Are the Grammy's becoming irrelevant?

It seems to me the Grammy's have never recovered from the introduction of the MTV Music Awards. The MTV Music Awards came out of the gate with two objectives:

1. To modernize the format of music awards and shock the audience.
2. Provide a new stage for Rappers and Hip-Hop music.

This was a combination that became highly successful for MTV. At first the Grammy's tried to remain above the fray and put on a classy show, however over time to compete they've became just another MTV type music award. Which leads to the question - are the Grammy's still relevant? Do you look forward to watching the show every year and if so; why?

Not to mention that the Dixie Chicks are not only hot looking but are actually talented. Half the award winners are nothing more than Milli-Vanilli's....

I like these type of events for the outfits (READ hot women)and seeing Joan Rivers make a fool of herself and her daughter.

When my favorite artists and albums AREN'T nominated and/or mentioned, it makes me feel good about the music that I believe matters.

Yup. And then there are all of those idiots who went out and buoght the Dixie Chicks Album by the millions...perhaps all to show contempt for 'W". Hmmmm, maybe the album is good and The Country Awards are too political to get it.

Oh, I hated The Dixie Chicks outfits. And, no I did not buy the album, although I am a bit hard-pressed to suggest a better/more popular one.

I wish all these musicians would shut up and run for office. They are not in the spotlight because of their political views. They are doing a bait and switch. I don't need this crap. They could put some clothes on, run for office and get elected. What is so hard about that? I would have a great deal of respect for someone who actually worked for their beliefs instead of tryng to pull off some kind of Banana Republic-type coup.
