Like everything else liberals touch, the Grammys were turned into a dumpster fire.

Via Hollywood Reporter.

It’s a demo low for the telecast, as it still skews young and the audience drops by 24 percent.
Sunday’s Bruno Mars-loving Grammy Awards took a dramatic ratings spill, fetching the smallest demo audience in the show’s history.

The telecast, which ran a bloated three-and-a-half hours, was off by 24 percent from 2017 with adjusted numbers. With time zone adjustments taken into account, the telecast averaged 19.8 million viewers and a 5.9 rating among adults 18-49. The second stat marked a low for the show. Among total viewers, that number was down even more than overnight returns from Nielsen Media that it a 12.7 rating among households. It’s the biggest drop for the Grammys since the 2013, the year after the show swelled following the death of Whitney Houston…

Criticism for the show, hosted by CBS’ James Corden, has focused on political and social messaging in speeches and performances — but the 2018 Grammys were set up for a fall by the night’s big nominees. Mars, Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar just don’t guarantee the kind of appointment viewing that 2017 competitors Beyonce and Adele do.

Excuses, excuses. Maybe showcasing Monica Lewinsky’s ex-boyfriend’s wife wasn’t the best idea. Or having celebrities read from Michael Wolff’s book of admitted falsehoods didn’t help.

Nikki Haley said it best:

    Wow! Who would have thought it would be Piers Morgan who would unabashedly expose and condemn the whole vile industry. “And the award for most sexist, misogynist bunch of vile hypocrites goes to… the Grammys!”

    A sample, click through for full article (and of course he ultimately mentions Hillary):

    …let’s be perfectly frank: it’s the single most sexist, misogynist and abusive awards show of them all, celebrating many of the most sexist, misogynist and abusive people in an amoral industry of spectacular proportions.

    If you thought Hollywood’s bad, it’s got nothing on the record business, particularly in the worlds of hip-hop and rap.

    Take Big Sean, a rapper whose lyrics are littered with misogynistic and homophobic material.

    In the video for his single ‘I Don’t F*ck With You’, the Detroit rapper talks about ‘stupid ass b*tches.’

    He collaborated last year on a song with Eminem which included lyrics about ‘urinating on Fergie’ and raping Conservative talk show host Ann Coulter ‘with a Klan poster, a lamp post, a door handle and a damn bolt cutter.’

    He doesn’t just write about treating women badly, he acts on it too.

    In 2011, Big Sean was arrested in New York for sexual abuse, unlawful imprisonment and forcible touching of a 17-year-old girl after a concert. Some charges were dropped after he accepted a guilty plea for unlawful imprisonment of the girl, a fan.

    This would have led to him being banned from continuing to work in almost any other job.

    But not the music industry.

    This year, Big Sean was nominated for a Grammy.

    Prediction; Taylor Swift will be nominated for 20 Grammy Awards next year. I still won’t be watching as that’s when I schedule root canals.

    Read that the new KFC Colonel, Reba McEntire. won for Best Roots Gospel Album. A minor category so not televised. Assume because of sales numbers. Still, Reba & Gospel sounds good to me. May get it.

    A losing nominated song, You’re Drunk, by Brandy Clarke is getting significant air time on the Jimmy Buffett channel. Fun song. She’s 42 and gay and started performing a couple of years ago. She wrote songs for others for 20 yrs. and apparently hit 40 and decided now or never. Good decision.

    Root canals. Great timing and too funny Alain41! For me, the Grammy’s are on? Time to make mini cheesecakes!

    This Grammys show was in NYC and not LA for the first time in 15 yrs. because it was 60th anniversary and De Blasio ‘worked’ hard for the show to be where it started. Higher cost of NYC ended up with a $6 to 8mil. overrun. No immediate plans to return due to cost.

    The Executive Producer, Ken Ehrlich, has been doing the Grammys since 1980. He also produces the Emmy Award show, approx. 30 years.
    Maybe there should be a 20 yr. term limit for producing annual award shows. Limit familiarity between producer & artists.
