.Grammys chief Harvey Mason jr. talks about the elimination of the ‘secret’ nomination committees, and what it means

that for decades have decided the final list of Grammy nominees in most categories, including the “Big Four” General field of Album, Song, Record of the Year and Best New Artist.

That means everybody can vote in the general field — out of around 12,000 voters, a certain percentage will vote, and that percentage will directly decide who the nominees are in the general field. Then outside of the General Field, you’ve got three fields to choose from, and in those fields you can vote in 10 categories. So that cuts down the number of votes to whoever feels they are experts in that field: say pop, R&B and hip-hop, or whatever.

Why did you have this special meeting and announce the elimination of the committees before the main meeting? I think it’s been a very conscious decision that everyone’s made. The time had come for the Academy to be more self-aware and better partners to the industry and work had to be done to earn the trust and respect of the music community, and I think the transformation began around a year ago. Some good things have happened and we also feel there’s a lot more to do.

RecordingAcad is a CORRUPTED organization which does NOT offer integrity, fairness, respectable nominations or decisions. People no longer care for or respect these awards. Beyonce is an excellent example of these cheap bought awards. Grammys = MTV awards = CHEAP

A. SEC Allowed Unaudited CCP Companies Listed in the US Stock Market to Steal Trillions of Dollars B. SEC with CCP Police Made Chinese Legal Investors Arrested, Coerced and Disappeared. C. SEC + CCP = Corruption D. SEC = Supporter and Endorser of CCP (Chinese Communist Party)
