Beyonce and Adele are both talentless trash heaps. They should both be reduced to utter poverty.

What's so bad about Adele?  I'm not her biggest fan but she has a good voice and her songs are well-written (and she actually writes her own music).

Award shows are more about money than talent.  It's disheartening that people still watch these overhyped beauty pageants, honestly.
I agree.

She's from Hollywood and thus I automatically hate her and assume she's lazy.

Adele is better than Beyonce, and it has nothing to do with race.

just fundamentally false. Adele owes everything she has to better Motown artists from the 60s, 70s, and 80s.

Adele basically admits that, by the way.

the only thing I'll grant Adele is that her "homage" is more tasteful and honest than, say, Amy Winehouse or Sam Smith.

{insert almost any contemporary megastar pop artist} owes everything they have to better Motown artists from the 60s, 70s and 80s.

Woah, did Maxwell put Amy Winehouse on the same level of Sam Smith? Bit much man. Smith is just a bleh blue eyed soul loser, Winehouse was more of an artist even if she was done in by her self-destructive tendencies.

(Not that I'm a fan of this tedious retro stuff, although the two worst offenders of recent years haven't been mentioned yet).

Adele votes Labour, so she may get what you wish for.

Beyonce's good but I just don't really get why she's so earth-shatteringly amazing that this conversation happens every time she (she specifically) is nominated for something and doesn't win.

Adele is more talented as a singer-songwriter than Beyoncé, even if Beyoncé has arguably had a bigger impact on popular culture and is much more daring.

Speaking as someone who couldn't care less about the Grammys or Beyonce or Adele, I'd say that trying to argue that the woman who has won 22 Grammys already and holds the record as the second highest number of Grammys won by a female artist denied yet another one due to racism is a pretty damn weak case.

Furthermore I'd also say that even caring about who won the award in a category where Justin Bieber was nominated is pretty absurd. The Grammys have about as much credibility as the Teen Choice Awards.
