REAL MUSIC by REAL MUSICIANS - Prince

These awards are a such a snooze!! Same generic pop, same "sexy" dancing, same old same old. Nothing that is making me sit at the edge of my seat, nothing that is making me go WOW, nothing new or original! Anybody else feeling this??
And how can PR get nominated after 30 years of it being released?

I'm guessing that due to Prince's passing ,many music fans went out and bought the purple rain album
Someone want to explain what Ariana Grande has done to win Artist of the Year? I like her but she won over Rihanna and Bieber, two bigger named acts who were active than her? Her latest album is still fairly new, having been dropped in August so I doubt it was because of that.
Overall, the nominations for Artist of the Year were weak (no Drake, no Beyonce, no Adele) but Ariana winning is puzzling.

I think it's amazing that it was up for an award after 30 years. It show how great and powerful the soundtrack is and the fans made it happen.

It's awesome that PR won but let's be honest, if Prince were still with us, the album wouldn't even have been nominated.

Her fans voted for her.
Are the nominations themselves voted on by the fans as well or just the winners?

What is the point of even stating such a thing. The record has been a good seller for years without Prince's death in fact it is not even his best album.

I think it was nominated because the movie was re-released...still, doesnt really make sense to me.

What does that have to do with anything? The bottom line is PR won as a tribute to Prince's career; PR is his signature album that most people know him for because it's his highest selling and most popular. They weren't going to nominate SOTT over his most well-known release.
And be honest with yourself; if Prince were still alive, do you think PR would have started selling again and/or would have been nominated for an award? There's an obvious reason why it was (and that reason takes nothing away from Prince). [Edited 11/22/16 6:14am]
