I can’t believe GRAMMY voters vote ONLY a certain way because the artists are a male or female, but on the scope of their work & depth of their creativity. Neil Portnow doesn’t send a ‘memo’ to voters like ‘please only vote for males’….absurd. I know Neil is a longtime friend & supporter of female & male artists, writers, producers & exec.
