9. Celine Dion Keeps Falling Into Grammys
Celine Dion sucks and Titanic was a shitty movie. Fine, we get it, the movie was extremely successful, so it won a bunch of Academy Awards. But did it have to ruin the Grammys, too? Riding the waves of the terrible song from the boring movie, “My Heart Will Go On” swept the 1999 Grammys, winning the awards for Record and Song of the Year. Frankly, all of the competition sucked, too, so the Grammys just failed all around that year.
A few years earlier in 1996, Celine released another awful album called Falling Into You. The album was also extremely successful, so we understand why the Grammys had to nominate it, even for Best Album of the Year. However, this album came out the same year as Odelay and Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, two crossover alt-rock hits by young artists bursting at the seams with creativity. Celine, on the other hand, was calling herself the greatest singer in the world while turning insincerity into a performance of its own. Why the Grammys would repeatedly reward that is inexplicable to this day.
