I'm not hating or anything, woman clearly got talent, but I'm rather curious how come was she even nominated for best new artist when her debut album was released back in 2006, and to my knowing, her last album, "Chamber Music Society" didn't really established her "public identity" since no one even knew about her. I haven't even seen any reviews or positive critics or some kind of hype for her on the internet before the grammys so it was really a surprise that she got an award.

mymajesticpage.blogspot.com/2011/02/ode-to-ms-lauryn-hill-tell-him.htmlI wrote about my encounter with that performance in the link above. I saw her perform in multiple places like the BET Awards, White House, and multiple jazzfests. I don't think that she needed to be a superstar to win the awards. I think this was actually based on artistic merit and also...some people not wanting Justin Bieber to win. Haha. I like her work. It's really dense and requires me to meditate and concentrate.

The Grammy Awards have always been unpredictable. Over the years the nominations, well to me anyway have mostly been awarded to the American artists. All i can say is that The Grammy's was the platform for an artist to become recognised all over the world, but today it's just another award show.  |

I agree with you....I just haven't notice that she has won the "new artist grammy" while her first album is from 2006.... Anyway, I prefer her music than the bieber's sh** ! |
