Who is Esperanza Spalding? 2011 Grammy Winner Best New Artist

[stevesellers]

Esperanza won because of her originality. Beibs is talented, but he is mini usher.

[H3drummer]

Bieber's got his whole life in front of him he'll probs win some other award. He's got a lot more of a fan base than esperanza or any other contemporary jazz musician and he's gonna be financially steady for pretty much his whole life. Let Miss Spalding have this victory. Also in 5-10 years no one is gonna remember who won and lost anyway so whats the point in getting so worked up about it?

[H3drummer]

@rainonmebi Did you hear the video.

But to give a my 2 cents on who she is, she's a great bass player who is receiving wide recognition for her abilities without having to sexualize herself, a talented singer and composer, and she's at the fore front of jazz fusion trying to connect to young people with her incredible music.

Note: she a another record before her "debut" entitled Junjo

[rainonmebi]

who is she and how in the hell did she beat drake and justin?!

[thevlitz]

I'm glad they finally found some one who knows what they're doing. Esperanza is the hope for todays music generation.

[jazzbassist23]

@iluvampirediaries101 You're right! It wasn't Esperanza vs. Justin Bieber, THERES NO CONTEST. Esperanza Spalding plays beautiful music, im not too sure what Bieber does but im sure its not that.... ;)

[jalenmichaelheggie]

listen to justin bieber then...go listen to Esperanza Spalding and you'll see why he didnt get it... #ThatIsAll

[julianpardo]

biebers come and go, esperanza spaldings transcend musical history

[thechamp1314]

Instead of Her JOJO Should of been Nominated and should of Won.

JOJO>>>>>Esperanza Spalding.

[wardragonprime]

It sounds like Bieber's popularity worked against him. It's like what happened to Eminem.

[jenthomas71]

U go Ezperanza !!!!

[CharismaaHD]

i personalyy dont like justin bieber but isnt the best new artist award supposed to go to the person that people have been talking about the most lately.. i dont hear anyone tlkin bout esparanza. all i hear is justin bieber -_- all i say is that it should be her. thats my opinion. but oh well, shyt happen, Congrats Esparanza

[rudyABDUL]

This guy got her bio all messed up! Brian, dude do some RESEARCH!

[timehorse0810]

and one more thing i liked who won because she sings jazz , it had to do with real music not this now a days music it suck compared to the 1900's music and im in high school

[timehorse0810]

you know if people actually take the time to listen to her she really good and your know what justin bieber was close at winning but didnt so just let it go he will have his chance again if hes as good as you guys say he is ok so im actually happy about who won i didnt know her but now i do and she sing great so there i and i dont care if you dislike this comment or send me a message telling me y he should of won i wont read it

[ronpacoman]

I don't even understand how Justin Bieber got in all of these conversations.

We're talking Best New Artist. Not an award for Artist with the most teenage girl fans and a 3-D movie with a contradicting title..

Yeah the kid has talent, but its nothing compared to Esperanza's stuff.

STOP SMOKING THE POP CULTURE.

[annaciaraally]

ok guys again i say it. calm ur little asses down. no one heard of adele either when she won the grammy for best new artist. why? cuz.they.are.actually.NEW. ddduuuuurrrpppp. and just cuz u havent heard of esperanza, doesnt mean she has any less talent

[ShannonDai1]

justin bieber should have won the grammys not her fuck this bitch

[nattynativekid17]

@ShannonDai1 you have terrible taste in music if your serious. watch some interviews of her and listen to some of her music. you might actually like her. be open minded. i think she is the best new artist of our time. she won the grammy for a good reason.

[ShannonDai1]

justin bieber should have won the grammys

[SheriseBabey]

NEVER HEARD OF THE BITCH.

[stylecollective]

@SheriseBabey

Actually, she not a bitch, she's an absolutely lovely person with a gracious spirit who is kind to every one that crosses her path. She is a respected musician in the world of jazz who has traveled the globe for years now, bringing joy to mature audiences who actually understand music...you know, people who can actually tell an eighth from a quarter note and know when a person is singing a half measure differently than what's on the sheet music in front of them.

[SheriseBabey]

@stylecollective omg, i just realised i was out of order to hate on her, she's just living her dream, all because i havn't heard of her doesn't mean other people haven't. I'm so sorry if i offended you :/ i'm the bitch.

[rudyABDUL]

I never heard Justin sing but I have heard Esperanza and she is an EXTREMELY TALENTED artist. Justin Bieber may deserve a Grammy but this year is not his year, it's Esperanza's time and she is just as deserving of a Grammy as he is. Justin has many years ahead of him and will have many more nominations but this year is NOT his time.

[lovebaby458]

@rudyABDUL U MUST LIVE UNDER A ROCK

[Thinkproduction]

ps- justin bieber is new... just so ya know. and he has some amazing talent. all us bliebers are not saying that she sucks. We are all just surprised that she beat justin bieber. best new artist, is an amazing award! and congrats to her, but. people should know who she is. and no one did until now. stop hating on bieber because you are jealous of his talent and succes.

[sydneykings312]

Bieber fans are being way to over dramatic. You guys are saying he worked and stuff well guess what, she did too. Just because she's not very well known doesn't mean she's not good. She's a great musician and she deserved it. The grammys is not a popularity concert and she didn't choose herself to win this award, the grammy association did so stop bashing her. JB is young and there's more awards for him in the future. There's not alot of jazz musician that gets recognition so let her enjoy this.

[ksib3]

Esperanza is awesome and I'm so happy for her win!!!! The Grammy Award is given to recognize outstanding achievements in the music industry and Esperanza has definitely shown her talent! Congratulations to an awesome musician and singer.

[aalex4354]

First of all : yes, I am a Bieber fan. But this doesen`t mean he has to win everything. But no one can disagree with me that this was his year ! I mean all th Bieber Fever.. Hello? As much as the haters hate him doesen`t make a difference that he had so much fans .. And I don`t say that Esperanza isn`t a good musician, but when almost nobody knows her, how could she possibly win? Bieber had such a huge succes beside that he has haterz too, he still hat so much more Nr. 1 hits and fans than her!

[millienl]

Justin is young and honestly not as talented. he'll get over it! it's nice to see the grammy's actually recognize real artists on the show and not just the preshow telecast.

[SPOONSWAGIN]

Justin deserved this award, everyone i know agrees, lady gaga deserved the other one but i think justin deserved this one. If Justin had won this video would have over 2 million views and the reason it barely has any is because only a few ppl know who the esperenza chick is. I respect her as an artist she is probably very talented, but justin deserved this award more than anything and i think kanye should've been there for him to interpret the award,

thats all :/

[WhatsAYak]

@SPOONSWAGIN - Kanye would interpret the award as a well-earned recognition for a talented artist who worked hard...oh wait, did you mean "interrupt"? Yeah, I'm sure Kanye would win points by comandeering the mike to announce that the BNA Grammy should've gone to a teeny-pop "flavor of the month" act over someone far more talented...LOL

[SPOONSWAGIN]

@WhatsAYak no, i meant interpret actually, i know what im saying, and Justin Bieber won a brit and the brit awards are bigger than the grammy awards so it shows he is the better artist. Everyones different and we dont have all the same opinions but if you do, dislike justin thats fine for you, im just shearing my opinion on what i think was fair and true and if you disagree thats fine. the world would be nowhere without different opinions so thank you :)

[ladybott5]

For all those who say "J. Bieber should have won" the Grammy's is not a f-ing popularity contest!!!!!!!!!! The Grammy's are given to those who have achieved excellence with in the music field........ i.e have talent....real talent. This young woman is an accomplished musician not some one hit wonder has-been. GET OVER IT!!!

That young boy has years to go before he becomes something great. He will be just fine.

[MsKinkydiva]

I respect her music and talent, but I think that Drake should have won. He was everywhere last year!

[bieberfan30]

of course bieber shouldve won because peuple know him and nobody even new esperanza. he has ALOT more talen than her!!!!! and so what if im a bieber fan. we all know he is way better than that nobody!!

[aradom18]

@bieberfan30 obviously you don't know what you're talking about you clearly don't understand music. Justin Bieber is not a great singer he sings flat when he's performing live but nobody hears it as they're all caught up in the hype.

Esperanza is very talented she is a better singer than justin bieber by far. The grammy awards is not a popularity contest you fool get over it! It's not her fault she won her music is of good quality and as nobody didn't know who she was, well they know now punk.

[kmartin051]

Well i was one who never heard of Esperanza being fromTrinidad & Tobago ....but i immediately searched and listened and listened and the more i listened i liked and fell in love with her music....im not to sure that she deserved to win ...but so be it....she won....and i think given a chance jazz will reach a new level.

[nicole101megan101]

Justin should of won he worked so hard and it is his dream to win a grammy !!! (:

[MrRudeboy45]

@nicole101megan101 k, well just watch this video and it shows how much work esperanza puts in

[limegreensuspenders]

im not a fan of justin but i think he should hav one cause a lot of people no him more then her.

[158zoso]

i doubt anyone has heard of her

[jamiecullen987]

Never heard of her ... Justin bieber shouldve won ... eh.. its history now ! Good luck next year ! * two thumbs up :D *

[whistlesbass]

she has talent i even said who the hell is esparanza spalding? looked her up and was amazed. singing and playing bass at the same time can beaver do that

[lovebaby458]

@whistlesbass yah he can acually its BIEBER dip shit go suck ass

[awsomeepicretardsXD]

What I dont get is how they can have artist of the year for 2011, when we havent even passed 2 months in 2011 o.O

[zxdr2]

am glad justin nor drake wond the grammy

[MultiPettan]

Won a grammy award for best new singer 2011, yet I've never heard of her...

[zanessagurl101]

Im sorry but justin fans are really crazy, i mean after this girl won they spammed her with hate comments. I mean.. Justin is 16? He has plenty of time to win a grammy. Srsly bieber fans, play fair- nobody likes a sore loser.

[deebastard77]

Just goes to show how Americans know nothing about real music. It sad especially since they invented Jazz and all, but people from around the world knew about this girl for years, I discovered her about 1.5 years ago and haven't stopped listening to her since. She's great and she deserves her win...Go Esparanza!!!

[RJBism]

@deebastard77

i could not agree with you more!!! kids now a days have bad taste in music. I'm so glad esperanza won!!

[MrWatercolourmike]

I love jazz but didn't know of her. Am going to check out more of her music. Like what little I have heard

[simdisiwe]

How many talented singers like Esperanza who don't get air play and she's not even new artist she has been around for quite sometime. Here in Europe we know her very well.

[Nerdylation]

I hadn't heard of her until yesterday afternoon. and I hadn't heard any of her work until 10 minutes ago. but she is an amazing artist.

[mscubana]

Esperanza IS NOT NEW, but SHE'S GODDAMN TALENTED. If Stevie Wonder want's you to do collaborative work with him, then you know that YOU ARE TALENTED.

[nekomajin6]

WHO THA FUCK IS JUSTIN BIEBER

[iJVProd]

ESPERANZA is talented! JUSTIN BIEBER is good looking!

The Award is BEST New Artist...

[mayraq1492]

no one knew about her cuz shes a NEW ARTIST, hence she won the BEST NEW ARTIST award!

[lollyrollcostey]

justin bieber fan grow up she deserved it . Justin bieber cant win every award

[brittJonasFan]

honestly...i thnk it was rigged...i mean shes good and and all but me AND all the people i know has NEVER heard of her...

[HannahhJanee55]

Justin Bieber Shuld Of Won

[bisfan1]

BIEBER SHOULD'VE WON! PERIOD!!!!! END OF STORYY

[LovelyLyndra]

i did think he should have won but she is nice 2.

[RES8888]

I didn't know who she was, but i didn't care at the time, i just want justin to lose and he did, so naturally i was and still am very happy.

[loqito21]

Take that Justin Beiber!

[superelizabet101]

Omg , There Was Clevver Music ?! I only Thought There Was Clevver Tv And Clevver Movies ....

[154Ann]

Que bueno.Me da gusto por èlla..canta esplendido, me agrada.

por cierto quien es justin bieber? alguien puede responderme?

[styrossss11]

@NickyNick227 more farsighted people say he's gonna be something more than what he is now in the music history. people like the producer of MJ and Madonna who supported them right before people really believed in them. Now its just the beginning and this is why you think he's shallow etc. Just hang on...

[pudster12345]

Go Esperanza Spalding you deserve more than Bieber

[VideoPictureBox]

Who is Esperanza? That is a question I have been asking all the time! Finally! Answers!

[EspadaXZ]

Yo this bitch robbed Bieber straight up, and im not that big of a bieber fan.

[edwardandbellaroks]

@lovesucksalways yeah, in an interview he even said he was disappointed, but he's happy she won. so if he's not mad, then why should we? and i LOVE Paramore but I'm ok with Train's win. next year for Paramore too!!!

[lovebaby458]

SHE CAN GO TO HELL !!! yah mabey shes new but for a WHOLE YEAR being new i should of atleast heard of the girl !! bieber has worked his ass off more then enough so he shoulda won !!! idc wht otha ppl say she DIDNT deserve it if she was the best new artist then MORE THEN ALOT of ppl should kno who she is !! BIEBER ALL THE WAY ANY WAY EVERYDAY !!

[simdisiwe]

@lovebaby458 So tell me how she can be known if she doesn't get air play you can't compare her and Bieber of course. Tell me how many times you hear Bieber on the radio did they even bother to play artist like Esperanza?? .In Europe she's known very well and it not the first time that artist like her are more popular in Europe than in America it happened in the past and being popular doesn't make your the best some artist get more attention while others are kept in the box.So don't get mad.

[lovebaby458]

@simdisiwe ya i can compare her to bieber! where i live hes on the radio all the time nd honey i neva EVA hear esperenza on the radio cuz i looked up some of her music nd neva heard any of it! and i never said anything bout being more popular im say idk who the fuck she is so obviously shes not the best BIEBER IS! oh did u kno he sold out the garden in boston for his concert IN 22 MINUTES? so he did deserve it hes worked his off y dnt u just go see his movie !! i will get mad JUSTIN DESERVED IT

[simdisiwe]

@lovebaby458 Don't get mad in pop music you never know today they like you tomorrow they split and wash you out.SO GRAMMY WENT TO THE NEW ARTIST ESPERANZA.It doesn't mean that music is going to change because she won the Grammy she's a great artist for me she deserve it.

[lovebaby458]

[simdisiwe]

@lovebaby458 I really don't care how many fans he's got as long as I'm not one of them its OK for me and his not a new artist.

[lovebaby458]

[lovebaby458]

@simdisiwe nigga i will cool down wen u admit he deserved 2 win esperendas md fuck urself she dosnt do shit mabey she has a good voice but she dosnt work as hard as jb so u kno wht fuck u nd esperandesasdas fukers

[WhatsAYak]

@lovebaby458 - Bieber lost, get over it...and your claim that "she doesn't work as hard" as your idol is laughable, seeing that Ms. Spalding clawed her way up the ladder on her own and didn't get a lucky break riding on Usher's coattails.

[lovebaby458]

@WhatsAYak yah if she worked harder i might of atleast heard of her jb worked hard VERY HARD

[Skyjuice70]

@lovebaby458 thats an ignorant comment. If she worked harder?? lol..She's in a different Genre of music. Have you ever heard of Jovan? Probably not..he is one of the most well known singer/musicians in the world and he's from Brazil..but his music is not known to you because its a different Genre and he's not mainstream..that doesnt mean he didnt work hard. THINKING BEFORE YOU WRITE must becomming a thing of the past on here.

[lovebaby458]

@Skyjuice70 well its true nd she didnt deserve the grammy get over it yah i do kno who jovan is my music teacher had us listen to his music i guess it was good but w.e I DO THINK BEFORE I WRITE HONEY BUN she might work for wht she got but jb works EXTREAMLY hard kk

[Skyjuice70]

@lovebaby458 You're so emotional. You're cussin and getting upset way too easy over a few comments/opinions. Why are you letting perfect strangers on here such as myself get you so upset? geez. Get a grip and try not to wear your emotions on your sleeve.

[lovebaby458]

@Skyjuice70 BAAHAH stfu im myself im not so emotional ur just annoying ALL I GOT LEFT TO SAY IS JUSTIN STILL DESERVED THT GRAMMY I DNT WANNA TLK 2 U KNO MORE BYEEEEEEEEEE

[simdisiwe]

@lovebaby458 Oh!! Dear god calling me "NIGGA" that doesn't make me angry at all :)))))).I already admitted that ESERANZA WORN I don't know what you wants more and stop this OK.

[lovebaby458]

@simdisiwe um im srry but u rlly need 2 learn how 2 make sense yah mambey i dnt spell right ON PURPOSE cuz im on a freakin computer gosh u ppl who say tht r annoying! well u make no sense '' SHE WORN'' ? wtf? '' i dont know whats you more and stop this OK'' pceeee

[Skyjuice70]

@lovebaby458 she doesnt work as hard?? lol..you have no idea. That young lady if anything work even harder. her music is just in another genre. Go on her website and see her tour dates and the many places all over the world she performs. Educate yourself about Esperanza then come back and retract your words on here when you're done.

[lovebaby458]

@Skyjuice70 noo i still dnt think she worked hard as jb hes like one of the most hard working stars nd made esperenenzas good but she dnt work as hard i give all credit to justin hes amazing!!! y dnt u go on justins page see allthe tour dates hes already done and still has more ! hes got TALENT

[Skyjuice70]

@lovebaby458 I'm trying not to be disrepectful to you because you're not aware of what you're writing. Eperanza Spalding has been making music and touring before Justin Bieber was even discovered. FACT ! He is a new artist. FACT ! He has his songs and music written and composed for him. FACT ! I understand you're into the bubblegum phase of your life where you think JB is incredible but as you grow and mature, you're going to listen to more Jazz.. Guaranteed !

[lovebaby458]

@Skyjuice70 was i talkin 2 u ? kno ! so stfu yah nd jb has toured alot he sold out the garden in 22 minutes ! some ppl cnt even sell it out in a fuckin month or 2 so shove it us ur ass uhh no he helps write his songs mostly who cares anyways u rlly think every star write there own full songs ! noo im not gonna be listenin to more jazz i dnt like it wats so ever

[WhatsAYak]

@lovebaby458 - In case you weren't aware, the Grammies are awarded based on talent, not on how many concerts an artist plays or having a movie that's all the rage among middle school-age girls...and "she didn't even work hard enough"? She did it all on her own, which is more than I can say for your idol, who got a lucky break b/c a well-known artist saw a video of him performing on YT when he was a kid.

[lovebaby458]

@WhatsAYak yah it is based on talent & uhh yah i kinda is based on movies and concerts cuz thts adds up to how much they have worked for it !! yah he was noticed cuz he had amazing talent ! wats wrong wht tht ?? i still dnt think shes works hard enough or harder then jb !

[WhatsAYak]

@lovebaby458 - You're confusing "talent" w/"mass appeal"...the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences (the organization which issues the award) doesn't care about movies, how fast an artist's concert sells out, being in heavy rotation on the radio and/or MTV, or any of that crap...they care about actual talent. But cheer up, I'm sure your idol will avenge his loss @ the Nick Kids' Choice Awards in a few months, seeing how they're based on mass appeal.

[lovebaby458]

@WhatsAYak acually yeah movies and concerts count cuz tht would all add upto how hard they work !! yahh yah maby he will win kca an hes won awards from like the music awars so u kno wht hes WAYYY betta then esperenza so i dnt care wht u have 2 say about it good bye asshole

[m0nNickneim]

@lovebaby458 Well, the fact that he did so many concerts and movies is because he needed them for publicity. He did worked hard doing them, but it was all marketing strategy. Esperanza didn't and she won, which tells you something about her MUSICALLY speaking. Also, I'm 100% that people from the mainstream industry (such as Usher, Timbaland, others) recognize her talent and her musical sensibility.

[SunburstFender18]

@lovebaby458 and so did Marilyn Mason? LOL!

[lovebaby458]

@SunburstFender18 u mean lady gaga i think she really marilyn mason as a weird girl

[bobdylan4evr]

@lovebaby458 and george bush won both the 2000 and 2004 elections. just because its popular doesnt mean its good

[lovebaby458]

@bobdylan4evr ok rlly kno presidents r known b4 they actually run for it then they get 2 kno ppl nd i fuckin hate george bush he ruined the U.S even more!! thts like the worst example u could eva use I NEVER SAID BEIN POPULAR WOULD HELP U FUCKIN WIN SO STFU!!! i said obviously she dnt work hard enough jb does he works his ass off !! do u kno any1 who has sold out a concert at a HUGE stadium in 22 MINUTES ??? i dnt think so !!

[bobdylan4evr]

@lovebaby458 ummmmmmmmm..........you said nobody knows esperanza so she didnt deserve to win so i said what ammounts to basically the grammys arent a popularity concert. bieber didnt win because his music sucks ass

[cloudz1993]

im not angry that she won over anyone. i just dont know who the hell she is!

[NickyNick227]

Grammy's aren't about popularity. Lady Gaga would've won everything than. Get over it.

[styrossss11]

JB all the way and I'm not 14 or a girl or gay. He just deserved it after all his hard work. Being world's biggest superstar isnt easy I think.

[NickyNick227]

@styrossss11 LOL worlds biggest music star.

He can make a good song, but really?

[BhillsROX36922]

still dont kno why no one hs heard of her :S

[NickyNick227]

@BhillsROX36922 She's a Jazz singer. Us younger people aren't really into Jazz. Its a more adult genre?

[PeterJohnTv]

Esperanza winning the Grammy is the committee's way of saying we are tires of watered down generic artist and music. Change is coming and everyone needs to realize that. I think that fans need to understand the how the artist are being judged. It's not just on popularity. Wake up and embrace the change thats coming.

[NewlyCelebrities]

@PeterJohnTv what change are you talking about?

Because ann arist is very talanted and wins best new artist it doenst mean music all of a sudden is going to change

The Grammys have always been like this. Popularity is never the only factor they consider. Every year pratically unknown aritsts win at the grammys but it hasent meant anything ever

So i ask again. what change are you refering to?

[PeterJohnTv]

@NewlyCelebrities I guess you didn't read my comment well to understand because if you didn't you wouldn't reply to my comment as such. Well just incase you didn't infer what change I was referring to... It was the way that the masses views songs and popularity over artistry. There is a movement to change things back to real artistry and less gimmicks and the Grammy committee is making it known where they stand.

[NewlyCelebrities]

@PeterJohnTv well there is no such thing as "real artistry" because art is in the eye of the beholder. what some ppl consider true art others dont

so u cant say that its chaning to real artistry. music is a form of art. whether ppl think it was better before now or in the future is their opinion, but art is art regardless of what u think is better

[bobfrombarstow]

It's nice to see young musicians keeping this music alive!

[Nikkolsson]

wtf are yall talking about bieber, DRAKE WAS THE ONE WHO SHOULD'VE WON

[neneads]

really talented...she deserves the award.

[Swifted17]

Esperanza Spalding has been trending on Twitter for over 24 hours now. lol

Cool that winning a Grammy has opened her to such a wide audience.

She's in the top ten albums on iTunes, so the buzz seems to be generating sales.

:)

[cathedral94]

Those who say Justin "dickhead" Beiber should have won are mainly teeny boper girls who haven't even had the their periods yet and don't know sh*t about music.

I'm so glad the grammies aren't like the AMA's whos winners are mainly voted through popularity. At least the grammies have credibility.

[annaciaraally]

guys all u ppl tht are like "BIEBER SHUDVE WON! WHO IS Esperanza !?" Well guys calm down. the people who chose the grammy winners are teenage girls and usher isnt one of the judges either. so i dont think they will b looking for the teen pop sensation! they chose ppl who are actually NEW and are actually rreallllllyy good at being different and coming out ebing exactly who they are. Esperanza is talented guys. if ya wanna se biebs win somethign. the kids choice awards are coming up soon

[Comedicmusical1327]

@annaciaraally bieber shouldn't have one best new artist, that makes sense but overall it was a tough category with mumford & sons, florence and the machine and drake. Props to esperanza but i would have liked to see one of those three artists win it, not her.

[Spongeking5]

@annaciaraally Lol

[edwardandbellaroks]

i still think justin bieber shoulda won but i'll check out esperanza's stuff too.

[NewlyCelebrities]

@edwardandbellaroks well why do you think he should of won? Grammys isnt a popularity contest like mtv awards

theres a lot of factors that the judges consider when they vote that we dont even know about. So we shouldnt say one should have won if we dont even know how it works

[edwardandbellaroks]

@NewlyCelebrities because he's more well-known. i thought Florence and the Machine would win or Justin, but you're right it's not up to me to decide who wins or not. oh well...next year, justin!!

[NewlyCelebrities]

@edwardandbellaroks lol thats exactly my point. people think cause hes more well known hed win

but thats not how the Grammys work. The judges are suppostu ignore how famous a person is. instead they are suppostu look at things like voice, writting skills different talant etc etc etc the list goes on and on

Bieber no doubt they considered one of the best (thats why he was nominated). but not looking at popularity i guess over all the judges didnt feel he was the one who deserved it.

[edwardandbellaroks]

@NewlyCelebrities yeah, i see your point. I didn't go up on her wiki and trash it unlike some little brats out there. who does that?

but anyway, hopefully, NEXT YEAR JUSTIN!!! WE CAN DO IT!!

[NewlyCelebrities]

@edwardandbellaroks yup XD

but he cant be nominated for best new artist again. im assuming u mean a grammy right?

[edwardandbellaroks]

@NewlyCelebrities yeah!

[NickyNick227]

@edwardandbellaroks I thought they would win too because Florence was in that thing in the beginning.

[edwardandbellaroks]

@NickyNick227 what do you mean, "in the beginning"? I'm confused...
