who still watches that BS?

I haven’t watched a awards show of ANY kind in decades. Not since they all went woke and started giving away awards based on color and how liberal someone was.

When you alienate probably more than half the country, you’ll lose viewership.

I know it’s hard for these elitists to believe, but conservative and/or normal people love to listen to music just as much as goofy libs. They don’t want political diatribe from people in no position to give it.

Talk about tough jobs - imagine being the guy who has to pick winners from the garbage and childish, idiotic slop passed off as ‘music’.

Gee, you mean people don’t want to watch a bunch of out of touch liberal millionaires slapping each other on the back and handing out trophies for what a great job they did in an industry that contributes very little if anything positive to society and then bashes REAL Americans and the American way?

Who knew?

Imagine the viewership if they gave Sydney Sweeney a Grammy.

She doesn’t sing, you say? I contend that Billie Eilish doesn’t either.

This passes for music these days?

Doesn’t mean they’ll change. Just wait until they get back in power.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. Are we up for it?

Bet you next year they’ll have a category for “Best AI-Generated Song”, and it will be better than any of the other songs.

I didn’t know it was on. Had I known it was on, I could have marked my calendar to not watch it.

Half the country doesn't even speak English. Do you think they even know or care who Sabrina Carpenter or Billy Eilish is?

I can’t imagine sitting down to watch this crap.

Sorry no sale. I have watched the Oscars, probably has been 50 years or so though.

I tend to watch the first hour or so. 2026 Grammys were hands down the worst ever with the least musical talent.

A real artist. TP is one of those artists that produced music that will be listened to for decades. Most of the stuff peddled today, not so much.

Fewer and fewer, the trend is not their friend.
