I've Been Searching High

Question: Why did they take away the Grammy? I mean, the songs were still sung, right? So they had this facade band of models, how did that negate the existence of the songs or non-cute band? I didn't get it then. I don't get it now.

Not interested in excuses for "how we once interpreted talent" -- really, why didn't those two homely Germans just take the Grammy? Or...heyyyy. Wait, does this mean that Grammy's have been based on looks all along? Because that's the only thing that makes sense.
