but Adele is right, Beyonce's Lemonade should have won Album of the Year. There is no way Adele's vanilla album tops an amazing social commentary like Lemonade.

The good part was Adele demonstrated how to be a good ally. so there was that

1. Havent listened to either but should. Adele was amazing in her speech though.

Beyonce is a living force, I wonder if we should send her to DC to beat the shit out of

3. especially since there is a history of white artists taking from black artists and not giving credit

Adele is able to recognize these things and say something about it. important since Beyonce gets a lot of attacks for speaking about things that are uncomfortable to some.

4. my wife, who is both white and a musician, is always railing about this

this is why she hates eric clapton SO MUCH.

i didn't know this was a thing, till i met her. (i'm not big into music)

5. yes, a lot of the music from Clapton and others in that time

that became popular were based on black american music. most of them never got the recognition or any money . they were ignored in the US because of racism while foreign white artists who used their music ended up making it big.

Clapton himself also has a history of making some anti immigrant comments . it's too bad since i do like his music.

Adele is a huge Beyonce fan but i liked it that she went beyond just general compliments and specifically acknowledged the politics of it.

6. yup, adele demonstrated how to be an ally, whereas grammys demonstrated what modern

and somewhat subtle racism looks like.
