Best New Artist????

[Keith]

I remember a Fountains of Wayne song on a local alternative radio station
circa late '96/early '97. The other artists were shit too.

best new artist means best artist that recently came to the attention of the
grammy people without being shoved down their throats by the major labels,
after having been passed over by the major labels.

not true

(For a new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first
recording which establishes the public identity of that artist.)

every artist, if you saw them at the grammys, especially nominated for an
award, had "a" record label pay millions throughout the year on promotion for
that artist. there is no such thing as an artist that does it on his/her own.
phish was probably one of the only bands ever that made a "career" w/out the
help of a label.
the cost to even try an artist out on the radio these days costs roughly 1
million dollars per song. which does not include music video or live
performance

exactly. "new" has nothing to do with it.

>>every artist, if you saw them at the grammys, especially nominated for an

well, since my post was made in regard to fountains of wayne, i'll use them
as an example. they are by no means on a major label now, and were dumped by
their previous label, ATLANTIC, a major.

i just think it's funny that hyped up flashes in the pan compete against
artitsts that have been at it for years in this category. that is all.

i agree w u and how they shouldnt be nominated

i saw them open for the pumpkins in about 95

best new artist my ass
but its not their fault the grammys are fucked up

[Ice Cream Man]

word. it's just a huge joke. i'm a sucka for awards shows but i can't bring
myself to watch the grammys
