The Grammy Awards is one of the most well-known televised award shows, happening each year to great media fanfare and poor ratings. If nothing else, it gives the blogosphere something to talk about - almost every music blogger out there currently has Grammy opinions available for your perusal and derision.
This year, perhaps to boost attention for the show after a lacklust 50th anniversary, a special televised concert was held to announce the nominees.
Yes, you read that right: they held an hour-long concert to announce the nominees. Just in case the winner's concert each year wasn't enough for you!
I didn't have the time or attention to sit through such an atrocity, but the general consensus online seems to be that this show was totally uncalled for. The musicians featured weren't the ones being nominated and an hour is far too long to spend finding out nominations for awards that won't be given out until February.
Missing the nominee concert is no big deal; music fans can watch the best clips on YouTube and then proceed to do what they do best: bitch about the nominees.
Happy Grammy season, everyone.
