I agree with what he's saying for the most part, the Grammy's does a poor job of staying in touch with what the majority of people are into. It may be crap, but if they're trying to stay relevant to their audience they need to do a better job of that or accept a diminshing audience.

My mistake. The 5 or so posts I read before that were all taking about AF, so I assume he was still talking about them.
As for the other comment, the point of the Grammys is just to pick the best music. For just pure popularity there's the Billboard music awards. Personally, I don't mind someone I've never heard of winning. It's a opportunity to potentially find some new music to listen to.
If the Grammys start simply picking the most popular artists to stay relevant then they go from being elitists to being sellouts. No matter what they do people are going to break out the name calling when they don't have their own opinions validated.
