Doesn't matter to me, I don't follow the Grammy's. But I did a quick read of some of the changes, they could cut the "Rap" awards to 0 and I would be okay with that.:D

Considering how popular Metal music in all it's guises is world wide, it deserves a separate category....but just one for best band/song/album. But seeing this is "America centric" then I doubt that will ever happen.

The Grammy's no longer have the clout they used to anyway, the music world is Huge and global now and I have collected more European bands the last 4 years by far than American/Canadian bands.

I'm devastated that the "Best Hawaiian" album category is being dropped.

Today is not a good day.

^^The Native American award is gone as well...I am not sure if you are "avving me on" about the Hawaiian music being removed or not TH.:think:

Cutting 31 categories and I bet there's still 60+ left.

(no I didn't read the article, the grammys are a farce like so many other awards, I'm just guessing)

Tiny Bubbles...in the wine...make me feel happy....make me feel fine...:oyea:

No argument there except for the genre I mentioned that can't go extinct fast enough to suit me.

I would like to see some Prestige for quality production values given more weight. There is no excuse for shoddy recordings being lobbed out there now. But those awards are all given early like the article mentioned.

I think the Grammy's have been irrelevant for quite a while even though it is still the standard bearer for awards in the music business.

I agree with you. Improvements could be made to some of the awards.

That said, I don't even bother watching the show anymore.

I'll never forget the year that Jethro Tull won the Grammy for best Metal album.
