Many cool and talented people have won , including many grammys bestowed upon the worthy band that is U2. Plus it exposes his music to people that otherwise wouldn't know about it. Perhaps it means more to Americans, but I am one, so...Edited by: jbalogh

andrea02 · 11-24-2003, 08:07 AM

My experience with artists here in Nashville has been that they regard The Grammy Awards as the BIG IMPORTANT award show. Mostly because its voted on by their peers not the record companies or thousands of teenage girls. Additionally, the voting is generally based on the srtength of the music as art, not by record sales.

I realize that Americans may have a greater love for the Grammies than others...that is those of us that have some understanding of the industry as a whole. I know that personally I hold the Grammies up on a higher plane than the other award shows. Anyway, I copies some stuff from the Grammy website below.

**************

Who can vote?
Recording Academy voting members only. Record companies do not vote.

Who qualifies as a Voting Member?
Recording Academy voting members are professionals with creative or technical credits on six commercially released tracks (or their equivalent). These may include vocalists, conductors, songwriters, composers, engineers, producers, instrumentalists, arrangers, art directors, album notes writers, narrators and music video artists and technicians.

What are the eligibility requirements?
For the 46th Annual GRAMMY Awards, recordings must be released from October 1, 2002 to September 30, 2003. Recordings must be in general distribution in the U.S., i.e. sales by label to a branch or recognized independent distributor, via Internet, or mail order/retail sales for a nationally marketed product.

Who can enter recordings?
Voting members, associate members, as well as music video companies, record labels — major and independent — who have registered with the Awards department.

How are recordings entered?
The Academy accepts entries online. After registering with the Awards department, entrants are given information on how to electronically submit their recordings for consideration. Recordings can also be entered via mail.

Oh, please....that's the same show that gave something like five Grammy's to Norah Jones last year.

andrea02 · 11-24-2003, 03:50 PM

Yeah and she is an incredibly talented jazz musician. You should give her CD a listen.

administrator · 11-24-2003, 05:05 PM

yeah i like norah jones too

Angela · 11-24-2003, 05:56 PM

I'm not saying she isn't a talented singer. I just think she doesn't deserve *five* Grammy's. It's not like she has revolutionized music in *any* way! There are plenty of musicians more talented than her who've received fewer or none. And look at the nomination of Avril Lavigne, a complete marketing fabrication.

To me Norah's win was much more indicative of American's taste for easily digestible mainstream music (and I mean "mainstream" in the sense that the music she performs is particularly popular in the US) performed by somebody easy to look at.

And then there was 'Your Body Is A Wonderland'.

Sorry, but we'll have to disagree on that one.

Gatsby · 11-25-2003, 08:02 AM

here here angela... the grammys are a load of crap and the day damien rice wins one is a very sad day for me anyways... whats next? an mtv award? [img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img]

Sorry, I'll have to disagree. I've seen her live, got her cd and picked up a couple of live shows. Maybe she's not your cup of tea, but there's no need to hate on Norah just cuz she's well known or because she's good looking.

Uno- X · 11-26-2003, 05:42 AM

umm... I used to like her but then she got all those grammys and somehow I just don't like her anymore.

julia · 11-26-2003, 06:10 AM

WOW so much hostility towards recognition. All it means when you get honored for your work is that people like what you do.. That can't be a bad thing.. The more popular artists get it seems people start dumping on them, Don't you guy's realize that Damien is so talented that when people hear him they fall in love with his music, just like we did.. It will happen he will get more famous with every tour every new album he puts out, and that isn't a bad thing.. Musicians like touching as many people as they can reach with their music, that's why they do it. Otherwise Damien would just stay in his room and play for himself.. Yikes, I'm a yoga teacher and I feel I need to hold an online yoga class for you guy's and get rid of all of this resentment and hostility...lol.. Peace and namaste Edited by: jbalogh

Uno- X · 11-26-2003, 06:56 AM

I stiil don't like her. So what!?

julia · 11-26-2003, 06:58 AM

I'm not talking about Norah Jones. I am talking about Damien...Edited by: jbalogh

Uno- X · 11-26-2003, 07:03 AM

Oh. Sorry.

katinka · 11-26-2003, 07:06 AM

but i'm still sure damien doesn't give a sh*t about awards. he just wants to play.

for us that is

its hard sometimes to like him cos of that attitude... like at witnness this year when he came out and had a big grin and i felt like he was playing and he knew he didnt have to impress anyone cos everyone was already worshipping him... plus he played terrible on a big stage and im more used to the intimate gigs and i hope he goes back to playing them... not infront of 60,000 people

julia · 12-04-2003, 03:41 PM

Wow I am so bummed, I guess you guy's were right [img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img]
The grammy voters, nominated the same old slew of artists.. Justin Timberlake, Jay Z and Beyonce got alot of nominations and Damien nothing[img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img] I guess at least Coldplay got a nod, but still I really thought that Damien would get acknowledged[img]smileys/smiley5.gif[/img] I know alot of you really don't care but I feel badly [img]smileys/smiley11.gif[/img] I find it hard to believe that the grammy voters could hear his album and not think that it should be up for album of the year?Edited by: jbalogh

Wheels · 12-04-2003, 04:43 PM

How do you know they heard it?

julia · 12-04-2003, 04:58 PM

I believe his managers would have submitted his album for consideration[img]smileys/smiley2.gif[/img]

Varuna · 12-05-2003, 09:21 AM

well some people just don't have taste or souls for that matter. ( am talking abt people who nominate ppl for the grammys )

let them soak andperish in their pathetic airbrushed world full of bling bling, personal trainers , fad diets , super thin anorexic girls,more backing vocals than vocals , more dance moves than voice box moves, manufactured commercial shyte.[img]smileys/smiley7.gif[/img]

(i didn't know there was so much angst inside of me abt the world we live in [img]smileys/smiley25.gif[/img])

evil_angel · 12-06-2003, 12:10 AM

I think it's kind of early for Damien to be getting Grammy nominations. He's hardly well-known, and I'm sure we all realize that you have to be pretty mainstream in your category to be receiving this crappy/prestigious (depending on your view) type of thing. For artists like The White Stripes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Sigur Ros to be even looked at this year is a big step for the awards show. Hopefully, some credit will be given where credit is due (i.e. The White Stripes walking away with Album of the Year. Not, for instance, Missy Elliot.)

I'm hoping this yearwill besome kind of revolution or something...and by next year we'll be loving and anxiously awaiting the Grammys...Hmm, doubtful. [img]smileys/smiley24.gif[/img]
