All this does is make it harder for true artists to get recognition and just make way for the popular acts to get first dibs. I don't see why they would combine both male and female talent. Indy talent is gonna be left out for sure now, I'm telling you. But whatever, it is what it is. They only present 15-20 awards on tv anyway, and people have been declining this show for a while. This definitely won't boost their ratings. I tell you, if it wasn't for their performances, this show would be nothing, cause everybody knows a Grammy ain't what it used to be.
