  • Strike one for the grammy people: Setting Esperanza up for unwarranted sexual advances by Bieber by forcing them both to sit in a chair designed for one average American. Strike 2 for Bieber: grabbing Esperanza around the waist and virtually sitting her down on his lap. Strike 3, for Bieber: not mentioning Esperanza when asked what was amazing about the night. Strike 4: The unsolicited head pat. Bieber should be tried for sexual misconduct.

  • @Ewbear31  strike reminds me of ... well that movie ... with aston kusher :)

  • I would have spit on that leech, fucking shitty tween

  • Natural is the way to go!

  • Trust me it wasn't an upset!! :D

  • Beiber is the real life Pinocchio. Waiting anxiously for the part where he gets swallowed by a whale.

  • Shoot, he could touch my kinks in minute!

  • HE'S SO CUTEEEEEEEEE

  • I'll start by saying that I'm not a Bieber fan. Anyways, people shouldn't just go hating on him. What has he done to you personally that'll make you hate him?

    Yes, sometimes he does seem really obnoxious/annoying, but sometimes, he seems like a simply nice guy. Many people hate on Bieber because their friends do, they don't want to "conform" or say something, but that's wrong. How would you feel if random people hated on you?

    It was nice of Justin to give Esperanza a compliment on her hair. :)

  • Esperanza deserved to win by a million miles. I love her and her music SO much. It's about time a jazz artist won a grammy.

  • Justin bieber: :D in the video

    What he was thinking: die bitch *slice*

  • I like when she was like "Ok!"

  • Comment removed

  • when are people going to realize that isn't clever to diss justin bieber just for the sake of dissing him. If this was anybody else, you wouldn't be doubting his motives. He's a nice kid. You guys are so hung up on being non-conformist that you will find literally any excuse to attack him. You guys are a lot more pathetic than he is, and he entirely deserves the compliments that esperanza gave him. That was really high praise, coming from the most talented jazz artist in decades.

  • @Archaebob couldnt agree more, and im a guy

  • Esperanza:"..You are so powerful and talented..." ....ahahahha of course he is ahahah great

  • I think it's GREAT that Bieber gave Esperanza a compliment on her hair. I'm natural and I think it's encouraging when you can come into contact with people that can appreciate it! Now I will say that I don't really like people touching my hair.. but only because it take so much work to keep it up .. lol.

  • @Creation182 Wow...you just said exactly what I wanted to say (so Yay! I don't have to type it up!! lol :) )

    I don't like people touching my hair because they usually mess it up, it takes so much work to keep it up, I don't like having to touch or redo my hair often (I don't like people messing up my afro when I decide to rock one), I can never know where that person's hand had been before it touched my hair and some people pull at my hair in the name of "touching" or "feeling" x_X

  • He is a KNOB

  • I cringed when he touched her hair. You just don't touch a girl's hair without asking.

  • She's Pretttty

  • Both are famous the diference is she is a musician

  • i have 2 b so b crazy if i don't like this video...hahaha like is the funniest thing eva!

    justin:i luv ur hair

    speranza: aww c'mon everybody luv ur hair

    justin: really i like it

    speranza:well thank u...justin bieber likes my hair!

    Justin: im so happy 4 u (hugh her)

    like r u kidding that's the worst and most fake scene eva...maybe she felt what she says but with him i got some serious doubts...anyway so fun :)

  • "I like your hair" and he like puffs it up! lol so cute

  • Don't even put one finger on this champion moter focka get off her butch!! you foockin liar!!!!!!! he is a liar magizer who sucjed on libehraci macahais wet malachos

    I dont care, it is just the truths okay, class act more like class of lies ,who loves to get in the lies and magiuies, so if you are hurt and want foocking butch asz liar telling her all lies if you cant face the truth then their is something wrong with your flat asz and need to do some squats.

  • 0:28 where you looking at justin ? ;p

  • "you mom must be exploding all the time.........with pride" For a second there i was like, what?, exploding?, but then she said pride so its all good now:)

  • YOUR ACCOUNT HAS ALOT OP VIDEOS O.O

  • Can you believe even after this his fans well some of them still hate her...lol honestly.

    Her name was trending on twitter how many months ago, people were still making the "who's that" joke, even though they clearly know who she is .

  • That was very mature of him :)

  • @4everYourFan He is not mature okay he is a liar magizer with something in his flagizer mizer.

  • that looked kinda forced.

  • He deserved it... he was 16 at the time... he came si far in that shirt period of time... and who the hell is Esperanza Spalding?!

  • Justin was pissed indeed, but he's a nice guy and a class act. You don't get to be famous like him without talent and hard work. Esperanza is a goddess, though, and she deserves everything and more. BTW, she didn't say she loved his music, but was genuinely impressed by his performance, which I believe to be true...

  • Justin kinda looks pissed.....

  • lol he flip his hair and nothing moves....XD

  • y is he touching her hair?!!! He's lucky she's being so calm about it

  • wow... she is sooo hottt!!

  • God, he's such an amazing, humble person. I was most definitely not as calm as he was when he lost.

  • She's infected.

  • I don't understand why people were upset that someone who has worked 100 million times harder than Beiber, and has way more professional training, won! I know her somewhat. She taught my brother when he attended Berklee in Boston. How dare anyone ever compare that amateur to her lol. It's disgusting. It's sad that the music industry has come to this...

  • I don't like when people touch my hair like that. haha

  • at the end she said "thank you Mr Bieber" LOL

  • Biebs checks her out at 0:29 maybe he's not as gay as we thought?

  • Comment removed

  • He was so sweet with Esperanza , (:

  • Bieber deserved to win .

  • @hedgehoghommies97 no he didn't. esperanza got there without anyone famous's help.

  • Comment removed

  • Ha....You see thats class and talent in itself the way she cleverly says...Wow your so talented and powerful ....ahem, cough splutter, laff laff laff .....get me my gun from the cupboard .....

  • Fuck off Beiber you dozy bastard

  • Comment removed

  • Clueless idiot

  • He dissed her right after on Chelsea Lately

  • Huh....worlds apart....!!.....I mean come on people, when Bieber is long gone (in about 2 years lol) Esperanza will still be here.

    Whats the difference between Esperanza and Bieber??? Spalding is in the business of making MUSIC and Bieber is in the music BUSINESS ....which translates into one is a talented musician and the other a clueless fool who knows nothing about music lol

  • @Fl3tch3rb0y Your initial points are well taken however there was no need to call Bieber a "clueless fool;" he isn't, anymore than Lady Gaga or Madonna are.

  • How... Sappy!

  • I would hate to be obliged to say what I feel to the camara especially when they are acts that may never cross paths. It looks so uncomfortable, the commercial scene is a shocking contrast to the life of a true composer with strengths in various instruments. Justin is not to blame for pursuing his career and is talented at his age its just radio has a flaw so everyone is in preconditioned state wanting to hear the same kind of acts that have been on radio like usher, when there is so much more

  • i dont like justin bieber but he was cool about this. Unlike his stupid fans

  • @luis3826 For a sixteen year old he was quite gracious and friendly and most likely he and Spalding will never ever meet again!

  • All I can say is that, Justin Bieber's reaction:''I like your hair''and''I'm not mad at all!'' While his fans reaction:Who the f*** is Esperanza Spalding?'' JB I may not like you but i like your music, you have ALOT more class than his fans!

  • that stupid punk should be on his knees while talking to Miss Spalding.

  • @KFKeeper Wow, so even when Justin does the right thing, you still seem to try and make him feel like shit. He can never win. Its time for you fuckers to grow up, honestly!

  • woooooow @ "thank you Mr Bieber" and his "no problem" towards the end. I guess he really is "at the top of the pyramid"..I wonder if he has the power to ruin careers too lol.....no..seriously.....

  • People can bash this boy all they want but Justin Bieber is a sweetheart. He is a very charming young man with Ms. Esperanza Spalding. I lol'ed when he touched her hair, somehow I knew he would. I would be compelled to touch it too and I am a black chick. lol And to all the Bieber fans bashing Ms Spalding for winning, how about learning some respect for other artists like your idol? You represent him so act right.

  • @treestar

    Well said!

  • WOW esperanza and justin are REAL GOOD ACTORS

  • And obviously they get along,so why can't Beliebers accept she won? I am a belieber,but yeah. Some took it overboard. Sorry,If I may have seemed rude before,I didn't mean to be! Esperanza is amazing though,she did deserve that award :)

  • @SavannahIsTheName bieber fans are joke.

  • so if justin bieber is nominated then he HAS to win? thats stupid, and unfair on the other nominees.

  • did he touch her hair OH HELL NAW....just kidding, cute interview

  • He seems quite sweet. I can tell it's an act but, he tried. Yah the girls threatening to kill her, or Selena arent beliebers, the are physcos

  • i bet he almost blew up in his mind that he didn't win. haha sucka

  • @BNess66 RIGHT?? Like I looooove Esperanza Spalding and I even though I'm not a fan of Justin Bieber's music I still think that he has a lot of class and he's talented, but that was just...........so.......fuckin­g......AWKWARD.

  • @atnbrittazniak i agree sooo awkward

  • Esperanza to Bieber: "I love your music"

    Hahahah I highly doubt that

  • @MrSaxhero Who says she can't enjoy his music? Perhaps she doesn't love it, doesn't mean she hates it either.

  • @andagii she hates it. i know. an artist as talented as esperanza can't possibly like crappy auto-tuned bieber songs.

  • She's soo coool !

  • i love esperanza spalding... x and her hair. x

  • Lol he just put his hand in there, what is it exactly that makes people do that? lol!

  • @OmoItsekiri if he'd done that to me I would've knocked him out! hate it when people touch my fro. it's disrespectful even if they don't mean to be...

  • @grapparella lol true say

  • Justins such a flirt! haaah love it

  • hahahaha!

    good thing a REAL ARTIST WINS over some trash bieber pop star

  • she definitely deserves the award. After all, she went to Berklee College of Music, one of the best schools of music in the world. 

  • @xXdenisseeeXx NOT ONLY THAT She was the youngest proffessor ever there.

  • @BoxedxxFreak And furthermore.............berkle­e is an okay school at best

  • @BoxedxxFreak Spalding wasn't a professor; she was an instructor.

  • @SatchmoSings In music, professor and instructor are interchangeable when used as a college reference. But no, I'm pretty sure professor would be the correct term O.o "Spalding was hired by Berklee College of Music, becoming one of the youngest professors in the institution's history,[23] at age 20"

  • @BoxedxxFreak First of all, on the college-level professor and instructor are NOT interchangeable at all; they do mean two very specific and different things.

    I also looked at her Wikipedia article you're quoting from and the footnote [23] is a dead-end; I would assume the author of the Wikipedia article made a mistake because to be a professor, implicit in that, is to hold a PhD which Spalding didn't and still doesn't.

  • @SatchmoSings Yes, a professor usually holds a PhD, but you cant tell me every professor in the world has a PhD. And yes it is interchangeable because technically, a college conductor is not a professor even though they teach and could have a Phd cause they don't lecture. Would you please tell me where you read that "instructor" was a more appropriate term because I haven't heard anything about that.

  • @SatchmoSings whether she was an instructor or a professor, the meaning in my comment remains the same, so I don't understand why that correction was necessary. Also, neither definition is specific whatsoever.

  • @BoxedxxFreak I just showed you what the difference was; even a high-school dropout can be an instructor; it takes a PhD to be a PROFESSOR.

    You're just one of "these people" that's incapable of learning anything, let alone admitting you're wrong.

    That and you've never been to college, otherwise you'd know the difference.

  • @SatchmoSings Yea, well shes not a high-school dropout, so........ok? NOT ALWAYS. And let's say I am wrong, does that make her any less great? ? Whether she was an instructor or a professor she was the youngest, and my point is the same.

    Fine, she is technically not a professor, but she is recognized as such and "professor" is a term that is often used loosely.

  • @SatchmoSings

    You dont even know me? I am in college and so stop making assumptions. I AM capable of leaning things, otherwise i wouldn't be a biochemistry major. Even if i was wrong, I wouldn't admit it to you because you are being really pedantic.

  • @BoxedxxFreak I'M pedantic! I'm having a good laugh!

  • @BoxedxxFreak Fair enough; I knew you had some good grace in you; I'm not being patronizing, so help me.

    I have the highest regard for those that major in stuff like college-level math and the sciences; I know I could never do it; best of luck to you in your studies and keep enjoying good music, too.

  • @SatchmoSings Well, now that you say that it's easy to admit that I was wrong. Instructor probably is a better term, but when I research it "professor" always comes up. I have a hard time admitting when I'm wrong if I feel like somebody is being pedantic...but then again, who doesn't?

    Yeaaaaa. I think I'm one of the only people in my major class who is going to do research and not just medicine...its pretty intimidating to me. Thanks, and you too :) question, what was your major?

  • @BoxedxxFreak Remember, Dr. Jonas Salk was a physician who never went into private medical practice, at least he didn't until after he came up with the polio vaccine (I'm not at all familiar with that part of his life/career).

    As for my own major in college, to be honest I'm a HS drop-out!

  • @SatchmoSings I actually didn't know that :O woahhh! I have not done very much research when it comes to science history yet because I am not that far in my studies. Plus, I put most of my energy into violin so you just taught me something new.

    Ahhh I see. School isn't for everybody, and I mean that...it's really not.

    I see you like Brahms? I am working on the violin concerto now. are you a fan of Ravel?

  • @BoxedxxFreak Here on "Youtube" there are two recordings of the Brahms Violin Concerto performed by Heifetz; I prefer the earlier one recorded in 1939 with Koussevitzky and the Boston Symphony Orchestra and yes, I like Ravel.

    Is there anything specific that impresses you regarding this work?

    School is important if you need to learn something pretty specific such as what you're studying; if I did tell you about the "education" that I did have, I must admit, it all came from "The Street"!

  • Not to sound dumb but i didnt hear about Esperanza Spalding until i watched the "Chad Vader Grammies Upset" shes like a ghost in the music industry...shes there but ive never seen or heard of her...wierd that she won

  • @MichaelJPrime AGREED!

  • @CarlyLuvsJustin atleast theres still a few people out there with a brain they can think with...

  • @MichaelJPrime Don't sweat it; I'd never heard of Beyonce nor Lady Gaga until about two months before this particular Grammy Awards ceremony.

  • @SatchmoSings

    You bet I was, Smart@ss.

    Hands, clean or not should not be in another persons hair, they probably don't know each other that much. And it's like a violation of another persons space.

  • You lost BIEBER (NOOB)!!!!!!

  • u know what i like about this video is when they say lady gaga name lol

  • He's such a flirt!

  • Is that kid as talented as Esperanza? Obviously not...BUT even a critic and cynic such as myself has to admit that he was quite the young gentleman...

  • It's Soo rude how his grimy hands were all over her hair -_-

  • @NeenerTaco You were there to inspect Bieber's hands, close up, I suppose.

  • Justin is such a wonderful person. :)

  • you can tell at 0:20 and 0:53 he has a hair fetish...he just couldnt stop looking and touching it...the bastard...y do white ppl love touches black ppls fluffy hair :P.

  • @kingterrell6 LOVE the grammar!

  • He's so nice to her ! That's so cute !

  • all I can say is Justin certainly has a lot more class than his fans

  • @333cale well said

  • @333cale wtf is that suppose to mean? u judge all of us fans, Just because some of us fans are not what you like dosnt mean every one of them are like that... Stop being so judgmental when you dont know the facts.

  • Justin is like dying inside lolll

  • aww, I know Justin is hurt :( But dont worry, we will get it next time.

    His such a sweet heart though.

  • @NajXD you know you can be only nominated once for that award right? LOL

  • Aw, this is nice. I got a boner from this for some reason.

  • He flipped his hair when he got uP! HA!

  • Even not being a fan I understand that most people will never see what Bieber has actually done to people and continues to do and why so many people admire him, he has inspired millions, donated to charities, is constantly doing good for others.. how could people comprehend that, so saying that the world would be a better place without Bieber is like saying to all the people who admire him that they should be different and judging them, it's all about the people in the end who made him famous

  • At the beginning, she looks at him like "What the fock, is this little focker doing here?"

  • I am so happy that I knew about Esperanza and started to like her music 3 years ago. There are a lot of good music out there other than pop music.

  • What a sense of entitlement that young thang has lol.

  • Justin acted really mature here... They are both good in what they do.

  • eachoffer

  • Did he just touch her hair? Hellz to the NO! lol

    

  • "Thank you Mr Bieber." That's so funny given she just beat him to a Grammy!

  • HER HAIR INSPIRES ME!! ITS LIKE A LIONESS MANE.

  • Justin is way better no offense just saying

  • @chalmette120 Bieber is a Pop Star; Spalding is an ARTIST; learn the difference.

  • @SatchmoSings u got that right!

  • @SatchmoSings well said...no disrespect to Beiber, but they shouldnt even be in the same category. He is obviously talented, but Spaulding is gifted. You can't watch the two perform and not see that. 

  • @codia12 I like that; "Beiber is talented but Spalding is gifted."

    Do you mind if I use it?

  • @chalmette120 ..um........

  • How could he touch her hair? It's so disrespectful !

    If a cracker touch my hair, I punch him

  • @BillieHoliday420 Yeah, but Ms. Spalding isn't a nigger; she's a GROWN WOMAN dealing with a 16 year old CHILD so obviously Ms. Spalding has more patience, dignity and class in her fingernail than you do in your whole body.

  • ESPERANZA ROCKS

    justin barbie FUCKIN SUCKS

  • hahahaha justin :D yeeeah he's funny

  • oh shit theyre good at faking jks this was cute

  • oh and ppl who keep saying she wasnt a new artist. Drake wasnt really a new artist either. I heard a few songs from him before he was famous.

  • LOL there Beiber fans, your master said she was awesome. So stop your evil rumors and psychotic hacking. You dont wanna piss off the the boss do you?

  • See JB fans,he's not angry,he's happy for her sheeh..

  • awww hes so sweet!!! :D he totally deserved that award but hes so graceful and sweet about it!! <3 she seems nice too. aww I LOVE JUSTIN BIEBER!! :D

  • she is from my area in portland oregon known as the king's neibourhood.

    big up to esperanza spalding.

  • Comment removed

  • @SavannahIsTheName Spalding is not a girl; she's OVER her 21st birthday; that makes her a WOMAN.

    Bieber is UNDER 21; that means he's a BOY.

  • @SatchmoSings My bad...

  • Comment removed

  • Excuse me,but Justins a good guy. I dont care if you hate him,if beliebers looked up to Esperanza then it would be the same as it is now. Justin donates to charities,helps out disasbled kids,and he reaches out to his fans,is that not a good person? Most celebrities dont do that!

  • @SavannahIsTheName I don't think thebassiestbassist was implying that Justin Bieber has a negative influence (or cannot have as much of a positive impact) on some girls... I simply think she meant that if more young girls admired a strong, self-respecting, musically diverse, and charismatic WOMAN like Esperanza Spalding, perhaps we would see more girls becoming self-sufficient/respecting young women, instead of emotionally unstable females whose self image is often determined by a biased media

  • @SCchicana damn that was awesome THUMBS UP!

  • @SavannahIsTheName And to follow up quickly on my last comment... If you don't think many Bieber fans have unhealthy behavior... check out video Girl Crys Because Justin Bieber Didnt Win Best New Artist!... smh... a repeat of the same behavior with Twilight movies, boy bands... the list goes on... Just saying... it's sad they don't realize the consequences to their actions :(

  • @SCchicana i saw that before up here. im sorry but that girl needs some therapy.

  • @Jdfloyd7 you must need the therapy. She is obviously totally at one with herself. If you find her a little wacky, does that means she needs a shrink? She's just creative, incredibly so! I'll bet Bieber will end up bearing his soul on the psychoanalyst's couch before she does.

  • Comment removed

  • @SavannahIsTheName Clearly that last comment just went over your head... Nobody is hating on Justin... but if you don't like accepting different perspectives or musical influences... that's YOUR personal decision

  • @SCchicana I didn't mean anything. All I said was the category was best NEW artist. Yes,I do know that some Bieber fans are crazy! To be honest,Esperanza does deserve the award,she is amazing! So is Justin,but i certainly dont expect him to win every award he is nominated for. I dont want to start any drama,so I will apologize for anything I said. Justin and Esperanza are both great people,I dont hate any of them. I'm a belieber,but I didnt go saying that she was stupid. Sorry If I seemed rude.

  • @SatchmoSings i understand that.mostly, old people r just bigots. N oh, even tho im not an adult,look at our convo. Whos acting like a child,using emotional words. Creepy old man

  • maybe if everyone stopped comparing everyone in the industry, there would be no hate. just accept different artists. they're both talented. they both deserved that award. she won. congratulations to her. get over it. the end.
