I grew up loving watching these shows, mostly for the live performances, the unexpected duos etc.

But the whole thing is quite absurd… some industry people voting for who’s the best this or that… It’s absolutely stupid. Look at Mariah… Taylor Swift has more Grammys than her for example. No hater, she’s a good writer. But Mariah writes too, and vocally speaking, I think we don’t need to compare the incomparable.

I have more respect for award shows where the public votes… but that’s also BS because we already know that some fanbases are insane and it’s all about the number of clicks and calls versus the notion of talent that will differ from one person to another. Yet that’s still more gratifying than a bunch of old white dudes deciding who’s record of the year.

And artists should stop giving too much importance to these things. Longetivity and your audience make a career, not a metal trophy.
