Grammys more of star-studded concert than award ceremony
Though West was granted a performance slot and later reappeared on stage to poke fun at himself during Beck's acceptance speech, the genre of hip-hop as a whole continues to be largely underrepresented at the Grammys, just one more unchanging element of the awards show.
The article said the awards were handed out at "blitz-krieg speed" and that since the televised Grammys are more crammed than ever with musical performances, "many categories have been sent across the road: Dozens of golden gramophones are distributed at the Nokia Theater before the main event at the Staples Center begins."
Big-name artists such as Jack White, Carrie Underwood, Christina Aguilera and many more all won awards during the preshow, but were nowhere to be seen during the live telecast except for a possible glimpse on the red carpet.
Artists such as Kendrick Lamar (Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Song for "i") and Eminem (Best Rap Album for "MMLP2") were included in the list of the 74 Grammys awarded prior to the actual event. As an article from Vibe pointed out in regards to Lamar's awards, "If no one is around to see you bask in the well-deserved win... does it even exist?"
The International Business Times reported that the 2015 Grammys were the lowest-rated since 2009, though since 2010 "the Grammys have been enjoying a resurgence of sorts, which some have attributed to the advent of Twitter and other social media sites." The publication also reported that according to Twitter, Kanye West was among the five most-mentioned artists of the night while Beck, the artist causing controversy for winning Album of the Year over Beyoncé, didn't make the cut.
Regardless of who made an appearance during the Grammys — either for a performance or an acceptance speech — ratings for
The Grammys allotted time for 23 performances yet only granted enough time for nine award announcements — a startling contrast. A Rolling Stone article called attention to the method of filling the Grammy Pre-Show with the rest of the awards and a handful of performances deemed less worthy with its headline alone: "Inside the Grammys 2015 Pre-Show: 74 Trophies in 195 Minutes."
it can become increasingly enticing to fall into habit and follow the path of the past. Sunday marked the 57th Annual Grammy Awards Ceremony, which featured LL Cool J as the host for the fourth consecutive year. Asking him back year after year is not the only consistency with the Grammys, though; replacing award announcements with powerful performances has been a recurring theme for the ceremony as well.

the ceremony were down by more than 10 percent. According to Nielsen, 25.3 million viewers tuned in on Sunday while last year's ceremony garnered 28.5 million viewers.
If the intention of inundating the ceremony with a lengthy list of performances is to boost ratings, it may be time to consider a return to the primary purpose of the ceremony — to recognize and reward the most talented players in the industry.
