We told you earlier about Steve Stoute's feelings regarding the Grammys and its voting process. Now Steve is speaking out on the talk show circuit. His first stop was "The Gayle King Show" and we have the interview for you inside...
In the words of Gayle King, Steve Stoute came on her show to "put the Grammys on blast." Gayle recently talked to Steve about the Grammys and their voting processes and his other concerns with the organization.
Steve said the Grammys were out of touch with the new reality of the music business. One major issue with many folks was that Justin Bieber lost out to Esperanza Spalding for Best New Artist even though this was her third album versus Justin's first.
Also, Steve talked about Justin's ability to use the platform of new media (e.g. iTunes, YouTube) to spread his music. Steve thinks an artist's cultural impact should play a role in the Grammy process.
Listen to Gayle's interview here.
