I have lost SOOOO much interest in these stupid awards for the very reason you stated. If I were to chose, it would go like this...
BEST MALE VOCALIST - Peter Steele of Type O Negative
BEST FEMALE VOCALIST - Sarah Jezebel Deva (Cradle of Filth and Angtoria)
BEST BAND - Within Temptation
BEST SONG OF THE YEAR - Tie between "The Howling", Within Temptation and "God Has a Plan for Us All", Angtoria.
I'm adding an honorable mention for BEST NEW BAND for The Foreshadowing! Those guys are AMAZING!!!
Much Respect,

Unfortunately, like any awards show there are politics involved, so the decisions are slanted. For instance, the nominee representative (label or artist himself) first have to be NARAS members, paying dues and they have to be active in attending NARAS meetings & Active NARAS members have influence. Grammy's are not based upon who is the best.
If that was the case, bands like Jethro Tull, would not have been considered for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, yet win that category - which they did! Inexcusable! This is proof of politics involved. A&R guys, composers, etc, play this NARAS game, so they can have influence, feel important and sway decisions. All awards shows are slanted due to politics.
I am not a member of NARAS.
I agree with both your comments. Music awards are both politics and dull. But keep in mind, the nominees in most cases are mass appeal artists that might not be your or my choices. Good to see that Chemical Brothers did win an award though-Jonathan L
