But beyond that, where do we draw the line? How long ago do we hold someone's previous indiscretions against them? You can make a pretty good case about Chris Brown- once a twat, always a twat- but beyond that it gets increasingly grey. Cheryl Cole didn't behave a great deal better, didn't get a serious punishment and has never shown remorse. Should she be banned from awards? Or Eric Clapton for his support of Enoch Powell? Hmm.
Personally, I'd be more affronted about him winning a Grammy because his "music" is absolutely appalling.
Apparently we can't rely on the people in charge of the industries to act anything other than amorally, so the question becomes why is there a market for these acts? And nothing illustrates this more than the Chris Brown thing. This is a singer whose main audience is women, convicted of beating up a woman, showing no remorse whatsoever, and yet scores of women are more than happy to continue handing money to him. It makes no sense to me.
