and then to 10 in 2021, it made it trickier for the true class acts of the field to emerge victorious.While five nods still feel like more than enough for the elite categories, the decision to downsize back to eight nominees for the 2024 Grammy Awards is a step in the right direction. Still, aside from a few obvious contenders — ahem, Taylor Swift — there really aren’t eight worthy enough nominees to announce on Friday, in a live stream at 11 a.m.

against former Grammy Awards CEO Neil Portnow, accusing him of a 2018 sexual assault, and against the Recording Academy for negligence.The woman, who was not named, filed the lawsuit in state Supreme Court in Manhattan under the Adult Survivors Act.The measure, passed last year, created a temporary window for those who allege sexual assault to file past the state’s usual deadlines.In the lawsuit, the woman, described as an internationally known musician who once played at Carnegie Hall, said she met Portnow in early 2018 and had set up a meeting to interview him at his hotel in New York City later that year.She said he gave her something to drink at the meeting that made her intermittently lose consciousness and that he then proceeded to assault her.A spokesperson for Portnow, who stepped down as the CEO in 2019, said in an email that the accusations were “completely false” and “undoubtedly motivated by Mr.

Grammys, Neil Portnow, of rape in a new lawsuit.As reported by the New York Times, the suit alleges that Portnow drugged and raped the musician in a New York City hotel room in 2018.While the artist is not named in the suit, they are identified as an instrumentalist from outside the United States who once performed at Carnegie Hall. The musician is said to have contacted the Recording Academy, which runs the Grammys, in 2018 about the alleged crime.Portnow stood down from his position as President of the Recording Academy in 2019, following a backlash to his comments the previous year, when he said female artists needed to “step up” in order to have their success recognised.In a statement also issued to the New York Times, the musician’s lawyer Jeffrey R.

Fab Morvan recalls one of the last times he saw his “Girl You Know It’s True” partner Rob Pilatus before his death from an accidental overdose in 1998.It was outside the Viper Room rock club in Hollywood, California, where the fallen pop star — disgraced after the lip-syncing scandal that forced the duo to return the Best New Artist Grammy it won in 1990 — was now far from the green-eyed heartthrob he once was when they were MTV sensations.“I see a dude stumbling across the way,” says Morvan, 57, in the doc. “As he was falling, his body turned, and I looked into his eyes, and I was like, ‘Oh my God, this is not true.’ I’m looking at Rob Pilatus.”Then Morvan took Pilatus home — to what appeared to be a crack house.Nine years after Milli Vanilli had a string of chart-topping hits in 1989 — “Girl You Know It’s True” was followed by consecutive No.

Drake has submitted his collaborative album with 21 Savage, ‘Her Loss’, for Grammy consideration after withholding his previous two records.The Canadian artist, who has won five Grammy Awards in total, has missed the annual ceremony in recent years and criticised the Recording Academy’s nomination process.In 2021, Drake withdrew his music from consideration after being nominated in two categories for the 2022 Grammys: Best Rap Album (‘Certified Lover Boy’) and Best Rap Performance (‘Way 2 Sexy’ feat. Future and Young Thug).He then decided not to submit his next solo album ‘Honestly, Nevermind’ or any of its singles for this year’s Grammys.Now, as reported by Pitchfork, Drake has seemingly ended his boycott of the awards show by submitting ‘Her Loss’ for consideration at the 2024 Grammys.

SZA has hit out at the Grammy Awards, saying that the ceremony is a “thirsty, dark space” to be.During a new cover interview with Rolling Stone, the ‘SOS’ artist recalled losing all five of the Grammys she was up for in 2018 off the back of her debut record ‘Ctrl’ (2017), including ‘Best New Artist’ and ‘Best Urban Contemporary Album’.Carter Lang, who served as a producer and co-writer on the LP, remembered “feeling [SZA’s] pain of having to go rock out onstage” in the article. SZA said: “That’s weird that that happened to me on TV.“That night, right before I lost the last two, Tyler [The Creator] was like, ‘Nah, it would be so fucking weird if you lost everything and they asked you to perform.

“Take Me to Church” — released 10 years ago on Sept. 13, 2013 — it was more like “Take Me to College” for Hozier.“When I started working on the lyrics for a lot of that song, I was in college,” the suburban Dublin native — who was born Andrew John Hozier-Byrne — told The Post.

death of Sinéad O’Connor has yet to determine when the Grammy Award-winning singer died.The 56-year-old’s remains were found by London Metropolitan Police Wednesday, and while her death is not being treated as suspicious a spokesperson for the London Inner South Coroner’s Court said the singer’s “date of death is unknown,” the Daily Mail reported.No medical cause has been given for the death and an autopsy will be conducted with results taking “several weeks” to be delivered, the Coroner’s Court added.O’Connor lived in a converted 1940s warehouse just a few minutes walk from the bustling Brixton district in South London. In her last public statement on Facebook, O’Connor on July 11 told fans she recently moved back to London after 23 years and was “very happy to be home.” She added that she was finishing a new album expected to be released next year and planning a world tour, including stops in the U.S.

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga certainly appeared like the oddest of couples.That was most definitely the case when the “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” crooner paired up with the shock diva — who sang “He ate my heart” on 2009’s “Monster” — for their first collaborative album, 2014’s “Cheek to Cheek.”The two had previously worked together, on his 2011 “Duets II” LP, playfully partnering on “The Lady Is a Tramp,” the same year that Mother Monster had gone full-on zombie in her “Born This Way” video.That was about as far as you could get from Bennett’s classy, debonair style.

his death at 96 on Friday.“Tony Bennett was one of the most important interpreters of American popular song during the mid to late 20th century,” Joel, 74, told The Post in a statement.“He championed songwriters who might otherwise have remained unknown to many millions of music fans.”Joel noted that Bennett was a vaunted vocalist whose talent transcended generations and genres.“He was a unique talent that made the transition from the era of jazz into the age of pop,” he said.“I will always be grateful for his outstanding contribution to the art of contemporary music.”Joel collaborated with Bennett on the “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” singer’s 2001 LP “Playin’ With My Friends: Bennett Sings the Blues,” which won a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album.“He was a joy to work with,” said Joel.

Cardi B has reflected on the backlash she received following her 2021 Grammy Awards performance of ‘WAP’.Back in 2020, Cardi B teamed up with Megan Thee Stallion to release ‘WAP’ – a raunchy track that topped the charts across the globe. The duo then later made headlines with their performance of the hit single at the 63rd Grammys, delivering a medley of their own songs before hitting the stage together for ‘WAP’.While they weren’t nominated for an award that year – with Cardi B “blaming the internet” for not submitting the song it to the Academy – their performance did prove strongly divisive.

Grammy award.“Only human creators are eligible to be submitted for consideration for, nominated for, or win a Grammy Award. A work that contains no human authorship is not eligible in any Categories,” a description of the measure reads [via Exclaim].Despite this, a piece of music that has had some assistance from AI is permitted: “The human authorship component of the work submitted must be meaningful and more than de minimis.” This means that artists may use AI as an aid but the human contribution must be the most significant.There are no details on how the Academy intends to prove if AI is used and what is exactly is considered “more than de minimis” regarding the human element.It appears that the move has come amid conversations on the ethics of creativity and AI.

marrying the woman he loves and starring in a Dunkin campaign, he still looks like the brooding star of an Abilify commercial.Last week, he walked the red carpet with wife Jennifer Lopez for her movie “The Mother,” and the pair engaged in what appeared to be a tense back-and-forth (a lip reader assured us that they were not in the throes of a domestic). A day later, paparazzi video emerged of a seemingly agitated Affleck slamming the door of their car after Lopez climbed in.Another day, another Affleck scowl.
