Problem, Bieber?

[Dominato3r]

Type Esperanza into Google and look at the built-in Twitter feed. Hilarious.

won best new artist?

 

[summit]

who sold out madison square garden in 20 minutes? whose movie did 30 million first week at the box office? not her. #proudofjustin.

 

[ElFenix]

so the grammy's decided they would add artistic merit to the criteria for a change?


and no, best new artist is not about new artists, lauryn hill won for her solo album

 

[dougp]

There is justice in the world. Sorry SunnyD, your boy-crush didn't win!

 

[lupi]

never heard of her

Hah, I think they let drunk people vote. No offense to Esperanza, but nobody knows who the f she is. Arcade Fire just won best album, and they have less talent than anyone I've ever heard. Listen to this garbage. They're like a bad 80s cover band group.

 

[maziwanka]

i saw her perform at nyu a little bit ago. she was absolutely amazing

 

[summit]

they just wanna get in good graces w/ obama rama. she played at the nobel ceremony.

best has nothing to do with most popular. She has talent, I don't care if nobody knows who she is, it doesn't take away from her talent at all

haha, this twitter feed is great.

Oh yeah, she's far more talented than Bieber I agree. It just seems bizarre to me, given that the Grammys are almost always about who's popular. One could go to any number of places and find obscure artists with more talent than the usual nominees, but like Esperanza, pretty much nobody will no who they are. Her album came out in 2006 apparently, hah some category they have there.

LOL @ all the Bieber fans whining.

 

[mcmilljb]

LOL @ all the Bieber fans whining.

Some hot chicks are tweeting though. But are not the Beiber ones though.

 

[TraumaRN]

LOL @ all the Bieber fans whining.

This had me laughing so hard when they announced the winner. :biggrin:

 

[Born2bwire]

LOL @ all the Bieber fans whining.

Indeed. Sometimes it's good to be a bitter old man.

 

[TraumaRN]

Here are a few jewels from the angry beaver, I mean Bieber crowd

Does Esperanza have 3 albums 29 songs 1 book a 3D movie 21 awards a sold out tour and millions of fans?... ALL AT AGE 16? NO.

Dear Esperanza Spalding, roses are red, violets are blue... i have 5 fingers, the middle ones for you

And this gem of a wikipedia edit: http://yfrog.com/gyd5krej

EDIT: In case anyone wants to hear her quite amazing live performance at the White House: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6I6hVnTdnWU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

 

[Arkaign]

At least I can agree that Spalding was the most talented of that group. Arcade Fire though, is just abominably bad. Maybe the Grammys got hacked lol.

 

[lupi]

it's hard to say it was a really odd grammies gven that they didn't show most of the awards, but the ones the did seemed to have a lot of "really?" to them.

 

[MBrown]

I've never heard of her so I looked her up. She is beautiful plus very talented. Good choice.
