The 2026 Grammy Nominees

[Captain Creeper]

I usually read the news on my phone during lunch. However, I was just not in the mood today. So I opted for something light and unserious to read while I ate my bowl of soup: CNN. I came across an article on the 2026 Grammy nominees. I knew it was going to be bad. But I did not know it would be THIS bad. I love good music, which explains why I have never heard of most of the "artists" on this list. I shall summarize.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR

“DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS,” Bad Bunny

I only know who "Bad Bunny" is because of the Super Bowl halftime show controversy. This foreigner has inserted himself into the anti-American cause of defying our immigration laws. He also looks like a freaking weirdo. No music, just rap, sampling, and drum machines. Pure crap.

“SWAG,” Justin Bieber

I thought Bieber was dead.

“Man’s Best Friend,” Sabrina Carpenter

I do not know who this is.

“Let God Sort Em Out,” Clipse, Pusha T and Malice

I do not know who these fuckers are, and imagine I am better off for not knowing. Plus, they are ripping off the slogan from my favorite gun show tee shirt.

“Mayhem,” Lady Gaga

I would bang Gaga. Therefore, she exists in my universe. She is a good musician who can really belt one out. She can also play piano very well. She is the only legit musician on this list. She is the clear winner, and I have not even heard her song. Honestly, the only song she has I can identify is the "Rah Rah Ga Ga" one.

“CHROMAKOPIA,” Tyler, the Creator

I do not know what this shit is, nor do I care

“GNX,” Kendrick Lamar

Doesn't he play for the Cowboys?

“MUTT,” Leon Thomas

I have no idea who this is. Mutt Lange's kid?

“CHROMAKOPIA,” Tyler, the Creator

Again, no idea.



BEST NEW ARTIST

Olivia Dean

Who?

Katseye

I have never heard of this ******.

The Marias

What?

Addison Rae

Any relation to Charlotte Rae?

sombr

In a sombr moment, I realized that my spelling sucks

Leon Thomas

This guy drained my septic tank last year!

Alex Warren

Generic, non-gender specific name number 37

Lola Young

Lotsa Dung



BEST CONTEMPORARY COUNTRY ALBUM

“Patterns,” Kelsea Ballerini

Who the **** is this?

“Snipe Hunter,” Tyler Childers

Who?!?! Where the **** are Dwight Yokem and George Straight and Merle Haggard?!?

“Evangeline Vs. The Machine,” Eric Church

Not a ******* clue

“Beautifully Broken,” Jelly Roll

I thought I read where this fat-**** drug addict is a rapper. How can you make a country rap album?!? Such a concept is void ab anitio.

“Postcards From Texas,” Miranda Lambert

At least I have heard of this woman. I don't have a clue what she sounds like.



BEST TRADITIONAL COUNTRY ALBUM

“Dollar A Day,” Charley Crockett

No clue who he is; I like the song title.

“American Romance,” Lukas Nelson

This must be one of those Brokeback Mountain country singers. He misspells his first name.

“Oh What A Beautiful World,” Willie Nelson

Winner.

“Hard Headed Woman,” Margo Price

I am familiar with the name "Margo", but that's it.

“Ain’t In It For My Health,” Zach Top

Is this act a fusion of ZZ Top and Carrot Top?!?



BEST ROCK ALBUM

“private music,” Deftones

Winner. This is, btw, the only song I have heard with any regularity.

“I Quit,” HAIM

Please tell me this is not ******* Corey Haim.

“From Zero,” Linkin Park

I have obviously heard of them. I never cared for them. I care even less now that the dead singer was replaced by a chick.

“NEVER ENOUGH,” Turnstile

I have heard of them. It is the dumbest band name in history. If not for Sirius radio, nobody would have ever heard of them except at the little hole-in-the-wall bars they played.

“Idols,” YUNGBLUD

Who?!?! What?!?!? Who gives a shit!

 

[Hellokitty]

Where are liberals whining about the oligarchy?
How are liberals going to react when the rich celebrities highlight the plight of the "poor" while excepting their awards in their $1000's attire eating $1000's meals and receiving 1000's in free gifts?

Liberals should be protesting these awards and loot all the food and gifts. Liberals should be demanding/threatening those in attendance to give their fair share and remind them they didn't build/earn all this.

Alison Krauss and Union Station have been nominated for Best Bluegrass Album and so therefore, I am one happy Holly.

God bless you and them always!!!

Holly (an AKUS fan since 1994)

P.S. If they win, Alison will then have 28 Grammy awards. Only one other female act has more than her.

I like her too. I did not see that on the CNN list. I guess bluegrass is too low-brow for those communists.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

^^^ I just read that AKUS is also nominated for the Best American Roots Performance Grammy too.

God bless you and each band member always!!!

Holly (an AKUS fan since 1994)

 

[whitehall]

Grammies are just an excuse for rich entertainers to have a party. I thought Justin Bieber was dead. Not a country song in the lot.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

I never heard of one of the nominees nor ever heard any of their music.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

^^^ Alison Krauss is nominated for two Grammys. If you've never heard of her before, you are missing out on the voice of an angel.

God bless you and Alison always!!!

Holly (a fan of her since 1994)

Kelsea Ballerini is a noted female country artist. The fact you haven't heard of her just says you are not a fan of recent country music. She has been around a few years.

In regard to Jelly Roll, you read wrong. You should acquaint yourself with his music which has numerous religious overtones, and you would see. He is not a rapper and he just recently lost over 200 pounds of weight. He also just shaved his beard for the first time since he became known. He is a reformed criminal who spent 8 years in prison. he's probably one of the hottest tickets in music these days. Everybody loves him.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

^^^ To me, Kelsi has never sounded country. Her first song on the radio named "Love Me Like You Mean It" back in 2014 sounded like teeny bopper music and it still does.

God bless you and Kelsi always!!!

Holly

 

[soul musician]

P.S. If they win, Alison will then have 28 Grammy awards. Only one other female act has more than her.

Dolly?

 

[soul musician]

Well, Merle is dead. George and Dwight had their excellent days. Yoakam was great in Sling Blade. I will never forget how he delivered that drunk line to Billy Bob, right before he got his head split.

Billy asks the Dwight character how to call the emergency line. A drunk Dwight says something like, "I dunno; pick up a fuckin' phone." And then he gives the number to Billy. He says, nine [pause], one [another pause], [and then a drunken pause and sigh] one. I had to wonder if the director helped him deliver that line. It was professional.

 

[soul musician]

I'm going to throw one out there. This song was catchy from Kelsea Ballerini. Even if you don't like her, just try to keep from singing along!

"If you're going down
I'm goin' down too"

 

[JOSweetHeart]

Dolly?

Beyonce took the lead in 2021.

God bless you and Beyonce always!!!

Holly

 

[Blaster]

Does anyone really watch this?

 

[JOSweetHeart]

^^^ For me, it all depends on who is nominated, performing, presenting, and attending in general.

God bless you always!!!

Holly
