to me the grammys are a joke.

grammys should be giving to artists who do the following:
1.write there own songs
2.sing there own songs
3.write all the music for there own songs
4.have had some commercial success.

a good majority of artist that are nominated for the grammys on TV have not done the following.

thus why im rooting for arcade fire and mumford and sons

I think instead of spending money on stupid usless things like that, we need to worry about the genocide in places like Berma and Sudan.

the day beiber can take care of himself in the music industry and write his OWN music, and create his OWN beats, THEN he well deserve a grammy over an artist who has already done that. just beiber shouldnt have even been nominated, infact he was last on my list of deserving winners lol. id doubt youve even heard any of the other artists anyways

1.florence and the machine
2.mumford and sons
3.esparenza
4.drake
5.justin beiber

I think your a ignorant American who dosn't give a SH** about anything outside of your bubble. I don't think I am "better" as you say. If anyhting your the tool. Following your typical American consumer lifestyle. Can you even comprehend what is going on in those counties? People are being killed. And you sit and talk about who deserved a bloody hunk of metal. You all disgust me.

That's all nice and dandy, RedLlama, but make another thread about it instead of hijacking this one and ruining the vibe. If you make your thread, we will give you respect for it, like you should give us with this one.

I never did watch The Grammy Awards, since they have irregular time schedules...and they never stay consistent with it, but anyways, glad to see some good bands out there that were recognized! Our appreciation for music can only be met if we break away from our popular, mainstream artists and songs and give credit to those that don't advertise the hell out of Facebook and fill their songs with electronic help.

Hey Delos, you should totally give me some good Esparenza songs, via profile

please dude im not going to go much further into this. if you want to reply to this post do so on my profile so this thread doesnt get locked. but no im not aware, ive never been out of the country, that doesnt mean i dont keep track of my current events, that also doesnt mean i keep track of what my country does and how good it actually is

your ignorant flat out, your like a hipster only worse, since when has it been a bad thing to be more fortunate then other people? tell me how is it bad that i have a bed? tell me somthing, you are aware that USA gives more money in aid to less fortunate countries then ANYONE? you know where a VERY good portion of that money comes from, music. everr heard of this thing called a benefit concert? ya we have alot of them here. also before you be like, oh well thats not you playing the benefit concert, ill tell you my dream. my dream is to play a benefit concert with U2 and im doing all i can to reach that dream, my band is getting signed at the end of this week by and actual record label, im only 16. i also go to church and i do TONS of volunteer work, along with the rest of the nation as it is our civic duty to do so.

also you know where 95% of aid from america comes from? US tax payers, which is EVERY working american citizan (which does infact include me). so before you go calling me an ignorant american and thatt i dont know **** because im american, please be sure to know what america has done already.

music is MY life and i do everything i can to be good at that so that not only i can reach my above stated dream, but so that i can also inspire other people and musicians to do the same. dont you DARE preach to me ever again. you stereo typing prik

anyways

bieber was the most successful new artist.. and in my book being the most successful=being the best.. thats why i think he deserved it


i completley disagree with this statement. most successfull doesnt mean the best at all anymore in the music industry. maybe in the 70's with zeppelin and stuff but not now at all.

if you have a high production value, well publicized, and atleast one fan, it spreads. that doesnt make it good at all. look at a band called blood on the dance floor, they are absolutly horrible, but those guys are geniuses on the business aspect, they have a small following and make tons of money, and there not good at all.

being the best is a matter of opinion i suppose...
but being the most successful still means you win in my eyes, others may not think you're the best, but you still won

and yes... blood on the dance floor is awful haha

but you see thats not what the grammys are about, if it was about most succesfull then mariah carey and eminem would win every year. its about who makes the best music.

being the best is a matter of opinion i suppose...

this is also why they have like a pannel of a LOT of music experts, in fact my history of world religions teacher is one of the voters, very smart dude. he has alot of oppinions on the grammys and while he voted for florence and the machine hes glad that esparanza won.

history of world religions sounds like a terribly boring class haha

anyways... once again... best is an opinion... a lot of people like mariah carey and eminem. some people think they're the best.. a lot of others dont... but nobody can deny that they're extremely successful... they're obviously doing something right

The Grammys were pretty fair. Eminem only won two this year.

its not its my favorite class. vey well tought.

and then again while best is an oppinion, there has to be facts to back it up. like to ME saying "oh well the jonas brothers are the best because they are" is not a valid oppinion at all.

and yes they are doing something right and its the business aspect of it. we ALL know mariah and eminem are in it for the money XD. they get well written songs not by THEM, and get people like Dr. dre to produce and make the beats for the songs. then because theyre already famous and produced by freaking dr. dre they get famous cause honestly i dont think there songs personally deserve the fame they have. not to say that eminem doesnt write his own songs SOMETIMES cause he does for sure.

to me a grammy shouldt be givin by whos the most successfull. tahts just dumb cause people get successfull by alot of people hating them too, i.e. nine inch nails, sound garden, justin beiber, that doesnt mean that they dont have loyal fans that love them cause i know i love NIN and sound garden.

but grammys should be givin by a vote of around 2500 business and musically knowledged people. they should vote for the person THEY think has written the best music and has composed the best music. unfortunatly the industry has lost its ways. which is why when i saw that esperanza won i was so suprised that the academy voted for her over drake.

look heres how i see it, if you dont write your songs, you dont compose your music, and you dont sing above par (if you sing), then you dont deserve a grammy.

oh and be thankfull that the academy was voting on it because if it was left to the people justin beiber wouldnt even get CLOSE to winning

I agree with it and I am happy that Justin Bieber didn't win anything. That was really fair. But some guys I never heard before won this year.
