Taylor doesn't seem to be able to sing very well without the beloved Auto Tune either

Well if that really is the case (and I'm no TS expert), then clearly they're both crap.:rolleyes:

Almost every artist nowadays uses auto tune for studio stuff...

I'm talking about live performances (which is what really matter), not studio recordings.

That's why live performances really find out the "fakers", and which is why the "fakers" (e.g. Bratney, Madonna) often lip-sync to try to hide their lack of vocal talent .;)

Autotune gets annoying every once in a while

that's why I listen to more rock/alternative/indie stuff

oh, by the way Mark, just stop, you have to understand that people like those certain musicians, and you can't help that they have different tastes than you..

 

oh yeah, we all know you love Lady Gaga so stop denying it, I don't have a problem with it....

Haha, how are 'mylo xyloto' and 'Hurry up, we're dreaming' eligible for grammy's? Apparently even the grammy's don't take themselves seriously anymore if they have such a short memory...

And apparently there's a 'best Americana album' category. What does that even mean?

^Actually, Americana is pretty big these days (Lumineers, Old Crow Medicine show, etc) and this way it won't be put in with the "country" category, which is way to convoluted anyways :shrug:

The Grammys have way too many awards areas for them to be worthwhile.

The nomination deadline is the end of September each year. MX, HUWD, El Camino, etc. are therefore eligible in spite of being released in 2011 since they were ineligible in 2012.

 

That said, you're right about the Grammys not taking themselves seriously if they nominated that crap known as Mylo Xyloto. :P

Could you define it for me?

It's what's between Country and Folk, I'd say. Gillian Welch, Iron & Wine etc.

^ Is it a new category or is it just the first time I heard of it?

have you seen this? the Grammy's really ARE a joke

i thought this was new and i was like wow.......

I have no idea, not very familiar with the Grammys.

It's definitly newish, but I don't think this is the first time they had it. I think there was something last year for it.

 

Oh just looked it up. It's been around since 2010. So yeah, relatively new.
