Lady Gaga's Grammy drama

accreditation
Gaga was considered a surefire nominee but was ignored when the category contenders were announced. Even though the chart-topping dance/pop singer was clearly the biggest new artist to emerge on the music scene last year, she was deemed ineligible for consideration because she had been nominated the year before in a different category.

The outcry surrounding Gaga's snub has prompted Grammy bosses to make amendments to the eligibility process, allowing acts that have been unsuccessfully nominated for a single to be eligible for new artist consideration.

Do you think the Recording Academy made the right decision by changing the rules for Lady Gaga?
