PRINCE HAS ONLY 4 GRAMMYS? WHAT THE F**K

AM I THE ONLY PERSON WHO IS AMAZED THAT PRINCE AS ONLY WON 4 GRAMMYS IN HIS ENTIRE CAREER?
...when you see norah jones(who is good and talented but a bit of a one trick pony) win 8 grammys in one year, what the hell are these people on, cant they hear great music or what. christ even the all time classic album "sign o the times" won zitch awards. amazing. at least the uk record industry have given him the best overseas artist a record 7 times which is only right. come on america!

He probably should at the least have 607, but even that would be innaccurate for how many he deserves.

It's 'cause everyone else except us fans thinks he's an overrated little tosser who went up his own arse in'93, and never got out again, or so i'm told!

Prince said he didn't care for awards anyway on DMSR.I don't think it bothers him really.

There's no real competition these days, it's far too easy to be nominated & win assloads. Popularity = praise...
heart prince I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it prince heart

It's ok, folks. The Grammys are not made for someone like Prince. I can guarantee most of the people here wouldn't be fans anymore if Prince was a Grammy King.
This post not for the wimp contingent. All whiny wusses avert your eyes.

If Grammy's were given based on talent, creativity, and artistic originality...I'd be outraged and protesting...but since they are given soley based on how many units are sold...it doesn't bother me...because I already know the masses aren't enlightened enough to buy a unit if they don't hear it in heavy rotation. Oh well, that's their loss.

I think that all these grammys for a first album might kill Norah's career, what will she do next?

Norah Jones was a safe, boring bored choice for Grammy voters. She's playing lounge music.

Alicia Keys is another one who shouldn't have been given as many Grammy awards as she got for one album.

There's such a lack of talent these days that a girl playing a piano is hailed as the greatest even though her music and singing is just okay.

Prince has stepped on way too many toes in the industry to get any more major awards. He's not going to get anything more until he signs a contract at a major label. Notice how a few years ago the Soul Train Awards had to back down from giving Prince the "Artist of the Decade" award. They had to backtrack and make Prince share the award with Whitney Houston.

I think it's a given that the music industry is run by a bunch of self-congratulatory, insecure clones. A Medussa with a mirror. lol

Greatness is not measured with awards. How many Grammy's did The Beatles or Jimi Hendrix win?

I rest my case!

Wonder if this applies? lol

Don't Play Me
by Prince

Don't play me
I'm over 30 & I don't smoke weed
I put my ass away & music I've played
aint the type of stereo U're tryin to feed
Don't play me
Don't play me
I use proper English & I'm straight
I'm in the news again for paying dues my friend
And not the type of ganda U prop in my way
Don't play me

Don't play me
I've been to the mountain top & it aint what U say
Don't play me

Don't play me
I'm the wrong color & I play guitar
My only competition is well in the past
Time & time if time existed movin ever so fast
Don't play me

U couldn't play enough of me now
2 make me feel like a star
Don't play me I already do in my car
Don't play me

Don't be mad at me
The curtain puller in the game
Maybe how U call us Niggers aint the same
It's all good when u know the only fame
Is the light that comes from God & the joy U get to say his name
Don't play me

Don't play me
I've seen to the mountain top & it aint what U say
Don't play me

Already got laid

Couldn't agree more. I miss the eighties, there was so much more innovation and variety and competition than today.

There's only 2 ways to have really huge sales and lots of awards. Have a huge promotion push with the album including world tours, interviews, and loads of videos, or put out a half-decent innofensive middle-of-the-road album in a year with only really poor albums as competition.
