The Grammys Are Concerned Toni Braxton's Awards Will Be Auctioned

Toni Braxton

The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (NARAS), which is the organization that awards singer with Grammys, has made an appearance in singer Toni Braxton's bankruptcy case, out of concern the six awards she has won during her 20-year music career could be seized and auctioned, to satisfy her many debts.

Braxton fell seriously ill with breast cancer, lupus and angina, which made her unable to work for a time. As a result, Braxton fell behind on credit card payments to high end retailers and other financial obligations. Due to the fact she did not disclose the full extent of her health problems, the insurer that underwrote her Las Vegas performance policy, did not pay the $10,000,000 guarantee in the event her stage run abruptly ended.

Braxton's financial woes grabbed unflattering headlines last year, when she filed for bankruptcy, the second time in a decade, prompting claims she is a spendthrift not in charge of her financial affairs. Braxton's latest Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, already saw her reluctantly relinquish her million dollar mansion in Atlanta, Georgia's Sugarloaf Country Club. The legal documents also list her Grammy awards among her possessions.

It's all good and fine that they made an appearance in the case, in an attempt to protect their brand. However, the Grammys are a complete farce now, when a screamer singer like Beyonce Knowles, among others, can criminally commit wholesale theft of valuable copyrights worth many millions and win more Grammy awards than Aretha Franklin, in one fifth the time. It says the organization's credibility is gone.

You are giving out Grammys like candy to people that did not earn them, which has taken the prestige and heft from your awards. I also have it on good authority, though you do not want the Grammy awards sold to non-recipients, the voting process can be bought to rig a desired outcome on behalf of artists that did not earn it. The aforementioned two problems, which will mushroom into a forthcoming scandal, when specific details are brought to light before the public, are the real issues the Grammys need to be focused on.

Beyonce's First Two Singles From Her New Album Flop

Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce Knowles is on a losing streak. The first two unoriginal songs from her forthcoming album have bombed on the charts. Public feedback has been lukewarm (and that's being generous). The singles "Girls" and "1+1" failed to make any kind of significant dent on the music charts and have been greatly criticized by music fans and bloggers alike.

This is the first time Beyonce has experienced a flop from one of her albums or projects with former group Destinys Child. As the Judiciary Report warned regarding her months before her ill-fated singles were released You're Only As Good As Your Last Hit.

The music industry has become a joke. Barely passable singers, pretending to be skilled songwriters, by stealing others preexisting copyrighted works, passing them off as their own to the public, then collecting millions in undue royalties, in deeds that can only be described as racketeering.

There are so many gifted songwriters in America and all over the world. However, they are not getting the chance they deserve to be heard, in favor of a creativity stifling monopoly that exists in the music industry, where outsiders are not welcome, unless they are willing to sign away their rights and be terribly exploited, in favor of untalented people that have dug their heels into a sector of business they have no talent for. To be clear - stealing is not a talent. it is a crime.

Beyonce

The careers of so many modern mainstream artists, such as Beyonce and Britney Spears, are completely rigged. Payola to gain airplay and sales scams to falsify success via gold and platinum plaques. Awards are heaped on them for fraudulently claiming to do and be things they simply are not - multi-talented.

This is done by labels and management companies in support of an illusion, to create well-rounded artists. However, to do so with the current clay that is lacking the skills in question, they must commit fraud, criminal copyright infringement and grand theft, in stealing others valuable music that is protected by law.

The farce has gone too far, discrediting the music industry to a worldwide audience. Let me leave you with this fact to illustrate my point, regarding the disgraceful disparities, due to the blatant thievery and brazen fraud.

Beyonce, who is frequently sued for stealing other people's copyrighted songs, in criminal violation of U.S. and international law, as she deceitfully placed her name on stolen property and collected millions in other people's money in doing so, has won 19 Grammys in 10 years.

Aretha Franklin

Aretha Franklin can sing her butt off, play the piano and has written some of the music she performed - and she was won 16 Grammys in 55 years. How do you explain that. Beyonce couldn't walk a mile in Aretha's shoes, doesn't have a fraction of the talent and stole all the songs she claimed to write, as illustrated by lawsuits and public complaints, yet has more Grammys in 1/5th the time. Once again, the entertainment industry has become a massive farce that lost all credibility.

Friction Between Toni Braxton’s Parents Leaves Her In Tears

Braxton Family Values

This week’s episode of the reality series "Braxton Family Values" featured Grammy award winning singer, Toni Braxton, returning to her home state, Maryland, to face some unresolved family issues. Tamar orchestrated the trip and meeting with their dad, but all didn’t go to plan and it left the sisters in tears.

Braxton’s dad, Michael Braxton, is a preacher that cheated on her mom, Evelyn, which devastated the family. He went through a mid-life crisis that was regrettable. Preachers have to put the Lord and their marriage vows ahead of outside forces that would seek to destroy their unions. It was not God’s will for him to leave his wife and marry another woman. It has profoundly affected his children and ex-wife. Doing the right thing is more important than leaving one’s family.
