When Beyonce lost to Beck for Album of the Year at the 2015 Grammys, a lot of people had a lot to say - especially the number one Beyonce stan on the planet, Kanye West. While there might have been other ways for Kanye to articulate his point, his outburst did bring back the age-old question: Are the Grammys even relevant?

Ed Sheeran's "Shape of You" is the longest charting song in Billboard history and has over 3 billion views on YouTube but was not nominated for a single major award. Regardless of how you feel about the song, that kinda smells like a snub. He has a pretty positive response to being left out, but not all artists have expressed their feelings as gracefully. From 50 Cent to Sinead O'Connor, theses celebs have let the Grammys know exactly how they feel.

The noms aren't the same but that doesn't mean you can't play the game. Get a little crafty with the adjustments and drink at your own risk while you enjoy the 2018 Grammys.
