Niente da fare per Madame X, nuovo disco di Madonna che si è dovuto accontentare di una candidatura per i migliori REMIX (Rise).
I Grammy 2020 hanno svelato le proprie nomination, che vedono Norman Fucking Rockwell! di Lana Del Rey tra i migliori dischi dell’anno insieme a Billie Eilish, il fenomeno Lizzo (8 nomination, nessuno come lei) e Lil Nas X, primo storico rapper di colore dichiaratamente gay.
Tra le nomination per la canzone dell’anno anche Always Remember Us This Way di Lady Gaga, tratta da A Star is Born, e Lover di Taylor Swift.
Immancabile anche Beyoncé, in corsa con Spirit e The Lion King: The Gift, mentre fanno piacere le candidature per il nostro Andrea Bocelli e per la mitologica Barbra Streisand. Unica grande assente tra le categorie principali, ingiustificata mi viene da aggiungere, Madonna. Nominarla per un REMIX non suo, poi, fa davvero tanto di presa per il culo. I 62° Grammy Awards andranno in onda il 26 gennaio.
