Justin Bieber Enggak Datang ke Grammy Awards 2017, Inikah Penyebabnya?

Berita di balik Justin Bieber enggak datang ke Grammy Awards 2017 banyak mengundang spekulasi. Masalahnya untuk Grammys tahun ini, penyanyi kelahiran 1 Maret 1994 untuk pertama kalinya mendapat nominasi. Enggak tanggung-tanggung, Justin mendapat nominasi dari albumnya, Purpose, untuk Song of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best Pop Solo Perfomance, dan Album of the Year.

Lalu, kenapa ya Justin Bieber enggak hadir ke acara yang penting untuk karirnya sebagai penyanyi tersebut?

Protes Enggak Mendapat Nominasi

Balik ke tahun 2012, ketika Justin merilis albumnya Believe, dan jadi namanya lagi terkenal banget, ia justru enggak mendapat nominasi Grammys. Ketika itu, Scooter Braun, manager Justin, dengan lugas menyatakan protesnya tentang nominasi yang dianggapnya enggak adil. Lewat medsos Twitter-nya, Scooter membandingkan Justin Bieber yang sukses dengan albumnya dengan Carly Rae Jepsen, yang saat itu adalaha penyanyi baru dan langsung mendapatkan dua nominasi untuk Grammys.

I don't know about these award shows.. No disrespect to anybody at any of the shows or the people running it. Nothing but love for you guys and your support. But I don't feel good when I'm there nor after. I try to think of it as a celebration but can't help feeling like people are rating and grading my performance. A lot of people in the audience there to be seem worried about how much camera time they will get or who they can network with. When I'm doing a regular show I feel they are there for the right reasons and to strictly have a good time! But these award shows seem so hollow. I get the premise is to award people for their accomplishments, but is it really? Because when I look in the audience I see a bunch of fake smiles so that when the camera hits them they look happy. Sure there are people truly proud of others so I don't want to knock them I'm just looking at the vast majority. I just think to myself if I'm living my purpose I want the reward to be fulfillment. I'm getting awarded for the things that I'm doing and not for who I am which is understandable I know it would probably be hard to calculate and award someone's spirit lol. But When I do get these awards the temptation of putting my worth in what I do is so hard to fight!!!I am privileged and honored to be recognized by my peers in but in these settings I can't feel the recognition. There's an authenticity missing that I crave! And I wonder does anybody else.. Sorry not sorry about grammar it's not my strong point

Kembali ke tahun 2016, ketika Justin menyatakan opininya tentang sebuah penghargaan musik setelah tampil lip-sync di Billboard Music Awards, dia curhat lewat medsos Instagramnya. Intinya dia mengatakan kekecewaannya kenapa karya seseorang hanya dinilai dari seberapa banyak penghargaan yang didapat. Apakah teori ini bisa jadi salah satu penyebab Justin yang enggak datang ke Grammys?
