  • AHAHA!

    The Sus..suburbs? Arcade fire...

    TAKE THAT LADY GAGA

  • Sooo funny, and the crowd goes silent hahaha

  • The day Hipsters flipped their shit.

  • what the hell was lady gaga wearing??

    wtf

  • that awesome moment when your friends ask you "do you know this Arcade Fire band?"

  • Would they be faking this happiness at all? I know, "album of the year" in theory is impressive, but beating out lady antebellum, katy perry, and lady gaga isn't.

    If anything it's clarification that they've become mainstream, no?

  • I'd say this is the most deserving band that has ever won a Grammy. It would only have been better if The Strokes won it for Angles.

  • Lady Antebellum can't win em all.

  • hahah Dr. Dre is mad!!!

  • Arcade Fire winning the 2011 Grammy for Album of the year... i still have hope that we will have kick-ass music in the mainstream...

  • "what the HELL?"- win.

  • i think they are a great band and worked hard to get to where they are now,who else puts on such a great performance in public,and is true to their fans !!!!!

  • The whitest indie hipster shit band ever.

  • @bruthaflo sorry its not dubstep...

  • @bruthaflo I feel really bad for your music taste if arcade fire our "indie hipster" for you...

    Wtf do you listen to? David Guetta?

  • his parents named him Win because they knew this would happen. He was always destined for greatness.

  • I don't understand why "hipsters" were pissed that Arcade Fire won the Grammy, saying they're "sell-outs" now. Maybe I'm a terrible indie rock fan or something, but I don't understand how you can be so disloyal to your favorite band that you'd stop liking them once they started getting the fame they deserved. I'm so happy that my friends are listening to them now and I LOVE sharing the music.

  • @broadwaymelody33 you hit the head on the nail with this comment sir

  • "We're gonna go play another song cause' we like music." - Guy with cool hair.

  • One of those moment where I've never been so proud to be from Montreal. Thanks Arcade Fire!

    Un des moments où j'ai jamais été aussi fière d'être Montréalaise! Merci Arcade Fire! ;)

  • The ssss *DA FUCK?* suburbs

  • "we're gonna play another song because we like music" Thats why I love Arcade Fire. Their love for for music.

  • Maybe the first time a REAL musical artist won a major award at the Grammy's. It's good to see we still respect talent over studio produced trash. No autotune, no fake backing tracks, just pure talent.

  • They are like little kids. RESPECT for staying true to essence.

  • lol u mad Eminem fans?

    yeah, u real mad...

  • love it

  • Still HOPE for better music in this world...

    

  • We are gonna play another song cuz we like music. Take notes kids.

  • I guess the grammy voters had to do damage control after giving Taylor fucking Swift the album of the year trophy the previous year. Well deserved, I freaking love Arcade Fire.

  • The happiest moment in music history.

  • I find insulting and can't understand how they can make lady gaga, eminem and katy perry compete with Arcade Fire... In a matter of respect I think AF shouldn't even be nominated to a grammy, they aren't musicians they are pure art!

  • I would play with Arcade Fire only for food.. I´d be happy!

  • Dr. Dre is like "fucking white people -_-"

  • Seeing a band like Arcade Fire win an "album of the year" grammy gives me hope; hope for a better future for music.

  • What the hell.

    - Win Butler

  • @brendan528 thank you for the pity. means so much. they could be a good band. i just don't listen to them. they won album of the year if people actually of voted they wouldn't of. but whatever theres people out there like you that need to pick point everything i say. goodbye

  • Ssssssssssound it out, Barbra.

  • So happy for them, and they completely deserve it. The people who say they robbed Eminem - Eminem hasn't been relevant in years. Nobody cares about what he has to say, or what he's angry about this time, and nobody's parents are afraid of him any more. He's an icon and was truly great in his time, but his time has come and gone.

    Arcade Fire are hands down the best band in the world right now. If Montreal ever throws you guys out, you know you have a home here in Ireland. You know we love you!

  • @gigirpoll you have no fucking clue what you are talking about. why don't you just stop talking now... no one knew who they were . see the reason they got 2 claps from the audience

  • @gagafortheladyx33 so wait, people didn't know who they were so that doesn't make his statement true? I mean you have gaga in your name so I don't blame you for your ignorance. But I bet you measure the talent of artists by record sales and chart positions for their singles. I pity you. Maybe one day you'll understand why they're an amazing band but until then, I wish you the best.

  • thumbs up if u like the dr.dre face

  • Lol at everyone thinking Eminem got robbed. I like Eminem but Recovery was average at best compared to some of his earlier stuff. Arcade Fire were really the only nominee who deserved the award.

  • I'm pretty sure Arcade Fire where the only actual musicians in that category...well deserved.

  • MONTREALLLLLLLLLLLLLasdfgh

    

  • They deserved that grammy. Arcade Fire is an amazing band, and I hope people who siad "Whos that?" know now, and have good music in their lives

  • Merci Arcade Fire.  Montreal

  • Funny, everybody that was nominated clapped and cheered except for Eminem & Dr. Dre.

  • Love the reaction they had, like they just got away with robbing a bank. They completely deserved it nonetheless, but for them to beat out Hip/Hop, Pop, Rap is just an amazing feeling. My favorite album of all time.

  • lol at Russel Brand's reaction.Bottom right

  • Look at that weirdo Lady Gaga, What kind of fucking world are we living in now, Im a Recovering Coma Patient from 1989, I wake up to the future to see some weird shit thats out today. Wheres the doc and his flying delorean, get me the hell back to wrere things made sense.

  • @XvxBERSERKxvX when did you "wake up"?

  • MONTREAL REPRESENT OH YEAH!

    AF<3

  • Arcade Fire deservedly won Album of the Year, let's make sure that real music keeps winning. WASTING LIGHT FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR!

  • finally....talent before produced music in a studio....

  • I'm just frickin glad that it wasn't a pop singer who won album of the year

  • The most deserving!

  • Clearly "The Suburbs" was not in the script for that evening

  • "we're gonna go play another song 'cause we like music"

    fucking legendary

  • she doesn't even know the band argh!

  • 23 people just got lost in The Suburbs because they listen to the f*cking mainstream artists like Gaga, Perry and Eminem.

  • Eminem in 2000: "who the fuck is Steely Dan!?!"

    Eminem in 2011: "who the fuck is Arcade Fire!?!"

  • @whymenogood Steely Dan - a legendary act - although their 2000 album sucked. Arcade Fire- The Suburbs went to no.1 without a pop radio hit or a major label push - they sold out 2 shows at Madison Square garden right before the album came out and it sold almost 160,000 the first week - keep in mind they are an indie band with no pop radio exposure - they also went to no.1 in several other countries.

  • @Starkardur True that. Eminem doesn't know shit.

  • "The SSSSSS*me screaming OMGG YES!!!!*... uburbs."

  • teenage dream=seriously

    need you know=cut the shit

    recovery=sorry marshall but your too mad all the time

    the fame monster=._______.

    The suburbs=great way to start the decade

  • They are insane!!!! Yes there's still hope for music :)

    But Barbara S was like WTF IS THIS??? LOL!!!!!

  • yo you can hear every1 screaming eminem fuck this shit eminem should it won it

  • @mvp2406 hahaha

  • i bet everyone whose album didn't start with "the" was disappointed

  • Look at Eminem. 0:17

    hes the only one who's not clapping

  • 22 people have never heard of Arcade Fire

  • When I watch this I always tell myself,

    "WE WON THAT NIGHT"

    people still have souls somewhere

  • Whenever I'm feeling a bit down.. I just come and watch this and smile so hard and feel so happy and proud. Wohhhhh I love you all, AF

  • I remember seeing this. I knew they had to win the nomination as soon as they came out I never thought they could win after the disaster from the "album of the year" last year, I imagine other people's faces when they heard The Suburbs, Arcade Fire. Like the Arctic Monkeys would say "SUCK IT AND SEE".

    Arcade Fire saves the Grammy Awards'11 thank God for that! :D

  • wow. uh. win sounds...like a huge nerd XD

  • Win's kind of a nerd, I realized. xD

  • Don't understand how people can say that eminem deserved it, his music sucks, happy for Arcade Fire. MON AMOUR ARCADE FIRE!

  • hahahaha, Streisand was in such disbelief she stuttered.

  • " We're gonna play another song, because we like music. "

    That's it.

  • This restores my hope in the industry that Arcade Fire could win over the big-name, gimmicky recording artists they were put up against (except Lady Antebellum, they seem cool in their own right).

    They just love music, no weird gimmicks, no strange costumes, no forced agendas, just music. Yay! :)

  • marika anthony shaw

  • It was so funny that they bleep'd out the french parts over the Canadian channels! Hahaha better not let them separatists talk!

  • Comment removed

  • very well-deserved. i was so happy for them.

  • I was surprised the won only because they say the Grammy winners are choosen based on album sales and radio play and their sales and radio play were no where near lady gaga and katy perry (which I don't like katy) so it was a little strange that they won.

  • @xxviciousbeautyxx Well what plays on commercial radios these days is SHIT, so it's good they won.

  • @alexlair You misunderstood my sarcasm! I find it humorous that a in a bilingual country, a french/english band gets edited for speaking their language! Viva Quebec!

  • Barbara Streisand was shocked in the Suburbs.

  • 'Pay the cost for what we've lost.' Half Light II is my favourite song on this exceptional album. Well done Arcade Fire. You deserve this award.

  • I would have been shocked if they DIDN'T win !!

  • I like how when they announced the winner all the other nominees started clapping except Eminem, Dr. Dre and his wife..

  • So well deserved! 

  • "The SSSSSS...*thinking WTF*... uburbs".

  • Thanks God I can mark comments as spam on YouTube. It's funny that the main wave in music is not respecting artists now-a-days, which is promoted by people I know they spend the whole day trolling in the internet. I'm delighted Arcade Fire won, I love them and The Suburbs is magnificent but that doesn't give anyone the right to disrespect the other nominees as if the Grammys were a head-to-head competition. The day people respect each other's musical tastes will be the day music will succeed.

  • @mentonerodominicano They are defending their favorite band just like some teeny bops defend their autu-tune shit. Thank youtube I can mark your comment as spam too. Go Arcade Fire!

  • @mentonerodominicano Arcade Fire deserved that Grammy.

  • I'm a die hard lady gaga fan but........ARCADE FIRE IS MY LIFE AND SOUL CONGRATS TO ALL INDIE ROCK LOVERS!!! (including me hehe :-)

  • I understand disappointment that a favorite does not win - I cannot understand "Dislike" of this band though. We aacn have favs loosing and still respect winners - its not an US or THEM concept...

  • SUFFERIN' SUCCOTASH!

    Arcade Fire = WINning.

  • It's about time good music wins over good sales!

  • "Were gonna play another song because we like music.". That's why you won. Because you liked music, a little more then money. Thank god for a band like them.

  • too sad too sad :(

  • "and the Grammy goes to...thhhe suburbs??" lol wow

  • i love the chick at 0:15 who screams YEAH!!!!!!

  • At least Katy Perry was being a good sport. Lady Gaga probably wore that hat thing to shroud her disappointed expression or shame if she lost, and Eminem is a dick.

  • Win won!!! hahaha. How does it fell kicking nasty gaga`s ass?

  • @SpiffaJ YOU LEAVE WIN ALONE! XD

  • @SpiffaJ it's called a fuckin' accent.

  • @Eyepiercings Actually, it's called a lisp...

  • russel brand seemed pleased either way haha :P

  • "We're gunna play a song cuz we like music."

    Classic... Because all the other nominees don't care about music like Arcade Fire does

  • lmao at barbra streisand "the ssssssuburbs"

  • sucked in you mainstream faggots who truly didn't deserve a grammy for music that has no meaning and mostly didn't write

  • Eminem is such a piece of shit. He didn't even clap. Arcade Fire is so beyond all those other "artists". They are truly sophisticated, innovative, ARTISTS! Music isn't dead yet, people! We're going out fighting!!

  • @dubrob210 white boys can't rap. its not an opinion, sweetheart, its a fact.

  • @dubrob210 Don't you disrespect the great Win Butler.

  • Mike Mo must be proud

  • I love the announcers voice at 0:13. It's like she can't freaking believe it either.

  • 0:13 THE SSSSSUBURBS

  • David Bowie turned down lady gaga for a duet. Arcade Fire already made a duet with Bowie like 5 years ago. He loves there music.

  • We're gonna go play another song, because we like music. I love that

  • You know what fuck that wigger eminem, at least he could have clapped like the other artists...

    Hip Hop is dead ffs move on!

  • WOOHOOO!! thank god the grammy people got one thing right! Arcade Fire absolutely deserved to win such a prestigious award! Their music is some of the best I've ever heard...

  • "The Suburbs" = Album of the Year.

    "Funeral"= Album of the century.-

  • We're gonna play another song, because we like music."

    And THAT'S why they won over the other 4.

  • @W3R3W00F I'm no Lady Gaga fan, and Katy Perry's not the most lyrically talented artist out there, but I believe that both Eminem and Lady Antebellum truly have a passion for real music. Don't be so presumptuous in believing that only indie bands (whose music I personally enjoy) like the music they play.

  • @jtabaniag yeah but pop music began to loose its taste thanks to artist like cali swag district and gaga.

  • Hahahahah the look on Russell Brand's face.........yep yep fair enough

  • Best Band ever !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • "Holy Shit Scott I can't believe we just won." - Win Butler

  • I think the nominees of this year were a joke, excepting Arcade Fire, there were plenty of albums that got better critics than this ones. the only one that was near was The Fame Monster; albums like Monáe's an Cee Lo's were one of the best this year.

  • God gave them their ability to even strum a guitar... Such ignorance...

  • Congrats to Arcade Fire. It was the best album of the year by far.

  • Lady Gaga and Eminem have won more Grammys than Arcade Fire and the nominations outside of The Suburbs were very weak so even though the Grammys gave their top prize to the most deserving album it is still hard to respect this award.

  • @rhcprh Totally dude! What's even more of a joke is that the rap and pop awards are on the main stage while the real discaplined music like jazz, blues, classical, bluegrass, etc are early in the day with a much smaller audience and rarely televised. The Grammys have lost a lot of respect, but at least year they made the right choices in the winners; namely Arcade Fire and Esperanza Spaulding! I'm a metal fan as well, and no one noticed Iron Maiden's Grammy for best metal performance!

  • "We're gonna play another song, 'cause we like music" That's what makes them better.

  • @pijlenboog23 One of the best lines I've heard in an acceptance speech. Like them or not at least they care about their music

  • And the winner is...

    The... suburbs??!?

    haha

  • Em was mad lol...

    he didnt even clap for the winner

  • @hyobin0114 Eminem wasn't there. Those are the producers ''and stuff''.

  • The Grammies are confusing, Arcade Fire win best album but lose out in every other category? Plus how Katy Perry even got nominated for best album i'll never understand.

  • @battlep0t How Eminem ever gets nominated is beyond me!! He can't play an instrument; he can't sing out side of rapping, meaning he can't carry a tune or sing in different keys. Music is a discapline, and the band that has the most ability won this award! Awesome, I love Arecade Fire!!!

  • so exactly how does a group that lost in all other categories win Album Of The Year? This crap is rigged

  • @Argee11 Saying it's rigged when you don't agree makes you sound ridiculous. Anyway you obviously don't understand how album of the year works. It's not how popular all the songs were together or if they were the best in their genre. In actuality it's about how well the songs flowed together, their placement in the album, and the overall themes of the album being within all the songs. So if you'd bothered to listen to their album before you would've realized it embodied all that perfectly.

  • @Argee11

    "lost in all the other categorys" you mean best alternative album? it has to do with the nmber of votes in each category, meaning they probably had fewer votes in album of the year but it still managed to carry them further because they had the most votes in the category, tard. and really if you listen to eminem/katy parry, not so much gaga all the song writing and emotion is fucking weak

  • I'm not saying arcade fire isn't a good band, but the grammys fuck over rap all the time. In 2001 the MMLP had the best reviews yet steely dan won with a mediocre reviewed album because it was 'their time.' Now it was supposed to be eminem's 'time' and his mediocre reviewed album lost to a best reviewed album. The grammys contradicts itself, arcade's fire first album was better yet they didn't get recognition from them. And arcade fire didn't even win in their category yet they won this award.

  • LOL at Eminem just sitting there like he doesn't care when they announced who won! haha xD

  • @SickerThanThou u are a class a ass....dont listen to arcade fire then dickhead.....

  • @comacful That i exactly what I plan on doing when it comes to music: not listening to Arcade Fire, while you learn to spell. I guess we all have our own goals in life, now don't we ?

  • @SickerThanThou..... dont think there,s any spelling issues here...class a....top of the class...number 1....ass..as in donkey....the rest is self explanatory....grammatical issues on your part certainly..."that i exactly plan to do" stylish use of the english prose....

  • @comacful Ever heard of the word "typo" ? I unintentionally left out one letter in the word "is", as in "That IS exactly what I plan on doing". And you're right, I messed up: you do not need to learn how to spell, you need to learn how to punctuate !

  • @SickerThanThou Good for you! You have a brain! Now use it.

  • @SickerThanThou You love Justin Bieber. We get it.

  • @AvaPozen And you are the poster child for "lack of originality".

  • @SickerThanThou You sound like people shoved Arcade Fire down your throat. No one compelled you to come to this page. Here's an original idea: If you don't like 'em, don't listen to 'em.

  • @AvaPozen Oh, so I can't have an interest in musical news and the Grammy Awards anymore ? I don't listen to Arcade Fire, I only watched a video of them winning a Grammy Award. And if you were from Montreal, you would know that Arcade Fire have really been shoved down my throat and pretty much everybody else's for years now by complacent critics and so-called "specialists".

  • "we're gonna play another song cause WE LIKE MUSIC"

    fucking love you guys

  • The ss-suberbs...? XD

    Praise be to Arcade Fire!

  • they deserved that win so frickin much!

  • Wow they beat Lady Gaga, I guess it IS possible to fight and win against the satanic beast, eh?

  • @artuno1207 lol funniest comment ive seen all day
