CNN thinks Adele beat Beyonce at Grammys because of racism. #FakeNews (death, carry)

I have no use for either of these people but Beyoncé is downright annoying and can't sing.

It's like a participation trophy.

Adele won because her music appeals to a wider range of audiences. I know both teenagers and senior citizens who like Adele. Therefore there were more people who were willing to vote for her to win the award.

You really can't objectively say that one deserved to beat the other. It is all about taste. But you can objectively say that people saying Beyoncé lost because of racism every time someone else wins something is getting really old.

you know this isn't true. LOL. Sure she maintains an image, like all artists do...even Adele has image consultants and stylists and public relations people, but Beyoncé CAN sing. Beyoncé has multiple songs that aren't just pop dance songs where she just stands there and straight up sings. And at the end of the day, like I said in another posts, there's a reason Adele was on stage gushing over Beyoncé, she's knows who's better.

Beyonce', the black Susan Lucci.

Ok, that's not bad.

I have only heard 'Hello' from Adele's album so I can't compare the two albums, but Beyonce's had some good songs on it. They're making this into a race issue because according to them, Beyonce's album was an ode to black women and was "too black" to win. Or maybe Adele's 25 was just the better album

Beyoncé is by far a better singer, she is also a better performer as well. There's a reason Adele was on stage gushing over Beyoncé. Even Adele knows this. I understand people may have whatever little petty political reasons they hate Beyoncé but stop acting like she's not a highly talented singer and performer.

You have a right to believe the Blowancy is better than Adele. The vast majority of everyone else recognizes Adele is a once in a lifetime talent.

Instead of educating you on reading comprehension, I'll just point out the poster you responded to here never mentioned "soul music". One can have a "soulful voice" and sing something other than "soul music".

In one scene in the movie, Dreamgirls, the character played by Beyonce says of the character played by Jennifer Hudson, "But SHE has the stronger voice!" And it was true of the real actresses/singers.

It's the same here. Adele has a much stronger, richer voice. That's not even a question. Beyonce can sing, no doubt about it. She has a lovely voice, and as people have pointed out, she is more of an entertainer and very much a woman who uses the "sex sells" principle to augment her singing talent and sell herself. That's not a put-down--it's just factual, and she's certainly not the first woman to use her beauty and sexuality to augment a just-good-enough singing talent. She is not relying just on her voice. And judging by her popularity, it works well for her.

So the overall question is not a matter of race at all, but rather a contest between someone who is purely musical and someone who adds a lot of trimmings beyond music, and ultimately, how the people who decide the Grammys view the difference.
