@larsman What’s your point?
“Best Male Vocalist.” Stupid.
Art ain’t athletics.
It’s just a way to make more money.
If instead of “Best Male (blank)” and “Best Female (blank)” they just had “Best (blank)” there wouldn’t be as many opportunities for music companies and film companies to market certain “assets.”

My point is that: People consider a male artist an….artist. It’s just stupid. is not quite accurate, and I have seen threads of 'best male vocalists'. Personally, I don't believe in artistic 'rewards'; I have no use for Grammys or Halls of Fame - I agree that art is not a competition, but it gets treated like that whether I like it or not. |
@larsman I agree on all points except the conflation of music industry awards with music forums/music fans talking about music. If the industry does that (as they have for years) to maximize profits, that’s their prerogative, I guess, as unfortunate as it is. |
@tylermunns - yes, I can see that differentiation between music fans' discussions and industry awards. Categorization can be such a graveyard for great music that remains unheard because of it. |
I dunno... I don't worry about gender nor race That said, I was underwhelmed both by Joan Jett and by Alanis Morisette when I saw them in concert (separately). Jett was, dare I say, boring and predictable... Morisette I could barely understand the vocals even though I am familiar with her big album. Heart, though, I did like live, twice. |
