(Hoping for backless trousers with cheeks flapping in the warm night breeze!) I love a Man who:
Wears More Make Up Than Me. Wears Four Inch Stilleto Boots. Changes His Name To An Unpronouncable Symbol. Who Changes His Name Back From An Unpronouncable Symbol. Oh And Most Importantly, Who Is Sexy Little Drop Of Butterscotch | |

This category is for "vocal performance". Bruce Springsteen is a better vocalist than Prince? No way, no how!!!  | |

He hasn't put anything out new in years!" I said, heard of Lotusflow3r? Everyone said nope. Sorry. This is why Prince's new strategy isn't worked for the masses. I would think all my friends would dig some of the tracks on Lotusflow3r like Dreamer, but its not in the charts, not on the radio, not in the media. Its a shame! If Dreamer would have won a Grammy, I think it would have got some airplay, but its not to be I am afraid...
i agree. i had 'dreamer' playing in the car one day and my friend, who is a prince hater, was like "who is this? it's really good." i didn't tell her right away and then she figured out it was prince. i think lotusflower/mplsound had some really good songs on there. some of the best in the past few years (way better than 3121 and planet earth). it's too bad he can't get mainstream radio play anymore. maybe that's what makes him unique though. | |

The real problem is linked to the music biz itself. They throw away the older acts for the new ,young, fresher acts that they can market to teens. Prince can put a 1999,Purple Rain,SOTT out there and no one will notice because everyone is diverted toward Lil Wayne or whatever new act is out there. Besides all of these awards are all bullshit anyway. |

Prince knows this - so he is smrt to remain independent rather than allow the industry to get over on him in exchange for mass distribution and exposure. The record companies own those young artists. They dont own Prince. HE would rather release his music his way instead of having some corporations pimping a brilliant music carrer that has spanned 4 decades. Yet another reason I love Prince. | |

I think it is a testament to the level of Prince's work that he continues to be nominated for music from indepedent albums that never see worldwide distrubition and promotion. He was nominated for a track from NEWS! Who even heard of that - let alone bought it - except the Prince faithful? HE got a Grammy from Planet Earth - his previous album. And he was again nominated from an album that you could only buy at Target or online.
THis is because Prince is real music - and better real music than you can find anywhere. SOmeone acknowledges that with every album Prince releases - and rightfully so. | |

This is hilarious. Since Prince lost, folks either say it wasn't a big deal anyway, or chalk it up to record label conspiracies.
Here's a thought... the voters thought Springsteen's song was better. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

Here's a thought... the voters thought Springsteen's song was better. Yup. No matter what the situation, you know orgers will change their stance and cop pleas to support Prince. It's pretty sad. | |

Besides all of these awards are all bullshit anyway. That is exactly correct. My wife tried to get me to watch that shit last night, but I watched "Big Love" instead. Any awards show that has Taylor Swift winning a bunch of awards is bullshit. It is such a shame that the Grammy Awards have degenerated into this. And yes, the emphasis is always on the younger cats who can't sing, and can't even play instruments. What a waste!!! | |

I am far from a fam. But isn't the award more about the performance of the song then the song itself? how can anybody say that Bruces performance was better, I honestly don't see it. Am I deaf?

Regardless of the name of the category, I don't think you can extract one from the other: We're talking about recorded music right? The song and the performance are linked. And yeah, I think I can say that Bruce's song is better (certainly more melodic) and I quite the peformance. Bruce's voice is strong and clear on it (a style he used in the early part of his career and has rediscovered it seems.) And how can you not like the whistling? | |

These award shows kinda remind me of politics. The bettter man doesn't always win. Those who do, sometimes win for all the wrong reasons. | |

Oh, how so true. I rarely watch the awards shows because the voting has become so obviously biased in the same way that "reality" shows are not reality at all. In marketing and politics its called persuasive suggestion; for that matter, I think its titled the same thing for hypnotists, lawyers and most circus acts. ...back to more important things.... Where's Prince? | |
