 Another powerful woman, leading by example. We ALL have a responsibility to call out the absurd lack of equality everywhere we see it. I'm proud of ALL the women making incredible art in the face of continual resistance.

 The Recording Academy boss was interviewed backstage at this year’s Grammys ceremony on 28 January – where only 17 out of 86 awards went to women or acts fronted by women – about the obstacles facing women in the industry. “I think it has to begin with women who have the creativity in their hearts and their souls who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, who want to be producers, who want to be part of the industry on an executive level to step up,” Portnow said, adding that the industry should create opportunities “not only for women but for all people who want to be creative”. 
  
 He also said technology was making it easier for people trying to start a career in the music industry: “If someone’s passionate about it, doesn’t matter what your gender, genre, geography – do it yourself, take it from your heart and put it out there.” 
  
 Pink, who performed at the awards and lost out in the pop solo performance category to Ed Sheeran, responded to Portnow by saying: “Women in music don’t need to ‘step up’. Women have been stepping up since the beginning of time. Stepping up, and also stepping aside ... When we celebrate and honour the talent and accomplishments of women, and how much women step up every year, against all odds, we show the next generation of women and girls and boys and men what it means to be equal.” 
  
 Nine-time Grammy winner Sheryl Crow wrote: “I wish the Grammys would return to female/male categories. Who will young girls be inspired by to pick up a guitar and rock, when most every category is filled with men? I’m not sure it is about women needing to ‘step up’, (as said by the male in charge).”

 British pop singer Charli XCX was more blunt, writing on Twitter: “Ugh bout 2 step up on 2 ur face.. women are making amazing music right now. wtf is this dude talking about?” Rapper Iggy Azalea called Portnow’s words a “bullshit statement”. 
  
 As well as criticism over the number of awards given to women – only one of which was in the top televised categories – there was anger that the male album of the year nominees were offered solo performance slots, but Lorde wasn’t. She alluded to the controversy after the ceremony, tweeting her tour dates with the line: “If you’re debating whether or not I can murder a stage ... come see for urself.” 
  
 On January 30, Portnow issued a statement expressing regret for his remarks and his use of the term “step up”, and called upon the music industry to recognise and eliminate the barriers that women face. “We must welcome, mentor and empower them. Our community will be richer for it ... I remain committed to doing everything I can to make our music community a better, safer, and more representative place for everyone. ||||| Sheryl Crow retweetelte: TIME

 Recording Academy President Neil Portnow is facing criticism for his comments after the 60th annual Grammy Awards ended with only two female winners on stage and lingering questions about the choice of performers. 
  
 Following the awards show Sunday, many music fans and critics questioned whether the Time's Up movement was just given lip service when the only woman nominated for album of the year, Lorde, didn't perform. Instead, multiple minutes on the telecast was given to male artists who weren't nominated, such as Sting and the band U2. 
  
 While the red carpet was filled with artists sporting white roses to symbolize support of gender equality, backstage after the show wrapped Portnow was questioned about Lorde's absence from the stage, as well as the fact that only two women were shown on TV accepting awards. 
  
 "It has to begin with women who have the creativity in their hearts and their souls, who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, who want to be producers, who want to be part of the industry on an executive level, to step up," Portnow said backstage after the show. "Because I think they would be welcome. I don't have personal experience of those kind of brick walls that you face. It's us as an industry making a welcome mat very obvious — creating mentorships, creating opportunities for all people who want to be creative, and, really, paying it forward, and creating that next generation of artists who feel like they can do anything, say anything." 
  
 Criticism for Portnow's comments was swift. Grammy-winning singer Sheryl Crow tweeted Monday: "I wish the #Grammys would return to female/male categories. Who will young girls be inspired by to pick up a guitar and rock when most every category is filled with men? I'm not sure it is about women needing to "step up", (as said by the male in charge). #GrammysSoMale" 
  
 Actress Debra Messing joined in the criticism, writing on Twitter: "This is incredibly dismaying to say the least" in regards to Portnow's comments. 
  
 The Recording Academy did not immediately return an email seeking comment Monday. 
  
 There were no women nominated in the record of the year category and the only male to be nominated in the best pop solo performance, Ed Sheeran, won. Alessia Cara won best new artist and Rihanna also got to take the stage when she and Kendrick Lamar won best rap/sung performance for "LOYALTY." 
  
 As for why Lorde didn't get to perform solo, Portnow said, "We have a wealth of riches every year and it's hard to have a balanced show and have everybody involved. Every year's different. We can't have a performance from every nominee. We have over 80 categories. And so we have to realize that we've got to create something that has balance and so on and so forth, and what you saw was our best judgment on how to do that." 
  
 As for Lorde, she seemed to address the controversy when she tweeted Monday morning, "If you're debating whether or not I can murder a stage... come see it for urself."

Output:
#GrammysSoMale? That was one hashtag that popped up after Sunday night's show, in which women seemed to get short shrift during the night's proceedings. Per the AP, Lorde, the only woman nominated for album of the year, didn't perform (but males who weren't nominees did); there were no women up for record of the year; and Ed Sheeran took home honors for best pop solo performance as the only male in that category. Recording Academy President Neil Portnow's take when he was asked about this apparent disparity backstage: "It has to begin with women who have the creativity in their hearts and their souls, who want to be musicians, who want to be engineers, who want to be producers, who want to be part of the industry on an executive level, to step up." Women artists did step up after his remarks, but mainly to criticize him. Perhaps the most vocal, per Mashable, was Pink, who penned an "eviscerating" open letter. "Women in music don't need to 'step up'—women in music have been stepping since the beginning of time," she noted in a handwritten missive on Twitter. "They've been KILLING it." Her rebuttal to Portnow was lauded by other female powerhouses, including Katy Perry, who tweeted: "Another powerful woman, leading by example. We ALL have a responsibility to call out the absurd lack of equality everywhere we see it." And, per the Guardian, Sheryl Crow, who pined for a return to categories broken down by gender. "Who will young girls be inspired by to pick up a guitar and rock when most every category is filled with men?" she posted online. "I'm not sure it is about women needing to 'step up', (as said by the male in charge)."
