Billie Eilish joined Bad Bunny in speaking out against ICE during her acceptance speech at the Grammy Awards, slamming the organization after winning song of the year for “Wildflower.”

The singer was bleeped as she said “fuck ICE,” giving strong commentary during the speech. “Thank you so much. I can’t believe this. Everyone else in this category is so amazing. I love you so much,” she said, standing next to her brother Finneas. “I feel so honored every time I get to be in this room. As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land. And, yeah, it’s just really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, and I feel really hopeful in this room, and I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter, and fuck ICE. That’s all I’m going to say. Sorry. Thank you so much.”

It's nice to see the media allowing people to criticize the government again. Sure fuck ice was bleeped but it's still getting out. The more outspoken the people are the more the media can't ignore it and must show it. Especially famous people speaking out since they always have an outlet to the masses.

The Grammys are broadcast on CBS. Broadcast TV has to follow FCC rules about profanity. Not bleeping fuck would mean pretty hefty fines, and IIRC those increase based on viewership. Cable and streaming services don't have to follow those same rules.

There are clips that are not bleeped, including the clip on the official Grammy Youtube channel, because that was only done for the broadcast version.

Honestly, in an award ceremony, they would probably get more attention if they bleeped out all the comments and not just the cuss words. It’s probably the reason CBS is no longer going to host the Grammys after such a long time.

She is correct and very cool of her to say so.

Popular music was the anti-Fox News back in the day, but it dead now.

Nice to see the echoes tho.

Edit: not sure what people are taking away from this but just to clarify, I liked the popular music that was anti-Fox news and appreciate the current popular musicians doing what they do. It’s just that the music industry - suspect in the best of times - finally succeeded in killing itself and what we have now is some American Idol game show / hype influencer Frankenstein that’s both worse and not popular.

The effect of which is that “Fox News” stands alone.

Most art is that way, because art of any relative depth takes you into consideration and therefore probable empathy, and thus not a Republican.

I applaud the sentiment, but that honor is held by Stephen "PeeWee Himmler" Miller.

Noem wishes she could aspire to being as nasty an asshole as he is.

That's a really great, quotable line. She's got a way with words, almost like she's an award-winning lyricist.

you mean that no one's illegal on stolen land? cause that's been used for decades now lol

[–] brendansimms@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

this comment section is heavy on the "socially liberal, fiscally conservative" vibes

[–] rockettaco37@feddit.nu 10 points 1 week ago

Good. Fuck ICE indeed!

I cannot have more respect for a person than I have for Billie.
