By far the biggest winner at the 62nd Grammy Awards was Billie Eilish, an 18-year old singer-songwriter
YOUTH PREVAILED at the Grammy Awards, “music’s biggest night”, hosted in Los Angeles on January 26th. By far the biggest winner of the 62nd edition was Billie Eilish, an 18-year old singer-songwriter . She became only the second artist to achieve a clean sweep in what are regarded as the “big four” categories—Record, Album and Song of the Year, and Best New Artist—and the youngest-ever winner of the Record and Album of the Year categories. She also won Best Pop Vocal Album.
He was succeeded by Deborah Dugan, who oversaw changes to the Academy’s voting body and a more diverse list of nominees for this year’s awards. Then, just days before the ceremony, she was accused of bullying and suspended. In response, she alleged that the nomination process was rigged , that she was sexually harassed by Joel Katz, a lawyer connected to the Academy , and that Mr Portnow had raped a foreign artist and Academy member .
Indeed, the awards managed to be just what was needed. Mr Portnow’s reign came to be marked by astonishing misjudgements—such as giving the Best Album prize in 2015 to Beck rather than Beyoncé. The nominees this time roughly matched public taste, indicating that the Academy had finally woken up to the shift in popular music away from the old men of rock.
