At least Avril has won lots of Junoโs, which are basically the Canadian version of the Grammys.
To my knowledge, Avril is not banned from the Grammys and has never said anything bad about them. She has only said she wants to win one.
For what itโs worth, Britney Spears has only ever won one Grammy and it was for Best Dance Recording for Toxic. She may not be what some would consider โtalentedโ but sheโs an iconic artist with many accolades and fame that you would expect to win more than one Grammy. I guess itโs not always a popularity contest.
Ariana Grande is probably one of the few pop acts who is both popular and someone most would consider to be talented. She was nominated 4 times, twice for Best Pop Album, but didnโt win any. And sheโs a superbly talented vocalist with a big fanbase.

Your post says it all Just because youโre not familiar with an artist who sold over 25 million records doesnโt mean the rest of us are. Exactly, I had to google the person.

We also add that the female singers are the least awarded and suffer some discrimination (see what happened this year to Lorde). In any case, even to those who have deserved grammy, has not been nominated in the following years, as happened to Alanis Morissette, which has continued to produce records of enormous quality and success. If that jury really rewarded the contributions to the music and the uniqueness of the work I think that the other records of Avril would have deserved them. UMS is an interesting mix between pop-rock and alternative rock tendencies. TBDT is the latest masterpiece of pop-punk. GL is a jewel that makes an interesting use of symphonic instruments and above all the Avril voice reaches full maturity. Maybe I'm not partial, but AL is a record that in the future will be re-evaluated for having taken over the old teen-pop/power-pop by inserting it into the actual current and fresh style (the Asian public managed to capture this element of originality).I think that Avril does not lack the reasons to receive coveted awards. in my opinion the juno awards are much fairer and more transparent

Yes besides that, the Grammys have received backlash for a lack of female representation this year. Lorde was the only female up for Album of the Year and also the only AOTY nominee who wasnโt asked to perform. Alessia Cara was the only female artist to win in a major category. The head of the Grammys spewed some bullshit about women artists needing to โstep upโ more and some other guy said they didnโt have time to include everyone. They wanted it to be a โbalancedโ show. How is it balanced if youโre not including the only female artist?
The Grammys havenโt been taken seriously for years now and now with this latest incident, they have dug themselves a deeper hole (ironic, considering so many were wearing white roses last night to support the #MeToo and #TimesUp campaigns). Avril may be better off not being associated with any of it.

Stay away?! Lmao she hasnt been nominated for anything but her first record. Avril isnโt in-tune with politics. Iโm sure if sheโs nominated, she would happily perform and attend.

Totally agree. And this false hypocritical politicism behind which they hide isn't the least close to the real suffering of non-privileged women.

Hi guys, I'm back from holidays and it was really good to take some time off from reality. I have been reading all the latest news about AL6 and the only think thing I can say is that for those thinking that FEBRUARY is THE month, don't be so anxious. If I remember well, February is the month for wrapping but no the month in which we are getting the single. I may be wrong but we'll have to keep on waiting a lil bit more and be ready for what's coming! BTW I am really hyped for Avril's description for AL6 and everything that may come with it.

Welcome back! Yes, you are right. But I hope we'll get some hints about her songs or the album in February as things wrapping up, moreover some bts pictures from the upcoming album photoshoot or maybe from the music video. Also, Ferlazzo said it's probably gonna be ready this month, and it's clear Avril's having a break now, so I hope she's having her usual holiday before the era begins officially. Which is I think can happen any days when she gets back to LA to work on the promo shoots and other things like this. I am really positive now. We have been waiting for so long, and if everything goes smooth with the process, a new era is only a matter of weeks for now

I don't think Avril needs a smash hit to get a nomination again, praying didn't hit the BB top 20 and got one. But isn't Avril banned from the grammys? I heard she said something about the Grammys years ago, I am not sure that's why I am asking. Also don't you have to apply for the awards? Like you send your songs to the staff in the grammys and then they decide who gets the nomination. Maybe that's why Girlfriend did not get one, Gf is way better than Despacito IMO. I don't like Bruno Mars that much I feel he's like a Michael Jackson wannabe. IMO lorde has the best album of the year, it's like Under My Skin 2.0 for me. Melodrama deserved to win AOTY but what to expect when Lorde was the only one from that category who couldn't even perform... And I'd be happy about any other winner (Kesha, Kelly Clarkson, P!nk, Lady Gaga) for Best Pop Solo Performance than Ed Sheeran. He didn't even deserve Best Pop Vocal Album IMO.
I really don't care about Grammys anymore, these awards mean nothing nowadays, you can have an album that is both really popular and praised by critics, be nominated in several categories and at the end lose to a mediocre album and don't win in any category...

I agree with โnikiโHer musical director said the album is wrapping in this month (which is almost over hurray, I seriously felt this month like 5 years) and she said the album will be completed end of next month. For me it may mean the photoshoot, music video shoot, getting ready for the era finally begin, so maybe she will get a new website, hints about the new single (title, sounding) aaaand maybe some official thing. I am not saying february is THE month but maybe we will get some news. Who knows.

Agree best years of our lives was her best collab, a good song and they sound great together. I hope theyโre still friends, Evan references her quite a lot on his Instagram stories. Iโd love for them to write together again
