    Incredibly talented girl. I'm so glad that she won best new artist, because she may not have had the most records or sales, but the quality of her music is better than anything on the radio.
    Honestly though, I only heard of her because of everyone freaking out over her winning. I'm so glad it happened. My laundry playlist has never been so relaxing

    I think its ridiculous that ppl hated that she won this award. this is the first time in so long that a real musician who makes real music wins this award. New generation ppl dont understand that and only want to listen to horrible shit they hear on the radio and thinks thats music. I am not proud that I am in this generation but at least I have a lot of music sense

    Real musicians like Esperanza earn their awards. I am really proud of her and the Grammy committee for making this decision. Fame, simply, does not transcend hard work and talent.

    I had never heard of this woman until yesterday. When they announced her as a the Best New Artist, my thoughts were:
    1. "Who the hell...?"
    2. "She's cute. I love her hair"
    3. "Wow! She's very classy"
    4." I should go to youtube and check her out."
    Well, here I am. I've watched a couple of her videos, and now I'm a new fan. Last night's show wasn't a TOTAL waste of time after all.

    i'm going to echo what many have probably said, in one way or another, that as her namesake translates here, discovering this woman and her supernatural talent gives me hope in this world. for serious.... how much of a consummate musiciene she is, coupled by her brilliance and articulateness fills me with light & inspiration. she seems to be self-actualized and shows us how amazing each of us can be. i'm thankful that she is a phoenix from a flame.... i bet she's really kind & personable:^)

    wow, she's amazing and as u can see, she is constantly experimenting with her art...this is an artist who will be around, playing or writing. teaching or producing! WINNER IS SWEET & coming from the jazz genre...even sweeter to take the golden award. I was in love after the white house performance & copenhagen. I dont know who mumford or florence are so, i will have to research.

    BRAVA ESPERANZA SPALDING! I'm glad that the Grammys did something right this year. FINALLY, someone who has raw, pure talent. Someone who sings beautifully NATURALLY, and knows how to really play the beautiful double bass (it's not everyday where you see a woman who plays the double bass). For those who say she doesn't deserve to win the Grammys.... please stop & think: natural singing voice + playing double bass v.s. computerized, auto-tuned flashy voice/noise? REALLY. Esperanza - HUMBLE.

  • @musicis101
    @musicis101 13 лет назад

    I hope all of you see that Esperanza Spalding is amazing, but she is not the only one. I encourage all of you to PLEASE open yourself up to the jazz world. As you can see from Esperanza's example, most people who are exposed to the GOOD jazz (NOT Kenny G!) DO like it. and while I acknowledge the fact that jazz isn't considered "mainstream music" (which I don't think it ever will be), I believe that in this decade it does not get nearly as much recognition as it should get. Congrats Esperanza!

    @RaynaKapek - It's okay. No worries RaynaKapek. Thank you for your response. I agree with you that anybody can state when they're wrong. It takes an awesome person to have integrity on youtube. I'm glad that you were able to further study the matter. It's always a blessing when we as people can expand our musical horizons & learn of some nice musical artists out there. Take care. Peace.

    the ability to sing pitch perfect in 3 different languages (english, spanish, portuguese) while playing the bass..oh yes, that deserves a grammy. BIG TIME. not to mention, looking really good too. This young lady is full of soul.
