Polka Music Is Eliminated as Grammy Award Category

I don't like this.

The Recording Academy, which bestows the Grammy Awards, announced late on Wednesday that the polka category would be eliminated, saying in a statement that it had been cut “to ensure the awards process remains representative of the current musical landscape.”

1. They need to add a separate category for 'Autotune garbage'

I'd rather listen to Polka than that shit.

2. Absolutely.

Auto-tune is as bad as lip-syncing. It's not live or real.
