Reply to comment by Shdqkc in [OC] Spotify Streams by Every Song Nominated for "Song of the Year" At The 65th Annual GRAMMY Awards by dvd5671

The lyrics being written by the singer, the singer playing an instrument and never lip suncing doesn’t make a song or album any better or worse though

Ok, that's fair. Those things should not prevent a song from winning but the artist should not be in the running for artist of the year.

And also, again, the "best" song is so subjective. Maybe a song that a singer wrote themselves, based on their own life experiences, that they have a real emotional connection with, is "better" to me than one that a song writer wrote and the actual performer saw for the first time 5 minutes before it was time to lay it down on the record.
