Dixie Chicks
 

What the fuck, they won best album of the year. fucking bullshit.

tbh Not Ready To Make Nice is a decent song.

It is a pretty decent song, but still. I don't think they deserved all 5 grammys they got.

Well fuck, were the Grammys ever credible? What do you expect?

Dixie Chicks are good.

I was just about to make a post about this. I listen to country somewhat, and I honestly can't say I recognize this song. Them winning these awards, especially Country Album of the Year or whatever, just shows how off this contest is. First of all, I wouldn't neccessarily consider the Dixie Chicks country, they are more pop. Second of all, nobody who listens to country listens to or likes the Dixie Chicks. It is almost like a slap in the face to the genre, a bunch of artistic snobs giving them the award.

Can't really think of any awards show in any media which truly awards the best and brightest talent on offer.

they are the most aggrivating group ever. even worse than green day

Dunno, Green Day are pretty fuckin terrible and annoying

:lol:Most of the acts put up for the country grammys are "pop" country.

I'm not sure if it's worth laughing at the rest of your bitching specifically, so :rofl:

helps when all of the grammy voters are bleeding heart liberals

Anyway, I'm surprised people still get so worked up for the Grammy awards. Seriously, are y 'all that naïve?

lol my girlfriend put it on and I wasn't about to piss and moan about it, but I did get irrated when I saw pumpkin face Natalie start spouting off at the mouth about how the Dixie Chicks got screwed.

I'm pretty sure they won as an apology for the way they were all but crucified for what they said about 9/11, Bush, etc.

Well lets face it, they're part of a pretty damn Conservative scene and they essentially said 'FU Bush' quite publically, though death threats and bulldozing piles of their records is a wee bit over the top...Just a wee bit

freedom of speech goes both ways though.

Death threats are an abuse of it, and pathetic

For conservatives? That was a goosestep in the park.

the death threats are excessive, but people have every right to boycottthem if they want to.

I love how they constantly try to curb freedoms yet are the first ones to cite them when put between a rock and a hard place.

ofcourse, I wasn't commenting on that, more the fact that it was so venomous.

it just annoys me when any aritst makes political statements and then gets offended if there is any backlash. OF COURSE THERE"S GONNA BE BACKLASH!!!

Yes, death threats are a fair tradeoff for "We're ashamed of Bush."

god damn it kane i just said it wasn't fair.

And I say you didn't.

I like about 4 Dixie Chicks songs. And that may be stretching it.

If you don't even listen to country you shouldn't even care.

Who said they didn't listen to country?

Kurt Angle.

But seriously, does winning this award really validate them as the creators of the best album of the year or are people going to believe what they want?

That's why I don't rightly get the bitching, TBH. The grammys are bullshit, like any other award show, and we should all know it. There's no way DC or RHCP should really get that many awards, there's no way many of these artists should get awards period, but they will.

wtffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff I haven't even heard the song and it wins song of the year? Fuck me.

Kids these days :roll:

Sure, you are right and I did read what else you had to say in this topic. But explain to me why other artists, who said far more...'colourful' things took no backlash.
I'd say because they were perceived as weaker and easier to attack, because they were women. That's bullshit in it's own right.

Also, the Dixie Chicks didn't get offended by it, they shrunk and hid. Now that more people are seeing things the way they did a long time ago, they came back with a "I told you so" song. Everyone calls them brave and gives them a ton of "we're sorry awards" and life goes on.

The song's ok, but not 5 grammys good, but they were owed a big apology by their peers that said nothing in their defense.

:y:

It always amazed me the shit the Dixie Chicks got for saying what they did.

Slayer should have won every Grammy ever

I agree with Skippord

Well, their album WAS #1 for a good month or so when it came out, SOO...

Maybe we should just make Kane Knight dictator of the world.
