shit winning Best New Artist is like a kiss of death... so may winners of that award are never heard of again

For every Shelby Lynne, there's a Beatles, Mariah, Alicia, Sade, etc.

This is easily the best performance of the night. Congrats Mick. Legend.

SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!! They got that one right! Go 'head, Esperanza!!

Sure did!

Gotta seriously disagree with you here. I'm sure she's an exceptionally talented jazz musician, but outside of jazz circles this pick is going to rank right up there with Marc Cohn and just behind Rickey Lee Jones and Shelby Lynne as a WTF were they thinking moment. Granted, this year's list of nominees weren't especially strong, and B.o.B was a glaring omission. And apparently Bruno Mars missed out because his album was released just five days after the Grammy deadline.

Congrats Esperanza! Still strange that she was nominated considering she's released albums for a couple years. Proves good music can be recognized.

nah... they changed the rules years ago... it doesnt matter that if a artist released previous albums.. they go buy the year the artist found their audience (gained commercial success)

And all the Bieber fans started crying in thier chocolate milk, and sending Esperanza Spalding death threats!

Yes, the Bieber fans were tweeting on www.grammy.com/live all day, about can't wait to see Bieber. I can imagine what they're saying about Esperanza right now. Poor things, they have no idea what "real music" sounds like.

The Grammys aren't supposed to be a popularity contest. That's what the Billboard Awards are for.

Who cares if 2 million people or 2 people know her. The acknowledgement was based on her talent.

No, Esperanza deserved it. Apparently you must have missed the pre-show Grammys that was aired online between 4pm-6pm (EST), because Bruno Mars already won a grammy, for best pop male vocal. His was the last grammy announced at the pre-show today.

The Grammys aren't supposed to be a popularity contest. That's what the Billboard Awards are for.

Who cares if 2 million people or 2 people know her. The acknowledgement was based on her talent.

But on that statement alone, they should have nominated B.o.B. over either Justin Bieber or Drake.

Milli Vanilli won the award too

Barbra Streisand. WOW. What an ageless, timeless voice.

This heffa is just getting whiter and whiter and whiter. She & Britney could pass for sisters pretty soon.
