Justin Bieber and Scooter Braun
Pop singer Justin Bieber is dejected today, as he discovered he
has been snubbed by the Grammy Awards, after pushing for a record number of
nominations. Bieber's manager Scooter Braun went on a rant regarding the Grammy
committee overlooking him, "This time there wont be any wise words, no excuses,
I just plain disagree. The kid deserved it. Grammy board you blew it on this
one...This time he deserved to be recognized and I don't really have any kind
nice positive things to say about a decision I don't agree with."
Me personally, after seeing the process firsthand in dealing
with the Grammy committee, regarding a deceased music legend I tried to get on
the ballot in an appropriate category a few years ago, who started his own form
of music, reggae, wrote and produced more music than most and discovered and
signed Bob Marley (Clement Coxsone Dodd, my late godmother's husband), I can
say in all honesty before God I would not want a Grammy.
It's complete rubbish. The process is pure foolishness. Never
again. It is rigged. Furthermore, when you see who constantly wins, artists with
little or no talent, who are constantly and credibly sued for committing
copyright infringement, it invalidates the entire award.
When you find out the level of music industry politics that goes
into it and the sheer number of butts you have to kiss, it is not worth it. The
nominations and voting process for the award is so suspect. It's who you know
(and bow to and often in more ways than one) not what you do (music, talent ect).
I've been telling you guys that on the site for years...
