Why don't the Grammys matter? Because it feels rigged and cheap - like a popularity contest that the insiders club has decided.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is so much good music in the U.S. and there is just a small section that gets recognised at the Grammys.
But the Grammys is just not something I can take too seriously. It would be a mistake to hinge my happiness on something so completely out of my control.
I have a love-hate relationship with the Grammys because I don't see the music world as a competitive sport.
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.
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.
The GRAMMY was a huge deal. It's the height of any musical career.
Well, today the Grammys is much much better than the Oscars. I think the differences in the shows are that the Grammys are much wilder. The Oscars is much more people in the industry. And people dress wilder, I think, at the Grammys.
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.
I think the Grammy is like the award, you know.
When you win a Grammy, it links a certain prestige and importance to you, you know? People want to talk to you.
