The talkshow host Wendy Williams has weighed in on Beyonce and Adele‘s forthcoming battle to dominate next year’s Grammy awards.

As their fans with foresight will already know, the Sony forces released their latest albums within the same eligibility period which will force them to compete in a number of categories when nominations are announced later on this year.

Of course, fans of Beyonce are hoping her latest set ‘Lemonade’ will outperform Adele’s ’25’ on the night?

Will it?

Watch Wendy weigh in below…


Who do you think will come out on top?

    Two great women, they both deserve to win. I’m tired of all the putting women against each other. I think it is so stupid. Both talented.

    • wrosy3 May 23, 2016

      I feel the billboard award is a precursor to who is going to win big at the grammies weekend and adele I don’t remember a black woman winning a Grammy for pop that category always goes to adele or anyone white they stick bey and rih in R&B I think rih more pop and next year grammies they probably nominate rih so she shows up when we know it’s going to the weekend in the R&B category we know behind the scenes they already saying to each other Beyonce got too much let’s make it adele year my theory is the people will want adele to catch up to beys Grammy wins adele have 10 to bey 17 in one night she can do it that’s is crazy but yall know how rigged the grammies can be at times

    Adele’s album was bland and so f****** forgettable. She doesn’t deserve AOTY.

    Lemonade better get album of the year cause that was a masterpiece!

  7. 2bad2bme May 23, 2016

    Adele have moments when she performs. Beyonce is an ALWAYS when it comes to a show. Adele’s album was sleepy but Beyonce’s was colorful and explored different genres. I think we know who deserves to win!

    • wrosy3 May 23, 2016

      Both are different artist adele is very talented with writing her own songs she does not need all this props she can stand there and sing like a barbara Streisand some people like the jumping around on stage not everyone into that so do not belittle adele she is great Aretha did not need props Whitney Mariah

  8. Mother May 23, 2016

    Neither of them deserve AOTY tbh.

  9. Anne May 23, 2016

    Don’t know why I wasted my time on that but decided to at least give Wendy a chance to have a legitimate opinion. Could she at least listen to the albums and give her thoughts on the MUSIC before weighing in on who should and/or will win?

  10. IG : @mixedboy May 23, 2016

    ANTI is better than both albums!

    • Navy Gravy May 23, 2016

      ‘Work’ for SOTY AND rap, sung duo or group. This IS Rihannas most R&B influenced cd IMO. So R&B album she could take it. but I think Drake should be a nominee for AOTY. This was Beyonces simplest, laziest cd. she could win again for surround sound album though.

  11. nico May 23, 2016

    Number one beyonce hater

  12. Sherrele May 23, 2016

    That is sad that people are so hateful in this world, where their putting headings RIP up on social media for this woman to die. The world we live in today is just terrible and ashamed. I don’t blame David for blocking accounts. No one should not do that. It’s not the world, it’s the people in the world that is crazy.

    • RihNavy May 23, 2016

      Something we can agree on

  15. Rome May 23, 2016

    Even though beyonce is a beautiful talented woman, Adele deserves to win. The amount of albums she sold in this day and age is nothing short of amazing. Beyonce released a HBO special, performed at the super bowl and her name stayed in headlines and she still couldn’t pull off Adele numbers. All Adele did was released a traditional single and boom. Soo is it really a competition?

    • Cough Cough May 23, 2016

      You must be like 5 years old. To think you think a Grammy is awarded because of numbers is tragic. GRAMMYS is about the music: it’s quality, content, innovation and everything else except how many units it shifted. Duh

      • JOHNVIDAL May 23, 2016

        That was true in the past. Now look what they have done: Taylor Swift has TWO AOTY awards. Appalling. But yeah they should be about quality.

    • therealist May 23, 2016

      adele doesnt deserve to win at all because her album was promoted. even tho beyonce had an hbo special her was not promoted at all. it became available after the special exclusively, and only on tidal at the moment and her number was still great. adele promoted her album and alot of people preordered before the actual album due date. smh, so she was suppose to do great numbers. The only song that stood out on 25 is hello, and that was okay to me.

    • wrosy3 May 23, 2016

      I listen adele album it’s very good like a story in a diary adele appeals to everyone woman and child she comes across as real no pretense I hear little girls listening to her music and my problem is people are sleeping on anti which the whole album is amazing every song not like some albums you pick 1 and 2 bypass the rest rih will get her due one day last night she prove her critics

  16. BeyKnowlesBest May 23, 2016

    Adele has no versatility she bland, Even Whitney had versatility without being oversexual…So the winner is Beyonce!

  17. Minajesty May 23, 2016

    Lol this post is a mess. Why is David only banning the trolls now?

  18. HailBeysus May 23, 2016

    Kiii!!! I can’t at Anti being completely MUTE from everyone’s Grammy Talk SEVERAL MONTHS before the grammys even take place HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

  19. Anne May 23, 2016

    As much as I want Beyoncé to win and think she deserves it, I have to admit that I’m expecting a disappointment. Assuming Bey and Adele are nominated, Radiohead will probably be nominated along with them and it will be their 4th AOTY nomination so it just might be their time to finally win. On the other hand, Adele seems to be the “chosen one” of the industry and I am not sure if I can see Beyoncé beating her no matter how much she deserves it. It also depends on who the fourth nominee will be and whether that person splits the votes. In other words Beyoncé has huge obstacles standing in her way. If the final act is even part urban that will decrease her chances even moreso. She does have factors in her favor though, such as her album being so diverse, so highly critically acclaimed, the fact that it would be her 3rd nomination for AOTY, the fact that her album is politically charged and makes so many profound statements, and just the fact that it’s her best work to date. So maybe she’ll pull it off, we’ll see.

    • Minajesty May 23, 2016

      You have a point. Bey could win if they nominate Bowie that would atleast help split the rock votes. Or atleast throw in two Country acts or another pop act just to even the playing field.

      • Anne May 23, 2016

        @Minajesty.. I agree, I hope it will be a non urban act because I have not heard anything from the urban community that could be a serious contender over Lemonade and they would only split the vote causing neither to win and give the Academy an excuse to rob Beyoncé.

    • Anne May 23, 2016

      One more thought, if Beyoncé wants to win she needs to promote hee strongest singles this time. Songs like Freedom, Daddy’s Lessons, Don’t Hurt Yourself, and Sandcastles are highlights of the album and should be heard by the masses. I don’t think she can just assume that enough people will listen to her album in its entirety if she doesn’t push certain singles. Daddy’s Lessons is a number one song with right push because it’s so diverse and the others will also garner even more acclaim for the album. I hope she focuses on her singles this time. She will have to cover all of her bases if she wants to stand a chance.

  20. Theman May 23, 2016

    Adele’s album is amazing. She has a classic sound to her music. Beyonce’s album is more experimental than her others. But Adele’s music is very sophisticated. Adele!! Wendy’s reasoning was stupid though lol..

  21. Queen Annalise Keating Stan May 23, 2016

    Kudos to Tgj for taking a stand against the classless commenters who make fun of the deceased. I don’t believe Annalise makes fun of Aaliyah so Rihnavy shouldn’t try to act as though they’re on the same team. Also, you must be obsessed with David if you’re following him on IG but claim to hate him and LIE by saying that he is ugly. He isn’t.

      Girl you stan for flops, so your opinion is invalid.

  24. Jamon May 23, 2016

    It’s only May. They are plenty of albums coming out. Alicia Keys has always been a strong Grammy contender. If she comes out with another Diary of Alicia Keys, As I Am, or Songs in a Minor, she will be a strong conteneder. I would wait until around November to start the predictions.

    • SMH May 23, 2016

      Exactly, because truth of the matter is that they both could end up getting snubbed.

  25. ? May 23, 2016

    ✈??

  26. SMH May 23, 2016

    Beyonce fans are truly fooling themselves if they think that mess will win AOTY over Adele. Just like they fooled themselves last year when Beck snatched AOTY over her last album.

  27. DIABETIC STROKE May 23, 2016

    IDC THE FORMATION TOUR will end this year as the highest grossing tour of the year, highest grossing by a black artist and possibly highest grossing by a female artist and top 5 by a solo act.poor Canti has been SLAVING up a STORM all year. Frih has been sweating like a BULLET on stage every night looking TERRIBLE. With like 80 shows she will burn out heavy! Poor Rihsceduled will be completly out of stem by R9 and im here for it.

  28. DIABETIC STROKE May 23, 2016

    Poor anti sold Tour will probably gross only $85 million at best which would be great 10 years ago but pathetic stats now. Tickets are dirt cheap still hasnt soldout each stop. Beys show cost like $200 more on avg of 75-85k seats and still 4 soldout shows in a row. Lemonade & Formation tour sold in 4 days & out grossed in 4 days Anti & Anti tour respectfully. Lol wheres all the talk about anti being nominated for Aoty. Could it be becuz Anti sounds & feels more like a MIXTAPE than album or is it just the AVG reviews.

  29. JOHNVIDAL May 23, 2016

    Beyonce didn´t win big at the grammys with “Beyonce”, so I doubt she will with “Lemonade” since the strategy is not new now and overall Beyonce sold more and caused a bigger impact (no shade at all, she is doing great now). Now the Adele thing is more interesting in the sense that I don´t know what they will do. Will they reward her BIG time again just cause she is simply the f****** queen of music industry and the only one to have real sales in a way we had not seen since the new millenium started? The first tiome with “21” it was deserved in many ways. I mean I don´t think it was the best album ever. But at least 3 of the songs were such quality and commercial appeal at heh same time, true classics for pop music already. And what she did and sales and all, it was understandable. But a second time… I don´t know. “Hello” is not a f****** amazing song or anything. It´s a good album overall but I wouldn´t give her more important ones for this album. Although if the appalling fact that they have given Taylor Swift two AOTY awards by now has taken place, then we could definitely see that for Adele, a way better and more respected artist than Taylor.

  30. Jackson 5 Nostrils (Tyler) May 23, 2016

    it would be a CLEAR snub to Beyoncé if 25 won because Lemonade is the 2nd most critically acclaimed female album of all time. The Grammys are about quality, Lemonade has a full 20 points over 25 on Metacritic. Not to mention Beyoncé could sing Adele under SEVERAL tables

    • JOHNVIDAL May 23, 2016

      There are diffrent circuits. Metacritic is not all that matters. If in films we only took into account Rotten Tomatoes and its ridiculous system then the generic Marvel flicks would be deserving oscars for best picture and screenplay 🙂 I´m just saying having that great score in Metacritic is not the ultimate truth, especially not when we are talking about specific circuits, in this case teh grammy cometee.

  31. Jesssica May 23, 2016

    Beyonces album is WAY better than Adeles and deserves to win in terms of music quality and it has the critical acclaim to back it up. Adele has the sales but I’m sorry her music is bland and predictable.

    • Ayyseify May 23, 2016

      Not to them crusty ass old white guys handing them awards. They will give it to Adele I’m not trying to shade Beyoncé at all tho I have in the past lol. I actually like both 25 and lemonade, purchased both. They will down play Beyoncé and give her like some b******* rnb Grammy I bet. But then also the return of artist this year like Justin timberlake, Alicia keys and fergie to name a few maybe both be snubbed

  32. Chillitsjustpizza May 23, 2016

    After all these years she never got her hips in ass done.kii

  33. King Mark111 /.\ May 23, 2016

    Doesn’t mater, Anti will take home AOTY next year anyway.

  34. WTH May 23, 2016

    I love Lemonade and 25 but let’s be real here, the Grammys will give it to Adele. Beyonce will win all of the urban categories, Adele will win the pop and Adele will take home the big one. The voters at the Grammys love both women but ***we know how they vote.

  35. Theman May 23, 2016

    Adele’s album is better. Beyonce has a few different sounding songs on her album. But Adele’s music has an air of class to it. “Hello” is a great song. But she has so many amazing songs on her album. It is a stellar album. “Hello” is way better in terms of quality then “Formation”. “WWWY” is far more sophisticated than “Sorry”. Quality wise Adele >. A lot of people kiss Beyonce’s a**. Outside of the visual video, her album is good. But that’s all. There’s also David, Rihanna, RADIOHEAD, ect.. So…. Heck Justin B. might even get a nod for the success of his album. Then there is this underdog called James Bay. Alicia, Pink & the other Justin might come through too.. Drake may also be the urban artist too to fill that last nod.

  36. Reddish tran ivy blokz Need UK timely May 24, 2016

    This is from last week Friday and adele had won her award

  37. Thando May 24, 2016

    Laughable that all Beyonce fans think Adele’s album was bad. Also laughable that they think that all those 19 million people who bought 25 are white people only. The truth is Beyonce fans are completely unsettled about the existence of a solo female artist who out trumps their so-called queen in writing, sales, charts, musical “quality” and single’s impact. All Adele did was the traditional: single and then drop album. The good thing about Adele is, whether you like it or not, her music speaks for itself NOT her videos.
    People saying”she can’t win cause she promoted the album” are plain idiotic, off course she promoted the album. Just like Beyonce did with Superbowl & the HBO thing(which not a lot of people bothered to watch 700 000 people is not good let’s be honest). You’re not going to win a grammy AOTY because of your album roll out method (the “surprise” drop). That’s just absurd. You’ll win on quality(whatever that is) as judged by your peers, not fans, your peers. Adele isn’t successful because she’s white, if that were true “19” would’ve been more successful than 21. Her music simply speaks to a greater demographic of people. No amount of crazed fandom will make that untrue. These are the obstacles you come up against when you COMPARE art. The Grammy voters will judge the music, not the “visual”(that’s for other awards shows). Based on music, I think Lemonade is better than 25. Its still May and it sounds like Alicia Keys might also have a VERY good album coming (she also doesn’t have AOTY and her music has always been “better” than Beyonce’s without even trying). Then there’s the versatility question that B fans always raise about Adele. That’s just hypocritical nonsense because Beyonce hasn’t done anything other than RnB/hip-hop/PoP since she went solo. We know her as a dancer/singer, that’s what she’s still doing. Granted she does a raggea/soul/rock song here and there but since ’03 she’s been doing the same genre. Since DIL till now she’s used the same method: scout songs, record rnb/pop/urban, select, release album. The ONLY way Beyonce has gotten “versatile” musically is that she sounds more POP and less RnB with each successive album nothing more. The visual album(making tons of music videos for album tracks) thing is not new to those who’ve followed Beyonce’s career, she’s been doing it since B-Day even her father said the same thing and I suspect it was his idea. Either way whoever is nominated, 25 Lemonade and Alicia Key’s album must be there.
