Grammy Awards Slammed As Racist Over Excluding Black Stars From The Posthumous Musical Tribute Segment Of The Show

Natalie Cole

A report in London's Daily Mail newspaper reveals the U.S. based Grammy Awards are being slammed on accusations of racism. Recently, legendary singers, Natalie Cole and Earth, Wind And Fire founding member, Maurice White, died in separate incidents from illness. Cole sold over 30 million records in her lifetime and won many awards, including Grammys. Cole has many memorable, beautiful songs that are big hits. White and his band Earth, Wind and Fire have sold over 100 million records and won many awards, including Grammys. I got the opportunity to see them play live years ago and they were fantastic. Earth, Wind and Fire are true musicians.

However, based on reports, African-American Cole and White have been left out of the musical tribute segment of tonight's show, in favor of recently deceased white singers David Bowie and musician/vocalist, Glenn Frey, a member of the top selling band, the Eagles. It makes no sense that Cole and White can't be included in the musical tribute segment. Even 30-seconds of a top song by each such as Cole' "Unforgettable" White's "September" or "After The Love Is Gone" Bowie's "Let's Dance" and "You Belong To The City" by Frey from the Miami Vice soundtrack. It's not difficult to pull this off.

 

Maurice White

I wouldn't particularly call the Grammys racist. The Grammy awards committee has given many awards to minorities who are black, Hispanic and Asian. However, the Grammys have changed in the past few years and it now has issues with award rigging and bribery that has led to a complete imbalance, in that a number of awards are being given to undeserving recording artists and those who engage in copyright infringement and criminal copyright infringement (Chris Brown Slams The Grammy Awards In Online Tirade). 

I don't know what they are playing at omitting Cole and White, who have made huge contributions to music. As stated above, I do not think the Grammys are racist, but something else is going on regarding the snub, that probably falls under the category of some other music industry politics and foolishness. Let me guess, some spoiled brat of a modern star wants to indulge in a long performance to promote some new, nonsensical song and album that isn't even original, so the tribute section has been shaved down. Do the new cultists running the Grammys know so little about music that they failed to realize what Cole and White have done in entertainment history. 

Side Bar: Either way, I won't be watching the show, for its aforementioned behavior in awarding thieves Grammys and now being controlled by a crazy Hollywood cult (Kabbalah), rather than intelligent industry experts. The stuff passing as music now is disgraceful (and unoriginal).

Now the Grammys have a race problem: All-white tributes under fire for celebrating Bowie and Lemmy but not Maurice White 

Published: 13:45 EST, 13 February 2016 | Updated: 14:57 EST, 13 February 2016 - It is still unclear whether the late Maurice White will be included in this year's Grammy Awards live tributes, as producers scramble under time constraints and pressures to diversify the show. The musician, songwriter, producer and founder of the band Earth, Wind & Fire, died last week on at the age of 74 after suffering from Parkinson's Disease for decades. 

Page Six reported: 'Industry insiders are griping that White and Natalie Cole have been banished to a video tribute package with others who died in the past year.'  Maurice White, who died on February 4, and Natalie Cole, the singer-songwriter and daughter of Nat King Cole who died on December 31, will be relegated to the video tribute package. White was the founder of Earth, Wind & Fire (pictured). The band which will receive a lifetime achievement award, but the ceremony is held a separate event that isn't televised 

The Grammys, set to air on Monday night, will see an all-white tribute section to remember David Bowie, Glenn Frey of the Eagles, and Lemmy from Motorhead. An insider told Page Six: 'The tributes they’ve confirmed are all white. As of yesterday, there was no tribute at all for Maurice because Grammy producers said they didn’t have time...

The Truth And Scandal Behind Rihanna’s 'Anti' Album Delays

Rihanna promoting her repeatedly stalled new album "Anti" and its artwork featured in the background

A real mess has been percolating and erupting behind singer Rihanna’s recent career decline that hit full speed in 2015. The promiscuous, lewd, cocaine addicted alcoholic experienced three flopped singles in a row (“Four Five Seconds” “B***h Better Have My Money” and “American Oxygen”) which put a massive dent in her career. Producers have been fleeing the project, though she has been having sex with them in exchanging for demanding some of their better songs.

Rihanna’s label has been complaining behind the scenes in the industry about her behavior. Rihanna joined the Kabbalah sect at Madonna’s insistence and that of mentor Jay Z, with a pile of backend deals that are unorthodox, unethical and constitutes financial crimes. However, the devil worshipping Kabbalah Center sect, whicht experts label a cult, has turned Rihanna into a raging drug addict and alcoholic, in conduct that has damaged her career and health.

Rihanna has run up massive bills at her record label in trying to restart her seriously stalled career. The label is not happy with the number of producers, scrapped recordings, the size of her entourage and massive accommodation fees. Record label employees are complaining that she is also extremely difficult to work with, stubborn, arrogant, won't listen to advice and instruction.

They also complain her delusional ego has her thinking she is on the level of Aretha Franklin and Barbara Streisand and deserves the same treatment and perks. She is not listening to their advice and dragging execs all over the world in her crazy bid at getting her career back on track. They are exasperated with her behavior. Some employees are also shaking their heads at her sleeping with industry executives like a groupie looking for deals.

The label sought a well known, legendary female singer’s input for Rihanna’s forthcoming album. However, said music industry legend heard then saw horrible things regarding Rihanna’s behavior and fled the project. The legendary singer was sought to give the project some credibility and improve her crappy vocals, but made a run for it saying she is one of the most spoiled, arrogant and “evil” stars she has ever encountered.

A major broadcaster contacted the legendary singer and warned her off Rihanna as well, stating she is so immersed in Kabbalah, which promotes drug addiction among members of the sect and uses mind control, making them easier to control, that her behavior has become intolerable. The broadcaster informed the famous female singing legend that Rihanna is “satanic.” The legendary singer, who saw some of Rihanna’s rotten behavior, backed out of the helping with the project as a result.

Music Legend Aretha Franklin Gives Candid And Unintentionally Humorous Opinion Of Contemporary Singers Taylor Swift And Nicki Minaj (Video)

 

Music legend Aretha Franklin is known for being the voice of a generation, as her voice set the soundtrack to many classic songs during the history changing civil rights era in America. She is officially "The Queen Of Soul" due to her extraordinary voice, poise and social relevance throughout the decades. Many consider Aretha the greatest female vocalist of all time.

 

Aretha Franklin tried to be diplomatic

"The Insider" television show decided to ask Franklin to give her opinion on select contemporary singers and the answers were unintentionally funny. First of all, they were wrong to ask a singing legend about entertainers, who are not known as exceptional vocalists, as no good could possibly come from this without turning the music legend into a liar (LOL). "The Insider" should have asked Franklin which singers she thinks is the most promising, not run down a list by name.

 

Nicki Minaj

In a touching moment, she referred to the late, great Whitney Houston as a true talent. That is so true. Over the years there were so many times I could not believe the quality and magnitude of the voice coming out of Houston's mouth. She was a phenomenal talent. However, when asked about Taylor Swift, Franklin responded, "Okay. Great gowns, beautiful gowns" and regarding Nicki Minaj, known for her butt, the music legend stated, "Hmm. I’m gonna pass on that one." The video, posted above, has people in stitches. The moral of the story is don't ask people questions you don't want answers to!

Beyonce

Beyonce has fallen afoul of quite a few people, due to things she has said and done. Her new raunchy image, lewd lyrics, a slight against Aretha Franklin and constantly stealing people's music, videos and images, has caused offense among many. Her press has been looking quite bad as a result. 

Report: Beyonce To Scrap First Two Singles And Album Due To Public Backlash And Scorn

Beyonce

According to Media Take Out, singer Beyonce, A/K/A Seabiscuit, has reportedly scrapped the first two songs from her forthcoming album and the CD as well, as frankly, the public thinks it sucks. The ill-fated song that cemented public view on the project is the arrogant track "Bow Down/I Been On" where she instructs other female singers to "bow down" to her out of alleged envy and respect.

But now Beyonce is the one whose decided to quickly "bow down" to public pressure, scrapping the project. So, Beyonce, how does the ground you wanted everyone else to hit taste. The Bible says, "Pride comes before a fall."

Somewhere Aretha Franklin is laughing at this development. As well as Franklin, Whitney Houston and Barbara Streisand sing, I've never heard any of them say or sing something so ungracious and haughty to their contemporaries or the newer generation of singers coming up. Not to mention, if singer Aaliyah hadn't died, she would have repeatedly left Beyonce in the dust.

What Beyonce needs to be doing is getting that G.E.D. and learning to write, rather than stealing everyone else's copyrights and accepting Grammys and royalty checks for committing felonies in breaking federal and United Nations' law (Beyonce Steals Again But This Time From Sam Cooke, En Vogue & A European Artist). Her brazen history of property theft will forever taint any alleged accomplishments in her questionable career and as the Judiciary Report always states, history has a way of correcting itself. Just ask Lance Armstrong...

[BEYONCE DRAMA!! Entire Album May Be SCRAPPED . . . And Pushed Back Until THIS FALL!!!]

March 19, 2013: MediaTakeOut.com learned that there is UTTER DISARRAY in Beyonce's camp - with word coming out that her album may not be released until "THIS FALL." The album was originally set to be released in just a few weeks.

What's wrong - the TWO songs that were so far released (NUCLEAR w Kelly and Michelle, and BOW DOWN) have been panned as "FLOPS" by music industry insiders. Tells a person close to the QUEEN, "No one thought that both records would fall flat. They were supposed to be her biggest two songs off the album."

So what is the plan now? Well MediaTakeOut.coms snitch tells us that it is now UNLIKELY that Beyonce will release AN ALBUM - and possible not even a SINGLE before she begins her world tour next month. The insider explains, "It's back to the drawing board. More recording, until [they] get a great album."

Beyonce Phoned Obama Upset About Lip-Sync Rumors

Beyonce to Michelle Obama: you know I want Barack, right!

The U.S. Marine Band threw singer Beyonce under the proverbial bus for being the first person in history to lip sync the national anthem at a presidential inauguration. The embarrassing dubious distinction as too much for Beyonce to bear and according to reports, she call President Obama complaining about what happened. Shortly after, the White House clammed up about the issue when asked by the press and the Marine Band changed their tune from she definitely lip-synced to we're not sure.

Why is Beyonce throwing her head back like that and opening her mouth like she is at the dentist and she is not even singing

Ironically, days before the incident, the Judiciary Report compared Knowles to steroids cheat Lance Armstrong. Days later, mainstream publications are comparing her to Armstrong for cheating when performing the anthem (Beyonce Slammed By Mainstream Newspaper As A Hypocrite). The question is what was she doing the night before that she couldn't sing on the day of the inauguration.

Barack Obama and Beyonce Knowles

Many people are laughing at and criticizing Beyonce online for this major fiasco and she hates it. Hence the complaint to the President, who is rumored to have conducted an affair with Beyonce. Even legendary singer Aretha Franklin cracked a joke at Beyonce's expense, "When I heard that I just really cracked up. I thought it was really funny, but she did a beautiful job with the pre-record." Sarcasm anyone. Go Sister Re (LOL).

Beyonce's First Two Singles From Her New Album Flop

Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce Knowles is on a losing streak. The first two unoriginal songs from her forthcoming album have bombed on the charts. Public feedback has been lukewarm (and that's being generous). The singles "Girls" and "1+1" failed to make any kind of significant dent on the music charts and have been greatly criticized by music fans and bloggers alike.

This is the first time Beyonce has experienced a flop from one of her albums or projects with former group Destinys Child. As the Judiciary Report warned regarding her months before her ill-fated singles were released You're Only As Good As Your Last Hit.

The music industry has become a joke. Barely passable singers, pretending to be skilled songwriters, by stealing others preexisting copyrighted works, passing them off as their own to the public, then collecting millions in undue royalties, in deeds that can only be described as racketeering.

There are so many gifted songwriters in America and all over the world. However, they are not getting the chance they deserve to be heard, in favor of a creativity stifling monopoly that exists in the music industry, where outsiders are not welcome, unless they are willing to sign away their rights and be terribly exploited, in favor of untalented people that have dug their heels into a sector of business they have no talent for. To be clear - stealing is not a talent. it is a crime.

Beyonce

The careers of so many modern mainstream artists, such as Beyonce and Britney Spears, are completely rigged. Payola to gain airplay and sales scams to falsify success via gold and platinum plaques. Awards are heaped on them for fraudulently claiming to do and be things they simply are not - multi-talented.

This is done by labels and management companies in support of an illusion, to create well-rounded artists. However, to do so with the current clay that is lacking the skills in question, they must commit fraud, criminal copyright infringement and grand theft, in stealing others valuable music that is protected by law.

The farce has gone too far, discrediting the music industry to a worldwide audience. Let me leave you with this fact to illustrate my point, regarding the disgraceful disparities, due to the blatant thievery and brazen fraud.

Beyonce, who is frequently sued for stealing other people's copyrighted songs, in criminal violation of U.S. and international law, as she deceitfully placed her name on stolen property and collected millions in other people's money in doing so, has won 19 Grammys in 10 years.

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin can sing her butt off, play the piano and has written some of the music she performed - and she was won 16 Grammys in 55 years. How do you explain that. Beyonce couldn't walk a mile in Aretha's shoes, doesn't have a fraction of the talent and stole all the songs she claimed to write, as illustrated by lawsuits and public complaints, yet has more Grammys in 1/5th the time. Once again, the entertainment industry has become a massive farce that lost all credibility.

Why is everyone on "American Idol" so selfish, egotistical, ruthless and conniving. From Simon Cowell to Carrie Underwood, they simply don't care about anyone other than themselves and the spotlight, which they would sell their souls to the devil for.

Aretha Franklin's Privacy Violated In Cancer Battle

Aretha Franklin

The National Enquirer broke news this week that legendary soul singer, Aretha Franklin, has been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. The newspaper has a history of having engaged in such conduct against other high profile figures, such as Patrick Swayze. Such conduct should constitute a violation of HIPAA laws, as the information is often obtained illegally.

The eye-catching hat legendary singer, Aretha Franklin, wore to the inauguration of U.S. President, Barack Obama, is the subject of a lawsuit, filed by milliner, Luke Song, as numerous rip-offs of his original creation have been released in the marketplace.

As it is his original design, he is the one that is legally entitled to profit from it. The companies that pilfered it should pay damages for stealing, as such conduct is unethical and unfair.

Alicia Keys Outed For Stealing Music

video link

A video blogger, Alcove, has outed Sony singer and songwriter, Alicia Keys, for stealing music and melodies from 1970s musicians. The clip on Youtube is pretty compelling, if you know the current songs in question, Alicia Keys penned for herself and others, such as Whitney Houston's "Million Dollar Bill."

As I stated last week, Houston's new album contains infringements, such as the song "Salute." Sony engaging in their usual thievery.

All this thievery is so unnecessary. All Keys had to do was license the music, but wanting all the glory, she stole it. It would have looked better than just taking it and pretending their music never existed and you just came up with it on your own.

I also noticed Keys poached "I Never Loved A Man (The Way I Love You)" by Aretha Franklin for her debut single "Fallin."
