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.

Oh I completely agree, my point was imply that if they want to continue to compete with the other awards shows in terms of ratings etc. going forward they're going to have to accept popularity as part of it. They seem to be doing that over the last few years, which I didn't give them credit for in my previous post, but something about it seems pretty uncomfortable IMO.
