The Grammys? More like another lame awards show. Am I right, people?

I think the Grammys just plain suck.  So to make it suck less or even not at all (I know I'm a dreamer) this is what I would like to see at the Grammys tonight:

1)      A decent tribute to Lou Reed.  The man changed music and was even given a salute from The X Factor, a show designed to making sure people like him never succeed in the music business.  Let’s see if the Grammys will do something shocking and give this man a shout out or stick to precedent and ignore everything he’s ever done.

2)      They should have a we got it wrong part of the show and take back awards they gave to the wrong act.  I’ll give them a starting place, A Taste of Honey over Elvis Costello for Best New Artist.  Have a small ceremony were Elvis Costello gets the award and gets to mock the academy or whatever this group is called.  I’ll also be happy to help with other ones (cough Jethro Tull cough).

3)      If Madonna doesn’t do or say something that has at least half the population spewing uncontrollable rage or disappointment, she will have made at least one part time Grammy watcher kind of sad.  Or most likely not, this said person don’t really care about the Grammys (this will be the last mention of this mysterious and may I add quite handsome person.  Perhaps he will make an appearance in another article.  Just you wait and see.).

4)      They change the award to something more current than a gramophone to like an LP or a CD.  Get with the times already, jeez!

5)      The cameramen show some restraint and only pans to Jay Z and Beyonce every 35 seconds during the broadcast if only to put a dent in the inevitable X times Beyonce was Even More Perfect during the Grammys than You will Ever Be so Shoot Yourself in the Fucking Face Buzzfeed list.

6)      Just focus on the performances.  I want to see musicians perform, not see awards whose only purpose now is to motivate the next great Kanye album on his inevitable snubbing.  Plus, Pitchfork already honored the greatest music of the year, so yeah.  Get to the music.

Here are some of my suggestions.  How would you make the Grammys better?  Our suggestions are abound to be better than those living in that bubble.
