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 watched it and was only surprised that Neil Young didnt win for his Anti-war album, I figured with his status and the politics would surely be right up the left leaning Grammy community of voters, and it is sad that that Politics takes a back seat to talent.

The Dixie Chicks showed a shameful amout of imaturity when gloating over their awards, if they had any intelligence they might be insulted to know that they only won as a statement against our elected President, not because the album will stand the test of time as the best 2006 had to offer.........it wasnt.
