If that's what it takes to get viewers for the game, they shouldn't be allowed to watch in the first place.i doubt either of those things would have brought in the viewers that lamar did.
if that was the case, you wouldn't be watching it as easily on tv. they are in it for the money.If that's what it takes to get viewers for the game, they shouldn't be allowed to watch in the first place.

Lots of talentless hacks have Grammy's. It doesn’t mean they aren’t talentless. I never watch awards shows anyway, I find them boring. Plus I like what I like and no award show will change my opinion.well, it looks like the talentless hack kendrick lamar did pretty well at the grammys
yeah, who even pays attention to grammys anyway. they give them out like candyLots of talentless hacks have Grammy's. It doesn’t mean they aren’t talentless. I never watch awards shows anyway, I find them boring. Plus I like what I like and no award show will change my opinion.
I have not watched an award show or a halftime show in many, many years. You know how out of touch I am. Although I did not watch it I could hear it in the background and I did not like it. I hate Rap, Opera and that so-called Singing that is nothing more than screaming and yelling into a mike. Yes, I am and Old Codger.I was honestly too busy pacing around my house and worrying. I didn't notice the guy, thank god from what you all said.
At least their music was good ...but seriously....I turned on the radio the other day and they still play milli vanilliWhat was the name of that 2 man group that was caught lip syncing? They won a bunch of recognition before being found out
Milli Vanilli... Even won a grammy
The real people singing were apparently too "ugly". I believe the real people singing were also 3 people. You know, I don't ever remember hearing their names or the producers and studio. They were able to push all the blame on those 2 guys .At least their music was good ...but seriously....I turned on the radio the other day and they still play milli vanilli
There were three men and two women .....behind two voices.....but in the end , they could "blame it on the rain"The real people singing were apparently too "ugly".

I'm on the board of governors for The Recording Academy and can tell you with absolute certainty that the Grammys are nothing like you describe above.I have a friend who was nominated for an Oscar a few years ago (didn't end up winning) but the studio that bought his film payed a ton of money to have it nominated. It's essentially pay to win.There are a network of festivals and private screeners that these films go through and with the right amount of money in the right hands these pieces get nominated and win. It's a pretty open secret, so much so that a joke was made about it during the broadcast of the Oscars by one of the presenters.
All awards shows are like this.
Music is one of those things that's widely personal, it attracts people in different ways , some of it's timeless some i attribute to the flavor of the week. I'm extremely picky in my music selection but having said that, I grew up in the late 80's rock and 90's alternative. I never grew out of that. To this day , I gravitate towards 80's rock, alternative, classic rock and blues. I never found an interest in rap or r&b, never even followed country music. Kendrick Lamar's certainly not my style but I was a fan of prince ...The problem with getting rappers to perform at events like the NCG is that their songs contain explicit lyrics, which means they can't sing half of them, so then the performance ends up sounding like a radio cutting out with all the start/stop of actual words being said.
Kendrick Lamar is incredible, and deserved the Grammy's he won hands down. Bruno Mars, however, is not incredible but has learned how to be incredible to teenagers so his popularity guides him through. Childish Gambino "Awaken My Love" is one of the best albums released in a long time. As one writer said, it was probably the most influential album released since maybe Purple Rain.

Bruno Mars is a better performer than Kendrick Lamar. Lamar is a superior lyricist.The problem with getting rappers to perform at events like the NCG is that their songs contain explicit lyrics, which means they can't sing half of them, so then the performance ends up sounding like a radio cutting out with all the start/stop of actual words being said.
