The Grammys®

The Grammys®. are no better than any other music award show. It's the award that's supposed to honor accomplishment across the broad musical spectrum, for performance & production. The actual TV show is ghastly, the award itself almost meaningless to the few superstars who collect them by the dozens during the programs.

Comments:
They have changed the program over the years to be less inclusive of the actual awards and more inclusive of performances. As of late, they have gone into the mash up of different artists playing together, like 2000 or 2001 when Elton John first teamed up with Eminem. Now the show is just a giant concert with about ten awards given out in the three hour telecast. Before, there were usually maybe five small performances, and the rest of the show was about all the awards in all the categories and the artists, writers and producers coming up to get their grammy and give their speech.

I haven't watched it in years, but I did watch last night because there was so much bad press about it. I liked the performances, for the most part, but like I said, the meager presentations of the top ten awards doesn't suit me. I'd rather have less visuals and more reality to the show.
 
What's with this trust fund baby Taylor Swift? !% milk rising to the top. She should have knelt & kissed the hem of Stevie Nicks' dress.
