“She deserves it way more than I do. I’d be embarrassed if I got it over her. If I got it, I’d give it to her.”
Sam Smith had that to say on Beyonce recently, revealing that he intends to hand her a Grammy award if he beats her to win one at next month’s ceremony.
He announced his plans during a tell-all interview with ‘Rolling Stone’ which hits stands this Friday, also sharing details on bullying he faced during his teen years and why he is bored of being compared to ‘Cold Shoulder‘ chanteuse Adele.
His words below…
Pieces pulled from ‘The Liberation of Sam Smith‘ read:
Smith is tired of being tagged the “male Adele.”
Smith calls Adele “my Michael Jackson” – he’s been a fan since he was 16 – but says, “We’re very different, and I feel like the constant comparisons might piss her off.” He adds, “It just annoys me that people can’t digest two pop stars singing really personal songs who don’t look like normal pop stars.”While Smith aims to change perceptions of what a typical pop star needs to look like, he has his insecure moments.
“I just want to lose weight for the Grammys, if I’m honest,” says Smith, who is currently on a cayenne-pepper juice regimen ahead of the biggest night of his career. “I’m just very body-conscious. Sometimes I’m really proud that I don’t look like other pop stars. But there’s also moments where I’m like, ‘Ugh, I wish I had abs like Bieber.'”He wouldn’t mind losing a Grammy — to Beyoncé.
Smith is a longtime Beyoncé superfan; he’s been known to sing “Drunk in Love” in the shower and knows all the moves from the video. He’s facing off against Bey in the Album of the Year category, and Smith insists he’d rather see his hero win. “She deserves it way more than I do,” he says. “I’d be embarrassed if I got it over her. If I got it, I’d give it to her.”His first experience with heartbreak still makes him cry.
As a young teen, Smith wrote a “really intense” love letter to a popular, artistic kid two years older than him. The student turned out to be straight, but he wrote a long, thoughtful letter back, saying he only saw Smith as a friend. “It makes me emotional, actually,” Smith says, his eyes clouding up. “He looked out for me for the rest of school. He just made sure that if anyone took the piss out of me, he would stick up for me. He could have made it hell for me, you know?”He was bullied after coming out.
Smith maintains that his childhood was happy “80 percent of the time,” but he details several painful experiences he had growing up. Once, as he was walking through his small hometown with his dad, someone drove by and yelled “faggot.” “I was just embarrassed that my dad had to see that, because I could only imagine how you feel as a parent. You just want to kill them. I was always embarrassed for the people around me. It actually never deeply affected me, you know?” The worst incident happened after he moved out of his small hometown. Soon after arriving in London, he was attacked while walking around in makeup. “I got punched in my neck, just out of nowhere,” Smith says. “It wasn’t the easiest.”
He is starting to get annoying!!!!!!!!
Exactly, he needs to shut the f*** up! If he wins that award… “Break The Internet” will become an understatement. But I’m not worried about him… He’s already showing signs of being a one hit wonder, so I doubt the GRAMMYs will give the award.
How can he be a one hit wonder when he already has 3 hits?
Get used to it then! ;P
Very
Girl the gays are do dramatic…..like SAM
I am not surprised he is a Beyonce fan, all gays are, especially among the queens of the ratchet part Houston Texas.
‘
Beyonce is the Diana Ross of this century, among homosexuals, so nothing surprising there.
b**** shut up your f****** annoying your presence on here is annoying go troll somewhere else #BYEFELICIA
Old to you but not to the public she’s stil charting how many years later how many millions sold girl buy mariah is DEAD and GONE She needs to stay in Vegas and worry about the lawsuit she has pending for wrongfully firing her nanny for not buying he flop as album
Are you talking about MARIAH CAREY who is by far one of the greatest song writers of all time? That Mariah?
Yes the one who’s last album bombed quicker than the last 3 Ciara albums yes that one who’s last hit was how long ago and please beautiful was a minor hit not even top 10 see if she still had a voice then it would be different but that left quicker than beyonce albums went off the shelfs.
Oh, I thought you were referring to the Mariah who has sold over 100 million ALBUMS, has got 18 #1s and is the best female artist of the soundscan era. Can your fav say that? I’ll wait.
“I am not surprised he is a Beyonce fan, all gays are, ”
.
Well that must mean you’re a HUGE fan too?
I’m bi
Beyonce is also adored by Adam Levine, Snoop Dogg, Damon Wayans, ASAP Rocky, Big Sean, Jon Stewart, and many other countless Non-gay male celebrities (especially rappers) who continuously praise her on Twitter and don’t hide the fact that they’re fans of hers. So STFUU.
I never said they weren’t, but the homosexual community, especially the feminine ones treat her like she’s their elected representative.
‘
Why are you defensive anyway, it is not like I said anything offensive.
And is there anything wrong with that? As a straight female I don’t understand why you being shady with that statement. 90% of all female artists wouldn’t be much without the gays. Including your fave Rihanna.
Lmao not Diana ross
Excuse me? I respect Thighonce’s performing abilities, but I am by NO means a fan. She takes all the credit for the work that other people do. That and her delusional fans actually think she sings live 100%.
This is coming from the biggest f*ggot on TGJ….
As for being called the male Adele, I agree with him, he is not like Adele, he is in fact better.
‘
Adele got lucky there was a hole in the market and she filled that hole. She will be still very successful when she comes around next time, but I doubt she’ll have the same impact.
‘
Adele is great, but she is no Mariah Carey. Her album got old to me fast, just my opinion.
He is good but Adele is better sorry. Her voice is 10 times more beautiful and her album was way more classic and appealing. She also slayed with Skyfall. Of course neither of them are Mariah Carey though.
@SUPRISE b**** shut up your f****** annoying your presence on here is annoying go troll somewhere else #BYEFELICIA
BUT WHY ARE U BITTER THO????????????LOL #SEETHEBITCH
I like him 🙂
Well that’s a sweet thing to say about Queen B. As for the Adele comparison, he’s going to be compared because they both are successful UK artists. Still though, I think Sam is his own man. I can’t wait to see the Grammys.
Girl STFU!!!
At least he can admit the truth! Honey I’ll boycott if he wins AOTY over BEYONCE. I don’t think he will though.
He gives me screamy power bottom teas… He betta PRAISE Queen Bey.
Ooop b****
He idolizes Beyonce so much, that he even started to steal music just like her….. GTFOH damn Stunt Queen. Start settling out of court like Bey does, so there wont be any public receipts. There will be a lot more of those accusations if he continues down the road he is going. He is losing me as a listener of his music, His album still slays though
Hun, let’s not talk about settling out of court when Ciara was served papers…on stage.
Hahaha!
Yet the judge threw the case out and dismissed it for invalid receipts. I cant with yall using that as the only Legal drama receipt to try and come for Ciara, Whilst others are being sued for millions and settling out of court to keep their secrets behind closed doors. FOH using that tires a** read. If you gonna drag with that atleast prvide receipts where the judge ordered a judgement against Ciara to pay anything to that tired drag queen club in LA. Suits them right for spreading lies.
–
But again, ill wait when you can provide further receipts following up with that drama. As there are plenty of receipts to prove COUNTLESS other musicians being sued for stealing. Yet Ciara was only accused of “Not showing up to an event” …. Which is worse????
The only Beyonce case settled was the video game saga, and that had nothing to do with stealing. The ‘stealing’ allegations are dismissed and never taken any furter. People often try it too much with her some of the claims are ridiculous hence why they are never persued.
How is CiCi’s song I Beg doing?
@Tyler OMG DEAD!
Cute sis, Not hiding under a Missy Elliot stan screen name to start drama, If you want to come for Ciaras song then dont hide behind a “Misdemeanor” shield.
Beyonce has won enough grammys to last a lifetime, Other Artistes also deserve to win.
Shes never one album if the year though, which is a very important one.
won*
Actually I would say “Best New Artist” is thee upmost important because that particular award you can never win again.
Album of the year*
@Peacemaker They need to make quality albums and work hard on their craft. Nothing in this world is free, and artists need to work their asses off if they wanna win more awards and compete for the crown.
What an asskisser he knows the unemployed members of the Flea Hive will attack him if he says otherwise like they do other celebrities, he knows his album was way better than that ghetto mess that Thiefonce released
In the mean time, I’d like for someone to explain this:
US Radio : #81. (+53) “FourFiveSeconds” – @rihanna (KANYE WEST/P MCCARTNEY) : 26.006 (+11.501) ‘
—–
There is no f****** way that this S*** is rising that fast on U.s overall radio. PAYOLA QUEEN.
Bringing Rihanna into this again LMAO
LOOOL!
QUEEN OF PAYOLA!, She coming for Katy Perrys title!
Death at the beyhive keeping hourly updates checks on Rihannas single!!!
Btw, Beyonces overhyped album doesn’t deserve to win over Sam
SCREAMING!!!!! More like per minute updates
You should be flattered the somebody is keeping hourly updates. Because the rest of the world stopped checking for it about FourFiveSeconds ago.
How? It’s still in the top 5, #3 Us #2 UK it’s charting worldwide stop being bitter!
Still not #1 though. The US is “The Singles Queens” home market. So why isn’t she burning up the charts?
Ok, loving @Tyler shade on this post lol
Just like ya’ll were keeping weekly updates on Beyonce’s albums sales last year? A non promoted album can’t be over-hyped. The fact that it’s grammy nominated speaks volumes. When will Rihanna and her 13 singles? 😀
Girrrrrrrrrrl
I see they pressed with no response!!!!!!!! Lmao!!!!
Zero lies detected.
Stop hiding behind Keri already lololol.
Sam Smith loves Beyonce and always praises her. Talent knows talent.
As long as Katy perry remains grammyless, i’m happy.
SCREAMING, Troll_Hive will have something to say about that
@FutureCiara
Hun, let’s not talking about settling out of court when Ciara was served papers…on stage.
Lies.
FACTS.COM
BYE, Copy & Paste queen…
I think he is just so humble and sweet, and he is only giving respect to his idol… Nothing to be mad about
He will be them ass kissing Queens.
I pray to Darwin that he beats that insufferable credit stealing thigh monster at the Grammys. The day Thighonce has a successful album that she WRITES herself, then she can be worthy of all the praise she’s drowned in day in and day out.
Oh stfu, you don’t have to write everything to be a great talent.
If Beyonce wins album of the year there will be more seething to come. If she doesn’t then well she’ll still have 17+ in closet. Grammies ‘dont mean anything now’ yet yall are praying hard she doesn’t win LOL.
17 small grammys. She never won any of the top awards.
Doesn’t matter. Its still 17 mother effin Grammies. Has your fave done the same?
the R&B ones aren’t “small”. But if you’re talking the “general field” ones, Song of The Year, Single Ladies.
Um she’s won Song of the Year for Single ladies! Next????
You know what. This is the problem. When people win r and b categories, they are looked at as being “small”. Then you wonder why MOST African Americans artists aren’t nominated for AMAs, general field grammys, vmas, etc. We don’t support our own, but get mad when Bey is the Head Huncho and no one else can win or no one of color is nominated! Nonetheless, I’m glad we support our Queen in ALL. Categories she’s nominated in! #Beyhive
I hate the Grammys because the more popular categories/genres are just popularity contests, and then it’s like they pick names out of a hat for the other ones/Best New Artist.
But yes, if Bey loses AOTY to this basic ass white British “soul” album, they will get dragged to hell and back, especially on Twitter.
From what I heard, his album is nothing new nor different from any other wanna be soul aka blue eyes soul. Beyonce have a pretty good balance, plus the videos were pretty well done.
Exactly. His album is just another Amy/Adele b-side mess like that Ella Henderson girl.
I didn’t know Sam Smith liked d*** in his booty hole
He’s annoying and his music is super bland, and this is coming from someone who liked his first EP. Of course the GP eats it up. America always has THE worst acts from the UK crossing over (sans Arctic Monkeys).
If he didn’t get marketed as the male, gay Adele, I doubt the Grammys would’ve been showering him. They love white people “soul” like his trash album.
Beyonce’s album is regular as shyt…. It’s basic r&b/pop with Wanna be edgy videos. The hype overrides the product.. She’s a great strategist. But nah for “Album Of The Yr”…. Sam S. Ed. Pharrell >>>>>>>>……… Beyonce’s album…. People kiss her a** because of her delusional a** fans….
Critics opinion>>>>>Yours
Kii, Drag ha!!!
Ed Sheeran ‘s album is better than Sam’s and the sales are backing it up
.
Either Bey or Ed, Sam is as overhyped as Adele
.
I hope they won’t repeat tge Adele sweep with Sam
.
Ed {>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sam
@Metzo
.
Rosie already clocked Rihanna’s payola deal with iHeartRadio
I hope Beyonces album wins thats a great body of work. I feel her story in that album something i’ve never got from Bey before. Sams album is ok, typical blue eyes soul. I’d rather Beyonce won tbh.
Hear Yee, Hear Yee,

Upon going to 42nd st/Time Square to support my sis TROLL_HIVE (aka prismatic formerly slay_hive) I was saddened to learn that she would NO LONGER be performing in that venue due to accusations that she was in Madamme Tussauds wax figure house soliciting blow jobs and añal in the Beyonce exhibit and trying to slice the patrons who were in the Rihanna one. So unfortunately she is not welcome in Time Square anymore. FORTUNATELY her team (of trannies) informed me that she has been working hard at a new routine and will be returning to an undisclosed location ASAP. They even sent me a preview of my sis’ epic slayage- I’m so proud of her! And they said thick bïtches couldn’t move.. Hmmph work sis
http://youtu.be/0_lrKhmx2WU
The tears…. I hate you!!!! LOL
I knew there was a reason why I liked Sam Smith. He better stan for the queen. & I know the day of the Grammys will be a complete and otter mess. If Bey doesn’t win AOTY then the Grammys & who ever wins it over her will be dragged to hell & back!!
You’re an idiot, why would you drag the winner as if they had anything to do with the commitee choosing them. You need a more exciting life.
B**** get the f*** out of my reply section. When the hell did I say that I would be dragging them?? I said they will be dragged(which they will be) whether or not it’s their fault or not! I never specified who would be doing the dragging!! So please hop off my c*** & you go find yourself a more exciting life!! #ByeFelicia
Like I said girl. Get a life, a hobby, a career. Dragging someone because of their success isn’t a past time hunny. Your mother would be sad that her terrible parenting skills have brought you to this
First of all dont ever mention my mom or her parenting skills in your filthy nasty a*** infected mouth!
Second of all I have a life a hobby & soon enough a career hence the reason I’m not in your reply section seething but you are in mine!
Third of all why the hell do you keep replying to me?? Are you not getting any love at home?? Does daddy not love you?? This is the last bit of attention you will be getting from me!!
Your mom would be so disappointed. Not only in you for being pathetic but in herself for not choosing to stick that wire hanger up her püssy and scramble that egg (you) inside of her. Hell it’s not like she knows who the father was anyway.
His comment on Beyoncé was a pleasant surprise. I hope Beyoncé wins but if Sam wins I wonder if he’ll keep his word.
Lol who gives a dayum about a Critic? A lot of them are biased too. The bottom line is many are apprehensive about saying anything less than PC about Beyonce because of her strangle hold on the media. That album is ok. The Rollout > The Actual Material.. Everyone was/is more excited about the marketing behind it than anything else.. That was creative though. But that’s it..
Critics opinion hold a more weight than yours so stop acting like your opinion. If you didn’t like the album that’s your business but remember that’s your opinion and doesn’t necessarily make something basic because to me songs like Heaven, Rocket, Blue, Superpower, Blow, Mine, Xo, Haunted, Ghost and Jealous were anything but basic. I loved Beyonces album and I’m not a Stan, she had mixture everything in there’s different themes and genres that all came together cohesively to make a great piece of work. And they are not biased because she would have had universal acclaim before now if that was the case.
They are allood contenders. Beyonce and Ed Sheerans albums was better than Sam Smiths to me but he is still a worthy winner. All the competitors are worthy.
Well I think it is one of the weakest years ever in the Album of The Year category. I suppose it reflects the poor state mainstream music is in nowadays.
Just because she threw a plethora of sounds from a few different genres onto one album doesn’t make the album special. It didn’t really have any legs. But the ploy worked for a bit earlier on. If the critics panned the album you’d be singing a completely different tune. Sam Ed >>>>>>>> Her Album…. Some of these songs are just her version of other people’s songs, nothing that special or organic about them, meanwhile what you just wrote is your opinion. Ya see how that works..
#Weak
Well damn didn’t know he was the gay. No wonder this guy comes out of no where, and they pump his music all over the radio including urban stations. TPTB are full force behind their own kind. Geesh, it makes perfect sense now.
