Weeks separate the world from the 58th Annual Grammy Awards, set to air live on CBS on February 15th 2016.
On the night the biggest and brightest stars will align to celebrate the ceremony alongside the committee made up of the music industry’s movers and shakers who will decide which of them are to go home with gongs…and which are to leave the show empty handed.
Of course, the committee’s choices haven’t always been in line with the general public’s, slammed in the past for for “snubbing” releases launched by the likes of Indie Arie (‘Voyage to India‘), Beyonce (‘4‘), Katy Perry‘s hit-kissed and cohesive ‘Teenage Dream’ and the rapper Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Good M.A.A.D City.’
Now, as the award ceremony’s next creeps towards us TGJ is eager to find out what you think about the question below.
Should the Grammys introduced fan-voted categories?
Weigh in below!
Yes & No. I like the Grammys due to it not being a popularity contest but it is a reflection on the industry so in turn usually the Grammys give awards to there favorites I.E Aretha,Beyoncé and Adele. I wish they would at least have Sub committees for every type of music only including those who have vast knowledge of the music they are voting on…
TLCSUS
No.
your basic a$$ should have never bothered to comment here, as your tin robot fave will NEVER EVER hold that precious gramophone
.

No. Fans are inherently biased.

.

Fun fact : Your own fan base doesn’t claim you. They’ll claim a c square reject (molly) before you.
a platinum plaque and relevance are some of the things that haven’t claimed your clown a$$ fave since 2013
.
One thing Rim-Job , Slay_Hive, Rosie, Tyler, MsYonce, MsBieber, HailBeysus, Richie Rich, and many old Hive members claim me
.

Yes,then maybe just maybe Nicki can finally win a Grammy
This is the reason why there shouldn’t be voting allowed. Talentless gimmicks don’t deserve grammys.
let’s not talk gimmicks when they are the only things that helped your fave gain 15seconds of fame in the 1st place
.
have you monstrous brains forgotten about; wheelchairs, puke, shells, d***, eggs, meat dress, mechanical horses, joe Calderón , attention seeking ugly clothes?

and lets see where you end up
You get a C plus for effort
She actually can and just did
No cause ppl like Ariana Grande One Direction etc could walk away with a Grammy
F*** the grammys the voting committee is s***
FYI ‘Voyage to India’ won the Best R&B Album Grammy. It was her debut album ‘Acoustic Soul’ that was snubbed the year prior. Smh fact check please
N O !!!!!!
No because it would be the same overzealous fans voting every year.
but yes, only because they’ve allowed streaming and everything else
SHM @ TGJ bitxhing about Beyonce’s 4 been snubbed, when she has enough grammys to last a lifetime. It’s about time the grammys snub her forever and also every other artist with 10 grammys and upward.
That’s basically asking for a popularity contest. You know what at this rate a grammy starting to seem like nothing special they making it carry no weight of credibility smh.
No because 9/10 people are voting for who they like and not who deserves the coveted award.This site and their stan wars are just 1 example of what would be wrong with fans voting in the grammy’s. What they need is a more diverse set of judges from all aspects of music and mostly non bias judges and a better system of how who gets what award is chosen. with a list of criteria having to be met. Honestly like it or not many people argued this but Album of the year is not how many instruments you play or who writes all their own music. It’s exactly as stated “Album of The Year” simply who’s music was the bst and nothing further more than that. Beyonce deserved it because that quality of music she gave on that body of work was authentic and really outside the normal of radio and everything we’re hearing she stays true to roots or R&B and Hip Hop and has never chased trends as far as sonically and her sound, and I’m no stan of anyone i’ve stated I’m a fan of many artists not just one which may be hard for some people to comprehend in this day and age and I believe the Grammy’s needs a better system and mor diverse judges not just for Beyonce but for music in general. Hip hop is the most popular genre of music for the last 20 years and is hardly celebrated and not just hip hop but all genres aren’t getting a fair chance with the way the comitee is set up. More diversity on the comitee and less bias would make the grammy’s more crdible again
Nope. One Direction ,Taylor,and Bieber would easily walk away with 10 Grammys every year. Those fans are crazy.
No, def not…
Yess for using TLC’S photo. Still the best selling American Girl Group ever
No.One Direction ,Taylor,and Bieber would easily walk away with 10 Grammys every year. Those fans are crazy.
Not at all! The unique quality of the Grammys is that it is not based on public popularity but instead on the quality of work judged by industry peers. However, I do think the voting process needs to be revamped. I think a small committee should be put in place to determine the nominees and then all general members can vote for the winners.
Yes every other Award show does it
No because all they do is rig s*** anyway! How the hell a garbage song like Sam smith bond theme which is worst in history get award
I have to say no to the voting system. And here is why the Grammy’s are like the Academy Awards(Oscars) their both the Cremé Dela Cremé of awards show. If there was a voting system it would be a complete and utter mess, fans and stans would go crazy. And it would be pointless to the real artist out there I wholeheartly agree with @Dev they should allow streaming since that’s the new thing in music today, and I agree with @Peacemaker It wouldn’t hurt Beyonce Career if she doesn’t get nominated let others get nominated so they have a chance. I also have to say I agreed with @King Gemini until they said that Beyonce deserved that album of the year Grammy that’s like snatching the Academy Award away from The Godfather and giving it to Basic Instinct it just can’t happen and should never happen. Now @King Gemini said it didn’t matter about the how many instruments an individual plays or writing process of ones album but that Beyonce album would never be able to stand a chance with Herbie Hancock’s(Jazz Musician) 2006 Album or Outkast 2003’s The Speaker Boxx and the Love Below Album of the wins or even both of Stevie Wonder’s Album of the wins for two separate albums back in the 70’s I mean it’s all about quality she doesn’t even have a Issac Hayes Hot buttered soul like album which was pure quality or a Janet Jackson Rhythm Nation 1814 which was not only quality but impact full Beyonce has yet to deliver that type of quality. Now to be quite frank the only album from her to produce such quality is her debut was Dangerously in Love to me personally that was her best album to date because it was so different in sound, but back to the topic no they shouldn’t add a fan voting system it’ll just be too much of a headache.
No. The whole idea is a contradiction to what the Grammy’s have historically been about. The problem with today is that every award show wants to pander to popularity. This wasn’t happening 30 years ago. Albums that barely sold were being awarded high honors, solely on the merit of the work — and not its commerce. The idea that Bieber could sweep the Grammy’s is frankly terrifying.
No, b/c the American Music Awards are already based on the popular vote. Each awards show should stay in its own lane.
Of course not! Give me a break.
Grammys have declined enough. With such decision they would just be as irrelevant and laughable as the VMA, EMA, AMA and the likes.
Hell no, then unknown artist who put out great work would get nothi because their fantase isn’t big enough. And shout out to all the hip hop fans but y’all lazy to vote, Iggy and Eminem would be winning everything.
NO
the grammys are the only semi-decent award show now
Absolutely not!!
