Beyonce vs Adele: Debate over Grammys Album of the Year heats up as fans say 'better give Bey her flowers'
The superstar singers Adele and Beyonce are again trending as the 65th Grammy awards will take place on February 5, 2023. Various reports say that the two star singers almost certainly going to be nominated for album, record, and song of the year. Beyoncé is doing it with her dance-floor fantasy 'Renaissance' and its Hot 100-topping lead single, 'Break My Soul', and Adele is doing it with her ballad-heavy '30' and it's No 1 hit lead single, 'Easy on Me'. Also, many reports say that It would be an exact replica of the rivalry at the 2017 59th Grammy Awards.
After Adele's 'Hello' defeated Beyoncé's 'Formation' to win the record and song awards, the English singer completed her landslide victory by winning album of the year for '25.' During her tearful acceptance speech, she declared that she couldn't accept the trophy because it had been won at the expense of Beyoncé's 'Lemonade.' 'You are our light', she said to Beyoncé, whom she referred to as the "artist of my life," according to LA Times.

Adele wasn't the only person to disagree with the Grammy voters' choice. Following Beck's 'Morning Phase' victory over Beyoncé's self-titled 2013 album, artists, commentators, and music industry insiders interpreted Beyoncé's loss as proof that the Recording Academy was out of touch with a pop genre that was largely driven by Black creativity. The Grammys will return to their longtime home, the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, on February 5, 2023, after moving to Las Vegas in 2022 due to a pandemic. The academy is already anxious about a similar outcome.
The 65th Grammy Awards nominations will be announced on November 15; the online discussions about these nominations are based on predictions and speculations. Everything that could have been nominated for the upcoming Grammys has already been made available because the eligibility period for those awards ran from October 1, 2021, to September 30, 2022. These forecasts are subject to confirmation of the work that each artist has submitted for evaluation in the category, which frequently catches us off guard.
A Beyonce fan took to Twitter to express her thoughts about the competition between Beyoncé and Adele for Grammys and wrote, "Just saw a tweet about the showdown between Beyoncé and Adele for Grammys and I’m sorry I love Adele but that album hasn’t been touched since it dropped no offense. I have to be in a certain mood to listen to it. Grammys better give bey her flowers."

Social media is flooded with fans' debates about Adele vs Beyonce. One user tweeted, "YOU TELLING ME THE GRAMMYS DOES TIES AND THEY STILL PICKED ADELE & FUCKING BECK OVER BEYONCÉ #GRAMMYs." Another Bey's fan wrote, "Beyoncé deserves to win album of the year and song/record of the year. Adele’s every album sounds same and 30 sounds so basic, same and boring." One user called it Beyonce's year and penned, "It’s Beyoncé’s year. And tbh just objectively, the optics are not going to look good for the Grammys if they give it to Adele over Beyoncé again, especially after Adele told the Grammys and the whole world last time that Beyoncé should have won. Renaissance just deserves too."

Beyoncé deserves to win album of the year and song/record of the year. Adele’s every album sounds same and 30 sounds so basic, same and boring.

Adele fans joined the debate online and one of her fans tweeted, "Adele was being gracious. 30 is one of the best albums EVER recorded." One user wrote, "Beyoncé deserves but we know Adele is winning." "AND ADELE WILL WIN AGAIN," penned another user.
According to reports, an Insider of Grammy told voters to go with 'Enchanto' to avoid the debate. A user wrote, "A Grammy insider says voters could go with ‘Encanto’ for "Album Of The Year" to avoid choosing between Beyoncé and Adele. “I could see it being the thing someone votes for to avoid having to choose between Beyoncé and Adele."
