“Eminem should win. On

Marc Andersen • Delivery Driver

“This is a slap in the face to truly deserving nominees like Don Henley, up for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance for ’Workin’ It.’”

Carl Weatherspoon • Investment Banker

“You didn’t hear Jews complaining back in ’89 when Professor Griff won Best Rap Song for ’Wicked Moneylending Vampire Kikes (Killum All).’”

Mel Dixon • Systems Analyst

“Eminem deserves to win after being so badly snubbed at last year’s Tonys.”

Linda Pulliam • Homemaker

“They could end this uproar by creating a separate category like Best Album That Never Should Have Been Recorded Because It Is An Affront To All That Is Decent.”

Benjamin Reese • Carpenter

“It’s a trade-off. On the one hand, you risk alienating conservative Grammy voters, but on the other, the Grammys will actually be watched by people.”
