I Hate The Grammys

TwistedGypsy · #1 12-08-2005, 08:52 AM

All that the "Academy" cares about is getting ratings and selling their cd they come out with every year. Mariah Carey and Paul McCartney should not be in the same sentece. They only way you can get nominated is if you had a "popular song" with the 12-21 age group. Or if you died or if your a real artist that might be older and had sort of a comeback.
A huge WTF for the Grammys. They have been going down hill for quite sometime. Its not about whats good its about whats popular.
The f**king Emancipation of Mimi. What the hell is that???? So juvenile. And John Legend with Ordinary People. That was probably the most annoying song of the year. Talk about repetition.
I can't wait till Hip-Hop goes away, I hate it. The music carries no meaning for me. Neither does this supposed "Rock" compliments of Fall Out Boy.

Whatever, I won't be watching The Grammys this year.

I have one more comment: On The Early Show, they just said people are comparing Mariah's comeback to Sinatra's comeback. Are you kidding me??? The world as we know it is coming to an end.

Well, yeah.

No they haven't. The Grammys have always been terrible, their decisions have always been questionable at best, and they've always been more concerned with awarding popularity than any other criterion, at least in the major categories that are broadcast on television. So take a deep breath, light a few candles, draw yourself a bath, and promise yourself that you'll never get upset about the Grammys again. They're not worth your ire, or any other of your emotions.

Don't hold your breath.

I'm sorry you feel that way, but there are plenty of people in the world who would say the same thing about Stevie Nicks.

You're right. But it just felt good to get it off my chest. But I still strongly dislike Mariah Carey.

I don't care for her, either, but rather than get angry, I'm just laughing. It's hilarious some of the folks she and her music are up against.

I happen to like Mariah Carey a great deal. I know that there are some cynical comments that can be made, some of which I would agree with. However, I will say that you should listen to some of her songs that aren't released as singles. I find her lyrics to be very uplifting and touching. They reach me in a similar way that Stevie's lyrics do. While I enjoy her "hits", a lot of times it's the lyrics to her other songs that are really touching. You should check out Petals, one of my favorite Mariah songs, and Bliss and Vulnerability. I think Mariah is very talented.

As for the Grammys, I haven't really agreed with their classificiations and nominees in a long time. I'm used to it. We live in a commercial world.

And, some of them are Fleetwood Mac fans, as well.

I deal with on other websites (Especially those which are Beatles related websites) say "Fleetwood Mac ceased to exist when Buckingham/Nicks joined".

As for the Grummies, Been a joke as long as I remember (ie-Jethro Tull wins Best Metal Album over Metallica)...Wonder which dead artist will be their poster person this year?

Thank God I have 180+ channels to choose from, I avoid any and all award shows these days!

amen. tho, I usually watch the very beginning and the very end just to catch what they think are the highlight performances.

The Grammys always suck. I've hated the Grammys since Jethro Tull won best metal over Metallica which is ridiculous. Then of course after that Metallica won all the time even when they didn't really deserve it.

I'm always excited to see who wins Best New Artist. It's always nice to know ahead of time that I'm not going to have to worry about hearing from these people ever again within a year's time. I'm torn between wanting to to go to Fall Out Boy or Keane...

MacMan · #11 12-08-2005, 12:51 PM

Yeah, the telecast of the show kind of sucks now.. But I'm not sure why. Is it because I'm just not into as many of the artist nominated as I used to be when I was younger?... Or have they really changed the way they do things. I'll tend to believe the later...

The combination of types of music all lumpted together is sort of commical... But I have to agree with JazmenFlowers.. I like Mariah Carey too (and I'm no kid) - And this particular album "MIMI" is really quite good, with more then a few stand out tracks. And Kanye West,as pompus as he seems, deserves all the accolades he's receiving too - its another great cd.

Oh, Late Registration clearly ought to win Album of the Year, especially given the competition. I doubt it will though.

Maybe, maybe not.

But you have to admit, I speak the truth.

Hooray for them for counting the Bob Welch years.

Quite a few folks I've talked to have said that Fleetwood Mac ended when Peter Green quit, and that they've been a sham ever since. Just because the Rumours crew is my least favorite incarnation, somehow, quite a few folks around here have lumped me in with that latter segment,

which couldn't be further from how I feel.
