The Grammys, Which Apparently Still Exist, Once Again Descend Into an Sloppy Orgy of Virtue Signalling and Cultural Irrelevance

The emcee, the failed DEI "comic" Trevor Noah, accused Trump WITHOUT EVIDENCE of having visited Epstein's island -- and Trump says he's suing.

🚨 NEW: Trevor Noah makes a defamatory joke about Trump going to Epstein’s Island: “What are you to do about it?”

President Trump responds almost immediately saying he’s going to sue to sh!t out of him: “Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you!”

A lot of no-talents had a lot of virtue signalling thoughts.

"Bad Bunny," the transvestite communist that the NFL will feature as their Super Bowl halftime act, says that hate is bad:

Bad Bunny says "ICE OUT" at the #Grammys and receives a massive standing ovation:

"We are not savage, we are not animals, we are not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans. The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love.… pic.twitter.com/IFzvguqdCR
— Variety (@Variety) February 2, 2026

The left is giddy over the possibility that this transvestite will wear a dress to a formerly wholesome sports exhibition beloved by little kids:

And Trump's fans are about to get more upset. The rumor mill has it that Bad Bunny, in a nod of support to the LGBTQ community and as just another norms-pushing statement, plans to don a dress during the Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show. TMZ initially reported the "rumor," with a follow-up report saying they couldn't confirm what he's wearing, citing "production sources."
At my behest, internet sports book BetOnline.ag created a betting line for "Will Bad Bunny wear a dress during Super Bowl halftime show?" The website has it at -150 (bet $150 to profit $100) he will, and +110 (wager $100 to profit $110) he will not. Here's the rub, though: as the prop bet is "for entertainment purposes only," the max wager is $25.
Not enough action for you? You can also bet on the type of dress Bad Bunny will wear, should he defy TMZ. The most probable type of dress is a ball gown (7/4, +175), with a halter dress (3/1) and a shirt dress (4/1) rounding out the favorites. A bodycan and a qipao are both available at 5/1. Long shots are a maxi-dress (6/1) and an A-line (7/1).

I saw rumors a couple weeks back that "Bad Bunny" had been told by the NFL not to wear his typical transvestite attire, but I guess he's gonna let his freak flag fly.

Bringing these stories together: While Noah Trevor defames Trump as an Epstein colleague, he for some reason "forgets" that rapper Jay-Z has been named in the Epstein files, as has his wife, the world's most annoying feminist Beyonce.

And Jay-Z, for some reason, was given the power to produce the Super Bowl halftime shows, and he hired the transvestite for this year's degradation pageant.

Trevor Noah omitted to mention that Jay-Z is accused of having sex with young minors:

Are y’all understanding that these ppl have been sacrificing children as a way of gaining & maintaining power? If you ever vote DemonCrat again, you’re just as soulless as they are & will perish.

She also linked a picture of a young man who is trying to force Jay-Z to take a paternity test -- because he claims that Jay-Z raped (statutory rape, I think he means) his mother when she was 16.

Wanna be brave and shocking in Current Year? Wear a button-down shirt and slacks and put on a straight show of real music made with actual instruments and classical structure with more than a hook, a verse and a half and a chorus.

I don't know if that's true any more. Seems to me that most pro sports are aging out, with the younger generations having much less interest. The average age of an NFL fan is 50 years old.

The leagues have so far avoided the consequences of an aging (and dying) fan base by finding other sources of revenue -- primarily gambling and raping fans with endless fees and charges.

Yes. Power of and.

Modern popular music is extremely boring. I have posited before that other than actual songwriting acts (Adele, Taylor Swift, etc.), the music is being written by computers. I think they took 30-40 years' worth of Top 40 and used it to train an AI model back before AI took off, then used that to generate song frameworks for pop acts, with producers plugging in lyrics and tuning it up a bit. The ones that hit went back into the model, and it converged on itself so now it all sounds the same.

Whatever the genre or performer, it's all very similar structurally.
Hook, verse, chorus, hook, half a verse, hook, chorus, hook, hook, hook, chorus, hook, fade out.

It's all the same. Run it through the Twangifier to get "country." Run it through the pitch shifter to get "pop." Change the BPM and run it through the staccato filter to get "rap."

I guess as a kid Nikki went to church several times a week, and is getting back into it. I think the genocide of Christians in Africa and how the left ignores them woke her up. She thanked her pastor at an old awards show.

Joe Rogan is going to church! Calls Christians the genuinely nicest people he's ever met. And atheist intellectuals some of the most miserable.

Posted by: Formerly Virginian
======
True. He has alluded to some of the reasons why in other posts. It is about economics--the orchestras are expensive and almost always lose money nowadays, then it was smaller mini orchestras, aka the Big Band era, higher wages then led to the smaller band era, and now bands simply do not exist on the top new music lists of streaming services. Legacy bands still sell records or concerts but no new bands are becoming big.

The reason is that producer/songwriter combos using a few or no session musicians nowadays, can just use whatever front person for the music that they want. No messy contracts other than a single front person singing from backing tracks that are increasingly AI. With pitch correction and other tech wizardry, the singer no longer even has to be really good, just look good for promo purposes.

The next step is AI music entirely including the singer so the songwriter/producer team gets all the money and subcontracts, or not, to record labels or roll their own.

178 I know young people who are trying to become professional musicians and recording artists.

They seem like reasonable people. I think the main thing that separates them from the people at the Grammys is fame.

Once you start making money and everyone knows who you are, you get this identity crisis, knowing that you aren’t any more talented or hardworking than the hundreds who tried and failed to get where you are.

So you have to believe you’re special, to act like you’re special, to crave attention and controversy.

It doesn’t happen to everyone. To me, Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney always seemed to have their sh!t together, even though I’m not a big fan of either’s music.

I love when people of privilege use words like “we” as if that earns them a participation trophy. The only thing dumber and more useless than her speech are the people who applaud her “bravery”.

"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..." Turns out that idealistic poetry doesn't make for good immigration policy.

It actually does. How do you think this country was built? Just because white supremacists blame immigrants for everything wrong in the country does not make it true. Immigrants, even illegal ones, are a net benefit to the country.

I hope celebrities like her continue saying things like this. It's going to make great election advertising for conservatives on how the left claims to oppose illegal immigration, but actually doesn't.

222 The last time I paid attention to the Grammy awards was over 20 years ago to see if Howard Shore would win for his soundtracks for LOTR. He did win and, frankly, should have been the only nominee. Now, I doubt I could recognize any of the names involved. I had to look up Bad Bunny. I thought it was a kids' book character.

There are times I miss the Playboy jazz awards. Recognizing real talent for a more civilized time.

231 Tired of this "nobody's illegal on stolen land" bullshit. Stolen from who, exactly? No enforceable national borders can exist anywhere else ever because some other people might have been through there before? Can't enforce trespassing or home invasion laws either if you're on land that some Indian might have raped and murdered rival tribes on. And don't give me this bullshit about the white man stealing land from the Indians, who in the vast majority of cases A) originally came here from somewhere else over the land bridge, B) were nomadic, and C) didn't "own" land so much as ravage all the resources then move on to another spot that they hadn't denuded of all the game animals. It's a stupid slogan for stupid people who don't know a fucking thing about world history or how functional civilizations work.

232 >>> Billie Bigass is a no talent hack who sounds like she is falling asleep when singing. Boring ass rot.

Unlike other pop tarts she has actual talent that doesn't need to be auto tuned. I watched a video on her brother-producer creating her song for the Barbie movie. She layered her own vocals without all the extra digital wizardry. It's sad though when genuine gifts get squandered.

Also, everyone knows she owes a LOT of her success to the fact her brother is a genius heavyweight of a music producer. He brought so much to her songs. So I did get really annoyed when she won a lot of awards early in her career and was like, see we ladies can win too, screw men! Lady, you owe your brother, a man, for a huge bulk of your success. Maybe be less screechy about the men ruining everything.

291 How come all the white people who use the phrase "stolen land" own more land than the Indians* it was "stolen" from?

*on the Rez, no one owns the land, the tribe owns the land.
That's why the Rez is such a shithole for most of the residents. Why fix or keep up your house when it belongs to the "tribal elders" who can order you off of it at any moment?
A perfect little picture of real socialism in practice.

292 That's already a thing.

Put about 3 minutes' worth of thought of plugging lyrics into Suno, and it will spit out a complete song for you.

Udio takes a little bit more effort than that, but not a lot more.

AI generated stuff is already pretty good. Some of Skyebrows' most recent stuff like "Nvidia, Fuck Yeah" (basically the Team America song with different lyrics and an added guitar solo) is super impressive. Much better than today's paint-by-numbers pop crap.

I think Suno's current rules (which, since they haven't been codified into law by any official body, won't mean anything until someone sues them) are that if you are a free user, the company owns the rights. If you are a paid user, you do (but only for songs generated while you were a paying user, it's not retroactive).

You really can't make this up. From the new Vogue profile of Gavin Newsom: 'Let’s get this out of the way: He is embarrassingly handsome, his hair seasoned with silver, at ease with his own eminence...lithe, ardent, energetic, a glimmer of optimism in his eye; Kennedy-esque. Add to that his stunning wife and four adorable kids, and the executive strut of a self-made millionaire.'
Posted by: Anonosaurus Wrecks, Damn It Feels Good to Be a Trumpster! at February 02, 2026

If I steal a bunch of money from other people, does that make me a 'self made millionaire'? I mean, i guess coming up with scams to move other peoples money to your pockets is 'work' but i think that phrase is doing a lot of work there. Also, the guy has serious ferret face going on and his hair is about 40 years out of style.

Wanna be brave and shocking in Current Year? Wear a button-down shirt and slacks and put on a straight show of real music made with actual instruments and classical structure with more than a hook, a verse and a half and a chorus.

*That* is how you shock the squares. Bad Bunny wearing a dress and chanting in front of a high-tech drum machine is pretty passe. Nothing special or remarkable about that.

Stolen land? Stolen from who? From the Injuns? Last I checked they were American Citizens. It's STILL their land.

Sure, they were treated like shit back in the 19th Century, extending up into the 20th. But it's not my problem if they pissed away their lives drinking fire water and insisting on living in those rural ghettos that most reservations turned into. The smart ones have fully integrated, and are captains of industry, even being elected to Vice President (Republican Charles Curtis, under Pres Hoover).

Classic manipulation attempt by despair-baiting. Or blackpilling, if you will.

"It's all one big repulsive club" implies a meaning that every single person mentioned in the files (even if said mention proves they rejected Epstein's invitations) is tainted.

This will resonate with the segment of the population who doesn't have agency and attribute their circumstances to the latest conspiracy theory.

"You can't vote your way out of this" reinforces that loser baiting. Because it's also vaguepoasting without proposing a solution or option (also engagement bait, so the 'solutions' will be in the deranged replies)

Avoid anyone who weaponizes pessimism, especially if they're doing it for attention points.

423 For over a decade I have prayed for evil and corruption to be revealed. And here we are!

I don't remember the last time I watched an awards show. From photos in the UK DM today it is a freak show. Then they all Ice Out. Like any of them have an original thought or bother to read about ILLEGALS and crime. Because they don't care, being the hollow vessels of satan they are.

I can barely look at the tatted freaks. Women, especially, will someday regret turning their arms and bodies into smeared, sagging colors that look like bruising from Coumadin. We used to use Silly Putty during Civil War times to copy the print of the Sunday "funny papers." That's similar for their skin. I admire anyone who does not go this way or have their faces pierced to be cool.

While the pig nose septum ring is ick but makes me laugh at the absurdity of being strong women in their peanut sized brains (and the snot issue)...it is the eyebrow piercings that blow what is left of my mind. I know it would bother me and I'd have a perpetual headache. Which could explain a lot of their mentality.

I noted evil, satanic, Gaga bleached her eyebrows and looks ick as usual.

450 I read of Cher's senile dementia moment on stage. I guess all of that silicone has finally been absorbed in her cranium and her brain bounces around in her noggin like a bouncy ball.

Pity she did not break out in song and shimmy a bit. But she'd probably fracture a hip. Was her young black boy toy there?

See! I get my news, plenty of it unwanted, from headlines and photo scanning. Other than $$$ why would anyone want to bed Cher at this point? I wish we could ask Sonny but he's very dead from hitting a tree skiing too fast. Anyone on skis knows to avoid tree wells. Or if you are not that good to not ski into areas with trees.

I guess Chaz has no control of her and vice versa. Poor Chaz (I think his/her/it's name was Chastity, which is wild).

My point is, "99% of the public loves it!" isn't right.

99% of the people who chose to buy tickets liked it.

If the 99% are just going to like the movie no matter what, does that make the 99% a good measure of the film's quality?

460 Hot take: Jazz sucks. Arrhythmic bullshit for people so stoned they think it's great.

I have spent many hours in jazz clubs in New Orleans and never found anything that I thought was musically "good." There are some very talented musicians in there but holy crap play something good please.
Posted by: ballistic
=======
Bebop is definitely as you describe but Trad Jazz aka Dixieland jazz is not. Preservation Hall is where Trad jazz is king but there are some jazz clubs around the US still that will have trad jazz on occasion along with universities.

And New Orleans, is a percolating city where the trad jazz merged with the blues to become something else which merged with pop, and so on.

And trad jazz is related to rag and rag time way back.

But the point is that jazz musicians play off each other (as do orchestral musicians with a director intermediating). In jazz, at least, you often never hear the same performance again as each player is going off the others. You get similar arrangements but different performances.

AI not so much due to the way it is made.

The Amazon Prime Video film documents his rise in the 1990s as a trailblazing exótico wrestler who gained popularity despite facing homophobia in the sport.

The 99 percent have skin in the game as they paid admission, critics often do not. A lot of Western civilization's problems stem from people with no skin in the game telling other people what they should and should not do, like and should not like, etc.

The classic derivation of this in the social sciences was the masses are asses versus the idea that the masses can form their own preferences and likes by experience even if they cannot verbalize it.

I fall in the latter camp. If the masses want to be entertained, then that is fine and good no matter what critics think. Same with sportsball, I find it useless but others do not.

Auteurs (mass media, ESPN, etc) expect that the public should follow their lead on cultural tastes as they are the artists presuming to have closely studied such.

Did Oprah and Gail arrive flaunting (harfing at the thought).

I will have to dig around to see if Alison Krauss won for bluegrass, which is all I cared about as she is lovely and still has the best female voice around for anything. I would think she would not bother to go to this freak show.
