WEBVTT - DFH- Silk Sonic Skip the Grammys

0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.920
<v Speaker 1>Direct from Hollywood with Ryan Seacrest. If you ask music

0:00:03.920 --> 0:00:06.960
<v Speaker 1>insiders and awards experts, it was all but a luck.

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:09.880
<v Speaker 1>It's silk Sonic, the sultry funk deo that Bruno, Mars

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>and Anderson pack makeup, will be nominated in multiple categories

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and next year's Grammys and be a frontrunner for several

0:00:15.200 --> 0:00:17.360
<v Speaker 1>of the show's biggest prizes. But the Gentleman opted to

0:00:17.560 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>not even submit their album and evening with Silk Sonic

0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>for consideration, and it isn't in protest, similar to other

0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>artists like The Weekend whose boycotted it for a few

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>years now. The primary reason is that they felt like

0:00:28.040 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>they already won, and that's not entirely untrue. They did

0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 1>take home four trophies last year for their lead single,

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Leave the Door Open, including Song and Record of the Year,

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 1>but their full album arrived after submissions were closed, so

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>they could have gone for more. But Bruno tell's Rolling Stone,

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.840
<v Speaker 1>we truly put our all on this record, but Silk

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Sonic would like to gracefully and humbly bow out of

0:00:46.200 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>submitting our album this year. We hope we can celebrate

0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>with everyone on a great year of music and partake

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:53.520
<v Speaker 1>in the party, thank you for letting Silk Sonic thrive.

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>Anderson simply adds they'd be crazy to ask for anything

0:00:56.960 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>more that's direct from Hollywood.
