Queen Latifah, Dionne Warwick & Bee Gees Barry Gibb at 2023 Kennedy Center Honors
- Thread starter playahaitian
- Start date
I'm sorry but I wouldn't have Queen Latifah in a lineup with Dionne Warwick, Billy Crystal and Barry Gibb.
Why?
She had hit movies, musicals, songs, tv shows and been a producer behind successful acts and projects for DECADES.
And started as a rapper... one the first successful females and one of the most influential hip hop artists period
What more you want?
just compare Latifah to
where Eddie, Cosby, Carol King, Aretha etc were in their careers - and their accomplishments
when they got awarded at the Kennedy Center
Before I respond its funny to me how many on this board are quick to say f*ck an award (not you bro)
Till someone they like gets an opportunity to get one and receives it and now its suddenly legit.
I'm looking at the winners and see your point but garth brooks got one in 2020
Clooney 2022
Hamilton in 2018
Ll cool j in 2017
Oprah got in BEFORE Santana, Billy Joel and herbie Hancock
I could go on but right there I think that's enough.
Don't blame Latifah like she ain't got a resume.
Blame the center. But based on what I'm looking at she fits in fine. They seem to be hopscotching way before her. Let that woman get her flowers.
those are bad comps
oprah dominated media for almost 30 years when she got honored
hamilton prod was pr games
the resume you holding aint going to really hold up to an honest review
Re:Barry Gibb..sad that he's the last surviving BG....

But bro...
why you acting like I'm on the nomination committee
I'm not picking names ar random
These white folks chose this is THEIR criteria
I showed you proof that according to their own methods she fits
If LL got in so should she
so you gonna just act like f*cking Santana and Billy Joel resume ain't a little bit more than Oprah in many people eyes?
Again it doesn't matter what WE think
They gonna do what they want.
I ain't never heard someone say an artist doesn't DESERVE this award.
And I ain't gonna START when it's Latifah turn.
Gawd damn it man.
Again LL got in it makes perfect sense.
Just seemed like an odd lineup but they don't do categories like most of us think
They are all deserving though
