Lady Gaga's exclusion from the best new artist category at this year's Grammys has caused the Recording Academy to change eligibility requirements for the next ceremony.
Although Lady Gaga was the most popular new artist of 2009, she was ineligible for a best new artist nomination. Her hit "Just Dance" had been nominated in 2008, before she was a platinum-selling act, and previous Grammy nominees can't be nominated for best new artist. After Lady Gaga was excluded, Recording Academy President Neil Portnow said: "There will be some changes so that particular situation won't repeat itself."
The changes were announced Wednesday. The rule change allows previous Grammy nominees to be eligible, as long as the artist hasn't released an entire album and doesn't win.
"More and more, the first release of a new artist is as a featured artist on someone else's album or the new artist may release a single long before the release of his/her/their entire first album," the Academy said in a statement.
"By current rules, if the other artist's album or the new artist's single receives a nomination, the new artist may never have the opportunity to compete in the best new artist category. With this change, each artist will have at least one opportunity to enter in this important and highly visible category."
Changes were also announced in other categories. Classical producers no longer have to submit a minimum of three recordings to be eligible for a nomination for classical producer of the year, and like non-classical producers, can submit just one recording.

Good Morning Ms.A! How are you today?
ReplyDeleteThat rule desperately needed to be changed long before Gaga opened her mouth I guess it just took a little extra push
ReplyDeleteIm glad the rule changed
ReplyDeleteAtleast Drake can get nominated now aswell
ReplyDeleteIm just personally tired of her madness right now Im am GaGa'ed out
ReplyDeleteIm pretty tired of her myself and this Grammy season will be all about her
ReplyDeleteIm so tired of people hating on Gaga everybody wants to say there tired of her now but she is the biggest music star in the world and the best
ReplyDeleteGive the lady her due!
ReplyDeleteI dont know about the biggest music star in the world
ReplyDeleteIm glad to see the rule changed so her and Drake can qualify because he was out to this year
ReplyDeleteOf course there gonna give it to Gaga and she has earned it but Im team B.o.B he is more talented than any of the new artist
ReplyDeleteeveryone is so quick to say gaga is the biggest star but there is a woman by the name of Beyonce that has been killing the game for a minute gaga is good but beyonce is better anyday
ReplyDeleteWell first off Im glad they changed the rule because the way they had it sucks
ReplyDeleteI have nothing against Gaga but I like her songs but she has actually been so much more in your face than Beyonce has ever been and its pretty sickning now she needs to go away
ReplyDeleteShe has been way too much in our face but if she goes away although she is talented can she make a comeback like nothing happened?
ReplyDeleteYou know I compare what people say about Gaga and Beyonce to LeBron and Kobe.Everybody wants to make LeBron the best player in the world right now and Kobe aint gave up shit and Beyonce has not given up a damn thing either.Beyonce is between 28 and early 30's she got miles left.Dont disrespect someone who has been killing it for so long now
ReplyDeleteIts crazy how people speak Beyonce's name in Vain alot.Enjoy her while she's here there is no one else like her people
ReplyDeleteThe only problem with what you said Ms.Summer is that LeBron is the best in the world and so is Gaga.Beyonce is getting old now the next record she will have lost a step Im willing to bet
ReplyDeletePeople want Gaga to stop let her keep going and doing her thing
ReplyDeleteBeyonce had her time now its on to the next
ReplyDeletehey People how is everyone today we're winding down tomorrow is FRIDAY OWWWW!
ReplyDeleteBeyonce has been looking like a slop lately she has let herself go
ReplyDeleteMs.A!!!!!!! how are you today? I cant believe its almost Friday
ReplyDeleteDamn somebody really does not like Beyonce she still looks beautiful to me
ReplyDeleteI think Gaga is great and if she does go away she can come back because I don't think she's a fluke the girl got pipes regardless of how you take her...But Beyonce' can get out there and bring it everytime so to compare the two is kinda hard in my opinion lets just be happy we have Gaga & Beyonce' for the moment and hopefully more to come
ReplyDeleteHow are you today Ms.A? the sun is shining and Im cooking an egg on my balcony just for my own entertainment purposes.I wish I could send you a photo of my egg cooking but its really cooking amazing.I have always wanted to do this since I was a kid
ReplyDeleteYeah right Beyonce' looks great at all times how can you not like her I'm glad they changed the rules for Grammy time
ReplyDeleteAndre I know for damn sure I'm getting some eggs right? I like mine scrambled with cheese and my plate has to be purple!
ReplyDeleteDamn Andre is kicking it Party and Andre's crib!
ReplyDeleteBefore I finish my egg and meditate can we not do personal attacks on people today.One young lady was put on blast yesterday we dont need a second.And to whoever wrote that hateful comment about Beyonce and her weight grow some class man damn!
ReplyDeleteLOL that was so cool Egg Party with Andre SAU!
ReplyDeleteI agree this blog isn't about saying all that negative shit lets stay about the music yall the day is great!
ReplyDeleteLet us know how the egg turned out Andre
ReplyDeleteEgg party? I love eggs lets do it!
ReplyDeleteLets stay positive please people there both great artist and Beyonce is the best but who cares who the best enjoy the music.Lets stay positive today we dont need a Gaga Vs Beyonce war
ReplyDeletethese are two real artists lets respect them and their talent
ReplyDeletePlease we dont need a war all of those damn Gaga little monster people will come on here and say how Gaga is better and that's not needed.Anyone who understands music will see that beyonce is better she does not need a gimmick to do her music but Gaga got little monsters,flipping off people at Yankee games,rumors about her sexuality and the rumors about her and the gay community.Its just to much now a real artist is an artist who can stand on what there supposed to stand on and thats there MUSIC! So to even compare the 2 is kind of an insult Beyonce is a real artist first and second the best artist since Michael Jackson himself
ReplyDeleteBefore anybody comes and curse me out for that Gaga's music is good very good.But our best artist thats out now like Beyonce,Alicia Keys,Shakira,Kings Of Leon,U2,One Republic and the list goes on do not have gimmicks and are not over barring.Those artist stand on one principle and thats there music.Not so much extra bullshit going on and as a music lover first and a music producer second Gaga is just to much.I would rather see Drake or B.o.B win the best new artist award
ReplyDeleteI can agree with His statememt its respectful
ReplyDeleteOuch! Lady Gaga and that man is the best producer in the game shit that was pretty damming.
ReplyDeleteDAYYYYYYYYYUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMM!!!!!
ReplyDeleteSee it wasn't damming at all it was his personal feelings which is an opinion! Learn the difference between dissing someone and an opinion people
ReplyDeleteYesterday was flat out doing someone wrong that was respectful
ReplyDeleteDamn.......
ReplyDeleteOUCH! Its an opinion but from who it came from is pretty damming
ReplyDeleteI agree with him Gaga puts out good songs but she is just for the moment I cant see 10 years down the line for her being on top
ReplyDeleteWe take so much shit the wrong way atleast he said her music was pretty good and didn't straight up diss her
ReplyDeleteif you say that wasn't put perfectly you are so industry and childish I think Gaga is a great artist and something we haven't seen in a while but she does have a gimmick I would love to see how her next album turns out
ReplyDeleteI agree Ms.A SAU we have to learn to stop being so indusrty and take an opinion for what it is that wasn't in any way dissing gaga
ReplyDeleteB.o.b will win for sure he is real music and he represents the struggle for new artists
ReplyDeleteits not Gaga's fault that her label puts her in our faces they are trying to milk that money until it is no more!
ReplyDeleteNow thats how you fairly critique somebody
ReplyDeleteWest and Timbo that was really lame that you did that
ReplyDeleteI swear the industry can be a bunch of highshoolers sometimes that was valid as hell Greg but Gaga did deserve to win last year this year B.o.B and Drake will rack up during the Grammys!
ReplyDeleteThere is no need to talk bad about any of those artist.I have been able to witness alot of great artist in my lifetime and Beyonce is top 10 for sure she will go down as one of the greatest to ever do it and the best to come along since Michael.We are so quick to just want to compare people to each other and talk about who is coming for who's thrown.Thats not important Beyonce stands on her own and when greatness like that is being displayed that is nothing but God's doing.Talent like her's only comes from God and Im not trying to push my thinking on you guys but she is here for us to enjoy her music and make us get through life with her talent.People like her,Michael,Stevie Wonder etc are special people and we need to enjoy them and be thankful that they have decided to bless us with there talents.Those type of artist stand on there own and no one compares to them
ReplyDeleteOn that same note Im a huge fan of Lady Gaga I enjoy her music and I think she is one of the brightest young stars we have
ReplyDeleteanother great opinion are you going to say DAYUM and that was damming this time?
ReplyDeleteLady Gaga is a sight to see if she could lose the act she would be amazing I think
ReplyDeleteI agree with that
ReplyDeleteI think Lady Gaga is a very good artist but I think her without the craziness would not work.Its kind of apart of her now she cant be stripped down with out the techno and crazy stuff going on
ReplyDeleteShe needs to take a rest now its to much
ReplyDeleteI cant see Lady Gaga putting our music with beats that are less than 140 bpm but she can stay around for awhile I think
ReplyDeleteI like them both but Beyonce is on a different level
ReplyDeleteThere all great artist
ReplyDeleteI really dislike when we try to place artist against each other when we dont look at the entire picture.We just instantly want them to be better than the next person.Beyonce is the best artsit since Michael,she is the greatest artist of this generation so to just compare anybody to her is not fair.
ReplyDeleteLady Gaga is a very good artist who is young and got alot of dues to pay in my opinion.Lets stop talking about Beyonce and really ask yourself this question.Is Lady Gaga a better artist than Alica Keys,Shakira,Amy Winehouse,Leona Lewis,and Adele? Go listen to all of those artist music before you rush to judgement and listen to there talent level.In my opinion Lady Gaga is not in that tier of talent either.She has alot of work to do and alot more growing to do before you throw her at the top of the tree and compare her with Beyonce.Let lady Gaga grown and after another 5 years or 10 years lets talk about it than.Gaga is a new artist who is different and shocked the world because there was no one like her.Being the most popular artist does not mean your the best.Anybody can be popular do something crazy and you will get there pretty fast.....
ReplyDeleteLast point I have is we all know Michael was the king there is question about that.But with Michael being the best does that mean Prince was not a talented artist and legendary?
ReplyDeleteAMEN! We don't realize gaga is a new artist most of the time because she is so good but she does have a bunch of growing to do I can't wait to see who she is in 5 years
ReplyDeleteWOW when you put it like that you shut everything down with comprisons sometimes I forget Gaga is a new artist.
ReplyDeleteThats real talk right there
ReplyDeleteIf she can stop acting like an asshole with all of the gimmicks more producers will take her seriously
ReplyDeleteOn that outside looking in it looks like alot of producers dont really care for Gaga and think she is as great as the public does
ReplyDeleteI wish Beyonce would come on this blog and say something
ReplyDeleteI dont think Lady Gaga is better than any of those people now that i think about it even Leona.Even though Leona is new to but she has a voice that stands on top of everybody
ReplyDeleteIf Beyonce ever came to this blog I might pass out because she is the biggest to do it. I hope Gaga does drop the gimmick soon for her legacy
ReplyDeleteAs a producer Im not in a rush to do a Lady Gaga record.The crazy videos even the picture thats shown above is so much I personally feels it takes away from the music and something I would shy away from it.But Im not dissing her music I think its very good but more of a phase unless she evolves drastically
ReplyDeleteI wish Beyonce would come on here to Im waiting for that day.I think it will happen one day
ReplyDeleteCOME TALK TO US BEYONCE!
ReplyDeleteDamn it was a party in this post I hate that Im late
ReplyDeleteI agree people should not use Beyonce's name for every new person on the block.But to make it kind of fair Beyonce uses alot of base heavy dance songs to cover herself I think
ReplyDeleteI would trip out if Beyonce came on here I think it might happen one day.Were talking about her so I doubt she would come but I wish she would
ReplyDeleteOne day Beyonce will hear us SAU we have a voice and she will come I think
ReplyDeleteShe better hear us we are music!
ReplyDeleteI cant believe all of these greats came on here today WOW!
ReplyDeleteI had to run and hug my beetles collection earlier
ReplyDeleteLOL Greg I still can't believe Sr. Paul and Quincy come to this blog
ReplyDeleteI think that Lady Gaga is a very talented artist who if someone would just strip her down from all of that base and extraness going on with her music she might really have something.
ReplyDeleteI would love the chance to do that with her but her team is not going in that direction from what I heard.
ReplyDeleteGaga and her team should know its getting old really fast
ReplyDeleteBeyonce did strip herself down from the heavy bass.Her last album the first half the Iam side not the Sasha side because that was for radio and to keep her younger artist happy.But that first side was a beautiful display of honesty and rawness.It was light on the pro tool and deep on the lyrical content.I refer to this album in my college lectures often as that side of her album being like a beautiful woman that you have stripped her all of all of her make-up to see her true beauty.Tha accolades go more to the songwriter who took the risk to strip her down and not go for the "Crazy in Love" type songs.People really need to take another listen to that first half of that album that was a song writing and production clinic put on that any future or current song writer needs to take notes on.Less is more alot of times in writing and sometimes in artistry aswell
ReplyDeleteMs.A I forgot to mention last time I was so caught up in Michael Jackson I love your blog Honey I come everyday keep up the great work
ReplyDeleteDamn she just gave us a lesson Im going listen to that album right now
ReplyDeleteI love this Blog...... I love you Ms.A!
ReplyDeleteMrs. Warren thank you for blessing my blog I am so honored that you like it thank you so much I just choked on my gum LOL
ReplyDeleteMike killed that first side!
ReplyDeleteThat A-Side of her last record was a beast I agree masterfully done.Some of the best songwriting outside of Ms.Warren that I have ever heard
ReplyDeleteThis is a real credible ass blog I love all the people that come on here to give good opinions instead of the negativity that was displayed yesterday.
ReplyDeleteYou should have Ms.A that is the queen of writing!
ReplyDeleteMs.A your man did that part of her CD?
ReplyDeleteMs.A if he did damn! that was some really good music
ReplyDeleteMichael Sanders really did his thing on that first side I could have done without the second side. Beyonce and her people should really look into making a full album like that we know that she can dance all day
ReplyDeleteI thought I was the only one that liked the first side better
ReplyDeleteI always say I wish the first side would have been her entire CD because if it was I think it would have been the best CD of the decade.That was some damn good music.
ReplyDeleteYeah that was Ms.A man his he writes half the shit you hear almost LOL Im just kidding but he tries.... I had to put you on blast Ms.A love your blog
ReplyDeleteThe second side was really boring and the usual Beyonce' the second side I was glad to know she can do it if she wanted to it was pure beauty
ReplyDeleteI see Mr.Face But only you can do that noone else ;)
ReplyDeleteI would love to go to a Dianne Warren class I wonder where she teaches at?
