Top Recording Academy officials agreed with Grammy nominees for best children’s album that the 2021 nominations for the category are not diverse, according to a report in Billboard. The article sta…

last year, former president-CEO Deborah Dugan alleged that board members on the 12-to-17-member “secret committees” that choose the nominees represent or have relationships with nominated artists and use the committees as an opportunity to push those artists forward, among other allegations.

However, according to children’s music artist Aaron Nigel Smith, who was present at the Dec. 11 meeting, a Recording Academy rep responded to the FMF’s call for “more transparency in the entire voting process, including an overhaul of the nomination review committee” by reiterating the “need for protection and privacy,” but added, “Nothing is off the table, and we will continue to evaluate,” according to the report.

The Academy responded quickly after Family Music Forward complained publicly on Dec. 4 about the all-white nominee slate, and set up a Zoom meeting for Dec. 11, according to the report.

If there were significant quality product from other candidates to fill the category then it’s concerning. Otherwise, not everything is an issue. The bigger issue that SHOULD be corrected is the abcense of The Weeknd in any nom. He should be in and win single, and also AOTY.

They are agreeing now after all the blunder and the mistake being pointed out openly. 😏

Oh geez another cancellation 🤷🏻‍♂️
