Didymus 34,379 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 lol how is it messy? actual engineers, producers, writers, players, musicians and mixers vote, not some corporate boss in a suit and tie. The noms suck every time though :madge: Clearly they're not interested in choosing the best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 49,939 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Doesn't everybody know this? The noms suck every time though :madge: Clearly they're not interested in choosing the best. It's because in categories where voters are eligible to vote but aren't familiar with the material, they just vote with who they've heard of. Only few choose to abstain.

bigpinkenergy 1,015 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 So surely it's easier to be pressured into voting for somebody Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionic 49,939 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 That's about the nomination process, OP is about voting for the winner Edit: Oop misread some aspects Or maybe I didn't? Perhaps this is more relevant http://blog.gospikes.com/?p=426 One hundred and fifty music experts are appointed with the task of going through the nominations for all 81 categories and deciding if it meets the criteria for the category it has been nominated for. This list is then sent out to all NARAS members to vote on. All members vote within the general fields (not restricted by genera): Record of the Year Album of the Year Song of the Year Best New Artist They then choose 9 out of the 29 other fields to vote in.(ex: Pop , Latin, Gospel) The top five nominees from each category become the Grammy Nominees that get announced to the world……. the process is still not over!! The top five are voted on by all Recording Academy Members who again vote in the general categories and then choose 8 out of the 30 fields (preferable ones they have experience in). Votes are counted and Winners are announced live at the Grammys. Though I don’t always agree with the winners chosen; for the Artist it’s an accomplishment that is recognized by their peers and not just their fans. And no nominee walks away empty handed, for those who do not win the Gramophone Award, there is a medal given out(see below)- the design for which has varied over the years. stream bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bionic 49,939 Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 So if I make 6 songs on MixCraft 5 and release them to iTunes and Amazon and send them to radio I could choose who will get Grammy ..... cool :madge: In short, yes "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? Yes. I remember Taylor Swift talking about being a voter a few years ago. Gaga is more than likely a voting member too. stream bionic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
