The Dove Awards were tonight (basically the Christian music awards).

To make an extremely long story short:
Skillet was nominated in 6 categories (including twice for short-form video of the year) and they lost them all because the judges are biased against Skillet. It's happened time and time before.

The same boring artists win every year. Always pop and adult contemporary. :/ The awards were boring and predictable. I mean, c'mon. They were nominated 6 times. They should've at least won one.

They lost short form video of the year to her:

Some critics argue that the GMA Dove Award voters tend to be musically conservative and biased in favor of traditional gospel and pop artists over other genres. Another common criticism is that most GMA Dove Awards tend to go to either well-established acts that receive heavy radio airplay, or those which fall into the aforementioned categories. Evidence for such claims includes the fact that Steven Curtis Chapman won the "Songwriter of the Year" award 9 out of 10 years and "Male Vocalist of the Year" 7 of 12 years, with some of those wins coming in years when he released no new material.
Since the voters are all GMA members and usually work in the industry, critics charge they would more than likely tend to vote for whichever bands have the most "buzz" at the moment or are associated with their area of the industry, as with most award voterships. Supporters of the GMA contend that this is likely less prevalent than in secular awards due to Christians placing a high value on ethical behavior. However, once in a while the GMA would hand out an award that would suggest otherwise, such as the year Inspirational singer Carman won an award for Rap Song of the Year for a novelty song called "R.I.O.T"

See? TobyMac and Casting Crowns win every year. >_>

maybe if the people voting weren't so afraid of change

Basically what I was going to say.

They need to realize there are other bands/artists out there that don't just air on christian radio stations, they have a broad audience and appeal to a lot more people. I think they need new judges, or maybe just a whole new team at GMA.

I mean really. I've heard Skillet on hard rock channels, when my sister listens to radio disney, they're on there sometimes. They're so diverse in their music.

They didn't win so the judges are biased?
