I love music. Almost every kind of music there is. There is one genre I don't particularly love but I will not even put out there what it is. The reason is that to me, music is an important way for us to express the things that our spoken words or innermost thoughts are afraid to say.
I loved the Grammy's this year, though I confess I have DVR'd the last 30 minutes so that I will watch it tonight. I also was loathe to give up my 30 minutes of reading time so I am having my cake and eating it too with the magic of recording.
Lots of my favorite artists won this year--notably Kendrick Lamar and Bruno Mars. What was also notable to me was who did not win. Namely Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee. Despacito was the biggest hit (obviously we are just talking about my opinion here) in 2017 For actual stats, I looked up how many youtude hits it had. There were something like 4 billion by October of last year. I did not bother to look up how many sales there were, or downloads of the song, but I am sure there were high numbers there.
So I ask you, why did they not win? I believe simply they did not win because it was a latin group singing a latin song and this was a "mainstream" award. We haven't come all that far people.
