Commenter on Facebook: No rock or country music for Grammy awards nominated this year [for major awards]. JZ is nominated 8 times, including song and album of the year. I haven’t heard one single JZ song in my life til this morning. It’s the same old shit, sounds like all the stuff bars play during breaks. I hear no innovation or anything unique. I have no artists I thought should be up there but I’m disappointed. Hope Bruno Mars wins something.
The music industry is biased and broken. The Grammys represent a tiny section of popular music. This is just my opinion.
