AI Thread Summary
The discussion around the 2024 Grammys highlights a general dissatisfaction with current music trends, with many expressing that contemporary artists produce subpar work compared to past generations. Critics argue that the Grammys serve more as a marketing platform than a genuine recognition of artistic merit, contrasting it with the Academy Awards, which are perceived as more legitimate due to actor voting. Miley Cyrus receives mixed reviews; while her rock covers, including Led Zeppelin songs, are appreciated, her commercial success raises concerns about authenticity. Additionally, Taylor Swift's influence is underscored by the introduction of a course at Harvard dedicated to her work, reflecting a growing institutional interest in her impact on music and culture.

Grammys 2024: Key Winners ?? I sampled each , about 10 seconds was enough. What a load of slop. I can sing that bad. And this is what this generation likes today ? Try playing that slop in the 60s or 70s

I like Miley, unfortunately she does stuff that sells. Her voice is pretty good, she can sing rock and she did a really nice cover of Jolene.

There is a neighboring thread Cover songs versus the original track, which ones are better? https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/cover-songs-versus-the-original-track-which-ones-are-better.1050205/ which is an endless subject and as colorful are the posts there. I came across a Buddy Holly cover by Eva Cassidy only to find out that the Buddy Holly song was already a Paul Anka cover. Anyway, both artists who had covered the song have passed far too early in their lives. That gave me the...
The piece came-up from the "Lame Jokes" section of the forum. Someobody carried a step from one of the posts and I became curious and tried a brief web search. A web page gives some justification of sorts why we can use goose(s)-geese(p), but not moose(s)-meese(p). Look for the part of the page headed with "Why isn't "meese" the correct plural?" https://languagetool.org/insights/post/plural-of-moose/
