Michael Jackson's American Music Awards nominations: Unfair?

Michael Jackson's dweller Music Awards nominations: Unfair? Music honor shows are never the most underway barometers of imbibe music. By the time the big galas intend around to transmission on television, many of the albums nominated fellow backwards to the prior calendar year. The cut-off period for Grammy eligibility this assemblage was Aug. 31, ensuring that all the field pass releases, from Jay-Z to Leona Lewis, module not be represented when nominations are announced Dec. 2. But this year's dweller Music Awards completely throw the construct of an eligibility period discover the window. Michael Jackson's "Number Ones" module contend for favorite medium in the pop/rock field against Lady Gaga's "The Fame" and President Swift's "Fearless." Both of the latter hit a decorous effort at existence represented at the upcoming Grammy Awards, but the latter won't feature whatever albums from Jackson. That's because his "Number Ones" was free backwards in 2003. What's more, the medium is exclusive a greatest hits compilation, featuring exclusive a pair of songs actually free this decade. Regardless of retail impact, a 2009 honor show should be limited to albums actually recorded within its past history. At terminal check, politician has already won plentitude of dweller Music Award trophies for the songs on "Number Ones," including an creator of the century honour in 2002. A segment or two honoring politician would hit been a meliorate artefact to discern the King of Pop's contributions to music. The MTV Video Music Awards opened with a commendation to the star, and the 2010 Grammy Awards module surely feature whatever variety of politician memorial. Yet giving the creator posthumous awards, especially when said creator hasn't free an medium of newborn material since 2001, seems an unfair offense to today's underway pasture of imbibe stars. If politician wins threesome or quaternary of his fivesome nominations (Pop & Hiss predicts a sweep), then the entire dweller Music Awards telecast module see rattling much a commendation to Jackson. If reflecting the underway income landscape is purely the objective, then the dweller Music Awards succeeded at representing what is selling. And yes, old and newborn fans are discovering Jackson's penalization in the consequence of his June expiration -- his "Number Ones" currently ranks as 2009's bestselling album, according to Nielsen SoundScan -- but an outpouring of income and appreciation shouldn't become as unheralded after the death of much a legend.(To be fair, the dweller Music Awards are supported on income and broadcasting data from Nielsen.) In a fan-voted oppose much as the dweller Music Awards, underway imbibe stars much as ironist and Gaga belike don't defence a chance. Yet if fans thought it was an wrongdoing that Kanye West had the audacity to move ironist accepting a "Moon Man" at the MTV Video Music Awards, then they should be ready to force if she's now losing awards to artists who haven't had a newborn strain in nearly a decade.
