Hilary Hahn Wins Grammy and Gives Speech

Hilary Hahn wins a Grammy for her Sibelius and Schoenberg Violin Concerto Album on Feb. 8, 2009. She was nominated for two categories-Best Classical Album and Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra, and ended up winning the Best Instrumental Soloist Performance with Orchestra, which will be her second Grammy. Here she accepts the award and gives a speech.

I apologize in advance for the poor audio and video quality and plan to upload another from the direct source.

And what have YOU accomplished in your pathetic little life? You can't even use the proper verb tense. Go back to 3rd grade. And go to church and clean up your life. Loser...

@lancefan12345 Maybe if you looked at her actual performance videos, you'd see what she has accomplished. I'd like to see you try and perform like her.

I CRACKED UP AT THE EMPTY CROWD SHOT AT THE END - ARE YOU SURE THAT WAS THE GRAMMY AWARDS, IT LOOKS LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL AUDITORIUM.

SHE TRIES SO HARD TO BE SWEET AND NICE, BUT IT'S HARD TO COVER UP THAT MUCH ARROGANCE WHEN YOU'RE THE SECOND BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD (NEXT TO LEILA).

[GrSfan]

when was she born??

@lancefan12345 asking questions about own achievements and pointing out bad grammar is just fine I think, but telling someone to go to church and calling someone loser at the same time is like commenting haters when hating is what you do.

[xephyr417]

she's so tiny in person...

[JingchengZhao]

"I got a grammy before..."

Grammy doesn't really mean shit.

[Shaghayegh11]

she's not excited at all!! hahahaha!

[floydrharper]

Gracious

That band music before her speech was HORRIBLE AND INAPPROPRIATE. And notice no one's in the audience because the classical awards are all given out in a pre-event because classical music is no longer allowed on the main telecast. They've crowded it out completely with total trash. So why would they even have that band playing? Or did someone add that as a sound effect.

1:04 there is definitely not enough people in the audience
