I wonder what’s the path forward for the Grammy’s to recover and regain their prestige like the Oscars. Drake said he imagines something new and maybe rightfully so. Sometimes if something can’t get fixed, maybe better to just tear down and rebuild?
Personally I think they should replace all the inactive voting members and open up their process to music critics. I said this last year, but they really should force their voters to at least listen to a snippet of the song that they want to vote for, even a 30 second snippet. I’m pretty sure if voters actually listened to Yummy they wouldn’t have voted for it. Even callouts research, people who vote actually listen to the song. And the Grammy’s they don’t have that requirement lol. The fact that there is an online process now can make that easier. Make all voting take place online and force voters to listen to the shit they’re voting on.
Also establish a committee in Pop. There’s no point in ignoring the issue anymore.
Agreed, every genre especially Pop, should have a committee.
Also, there should be some sort of requirement in regards to voting. I don’t know how they can force someone to listen to more than a snippet, but there should be a way to force voters to vote especially when it can be done online. It makes no sense that say 500 total voters vote in Round 1, and then thousands vote in Round 2. That doesn’t seem fair to allow anyone to vote in the final round who didn’t care enough to vote in the first round.
