I think it's a commentary on how barren Popular music has become that one person can collect 32 Grammys from one General style of music. Back in the day (yes, I'm gonna go there,) there was enough talent to go around that a broader section of musicians could receive a Grammy award. Today, you have the usual suspects who come up on stage year after year, voice cracking, tears welling, teeth as white as a doctors lab coat, claiming..."I can't believe it...oh wow!"

But some of us...aren't fooled.

It's just the big guys back-patting themselves, and has been for 40 years at least. There's so much good music out there.

I know, that's my point, the Grammy Committee (or whatever it's called) doesn't seem to know there are a lot of really good musicians out there other than the usual gang and especially more than just Beyoncé. The back-patting has grown exponentially since around 40 -30 years ago.
