Additionally in her favour: Kylie’s outdated hat at this Grammys class. The Finest Pop Dance Recording prize is a brand new complement to the Finest Dance/Digital Recording award she already received in 2004 for Come Into My World, and which she’s been nominated for 3 different occasions with Love at First Sight in 2003, Gradual in 2005, and I Consider in You in 2006. The very fact she’s getting one other stab at it 20 years on is such a feelgood storyline, the type of superb comeback the Grammys eat up.
The Grammys’ voting bloc, perennially caught at a psychological age nearer to dying than clubbing, already know Kylie, too: she’s a veteran, an icon. They don’t even want to listen to the observe to provide her this win and, generally, that’s precisely how awards ought to work. Higher luck subsequent time, Troye. Robert Moran
Why Troye Sivan’s Rush will win
Frankly, it’s a travesty {that a} music named after celebration poppers has but to win a Grammy, but when anybody can proper this incorrect, it’s Australia’s very personal pop twink, Troye Sivan, with the anthemic Rush.
The lead single from Sivan’s third studio album One thing to Give Every Different, Rush capped off an infinite 12 months for the Perth-born, Melbourne-based musician (we simply received’t point out The Idol).
Dropping final July, Rush turned the membership anthem for summer season (within the Northern Hemisphere), an unapologetic celebration of intercourse, partying and “the push”. In the meantime, the accompanying music video (additionally nominated for Finest Music Video on the Grammys), was launched the identical day and felt like Benny Benassi’s Satisfaction for a brand new era.
When you haven’t but had an opportunity to look at it, cease what you’re doing and instantly spend three minutes and 42 seconds watching a bunch of engaging younger folks dancing round whereas chanting, “I really feel the push, hooked on your contact.”
Whereas loads of music lovers (see above) are pushing for the sentimental Kylie Minogue win, sadly, I believe it isn’t to be. Finest Pop Dance Recording is a brand new class and Our Kylie is outdated information (please don’t cancel me). It additionally doesn’t assist that Padam Padam didn’t chart on the Billboard Scorching 100, whereas Rush did (certain, it solely reached 77, however nonetheless).
Not like the opposite nominees, Rush blends success and acclaim, a sexual siren name from the brand new crown prince of pop. I really feel the Rush, and the Grammys will too.
