Readdressing the hate on “The British Album of the Year: Harry’s House”
Harry styles have always made the headlines may that be for his outsold shows, the iconic fashion statements or simply for an insight of his personal life. We all know not all the articles have always been in the positive light for the star. Though he has always only believed in “treating people with kindness”, he personally have received very less of it in his share.
Harry recently had been nominated under maximum categories in the Grammys and the Brit’s (industry’s biggest awards) and won his fair share as well. But did the win gain him the kind of positive attention he deserved? More like he was still shaded for competing against the biggest music stars and winning against them.
Last year in May Harry released his biggest album yet. With ‘Harry’s house’ making the biggest LP of the year (2022) in the UK, it was at the top of the charts for SIX non consecutive weeks in the same year compared to the others.
The lead single of the album ‘As it was’ made the same magic as that of the parent album topping all the charts and ending up as the top song in the singles chart in UK. The song still appears in the top 10 across Spotify, Apple Music and many other music platforms.
Even with all the fame the album and the song has received (both in terms of sales and streams), the parent of the album still receives all kinds of hate for getting appreciated at award shows.
It’s only a week when Harry styles won ‘album of the year’ at the Brit’s against major music stars like Beyoncé and Adele. And ideally it should be a compliment to the rising (or should I say, already a self-made legendary) star; we have all witnessed the kind of hatred Harry received for winning.
While most of the entertainment profiles appreciated and congratulated Harry for the well deserved win; there were & still are many others who shaded him for winning. There are still some official accounts blaming or defaming Harry for receiving the award because they think the other opponents for the same category were much better and deserved the award more.
Well, we all have our own favourites when it comes to music. And we all have different tastes and preferences. And it is understandable that you would want your favourite album to win at an award show but that does not mean the other person is not qualified. If the song/ the album was not qualified enough to win the said category why would it be nominated in the first place?
The real question here is, will it still be a raging debate if it was someone else apart from Harry styles who won the award?
Will the media react the same way they did if perhaps any other emerging artist won against Beyoncé or Adele?
The artist has always been humble and accepted the treatment he was given socially and never really reacted to the negative shame he was attributed. But does that really make it okay to keep going? Is it still alright to pull him through the mud every time he receives compliments for the great things he does??
And lastly, when would people / media stop using Harry styles as an ‘object’ to get views on their pages or to gain attention and likes on their social media??
