Grammys are not rewarding his personal life. They are supposed to reward the artist's music (i.e. the quality of music).
So to answer your stupid question, NO it shouldn't matter.

This is like saying all the rappers whom been arrested in the past can't win Grammys, or like all artists whom been involved with drugs can't win Grammys.

[supaspaz]

No. Neither should sales, but that seems to be what the Recording Academy is actually rewarding these days (hence Chris Brown's win).

Yes, If that artist in question sets a bad example to the general public by beating up his girlfriend. Then I say yes personal life should effect whether you get a Grammy or not.

Personally what you do in your life, and whether or not you have a criminal record is on you. The Grammys are about awarding music, and the person doesn't always have to equal the artist.

But LOL @ his competition , of course he was going to win.

This makes no sense for various reasons.

Basically, no, because it should be factored in. It's not like there aren't other candidates who are probably just as deserving who haven't committed felonies. Makes sense now?

I think if you have committed a felony you should't be on a label never mind receiving a grammy.

It's disgusting.

Basically people aspire to be grammy winners, the aspire to be LIKE grammy winners and no-one should aspire to be anything like Chris Brown.

It disgusts me that the industry has seemingly forgiven him, he does not deserve it. He has proven time and time again that he is a child that is prone to tantrums and he can and will take it out physically on people. He is dangerous and a disgrace.

[pink.hearts]

I don't think many people aspire to be like him. I just think it sends the wrong message, especially when the person under question has proven repeatedly, as you said, to be no better than before.

The question is not really a question. Grammys are given to music and music only so why would a personal life have any effect on it?

According to twitter people aspire to be like him and be with him. Yes, people are THAT stupid.

[Austin]

No. Music is music, the should be about awarding the best music. Personal life shouldn't be taken into consideration

[Chickenchiki]

It depends. Chris Brown could have killed a woman for God's sake and some people is trying to make it look like he's a victim. I don't even know why he's not in prison. It's weird how the grammys have no respect for Britney because of her lip syncing but they respect this criminal.
