "You know, there's so many nominations and there's only so many slots, it's really tough to predict what the voters are going to vote for in any given year. I try not to be too surprised."

Instead, multiple nominations went to Taylor Swift, Dua Lipa and Roddy Ricch, who each earned six nominations and followed Beyoncé as the second-most nominated acts.

Lipa, who won two Grammys last year, earned bids for album of the year with "Future Nostalgia" as well as song and record of the year for her hit "Don't Start Now." Swift, whose last two albums didn't garner nominations for album of the year, is competing for the top prize with her surprise album "folklore." If she wins, she would become the first artist to win album of the year three times.

Other album of the year nominees include: Post Malone's multi-hit "Hollywood's Bleeding"; Coldplay's "Everyday Life," which featured world music sounds and politically-charged lyrics; HAIM's sophomore release "Women In Music Pt. III"; Jhené Aiko's atmospheric R&B project "Chilombo"; English musician Jacob Collier's multi-genre release "Djesse Vol. 3"; and the deluxe edition of Black Pumas' self-titled debut album.

Tracks competing with Beyoncé's "Black Parade" and "Savage" for record of the year include DaBaby and Ricch's "Rockstar," Malone's "Circles," Lipa's "Don't Start Now," Billie Eilish's "Everything I Wanted," Black Pumas' "Colors" and Doja Cat's "Say So." The latter track was produced by controversial music figure Dr. Luke, and he earns his first Grammy nominations since 2014, the year his former collaborator Kesha accused him of sexual assault. Dr. Luke, who used the moniker Tyson Trax on the credits for Doja Cat's song, has vigorously denied the allegations.

"Black Parade," "Don't Start Now," "Everything I Wanted" and "Circles" are also nominated for song of the year — a songwriter's award — along with Swift's "cardigan," Ricch's "The Box," JP Saxe and Julia Michaels' "If the World Was Ending" and H.E.R.'s "I Can't Breathe," her protest anthem addressing police brutality.

Several songs that emerged following the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery and Breonna Taylor were nominated for Grammys, including Lil Baby's "The Bigger Picture" (best rap song, best rap performance), Anderson .Paak's "Lockdown" (best melodic rap performance, best music video), Mickey Guyton's "Black Like Me" (best country solo performance) as well as Beyoncé's "Black Parade."

"I think it's meaningful. I think it's reflective of what's gone on in our world," Mason Jr. said of multiple protest songs earning nominations this year. "Musicians and artists and writers and producers, they write about what's going on in their lives. We tend to be fairly emotional people. When there's things happening, it's going to come out in our music and our art. It only makes sense that those types of songs would be nominated and celebrated by our voters. It really resonated with people. You listen to some of those songs and can't help but be moved."

Megan Thee Stallion, who released her highly anticipated debut album last week after finding success with hit singles and mixtapes since 2018, scored four nominations including best new artist. She will compete with rapper-singer Doja Cat, pop singer Noah Cyrus, country singer Ingrid Andress, multi-genre DJ-producer Kaytranada, rappers Chika and D Smoke, and indie rocker Phoebe Bridgers, who earned four nominations and helped female acts dominate in the rock categories.

Nominees for best rock performance and best rock song include Bridgers, Fiona Apple, HAIM, Grace Potter, Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes and Big Thief, led by Adrianne Lenker. Female performers also dominated in best country album, including Andress, Miranda Lambert, Brandy Clark and Ashley McBryde. The foursome Little Big Town, which features two female vocalists, round out the five nominees.

Howard, who released her first solo album "Jaime" last year, earned five nominations, including bids in R&B and American Roots categories. Eilish, DaBaby, John Beasley, David Frost and Justin Bieber — nominated for three pop awards and a country one for "10,000 Hours" with duo Dan + Shay — earned four nominations each.

K-pop kings BTS earned their first-ever Grammy nomination after years of having success on the pop charts. They will compete for best pop duo/group performance with their No. 1 hit, "Dynamite."

Other first-time nominees include the Strokes, Megan Thee Stallion, Michael Kiwanuka, Jay Electronica and Harry Styles, who became the first One Direction member to earn a Grammy nomination.

He's up for best pop vocal album with his second solo release "Fine Line," best pop solo performance for "Watermelon Sugar" and best music video for "Adore You."

Several acts earned posthumous nominations, including John Prine (best American Roots performance, best American Roots song), Nipsey Hussle (best rap performance), Leonard Cohen (best folk album) Pop Smoke (best rap performance) and songwriter LaShawn Daniels (best gospel performance/song).

And A-list entertainers hoping to reach EGOT status are getting a chance to earn their Grammy Award, including Renée Zellweger, who is nominated for best traditional pop vocal album for "Judy" — a performance that won her a second Academy Award — while Meryl Streep is nominated for best spoken world album for "Charlotte's Web." Streep's competition includes MSNBC's Rachel Maddow, journalist Ronan Farrow and "Jeopardy!" record-holder Ken Jennings, who is nominated for reading "Alex Trebek — The Answer Is…" Tiffany Haddish, Jerry Seinfeld, Patton Oswalt, Jim Gaffigan and Bill Burr are nominated for best comedy album.

Kanye West, who has won 21 Grammys, only scored a single nomination this year — for contemporary Christian music album for "Jesus Is King." Others who were snubbed include country performers the Chicks and Morgan Wallen, R&B singers Summer Walker, Teyana Taylor, Chris Brown and Brandy, and late rapper Juice WRLD.

Songs and albums released between Sept. 1, 2019 and Aug. 31, 2020 were eligible for nominations this year. Winners will be announced at the live show on Jan. 31.

Beyoncé sends Ivy Park X Adidas collection to Tia Mowry, fans wonder if Tamera missed it for backing Trump - MEAWW

Posted: 28 Nov 2020 07:39 PM PST

Beyoncé dropped her brand new Ivy Park X Adidas collection in October, and actress Tia Mowry was over the moon to receive a PR package from Queen B recently. Tia quickly made a TikTok video, showing off the collection. She also posted it on Instagram. In the video, dancing to Beyoncé's 'Already', Tia modeled one outfit after another. However, social media users quickly started speculating whether Tia's twin sister, Tamera Mowry, also received a package from the legendary artiste. And if not, is that because she is a supporter of President Donald Trump?

People in Beyoncé's fanbase, 'Beyhive', know that ever since the beginning of her career, Beyoncé has been a pioneer of women empowerment and she always raised her voice against injustices towards Black people. Her song 'Black Parade' from her musical 'Black is King' was an instant hit and gave momentum to the Black Lives Matter movement. So when Beyoncé decided to give Sister, Sister's Tamera Mowry the chop from receiving her special package over her political choices, fans were totally supportive.

"Beyoncé sending Tia Mowry an IvyPark box and not Tamera tells us all that we need to know," wrote a Twitter user. "I finally can tell Tia apart from Tamera y'all. Tamera says dumb s**t that comes from the corner of her a**. Tia just cackles hearty and gets Ivy Park boxes from Beyoncé," wrote another. "Well one thing is for sure: we KNOW what Tamera is teaching her child, who she voted for, and why Beyonce missed her with her Ivy Park gift box," wrote another fan.



 



 



 

Fans also speculated that Tamera might have voted for Trump for the 2020 presidential election and wondered how can a Black person vote for him. "I just saw a tweet with Tia confronting Tamera about her support for Trump. I will never understand black people voting for him. NEVER," wrote one twitter user. Another pointed out that even though Tia and Tamara are twins, they are drastically different from each other as they wrote, "Let's be honest Tia has always accepted being black more than Tamera and I never understood it like sis you're black like it's just a fact you can't just act like you're just white it don't work like that....anyway the black community doesn't accent Trump supporters cause wtf."



 



 


Stating that Tamera voted for Trump another twitter user said, "For off Tamera & her racist husband share the same views and she already alluded to voting for Trump in her Essence interview... it's NO secret why she's called "Tamaga" y'all are super lateeee!" Another user tweeted a snippet of a video where Tamera can be seen saying, "I support our president, whoever that is." "remember when tia ate tamera up for supporting trump," wrote the user along with the video. "Tamera and her husband are Trump sycophants! What tf are you talking about? They said that Trayvon Martin's murderer was justified in his actions, I'm sure they agree with giving more funds to police. They are sick!" wrote another user.

Beyoncé's best albums: what to listen to | Culture | The Sunday Times - The Times

Posted: 22 Nov 2020 12:00 AM PST

As daft as it may seem to offer a listening guide to one of the most famous pop stars on the planet, there are, in truth, a lot of people who know the name Beyoncé Knowles, but can barely whistle a tune of hers. That is, of course, how music tends to work — the older we get, the less new stuff we listen to — but Beyoncé is to pop culture what Elizabeth II is to the United Kingdom: the undisputed queen. She demands to have your attention.

Her longtime fans will probably disagree with this curation of her work, but that's what comes from having such a wide-ranging career, which started in 1997 with the group Destiny's Child before their standout star had
