Η Michelle Obama και οι υπόλοιπες famous υποψηφιότητες των Grammy Awards 2020, must

22 ΝΟΕΜΒΡΙΟΥ 2019 - 11:19

Το ότι τα βραβεία Grammy είναι τα δημοφιλέστερα βραβεία της μουσικής σκηνής είναι γνωστό. Αυτό όμως που δεν ήταν γνωστό μέχρι πρόσφατα είναι οι υποψηφιότητες για αυτή την χρονιά.

Από την στιγμή που τα μουσικά βραβεία απέχουν μόλις 2 μήνες –αφού θα διεξαχθούν στις 26 Ιανουαρίου- ήταν θέμα χρόνου να μάθουμε ποια πρόσωπα της διεθνούς μουσικής σκηνής και όχι μόνο, κατάφεραν να κερδίσουν μια θέση ανάμεσα στις υποψηφιότητες.

Σύμφωνα με την λίστα που δημοσιεύτηκε στις 20 Νοεμβρίου, αυτή την χρονιά τα βραβεία θα είναι γένους θηλυκού, μιας και οι περισσότερες υποψηφιότητες ανήκουν σε γυναίκες. Κυρίαρχη είναι η παρουσία της Lizzo, καθώς μετρά οκτώ υποψηφιότητες, με τις Billie Eillish και Lil Nas X να έπονται με έξι υποψηφιότητες. Μάλιστα, είναι η πρώτη τους φορά που είναι υποψήφιες για βραβείο Grammy. Τα ονόματα επίσης της Ariana Grande, H.E.R. και Finneas O’Connell πρωταγωνιστούν επίσης.

Η υποψηφιότητα ωστόσο που κατάφερε να κεντρίσει το περισσότερο ενδιαφέρον ανήκε στην Michelle Obama η οποία έλαβε μία υποψηφιότητα στην κατηγορία "the best spoken word album category" για το βιβλίο "Becoming", το οποίο έχει από τις καλύτερες πωλήσεις. "Είμαι ενθουσιασμένη που είμαι υποψήφια για GRAMMY!" έγραψε στο Instagram . "Αυτή η χρονιά ήταν μια τόσο σημαντική για μένα και έχω αγαπήσει να ακούω τις ιστορίες σας και να συνεχίζω να πορεύομαι μαζί σας. Σας ευχαριστώ για κάθε ουσία αγάπης και υποστήριξης που έχετε μοιραστεί τόσο γενναιόδωρα", πρόσθεσε η ίδια.
