Grammy <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ai-generated-song-mimicking-drake-and-the-weeknd-submitted-for-grammy-exec-says-its-absolutely-eligible" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CEO Harvey Mason Jr</a>. issued a clarification on Thursday to a statement he made to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/05/arts/music/ghostwriter-whiplash-travis-scott-21-savage.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The New York Times</a> about whether a viral AI-generated song, made to sound like Drake and The Weeknd, was &#8220;absolutely eligible&#8221; for an award.
The Grammy Awards, Recording Academy chief initially was asked by the NYT if the song &#8220;Heart on My Sleeve,&#8221; which was created by an anonymous artist known as Ghostwriter, would be up for consideration in next year&#8217;s competition after the artist&#8217;s team said they had submitted the song in two categories for the 2024 awards, best rap song and song of the year, according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/grammys-ai-drake-the-weeknd-song-eligibility-harvey-mason-1235585193/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.
Mason told the NYT, &#8220;As far as the creative side, it&#8217;s absolutely eligible because it was written by a human.&#8221;
A backlash ensued against him and the CEO went on social media to clarify earlier comments.

&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry, but I have to clear up some of this bad and really inaccurate information that&#8217;s starting to float around,&#8221; <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cw6xctbOH79/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mason said in a video</a>. &#8220;This version of &#8216;Heart on My Sleeve&#8217; using the AI voice modeling, that sounds like Drake and The Weeknd, it&#8217;s not eligible for Grammy consideration.&#8221;
&#8220;Let me be extra, extra clear, even though it was written by a human creator, the vocals were not legally obtained, the vocals were not cleared by the label or the artists and the song is not commercially available and because of that, it&#8217;s not eligible,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;I take this [AI] stuff very seriously,&#8221; Mason continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s all complicated, and it&#8217;s moving, really, really quickly. I&#8217;m sure things are going to continue to have to evolve and change. But please, please, do not be confused. The Academy is here to support and advocate and protect and represent human artists, and human creators period.&#8221;

An <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/artificial-intelligence" target="_blank" rel="noopener">AI</a>-generated <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music" target="_blank" rel="noopener">song</a> made to sound similar to real-life artists Drake and The Weeknd has been submitted for <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/grammys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grammy</a> consideration, per <a href="https://variety.com/2023/music/news/ai-generated-drake-the-weeknd-song-submitted-for-grammys-1235714805/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Variety</a>.
The song “Heart on My Sleeve” started gaining traction earlier this year after it was created by an artist known as Ghostwriter. Though the vocals are computer generated, the lyrics were written by the person behind that name, which makes the song a contender for the best rap song and song of the year categories.
Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. explained in an <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/05/arts/music/ghostwriter-whiplash-travis-scott-21-savage.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a> with The New York Times that the song is “absolutely eligible because it was written by a human.”
“We’re not going to be giving a nomination or an award to an AI computer or someone who just prompted AI. That’s the distinction that we’re trying to make. It’s the human award highlighting excellence, driven by human creativity,” he said in a July interview with Variety.
The Recording Academy made allowances for the use of AI as long as human creativity was still involved, with one example being Paul McCartney enhancing the late John Lennon’s vocals for a Beatles song.
“If three or four Beatles are singing on the record, and one of the voices [has been sonically enhanced by] AI, it’s still a live human performance with a more than di minimis amount by The Beatles,” Mason said. “Therefore it would be eligible.”

Mason continued, “What we intended to say was that material using AI can be submitted, but the human portion of the of the composition, or the performance, is the only portion that can be awarded or considered for a Grammy Award. So if an AI modeling system or app built a track — ‘wrote’ lyrics and a melody — that would not be eligible for a composition award. But if a human writes a track and AI is used to voice-model, or create a new voice, or use somebody else’s voice, the performance would not be eligible, but the writing of the track and the lyric or top line would be absolutely eligible for an award.”
The music exec also praised the person behind “Heart on My Sleeve” specifically, saying the artist was “creative.”
“From my perspective, this has been an exercise for [Ghostwriter] to try and establish a dialogue and create some awareness around the possibilities and what are going to be some of the potholes,” Mason told the outlet in July. “I hate to put statements in his mouth, but my feeling is that he understood exactly what he was doing — he knew this was going to be controversial.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/ben-affleck">Ben Affleck</a> set the record straight in a recent interview about the viral clip in which he appears grumpy while sitting next to his wife <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/jennifer-lopez">Jennifer Lopez</a> at the 2023 Grammys.
The 50-year-old actor said he&#8217;s gone to previous awards shows and been &#8220;pissed off&#8221; or went to them and &#8220;been bored,” but this year&#8217;s Grammys was not the case, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/ben-affleck-air-production-company-grammys-memes-justice-league-1235353301/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Hollywood Reporter</a> reported.
&#8220;I had a good time at the Grammys,&#8221; Affleck said. &#8220;My wife was going, and I thought, &#8216;Well, there&#8217;ll be good music. It might be fun.&#8217; At movie award shows, it&#8217;s speeches and, like, sound-mixing webinars. But I thought this would be fun.&#8221;
&#8220;I saw [GRAMMY host Trevor Noah approach] and I was like, &#8216;Oh, God.&#8217; They were framing us in this shot, but I didn’t know they were rolling,&#8221; he added.
&#8220;I leaned into her and I was like, &#8216;As soon they start rolling, I’m going to slide away from you and leave you sitting next to Trevor.&#8217; She goes, &#8216;You better f***ing not leave,’” Affleck continued. &#8220;That’s a husband-and-wife thing. I mean, some of it is, I&#8217;m like, &#8216;All right, who is this act?&#8217; Like, I don’t keep up. My wife does, obviously. And yeah, it is your wife&#8217;s work event.&#8221;

The &#8220;Gone Girl&#8221; star said he&#8217;s gone to awards shows and &#8220;been drunk, a bunch,” but no one &#8220;ever once said I’m drunk” until this year. Affleck, a recovering alcoholic, has been very open about his sobriety struggles.

That raises a whole other thing about whether or not it&#8217;s wise to acknowledge addiction because there&#8217;s a lot of compassion, but there is still a tremendous stigma, which is often quite inhibiting. I do think it disincentivizes people from making their lives better.”
The &#8220;Deep Water&#8221; star was previously married to actress Jennifer Garner for more than a decade. The two share three kids. Lopez and Affleck rekindled their romance in 2021 and finally walked down the aisle at a chapel in Las Vegas in July 2022, 18 years after they got engaged for the first time.

Madonna, whom critics called “unrecognizable” during her appearance at the Grammys in early February, with some remarking she looked as if she had undergone plastic surgery, deflected by lashing out at “ageism and misogyny” while focusing on “close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera.”
But on Monday, Madonna fueled speculation with a post that suggested that she may indeed have had plastic surgery.
“Look how cute i am now that swelling from surgery has gone down. Lol,” she tweeted.

After her Grammys appearance, where she introduced Kim Petras and Sam Smith ahead of their satanic-themed “Unholy” performance, Madonna’s fans offered comments such as “Madonna needs to stop with the plastic surgery and embrace the aging process. She’s nearly unrecognizable at this point,” “Me attempting to ignore the fact that Madonna has a whole new face,” “Omg, did you see Madonna at the Grammys? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO HER FACE? She looked monstrous. It was shocking,” and “Madonna is unrecognizable.”
Comedian Tim Young joked, “Madonna looks good for her age … if her age is 2,700-year-old vampire who eats babies and small animals alive.”

“Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in,” she continued. “A world that refuses to celebrate women pass [sic] the age of 45 And feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong-willed, hard-working, and adventurous.”
“I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come,” she complained. “I look forward to many more years of subversive behavior — pushing boundaries — standing up to the patriarchy — and most of all enjoying my life.”

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/madonna">Madonna</a> responded Tuesday to fans and critics who were surprised by her appearance at the 65th Annual <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/grammys">Grammy Awards</a> last weekend.
Photos of the 64-year-old <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">pop star</a> quickly went viral as social media users said Madonna looked “unrecognizable” at the show. They speculated that she had extensive plastic surgery and other cosmetic procedures, though none of those rumors have been confirmed.
“Madonna looks good for her age… if her age is 2,700 year old vampire who eats babies and small animals alive,” comedian Tim Young wrote in a popular <a href="https://twitter.com/TimRunsHisMouth/status/1622433002847604736">tweet</a>.
Now the “Like a Prayer” singer has issued a response to all the questions in a lengthy Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoYOdzSA5mj/">post</a>.
“Instead of focusing on what I said in my speech which was about giving thanks for the fearlessness of artists like Sam and Kim — many people chose to only talk about close-up photos of me taken with a long lens camera By a press photographer that would distort anyone’s face!!” she began, referencing how she introduced singers Sam Smith and Kim Petras preceding their controversial, Satanic-themed performance of their song &#8220;Unholy.&#8221;
“Once again I am caught in the glare of ageism and misogyny that permeates the world we live in. A world that refuses to celebrate women pass [sic] the age of 45 And feels the need to punish her If she continues to be strong-willed, hard-working, and adventurous,” Madonna went on.
She claimed to have “never apologized for any of the creative choices” she’s made during her career, including the way she dresses and looks. 
“I have been degraded by the media since the beginning of my career but I understand that this is all a test and I am happy to do the trailblazing so that all the women behind me can have an easier time in the years to come,” the singer continued. 
Madonna concluded by quoting the Beyoncé song “Break My Soul” and saying, “I look forward to many more years of subversive behavior — pushing boundaries — standing up to the patriarchy — and most of all enjoying my life.”

Madonna Responds To Critics Mocking Her ‘Unrecognizable’ Grammys Face

Madonna Responds To Critics Mocking Her 'Unrecognizable' Grammys Face

This week, the Grammys were held in Los Angeles. They featured a star-studded cavalcade of singers who can’t sing, songsters who require a team of dozens to write their songs, and dancers who can’t dance. They also featured a full-on Satanic ritual onstage, starring used-to-be-just-a-gay-dude-then-genderqueer-now-gender-nonbinary singer Sam Smith and transgender female (translation: biological male) Kim Petras. Their song, “Unholy,” won them Best Pop Group/Group Performance. Their performance, in which the tubby Smith donned a Satan outfit and top hat with horns while Petras gyrated in a cage surrounded by Satan-costumed strippers, made headlines for its transgressive imagery.
The goal, of course, is to tweak people of a traditionally religious bent, draw a response, and then act offended. “Why can’t you just leave us alone?” cry our cultural elites as they demand our attention.
We’re all supposed to be shocked, of course. That’s the point.
But the fact that the performance is so un-shocking should be the true shock. The Grammys were sponsored by major corporations. Shadow president of the United States and the world’s greatest physician Dr. Jill Biden showed up to present an award. And CBS tweeted in anticipation of the Satanic routine, “We are ready to worship!”
But the truth is that Satan is so in right now.
After all, Satan’s message has become our society’s: personal “authenticity” requires the destruction of all traditional mores and the trashing of all intermediate institutions of Western civilization. To be “free” means to live without rules or boundaries. And our truest heroes are those who say, as John Milton’s Satan did, “better to reign in Hell, than serve in Heav’n.” 
Milton meant his Satan to be a villain, rejecting the Good, True, and Beautiful in favor of personal power. But we have followed the path of dissolute romantic poet Percy Shelley, who argued, “Milton’s Devil as a moral being is as far superior to his God as one who perseveres in some purpose which he has conceived to be excellent in spite of adversity and torture.” Sure, Milton’s Devil provided no good to anyone, including himself – but he stood up to the strictures of an outside, objective moral code. It was Shelley himself who argued that “religion and morality, as they now stand, compose a practical code of misery and servitude: the genius of human happiness must tear every leaf from the accursed book of God ere man can read the inscription on his heart.”
How different are the musings of Shelley from the less sophisticated musings of Smith and Petras? As Smith says, “It really is just about how I feel.” Or Petras: “it’s a take on not being able to choose religion. And not being able to live the way that people might want you to live … I was kind of hellkeeper Kim.”
God makes demands of us. God suggests that there is a higher Truth to which we are subject, rules, and roles we ought to obey for purposes of societal strength, spiritual durability, and personal fulfillment. Satan makes no demands of us beyond the surrender of our reason, our higher aspirations, and our souls. Milton’s Satan rebelled against God. Today, those of Godly bent are increasingly fighting a rebellion against the truly dominant spiritual power of a narcissistic culture that prizes self above all, celebrated by a transgressive monolithic culture.

Oddly enough, there’s something less sinister about the over-the-top evil vibes of the 65th Annual Grammy Awards than if Sam Smith and Kim Petras had chosen a bit more subtlety.
By now, most people have seen snippets of the “Unholy” performance. Smith donned a red suit and devil horns to sing about a man abandoning his family for sexual perversion as scantily clad dancers gyrated around in a circle.
The costume was reminiscent of something a trick-or-treater might find at Party City.
Many conservative viewers reacted strongly to this “satanic” performance, which only made the Left more gleeful in their derision. &#8216;How could anyone fall for such a blatant caricature of the devil,&#8217; they wondered. &#8216;How pathetic.&#8217;
Smith, “Unholy,” the transgender artist Kim Petras, and indeed the whole Grammys broadcast weren’t really about the fallen angel who wanted to become more powerful than God, however. As many pundits rightly pointed out, modern-day Satanism isn’t usually about worshiping the devil; it’s about worshiping the self. 
And no one is better at that than Hollywood celebrities, including all the musical artists clapping along in the audience.
The whole spectacle was engineered to elicit a big reaction. Before the performance, Smith <a href="https://twitter.com/samsmith/status/1622338593808158720" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> black and white snapshots from the show rehearsal and wrote in the caption, “This is going to be SPECIAL.”
That prompted the official CBS to reply in a now-deleted tweet, &#8220;….you can say that again. We are ready to worship!&#8221;
Smith and Petras’ performance delivered the publicity it promised. Reactions were strong from everyone from politicians and business leaders to regular Twitter users who couldn’t believe how blatant the whole thing was.
“End of days vibes,” Musk <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/end-of-days-vibes-elon-musk-other-public-figures-slam-demonic-performance-at-the-grammys" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a> to a clip from the performance.
Country music singer John Rich tweeted, “The Grammys looked like hell last night. If God doesn’t bring judgement on America he’ll have to apologize to Sodom and Gomorrah.”
Even the song choice fits the theme of radical self-worship. “Unholy” is about a man who chooses sexual fulfillment over his familial obligations. Does it get much more satanic than that?
As the lyrics say:
<blockquote>Mummy don’t know daddy’s getting hot
At the body shop, doing something unholy
He’s sat back while she’s dropping it, she be popping it
Yeah, she put it down slowly
Oh-ee-oh-ee-oh, he left his kids at
Ho-ee-oh-ee-ome, so he can get that
Mummy don’t know daddy’s getting hot
At the body shop, doing something unholy (woo)</blockquote>
It’s worth pointing out that many artists choose to thank God during their acceptance speeches. It’s unclear whether that’s out of habit or because they truly believe, but it does make for an interesting juxtaposition between the “Unholy” drama and the gushing speech portion of the evening.
“I’m trying not to be too emotional. I’m trying to just receive this night. I want to thank God for protecting me. Thank you, God,” Beyonce began her speech when she made Grammy history by breaking the record for the most wins ever as she won the Best Dance/Electronic Music Album trophy.
Petras, meanwhile, thanked Madonna and the transgender community.
The German-born singer specifically thanked, “all the incredible transgender legends before me who kicked these doors open for me so I could be here tonight,” including the late electronic artist/producer SOPHIE. Petras also said, “This is a huge moment for me, Sam. Thank you. You are a true angel and hero in my life, and I love you.”
Petras, who is a male who identifies as transgender and medically transitioned at 16, also mentioned the controversy following the show.
“I think a lot of people, honestly, have kind of labeled what I stand for and what Sam stands for as religiously not cool,” the singer said.
“And I personally grew up wondering about religion and wanting to be a part of it, but then slowly realizing it doesn’t want me to be a part of it,” Petras continued. “So it’s a take on not being able to choose religion and not being able to live the way that people might want you to live, because, you know, as a trans person, I’m kind of already not wanted in religion.”
Daily Wire co-founder and host <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1662-getting-satanic-at-the-grammys-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ben Shapiro</a> summed it up well, pointing out how the satanic performance was both intentional trolling and unintentionally accurate.
“The Grammys annual trolling of traditionally moral people continued apace this year with a full-on Satanic performance from two white men, Sam Smith and Kim Petras,” Shapiro <a href="https://twitter.com/benshapiro/status/1622610253442342915" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> after the show. 
“To even note that this happened is to draw fire: “Hey, why are you even noticing? Why do you even care?” This is the Face Tattoo Syndrome™ in action: do something highly provocative, then act shocked and appalled when people are provoked.”
“But there’s something deeper happening here, too. The elite in our society are fully in line with the ideology of Satanic fealty expressed by Smith and Petras,” he went on. “So what’s the story with Satan and the transgressive ideology? For most of religious history, Satan was the great villain, an emblem of rebellion against the Good and the True, a symbol of resistance to the Holy.”
He next described how John Milton made Satan the villain in “Paradise Lost” but the poet Percy Shelley made the opposite interpretation.
“Why did [Shelley] believe this? Because he believed that the essence of ‘love’ is ‘liberty,’ that the goal of life is subjective ‘happiness,’ and that ‘religion and morality, as they now stand, compose a practical code of misery and servitude,’” Shapiro went on.
“This is the message of our modern-day Satanists as well,” he concluded. “Religion and morality are evils. Worship of ‘authenticity,’ particularly in the sexual realm, is the highest possible good. Worship Satan by worshiping yourself.”
Yes, the red cape and devil horns are overkill. They’re meant to inspire big reactions just so mainstream media can laugh at religious zealots for being ridiculous. But ultimately, the type of religion that Hollywood celebrates is Satanism, which worships the self even as they claim to be thanking God.

The ratings are in for the 2023 Grammy Awards show — which featured a &#8220;Demonic&#8221; performance by artist Sam Smith — and the show continues to struggle to bring in the audience it had pre-pandemic.
According to final same-day Nielsen ratings, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/grammys">65th Grammys</a> had 12.55 million viewers — a 31% increase from last year&#8217;s numbers — but they are still down compared to the numbers from 2020, The <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/tv-ratings-sunday-feb-5-2023-1235318741/">Hollywood Reporter</a> reported.
The show saw a record-low viewership of 9.59 million in 2022, but it had 18.69 million viewers back in 2020.
In the coveted 18-49 age demographic, the Grammys landed a 2.88 rating, which is up by 29% from last year&#8217;s showing.

However, the 2020 ceremony beat Sunday&#8217;s by 46% in the 18-49 demographic and had a rating of 5.4
Despite the low numbers compared to pre-pandemic viewership, the Grammys are still the most watched primetime network event of this season besides sports broadcasts, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
This year&#8217;s show saw Harry Styles&#8217; album &#8220;Harry&#8217;s House&#8221; beat out Beyonce&#8217;s &#8220;Renaissance&#8221; for Album of the Year. Fans of the &#8220;Crazy in Love&#8221; hitmaker reacted vocally to the upset on social media, as <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/harry-styles-beat-beyonce-for-album-of-the-year-and-people-are-upset">The Daily Wire</a> previously reported.
The show also featured a segment with artist Sam Smith wearing a horned hat while performing with Kim Petras — who is a biological male — in what many called a  &#8220;demonic&#8221; show. The two performed on stage as they sang their song &#8220;Unholy&#8221; surrounded by red lights with a fiery backdrop. Their performance also used &#8220;props that had allusions to BDSM themes,&#8221; according to <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/sam-smith-kim-petras-2023-grammys-performance-1235318368/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>.

Critics came out in force against the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/grammys">Grammy Awards</a>, complaining that the closed captioning didn’t switch seamlessly between <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/language">English</a> and Spanish while <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/music">artist</a> Bad Bunny was performing.
But many viewers saw this as an overreaction, especially since 78% of the nation speaks English at home compared to 13% who report speaking Spanish at home, per <a href="https://data.census.gov/cedsci/table?tid=ACSDP5Y2019.DP02">census data</a> in 2021. 
It all started when the massively popular Puerto Rican performing artist took to the stage singing “El Apagón” and “Después de la Playa.” The captions for the East Coast broadcast said, “[SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH]” and “[SINGING IN NON-ENGLISH]” during Bad Bunny’s mashup performance, leading some to accuse the program of “racist” behavior.
“As a Puerto Rican, Latina and Spanish speaker, putting &#8220;[SINGING IN NON-ENGLISH]&#8221; while Bad Bunny (one of the most popular artists in the world) sings in Spanish in a country with millions of Spanish speakers, is IGNORANT and INSULTING. Do better CBS,” one tweet <a href="https://twitter.com/TheAltSource/status/1622437175403896836">said</a>. 
“Bad Bunny wins a Grammy, and when he speaks some Spanish during his acceptance speech the best you can do in the close [sic] captioning is to type “NON-ENGLISH” ?!?!?  Just a little racist,” another account <a href="https://twitter.com/13thgenusa/status/1622420422229725184">agreed</a>. “Do better. Be prepared with a multilingual captionist.”
For every comment slamming CBS and the Grammys for failing to translate the captions into Spanish, there was someone saying it was ridiculous to get so worked up over it.
“Oh Jesus grow up. Stop grasping,” one Twitter post <a href="https://twitter.com/matix1983/status/1622628702763843585">said</a>. “That’s what it says on literally all closed captioning. English is the main language in the USA. The fact he was on the show is amazing. I’ve lived between the USA and Mexico [sic] my entire life. This offends no one I know.”
Others pointed out how captions can be changed to any language, and expecting the English subtitles to switch to other languages wasn’t practical. 
“Go into your televisions [sic] settings, when you do that, change the language to Spanish when you set it up. Just like you do when you get a new iPhone and set the language. Then the captions will be in Spanish or whatever language you want. But I’m sure complaints are just easier,” one Twitter user <a href="https://twitter.com/RobFairchild6/status/1622699962667597827">observed</a>.
“As a Puerto Rican, you spend too much energy on issues that have no impact on your life,” another <a href="https://twitter.com/JulioVe92014484/status/1622805583954079744">said</a>. 
Due to the backlash, CBS quickly rectified the situation by the time the Grammys were rebroadcast in primetime on the West Coast. That show included updated Spanish closed captioning for Bad Bunny’s opening performance, and the on-demand version also includes closed captioning in Spanish, per <a href="https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/bad-bunny-grammys-performance-spanish-closed-captioning-1235514408/">Variety</a>.

Did you see the Devil at The Grammy Awards <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-88-and-the-grammy-goes-to-satan-2">Sunday night</a> — the Devil being Sam Smith?
At least that&#8217;s what he dressed up as for his performance of his hit song, “Unholy.”
Did you catch who sponsored it?
I did not watch it live — I never watch these shows — but if you did, then you were treated to Sam Smith&#8217;s satanic performance of “Unholy” alongside his &#8216;transgender&#8217; musical partner Kim Petras.
The provocative number was clearly meant to rankle conservatives. We know the Left believes, &#8216;Haha, conservatives, Christians, you guys are so dramatic. You keep saying that Hollywood is demonic.&#8217;
‘Well,’ Sam Smith said, ‘Hold my beer — because you&#8217;re going to watch us in latex as we turn the entire room red and dress up like the Devil and Demons.’
Now, as the brief clip below shows, Sam, Petras, and his backup singers were adorned in red, wearing horns like the Devil, and performing a derogatory act.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Wait for it … <a href="https://t.co/9SsSKK0Mac">pic.twitter.com/9SsSKK0Mac</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The real kicker is that when it came to an end, everybody in the room applauded, and then a booming voice said, “The 65th Grammy Awards Are Sponsored By Pfizer” as the Big Pharma’s company logo displayed across the screen.
That’s not a joke.
I thought it was perhaps the most honest thing that has ever been seen on television. Hollywood applauding and throwing themselves over to the demonic? Supported by Big Pharma? Sounds pretty accurate to me.
You might be wondering what exactly the song “Unholy” is  about. Does it actually glorify sin? Well, yes, it does. 
Here are some of the  lyrics:
<blockquote>
Mummy don&#8217;t know daddy&#8217;s getting hot
At the body shop, doing something unholy
He&#8217;s sat back while she&#8217;s dropping it, she be popping it
Yeah, she put it down slowly
Oh-ee-oh-ee-oh, he left his kids at
Ho-ee-oh-ee-ome, so he can get that
Mummy don&#8217;t know daddy&#8217;s getting hot
At the body shop, doing something unholy (woo)
</blockquote>
So “Daddy” is committing infidelity as he leaves his family at home. The entire sorry excuse for entertainment speaks volumes about the state of our culture.
Sam Smith is &#8216;non-binary&#8217; — which means nothing. It just means he&#8217;s an idiot. Not only is he an idiot, but he is going to use his platform and talent to promote absolutely disgusting displays that denigrate the good, the true, and the beautiful. As I have said earlier, Sam Smith has tremendous gifts. There is no need for him to do this sort of stuff for attention.
I’m always torn about whether I should be sad or laugh at this sort of garbage.
What I do know is that it needs to serve as a call for us to insert ourselves into the culture.
Being counterculture has never been more important. Offering a different path forward — one based on faith and God — is essential at this moment.
Interestingly, Sam Smith’s Grammy appearance was so grotesque that it received condemnation from both the Left and the Right. It wasn’t universal criticism, but conservatives weren’t the only ones speaking out about it on social media.
Perhaps it helped really put things in perspective that, yes, America is battling against the Devil right now.
Many on the Left deny that the Devil even exists, let alone can see how their radical gender theory and disregard for sexual morality are works of the Devil. The far Left pushes Satanism. 
But, we all know the Devil is a liar and the Devil works to alter our perceptions of truth and falsehoods. He sets out to deceive us. Yet, even for non-Christians and non-conservatives seeing a &#8216;non-binary&#8217; man paying overt sexual homage in Devil horns while shaking it in leather pants is pretty absurd.
Perhaps people on the far Left saw that and said, “Okay now maybe we&#8217;ve gone a little bit too far.”
So if there&#8217;s any good that will come out of this, maybe it served as the most pointed warning imaginable that things have become really dark in our culture.
You now have to picked a side. You&#8217;re going to have to pick good or evil. You&#8217;re going to have to pick overt Satanism or God. It is up to you.

Rapper Aaron Carter was left out of the memorial segment on Sunday night at the 2023 Grammy Awards — after he died in November at the age of 34 — and fans are not happy about it.
During the annual awards show&#8217;s &#8220;In Memoriam&#8221; segment, tributes were given to stars that we lost in 2022 — such as country legend Loretta Lynn, Olivia Newton-John, Coolio, David Crosby, rapper Takeoff and many more, <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/aaron-carter-snub-grammys-in-memoriam-segment-050939343.html">Yahoo.com</a> reported.
Stars like Kacey Musgraves, Sheryl Crow, Mick Fleetwood, Quavo, and Bonnie Raitt gave performances to honor those who passed away last year during the segment.

However, by the end of the portion of the show that included images of lost stars like Naomi Judd, Lisa Marie Presley and DJ Stephen &#8220;Twitch&#8221; Boss, fans noticed that Carter was nowhere to be found and took to Twitter to react.

Singer Harry Styles ended up beating out Beyonce for the Album of the Year honor at the 2023 Grammy Awards, and people are not happy about it.
