OPINION: Beyonce Deserved The Grammy

Billie Eillish did have a great album with some great songs, so I am not discrediting her not one bit. I have played “Wildflower” and “Birds of a Feather” by her numerous times on repeat--I understand the hype. However, “Cowboy Carter” had a much greater success than “Hit Me Hard and Soft”.

To be fair, the two songs I previously named were the only two songs that I heard on the album. I feel like two songs shouldn’t determine a Grammy. They were great, yes, but not as commercially successful as Beyonces’. “Cowboy Carter” got Beyonce a halftime show at the football game. One of her songs, “LEVI'S JEANS” was featured in a Levi commercial (with Beyonce as a special guest). “16 CARRIAGES” went viral on social media for weeks. “TEXAS HOLD EM’” also went viral worldwide, becoming a catchy and upbeat song that millions loved. Those were just half of the songs that had amazing success. It’s all in the charts.

Billies’ album was beautiful, but in the music industry, success throughout the entire industry, not just music, will win you a Grammy.
