Lizzo just turned out for the most nominations 2022 Grammy Gala

Lizzo has now revealed that he has received the most 

nominations at the 2022 Grammy Gala, with a total of eight categories thought to be outstanding recently. While at home, Lizzo is not part of the mainstream at any level, America has long been spoken of as the next big pop star in the digital age

Lizzo has been nominated for this year's Grammy in eight categories:

Best New Artist

Album of the year

Best urban contemporary album

Add year

Song of the Year

Best pop music solo

Best R&B show

Best traditional R&B performance

 this is a category that has existed since 2013, which puts the less mainstream hip-hop, R&B and other contemporary, metropolitan, African-American genres under one hat.

It is not uncommon for someone to get more than half a dozen nominations at Grammyn, such as Kendrick Lamar in 11 categories for three years, and Michael Jackson and Babyface, who had a year in 12 categories, for the absolute top. However, it is quite unusual for a performer who is still a new figure outside of Anglo-Saxon countries to be nominated first in this category. However, digging a little deeper into Lizzo's career, we realize that he has everything he needs for a modern pop star in the digital world.

 

 The story of Lizzo (Melissa Viviane Jefferson) began exactly as that of most emerging African-American artists. As a child, they moved with his family a lot, lived in Detroit, Houston, Minneapolis, and Denver, four different states, and worked continuously to break into the music industry as a performer. He thought so seriously that

 At the age of 21, he lived in his car for a year just to spend all his money on his music career.

Eventually, he began playing music more seriously in Minneapolis, was a member of several formations, and released his first album, Lizzobangers, in 2013, which didn't make the breakthrough, despite being re-released by the Virgin label a year later, and for example, the Guardian was up there for the album. However, the critical success was certainly good enough to attract the attention of the specialist press and to be among the speakers worthy of attention in the future.

While constant moving and rootlessness may have been particularly difficult in childhood, Lizzo had a very good influence on his musicality. On the one hand, she sings and raps very well, growing up in a highly religious family, listening to gospel and studying flute at a music university, and on the other hand, she is influenced by the music culture of Detroit and Houston. And later he came to Minneapolis, where he learned the production part of music making and then worked as a backing singer with Prince on the Plectrumelectrum album. He was also heavily influenced by a lot of rock bands that are less suited to the canon of African-American music, such as Radiohead, Death Cab For Cutie, Björk or Replacements, and classical music.

It can simply happen that someone with this level of musical background, education and talent cannot break into the music industry; Lizzo was not helped purely by his musical education in getting this finally worked out. Not exactly that typical pop star physique, Lizzo, however, as an overweight singer, did not try to adapt to the expectations of the entertainment industry with a stomach ring or self-indulgence, but took the plunge and assumed that she would look and feel beautiful. In addition, he is very self-conscious about his own pedigree and not only tries to convey body-positive messages in his music, but also draws attention to the innate ability of his skin that no one can take away from him and make him a "wonderful black masterpiece

 

As an overweight black woman, Lizzo found herself through pop music and then, in today's much more tolerant world, her calculations. In the woke era of acceptance, it works well enough from a marketing point of view that, instead of uniform kittens of the 90s, youngsters faint from a cool but cool woman. And there is nothing surprising about it, since it is much easier for the average person to identify with an artist who takes on the talents and flaws than with a perfect Victoria Secret model. Lizzo even does it with a shovel, using only plus size women as background dancers.

Over time, Lizzo began to seriously engage the American public, not only for his music but also as a phenomenon. She appeared as a plus size model on an LGBTQ fashion show, featured on the front pages of several fashion magazines, and dressed in advanced cultural circles, and has grown into a pretty slow, inevitable phenomenon. On the one hand, he became a favorite of the African-American community for daring to stand against racial discrimination, and on the other hand, he became a celebrated star in the gay community, and his fans started calling themselves "lizzies" from lesbian and Lizzo wordplay. (Lizzo defines her sexual orientation as a queer, meaning she refuses to accept any unequivocal label.) Third, she has become a role model for overweight people as an emerging pop star who begins to become more known without even trying to make a cat doll herself. would have the appropriate material and existential background. But this is still not enough for mainstream success, especially as today's mainstream world-renowned female artists often blend their art with their own objectification, be it Cardi B, Nicki Minaj or Iggy Azalea.

In one line of the song, Lizzo talks about taking a DNA test on herself and finding out she is "100% the slut" who has boy problems, but quickly overcomes them and throws the man who pulls her off. . These two lines then began to spread on TikTok and, interestingly, they began to debunk racial, religious and national stereotypes with them.
