Grammy Awards: three favorites for a very feminine competition

And the winner is… a winner! Tonight in Los Angeles, the Grammy Awards - which will be broadcast live on Twitter (#GRAMMYs) and in full this Monday at 9 p.m. on CSTAR - will be the scene of a competition largely dominated by women.

Leading the nominations are three artists: African-American rapper Lizzo (8 nominations), pop singer Billie Eilish (6 nominations) and new male rap-country star Lil Nas X (6 nominations also). Behind this trio, a handful of stars will try to make their mark: among them, Ariana Grande, Lana Del Rey, Beyoncé or HER

With his album called “Cuz I Love You” (and especially his hit “Juice”, Lizzo is therefore a favorite. In her revitalized rap, this young woman of 31 is annoyed against the cowardice of men and advocates self-esteem. On Instagram and in her clips, Lizzo also wiggles her XXL shapes in colorful swimsuits, which has earned her to become a face of the “positive body”, this movement that praises the acceptance of her body. Much appreciated by the LGBTQ + community, the singer calls her fans the “Lizzbians” - which sounds, in English, like “lesbians”.

Much less extroverted, 18-year-old Billie Eilish will defend her album "When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?" ("Where do we go when we all fall asleep?"). This Californian with silver blue hair, who displays a sulky look in extra-large clothes, is the icon of "dark pop".

Billie Eilish to compose the credits for the next “James Bond”

Fan of hip-hop, rap, jazz and metal, Billie Eilish has digested all these genres to sign melancholic and hypnotic titles. Thanks to her title "Bad Guy", she became the youngest artist in history to reach first place in the ranking of singles in the United States. A few days ago, Billie Eilish also announced that she would interpret the credits of the next "James Bond": she succeeds Paul McCartney, Madonna or Tina Turner.

Barely older than Billie Eilish, 20-year-old Lil Nas X could, however, disrupt this girls' duel. This singer made himself known with his "rap-country" song "Old Town Road", from his album "7" - a title which he then marketed while singing with country artist Billy Ray Cyrus , the father of Miley Cyrus. Black in a very white country environment, Lil Nas X wears fringed jackets, boots and cowboy hats. Last June, he came out on social media.
