It is only a sad state of affairs for the elitists.

Fortunately, society is an aggregation of individuals including elitists and opinionated souls.

I find it funny that the Oscars are having the opposite problem, they have the high respect of the film community, but weren't able to reel in viewers. This caused them to add 5 extra best picture nominees this year. This allowed the more populist movies District 9 and The Blind Slide (blegh), along with the obvious shoo-in (even if there were 5) Avatar. I think the Grammys should consider the opposite technique. Have 3 populist nominees (This year it should have been Beyonce, Taylor Swift, and Lady Gaga/ and or the Black Eyed Peas), but also have critics vote on some of the slots (3 or 4 of them), due to the bizarre eligibility rules (which is something they also need to address), Dear Science by Tv on the Radio seems like the obvious critical pick. Then, both sides of the musical spectrum would represented. More likely, however, is the awards show simply dying, due to people not watching because the bland offering the Grammys dish out doesn't match their taste.

I've actually always appreciated the grammys. Many times, the best album of the year (in my opinion) is at least nominated. Look recently- Viva la Vida, Back to Black, American Idiot, How to Dismantle...

This year's best album was entirely passed over by everyone. Has anybody heard of Light by Matisyahu? It's fantastic. Look it up sometime.
