I watched clips from it.Am I the only one bothered by the exploitation of female sexuality masquerading as female empowerment? And I won't even go into the racial aspects of it... IP: Logged |

I didn't watch it but I saw the same clips.The audience for the Grammys was way down. Off 53% from 2020. Looks like people have had enough. IP: Logged |

I can’t remember the last time I watched them, and if people had had enough, they wouldn’t still be selling a lot of music, or be nominated in the first place. IP: Logged |

What??? Those morons would nominate a fence post for an award. Oh, and by the way, music sales are down. So, people are paying attention. IP: Logged |

Music sales could be down for all kinds of reasons. A lot of us don’t have extra money to buy music. IP: Logged |

Are you okay with this guy doing so well, after using a racial slur? http://www.google.com/amp/s/www.nytimes.com/2021/02/15/arts/music/wallen-dangerous-billboard.amp.html%3f0p19G=0232 IP: Logged |

Album sales decline, as streaming becomes more popular.

Nominations and wins are pr for the industry. Employee of the Month awards. Viewership is down because the Grammys have lost their audience. Older people are uninterested or outright disgusted, and younger people aren't about to watch this boomer fiasco. For kicks, I asked a 15 yo about them and he has never watched and doesn't entirely know what they are. All that said, the Grammy performances are a revelation, if you have the stomach for it.

I don't care. Is this the sort of thing you lose sleep over? If pressed, I would say better a racial slur than satan shoes. IP: Logged |
