Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant?

It seems to me the Grammy's have never recovered from the introduction of the MTV Music Awards. The MTV Music Awards came out of the gate with two objectives:

1. To modernize the format of music awards and shock the audience.
2. Provide a new stage for Rappers and Hip-Hop music.

This was a combination that became highly successful for MTV. At first the Grammy's tried to remain above the fray and put on a classy show, however over time to compete they've became just another MTV type music award. Which leads to the question - are the Grammy's still relevant? Do you look forward to watching the show every year and if so; why?

I don't think I've watched the Grammys in about 10 years or so. They have nothing to do with musical talent and are all about politics. I was, however, glad to see the Chixie Dicks run the table - anyone who will stand up to this administration has got my best wishes.

Jeff Bowman wondered:
"Did someone just say that the Dixie Hicks are "hot looking"? "

Jeff, they may not be super-models, but I think most men would agree that at least 2 of the Chix are fetching indeed. Ms. Maines is not my cup o' tea, but the other 2 are quite attractive, IMHO.
