As the Grammys approach, the biggest night for music is right around the corner. On Feb. 2, the 67th Annual Grammy Awards will be held, with a wide variety of artists nominated to win out of 94 different categories. These categories include record of the year, album of the year, song of the year and best new artist. The Grammys will be located at the Crypto.com arena in Los Angeles, just like years before. The Grammys will also be streaming on Paramount +, and on the CBS Television Network.
“The Grammys have a different variety of all types of artists like country, pop, rap and it’s very competitive,” freshman Karley Lewis said. “I hope that Megan Thee Stallion wins, I hope Drake wins something and I hope 21 Savage wins something. I want them to win because I really enjoyed their music. 21 Savage makes really good music and so does Drake.”
There are so many artists nominated for all of the different awards presented. Music is such an important part of the world, and the Grammys are a perfect time for music lovers to express their interest in certain artists and genres.
“I have a handful of artists I want to win,” sophomore Oliver Bosanquet said. “I think Laufey and Charli XCX are my top picks. I think Laufey deserves the award because well, they are Icelandic, and their music has just been heavily on the rise. They’re bringing back jazz. Charli XCX is bumpin’ that. Charli XCX is brat and she deserves Album of the Year.”
The Grammys give artists in the music industry a chance to compete, and win the Gramophone Award. Depending on the music genre, artists have their own chance of winning an award. The Grammys provide entertainment for all music lovers, and keep the fun and diverse music community going strong.
“I think the Grammys are entertaining because music is shockingly so much of our world and what we consume in the media just in everyday events,” Bosanquet said. “I think awards being given out to people who excel in those fields are interesting and happy to happen.”
