We Saw What The Grammy’s Can Be When DEI Is Prioritized
Episode 1
Wednesday, 5 February, 2025
This week on Name 3 Songs… ⚡ Each year when the Grammy Awards roll around, we typically have an episode that critiques the award ceremony for being vastly out of touch with popular culture: Beyonce is snubbed for Album of the Year, BTS is used as a bait tool for viewership, Best New Artist doesn’t represent the talent at the present moment. The list goes on. This year, at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards it was *checks notes* a good time. So good, to the point that there were hardly any critiques for the Recording Academy this year. So how did they do it? We discuss the significance of the expanded voting committee (13,000 voting members) which includes 40% POC, and large numbers of younger voters and female members. We also get into some of our personal highlights, featuring Doechii, Raye, Chappell Roan,and Sabrina Carpenter. And then we get into the big cultural takeaways of the night – Beyonce winning Album of the Year and Best Country Album, Chappell Roan calling out record labels for the way they treat artists, Lady Gaga and others standing for trans rights, and more.
