Best Engineered Album, - Diana Krall ?????

The grammys are as worthless as the Oscars.
It's a marketing "seal of approval."
They'll give it to whatever item will benefit the most from this stamp, as far as sales are concerned.

Carlos Vives??? over Ruben Gozalez and Orquestra Aragon.
yeah... and N'Sync would win over Zeppelin.

Most self promoting, over-rated profession:

Audio Engineers for mass production lables. Proof? Diana Krall!

When I hear a guy on this site tell us "I'm an recording engineer..." I move on to the next post.

I gave up on the grammys a few years ago when Michael Bolton got best male performer.

I have purchased several turntable systems from the Needle Doctor. Each time I was given a substantial discount from the retail price and was given excellent advice and service.

I think you are mistaken with QA. Adcom has a good reputation. It was Audio Alchemy that had one of the worst QA's in the history of audio.

Now that's something I don't think anyone misses!

I don't think anyone who voted for Krall was listening to the record - they were looking at her picture on the cover. I do like some of her material and I heard her do a cover of Joni Mitchell's - A Case of You - on the tribute to Joni show and she made that song sound better than I have ever heard it before. Remember Jethro Tull....................

That's a pretty funny list Thedautch.

Kirk, Diana is fun to watch in concert isn't she? She's quite funny too. A reviewer who's name escapes me once described her voice as fine wine with a splash of whiskey. I like it!

not only do i love to hear diana krall sing, but i love to hear her talk. she is quite fun to look at as well. as far as how the album was cut. i think it sounds a little brash. as the awards go. why waste your time with that crap anyway.

re sellout...I don't think her Chrysler commercials help
either.

I'm sure Diana Krall is crying in her beer. Audio Alchemy?

BIGGEST SELLOUT POSSIBLE--DIANA KRALL!!!!!!!!!!

This would be the only category in which I would award first place to Diana Krall. Other winners include:

MOST OVERRATED MANUFACTURER--Bose
MOST OBNOXIOUS PERSONA--Matthew Polk (over Noel Lee)
WORST QUALITY CONTROL--Adcom
WORST MARKETING STRATEGY--Stereophile
LOWEST WIFE ACCEPTANCE FACTOR--Avantgarde Trio
HIGHEST DEALER MARKUP--Jerry Raskin (Needle Doctor)

And...THE "WHO WE MISS MOST" AWARD--Audio Alchemy

Hi Msn50, are you talking about the latest one? Because if you are, I have to agree with you that it doesn't sound very good. I strongly prefer the sound of some her earlier releases to the latest one, and there are others from many artists that I in turn favor over any of hers. I am no sound engineer, and only trust my ears, but that's my 2 pennies. I like the way the JVC XRCD2s sound, specifically, Chet Atkins In Hollywood, and Jacintha's releases. Incredible! Happy listening!

DSOM-- Allan Parsons.

What do you expect? The Grammy's are the most worthless, bogus, meaningless nonsense.
