Recording Academy executive Harvey Mason is speaking out.
He sat down with the LA Times, where he talked about this year’s ceremony. More importantly, he commented on Beyoncé‘s decision to not perform at the GRAMMY Awards.
His words below…
“It’s unfortunate, because she’s such a big part of the Recording Academy. We absolutely wish we had her onstage.”
Queen Bey is the most nominated artist at this year’s awards. She scored nine nominations across various categories, including Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year, Best Rap Performance, Best Rap Song, and more. Her nominations are split between her Megan Thee Stallion collaboration ‘Savage (Remix),’ ‘Black Parade,’ and Best Music Film for ‘Black Is King.’
Whether she performs or not, Beyoncé already made history with her nine nominations, as she became the most-nominated female artist ever.
Personally, we would have loved to see her and Meg light-up the stage with their ‘Savage (Remix).’
But what are…
Can someone explain to me how she’s the most nominated artist this year? 🙄 She hasn’t had a certified album since the middle of last decade
Inquiring minds want to know!?
Cuz certifications don’t mean s*** now. The wackest songs get certified. She’s a legend. Perioddddd
She still can put no music for 20 yrs and dominate the nominations.
Her music is not what’s best abt her anyway… it’s the legendary status…
Wake up, she’s a planet in her own orbit!
Exactly
The Weeknd already exposed it. The Grammys have “special” committees that only nominate the people they want to win. That’s why she always gets 8-9 nominations every time she puts an album out, even if it flops. Has nothing to do with musical talent; her music is subpar at best, that’s why she doesn’t have a certified album in over a decade. Beyonce is all hype and back alley agreements.
I think beyonce is at a place where if she doesn’t get what she wants shes not doing it. I’m not surprised shes a artist and a meticulous virgo, she probably wanted to fly in on a helicopter and they said no and she said im not performing then. She knows her worth.
Beyonce is getting exactly what she wants. She wants to stay home with her children as she explained already. The award show whom ass she kissed all 2016 to be kicked to the curb to celebrate a white British woman who even stans Beyonce herself, will not change her mind.
Yeah It seems she’s finally ready for a real break. I think she’s over it. It’s like Adele said, what else does she have to do, like what do they want from her? The Grammys need her though. They have her close the show, just so people will stay and wait for her to perform. Nobody wants to watch an award show lineup of dababy, dua lipa, and Ariana grande. The thrill is gone.
The thrill has been good and The Grammys is part of that reason. They keep allowing these bullshìt artist give these half-assed performances no matter how much viewers ask for change or stop watching. But these artist are alot cheaper to book and don’t require much production so there’s that.
Lmaoooo she’s not performing because she’s old and played out, this generation only knows her as that girl that’s married to jay z and was on Megan’s remix, stop with these imaginary scenarios lmfaoooooooo 😂😂😂
Say that to the Grammy she just won tonight, and the record she broke all in the same acceptance speech 💀
I truly adored Beyoncé in all of her accomplishments and seeing her perform on three Grammys stage will be a 💯+ for them because their ratings would shot thru the sky but in all honesty they have done her so wrong snubbing wise, even one of their own picks choices (Adele) spoke on it and I so agree. A few good artist 👩🎨 is now withdrawing from performance wise because of the many snubs, so I don’t blame Beyoncé the Grammys sucks big tome
Can TGJ stop using this Toilet pipe head pic of Queen B? This is so disrespectful for da Queen 💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿 Now flush it 🤳🏿🤳🏿🤳🏿
After giving her 9 nominations.
😂
That’s what u get for being an àss kissèr
Damn, growing up the grammys use to be such a respectable award.
I remember when Rihanna won her first Grammy for umbrella, I was so happy for her.
Today nobody cares about this dumb award. Even the Oscar’s os losing its relevancy
But what is she going to perform is my question. And why?
My power
Savage remix
Brown skin girl
Already
Black parade.
Beyoncé could stay silent in the middle of a stage and still can rock better than your faves. Remember beychella? Who needs to perform after that ?
The woman almost died giving birth to her children and in the midst of a global pandemic decided their lifez are more important than this shady ass failing music industry…and I don’t blame her. She f****** deserves it. Not only does she kick your favs asses with a mere 10 minute performance, but she still supports those lazy b******. Let that woman live and find some other poor black girl to run into the ground.
Oh come one she didn’t almost die at all please.
She didn’t give birth on a street in Syria under bombs but in a fancy hospital with the best doctors helping her so stop that BS.
What a stupid comment. You are so ignorant if you think pregnancy complications are exclusive to women “giving birth under bombs in Syria”.
You are extremely stupid if you read that. That woman is well rounded and can afford the best cares. Good for her but there is no way on earth she almost died for giving birth.
Dumb ass, being able to afford the beat care in the world does not exempt Beyoncé from health and birth complications. YES, WITH ALL HER MONEY, SHE STILL HAD A HIGH RISK BIRTH. I know it’s hard for you to believe that her many prevents her from developing Preeclampsia or prevents her child’s heart beat stopping in the middle of birth but IT DIDN’T. She could’ve lost her life and so could her children. Stop talking out your ass, it’s full of shìt.
Would a Beyoncé performance really change anything for the granny’s ratings wise. Probably not. They need the younger demo
People/beehives! Beyonce is gone/dead.
I like Be but lets get it clear about her GRAMMY awards – soooo overrated!.
Now let’s see if they snub BLACK PARADE for not performing!! Brilliantly done B. Your move Harvey!!
#FUCKTheGrammys & Stream After Hours 😈💯
Lmaoooo girl please, that shyt wasn’t gonna win anyway lmaooo 😂😂😂
Hopefully, Beyonce is taking a much needed BREAK from the business to focus on family and other issues that will shape/form her true legacy. She has made her mark and doesn’t need another award show performance to prove anything. Let the newer stars shine. There’s room for all…
She doesn’t have an album campaign to promote, and pretty sure she’s above just coming to perform 2 year old songs without introducing something new. Makes sense.
They always tryna use the Queen and then snub her. F them!
The b**** is tired, damn
Let her raise lil rumer and baybay or whatever they names is ..
Let her sit back n suck her man d*** for a summer without performing ..
The b**** Almost 40 got damn ..
Let her rest them bones
Lmaoooo let’s be real here roaches, she’s not performing because nobody wants to see this 50 year old roach shaking her cellulite on their screens singing flopped songs about Africa. This isn’t 2008 anymore, literally nobody on Twitter is checking for this roach to perform lmfaoooooooo 😂😂😂
