What categories would you like to see in the Grammys? I have a small list.
Pop:
Best Pop Song
Alternative:
Best Alternative Music Recording (think more Bon Iver and Björk)
Gospel/Christian Music renamed to Religious Music (or any other suitable name):
Best Religious Song (to consider Gospel, Contemporary Christian Music and Roots Gospel), similar to American Roots Song
Best Religious Performance (to consider Gospel, Contemporary Christian Music, Roots Gospel and Religious Choir Performances), similar to American Roots Performance
Best Gospel Album
Best Contemporary Christian Music Album
Best Roots Gospel Album
Best Chants/Hymns/Choral Album (for albums containing religious songs performed by choirs e.g chants and hymns)Reggae:
Best Reggae Performance
Best Reggae SongWorld Music:
Best World Music Performance

It doesn’t necessarily have to be a new one. You could suggest mergers or removals. Renames too.

Metal album
Pop/rock instrumental performance

I’ve always wondered… Are the Grammys only allowed to nominate English-language pieces in the GF and mainstream Genre fields (Pop, Rock, Dance, R&B, Rap)?

Nope.

Best Christmas Music Album/ Best Holiday Music Album
Best Contemporary Country Album
Best Traditional Country Performance
And I hope they’re going to reinstate the Best Country Collaboration with Vocals category.
January 21, 2020 at 11:15 pm #1203298167Biggest Fraudit’s about time they add alternative performance and alternative song, the alternative category always house better nominees than most others, they should get an expansion. with today’s news, a pop song category seems even more necessary so that pop songwriters can have a space to compete without committee interfering

despacito wasn’t even that long ago… hell the first winner in roty and soty was italian, foreign music can compete, it’s just they are doomed to be way less competitive
ReplyCopy URLJanuary 22, 2020 at 12:36 am #1203298217The good old “let’s add new categories until all of our faves get an award” thread. Comes around every year.
People think we can fix everything by just adding more categories and making the voting system more complex – some people think the Grammys should force people to sit there and rank each artist/song/album in order or something like that.
When you make voting systems more complex you discourage voters, especially those who are busy, like Touring Musicians and those who have poor time management skills – which includes a lot of very talented artists.
The BRIT awards are better with far fewer categories.
ReplyCopy URLJanuary 22, 2020 at 1:25 am #1203298234the idea of ranking vote is for general field only.
If voters can’t do that simple thing, they shouldn’t be voter.
and yes alternative deserve its own song/performance category.
