Also, gender-based awards in genre categories, such as R&amp;B, pop, country, rock, etc., will be taken away, being replaced with &#8220;solo performance&#8221; awards in each category instead. <\/p>\n<p>Also many stand-alone categories within genres are being dropped, such as &#8220;Best Contemporary R&amp;B Album&#8221;. On the whole, each genre will have four awards handed out instead of the seven or eight generally given out each year. <\/p>\n<p>The President of the Recording Academy, Neil Portnow, said in a statement, &#8220;Every year, we diligently examine our Awards structure to develop an overall guiding vision and ensure that it remains a balanced and viable process&#8230;After careful and extensive review and analysis of all Categories and Fields, it was objectively determined that our GRAMMY Categories be restructured to the continued competition and prestige of the highest and only peer-recognized award in music. Our Board of Trustees continues to demonstrate its dedication to keeping The Recording Academy a pertinent and responsive organization in our dynamic music community.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the changes, check out the official statement at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.grammy.org\/recording-academy\/announcement\/press-release\" target=\"blank\">Grammy.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of these changes?
