Grammy Producers Allowing Millions Of Americans Who Missed The Show To Catch Up Via YouTube
Perhaps chastened by the low ratings for Sunday’s telecast, the Grammy powers that be have allowed YouTube bootlegs of segments from the show to run wild, and right now the entire first page of the video-sharing site’s most popular music videos is made up of Grammy clips. (Click the image for a larger version of the top-12 screenshot; unsurprisingly, Universal Music Group artists Amy Winehouse and Kanye West are in there multiple times. But where’s Herbie Hancock?) In the grand scheme of YouTube, though, none of the Grammy clips are as popular right now as that one where the hockey player gets sliced in the neck, a fact that is no doubt causing the awards show’s producers to rethink next year’s centerpiece entertainment.
