Grammy's (a long post)
So, I watched the Grammy's that I had taped last night. Did anyone else watch it? What did you think of it?
Here is my thoughts of it. As seeing that I had stopped watching the Grammy's due to many of the singers I grew up listening too either died or stopped singing, I have no reason to watch it anymore. Which is pretty much the same reason why I stopped listening to country music and stopped watching the country music awards. The old artists are no longer on there, and it's all about the "new" music. Out the with "old" and in with the "new". I never cared for the new country music anyway.
Sorry, I'm getting off track. Anyway, the Grammy's were okay. A little boring though until it got to Lil Naz X. I know I'm going to get flack for this, but it's my opinion. Lil Naz X will never be a country singer. You can dress him up to look like a country singer and have a song with a twang, he'll never be country. If rap graces a country song, it is NOT a country song. Rap has never been in a country song and it doesn't belong in one. Call me old school, but I grew up with the country greats and they were awesome. Rap in a country song kills the vibe. The only reason why everyone considers "Old Town Road" to be country is because it has horses, tractors in it. But, that doesn't mean anything.
In the olden days, country songs sung about trains, prison, bars, pick-up trucks, dogs, barfights, cheating on someone and sad songs. Nowadays, those things are replaced with love songs. Even traditional Christmas songs seem to have rap in them now, which just screws up the whole song.
I've been hearing "Old Town Road" everywhere I go, but it doesn't phase me. I'm not into it and never will be. I've heard RM's version and it's nice, but again, it's a song that I'll never put on my playlist whether it's sung in American or Korean.
Again, if you like the song and Lil Naz X, that's fine. But, I'm just saying that he would do better singing rap instead of trying to act like he's country.
Oh, and I also have to add that when BTS came on, I didn't see them as backup dancers, but man I could not hear RM or any of the BTS members. The music was WAY too loud. So, that was VERY disappointing.
So, again with my question, if you watched the Grammy's what did you think of the award show? What did you think of Lil Naz X and BTS on the same stage?
Raven.
