Whoopi Goldberg Slams Fox News Critics Over Beyoncé’s Country Album Grammy Win

Whoopi Goldberg has entered the chat. During the Feb. 4 episode of “The View,” the talk show host slammed a Fox News guest and conservative author named Raymond Arroyo who appeared outraged over Beyoncé’s Grammy wins, especially for receiving “Best Country Album.” “Dolly Parton has 10 Grammys. Frank Sinatra had 11 Grammys. Beyoncé has 35. How is that possibly commensurate with that talent? I mean, come on. What people don’t know about the Grammys is everybody votes in every genre. You can vote in up to 20 genres. So, basically, Lady Gaga’s cat sitter votes for best reggae and best county album, so that’s why you get this ridiculous outcome that has nothing to do with the country audience or the country musicians,” he said to Laura Ingraham on Feb. 3 during her program, “The Ingraham Angle.” However, the EGOT winner made it clear Tuesday morning that she had no time for the pundit’s remarks. “Sir. Sir! Are you aware that you have to be in the music industry to be a Grammy voter? So, the cat sitter cannot just vote, let’s start with that,” she said forcefully, later adding, “Listen, man. You can’t do that. She earned it. The thing you have. You want to hold on to country music like white people didn’t also buy her country album? Come on, man! People voted for it. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t. Same with the Oscars. Sit down!”
