Grammy can be talked about by musicians all over the world, except that the United States has always been the center of global pop music and represents a higher level of pop music for three reasons.
The first is its authority. The Recording Association of America is an organization composed of many experienced musicians. It has established 12 regional chapters and a producer and engineer chapter all over the United States, and currently has more than10,000 members. Singers, performers, lyricists, composers, conductors, photographers, lyricists and music video producers can all apply to serve as judges, but only those who have published at least six works are eligible for this position. People who have no real talent and practical learning, and lack persistent pursuit of music, generally can't enter the judges. The jury composed of so many senior professionals will naturally be trusted by music lovers.
The second is fairness. There are very strict rules and procedures for the selection of Grammy Music Awards. Recommended works must be selected from the works of the year. After the works are recommended, they must first be screened by 150 experts from various fields in the music industry, and then classified. Except for the works that need to be voted by the Special Nomination Committee, all the works that pass the primary election must be submitted to the judges for the first round of voting. However, each judge can only choose nine projects that he is good at to vote. Of course, they also have to vote for four awards: album of the year, album of the year, song of the year and new artist of the year. After the initial evaluation, the list will be submitted to the judges for a second round of voting. In addition to the four basic awards, each judge can only choose eight awards to vote. These strict measures effectively ensure the fairness of the selection.
The third is its extensive influence. Grammy awards were not famous at first, but TV helped a lot. Television not only turned the original rigid Grammy Awards ceremony into a colorful music program, but also greatly improved the international popularity of the Grammy Awards by broadcasting it live to the whole world. A large number of European and American pop stars performed on stage, coupled with the stage art and technical means that Americans are good at using, making the Grammy Awards Ceremony a popular entertainment activity all over the world.
The Grammy-winning works are obviously not the product of hype by a few people or boasting by record companies, but are selected by experts and strict procedures. The high quality of these works and the rendering of TV not only make the winners popular and the records sell well, but also really play a leading role in the music trend. On the other hand, judges are also consumers and will naturally be affected by the market. Of course, best-selling records, popular singers and popular movie songs are also the easiest to enter their field of vision.
In addition to the Grammy Music Awards, the Recording Society of America has successively set up Lifetime Achievement Awards, Board Awards and Grammy Hall of Honor to commend people and works with outstanding achievements and long-term historical value, including those who are not included in the Grammy Awards and those who are buried in history. For example, 22 years after his death, the black singer Robertson won the lifetime achievement award with 1998. The Recording Society of America also actively participates in trademark legislation, intellectual property protection, cracking down on piracy, digital music download litigation and other undertakings involving the rights and interests of record companies and individuals, and actively advocates artistic exchange and music education. The Grammy Foundation also helps musicians in difficulty and supports young people to join the ranks of musicians.
All Grammy Awards are awarded by representatives elected by Recording Society every year to those who have made outstanding contributions to recording arts and technology. The difference between Grammy Award and other awards is that the evaluation of all his awards is not affected by sales volume and ranking, but depends entirely on his contribution to technology and art.
The annual Grammy Awards can also be regarded as a grand event, which attracts all the best music and record professionals in the world. In addition to the traditional Grammy awards, the Record Association also awards other auxiliary awards. These awards make up for some gaps in the Grammy Awards, but similarly, although there are some complementary flavors, those who can win these awards are outstanding talents who have made outstanding contributions to the recording industry and music. These awards include Lifetime Achievement Award, Best Grammy Award for Science and Technology and Grammy Legend Award.
This music event, which has attracted the most attention and discussion in the world for more than 40 years, was organized by the National recording arts Institute &; The Grammy Awards are sponsored by Sciences Inc (NARAS for short). Its biggest feature is that it has a huge selection committee organization. This year, the number of members has increased to more than12,000, and all of them are music practitioners. Therefore, many judges can avoid the subjectivity of a few people, and their professionalism has also enhanced the credibility of the Grammy Awards.
