"This is confusing to a lot of people," Freimuth admits. "We have a handful of voting members on our staff, but it's not the people in our building who are choosing who gets nominated [for Grammys] and who wins. It's the voting members." To become a voting member, you have to meet certain eligibility requirements set by the Recording Academy -- namely, have credits on six commercially-released tracks or credits from 12 digital-only releases.

In short, the Grammys are awarded by people who spend more time in the studio than behind desks. "A lot of people see Academy as this ivory tower that makes proclamations on high, but it's really the people who make the music. We're here to serve the process that makes this happen."

"namely, have credits on six commercially-released tracks or credits from 12 digital-only releases."

 

So Lady Gaga (and pretty much every singer) can be/ is a voting member?

That sounds.. messy. Just when I thought I couldn't care less about them.

lol how is it messy? actual engineers, producers, writers, players, musicians and mixers vote, not some corporate boss in a suit and tie.
