The GRAMMY was a huge deal. It's the height of any musical career.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the Grammy is like the award, you know.
We just couldn't seem to get the love from the Nashville awards shows... So Grammys really gave us validation, and so that's why they're such a big deal for us.
There is so much good music in the U.S. and there is just a small section that gets recognised at the Grammys.
It's not just the 'Grammys' that I've pulled out of. I also pulled out of the English awards as well. The reason that I wanted to pull out was because I believe very much that the music industry as a whole is mainly concerned with material success.
It's an honor to win a Grammy, of course.
The Grammy is the highest honor in music that we can receive, outside of having fans come and watch you every night and clap.
You don't want to make records so you can win a Grammy. You make records because you want to be a musician.
As we make our way toward the finish line that some of us have already crossed, I never thought I'd get a Grammy Award. In fact, I was always touched by the modesty of their interest.
Why don't the Grammys matter? Because it feels rigged and cheap - like a popularity contest that the insiders club has decided.
A Grammy is really nice, but having lots of fans is really nice, too. I think just getting a record out is a success on its own.
