The one I heard about today sounded like a joke to me: red leather? Fire imagery? Fake horns on their heads? That wouldn't have been edgy in 1979, after that decade of music. By 1985 Iron Maiden would have made it seem tame and mainstream.
Backup performers in dominatrix outfits? Displays intended as affronts to mainstream Christians? Have you heard of Madonna? She's not dead yet. Heck, neither is Ozzy Ozbourne, though I hear he decided to quit touring this year.
These kids should work on being able to write riffs like Black Sabbath. The parody was already done by Spinal Tap, long before they were born.
Or, if they really want to be edgy, learn to sing opera. I guess you won't get invited to the awards show, though.

The world is just SO segregated...
It'd be...interesting...to see (maybe not hear) Rihanna do the Queen of the Night aria at a Grammys. Almost as much as seeing the audience's reaction.

It would only be fun if you could somehow disguise the fact that she was the celebrity. Otherwise, such an audience would grin and bear it politely.
They DO hand out Grammys (Grammies?) for classical and gospel performances. But those performers tend to dress decently and concentrate on the art instead of the artist, so you won't hear them performed during the actual show.
