Jon Batiste pronounces Latin names during Grammy 2022 nominees announcement

Even though there have been an outrage over his nominations at the 2022 Grammy, Jon Batiste has been widely praised for ‘correctly’ pronouncing names of Latin artists in the nomination announcement.

Jon Batiste has one job, and he understood the assignment (at least, majority of Twitter users loved his output). He was handed ten Latin dominated categories to announce.

The “Best Latin Pop Album,” “Best Musica Urbana Album,” “Best Latin Rock Or Alternative Album,” “Best Regional Mexican Music Album,” “Best Tropical Latin Album,” “Best Golabl Music Performance,” “Best Global Music Album,” “Best Children’s Music Album,” and “Best Spoken Word Album,” were announced by him.

And right after the announcement, Grammy followers took to Twitter to praise him.

“I appreciate @JonBatiste taking the time to pronounce everyone’s name carefully and properly! Can he read nominations every year? Lol” Twitter user Vanessa Vega-Rivera said.

While he received praise, others trolled him for struggling to pronounce the names.
