Hamilton OBCR- Grammy Album of the Year? — Page 2

It's a fine recording (not my favorite King and I recording or anything) but why the heck would that album win the Grammy for Best Album?

Although, like many have said, it is highly unlikely, Hamilton winning would have such a positive impact on Broadway and musical theatre as a whole. I would expect to see a huge surge in seats across the district, a huge surge in Hamilton prices, as well as a huge surge in Broadway's location in culture if this were to happen. Combine this with its Drama Desk, Tony extravaganza, LMM's Genius awards, many interviews and all else that will come, and the show will be unstoppable.

Actually, her album has received pretty good reviews from Rolling Stone magazine and the NY Times.

I like Taylor Swift's 1989, but it is still formulaic pop music.  It does not bring anything new to the table.  I think Hamilton crosses genres and is truly groundbreaking.   It also seems to have support from the music industry too, as we see week after week music industry royalty attending performances.
