The 2024 GRAMMYs are so close that we can taste it — and we're now in one of the most critical stages. The Recording Academy is undergoing final round voting, where our esteemed membership will select who will bring home the golden gramophones at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Feb. 4.

Said membership doesn't just work tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure a fair, equitable, transparent process, from peer to peer: they're vocal about just how important final round voting is, as we round the corner to Music's Biggest Night.

Here are five affecting clips of Recording Academy members discussing the import and impact of this critical component of the Academy's voting process — which stretches from Dec. 14 to Jan. 4.

In the above clip, artists from family-music great Justin Roberts to violinist Jannina Norpoth and beyond elucidate why final round voting gives members a chance to uplift their peers and change the trajectory of music history.

Here, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason jr. moderates a discussion between the Recording Academy Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees, Dr. Chelsey Green, and Tammy Hurt, Chair of the Board of Trustees, with timely information about how voting for the 2024 GRAMMYs works.
