mikelz777 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 What I want to know is how can an artist who first released an album in 2006 and who released their 3rd album 4 years later can win best NEW artist? omg, they just said BLUE NOTE RECORDS on the grammys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i think they were talking about an awarn won by bruce lundvall...BUT THEY SAID IT! Wow! My world is now totally changed. It will never be the same. They uttered the name of a record label on TV. Now life is worth living. Quote
J.A.W. Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Spalding (no "u"). Thread title corrected. Quote
AllenLowe Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) actually I was talking about the baseball company. Apparently they won a grammy for Take Me Out To the Ball Game. Edited February 14, 2011 by AllenLowe Quote
Larry Kart Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Spalding in my experience (and I have heard her "live") is not-unpleasant and does have talent, but she strikes me as a lightweight at best. The media response to her music and her image, and this vote in particular, seem to me to be a latter-day form of Wynton-itis. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Well, it's good news, how can it be bad? She's lovely and she can play. I bet she's happy. I need to get the new one from Joe. Quote

The media response to her music and her image, and this vote in particular, seem to me to be a latter-day form of Wynton-itis. You're right. She's no Ga-Ga or Bieber... Quote
Matthew Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) I kind of feel sorry for Justin Bieber, rarely has the music industry's cynicism and money grubbing been on such naked display as with this "artist." Once they're done making money off the tweeners who swoon over him, he'll be dumpster diving by the time he hits twenty-one. Edited February 14, 2011 by Matthew Quote
Dave James Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 I agree, from a jazz perspective, she's pretty insubstantial. I think there's a little of what I call Sarah Palin syndrome afoot here in that her physical attractiveness makes up for her shortcomings in other areas. I've said all along that if Palin looked like Janet Reno, she would have had trouble getting elected dog catcher in Wasilla, much less mayor. And if Spalding looked like Moms Mabley, I'd like to introduce you to Justin Bieber, best new artist of 2010. Quote

Wait a minute, did you say that Sarah Palin is attractive? I was not aware. Quote
AllenLowe Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 personally I would have voted for 7/4. Quote

Wait a minute, did you say that Sarah Palin is attractive? I was not aware. For a 47-year old woman? Yes. We're not talking Meg Ryan circa When Harry Met Sally attractive, but I've seen worse...a whole lot worse. Quote
AllenLowe Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 I actually find her too goofy to be attractive - Quote
JSngry Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 Hell hath no fury like a Belieber scorned: http://marquee.blogs.cnn.com/2011/02/14/hell-hath-no-fury-like-a-belieber-scorned/?hpt=C1 Ms. Spaulding is ok with me, and entirely less prefab that the Bieberboy. Between this and Herbie winning album of the year last year(?) it seems like there might be an element within "the academy" that is rebelling against "the industry". If so, anybody got a problem with that? I don't. Quote
ejp626 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 I really did not enjoy Spalding's performance the last time I saw here. In fact, I found it excruiciating. But I'd still rather she get an award than Bieber. While the Biebster was thrust into this situation through no (or little) fault of his own, he is quickly becoming quite a twerp in his own right. (And his fans are even worse -- they've gone and vandalized Spalding's wiki page -- that'll show her!) I think my biggest question is how does one qualify to be a new artist? She's had three albums as leader, starting from 2006. I guess the industry finally got the promo copies in the mail... One of these days, the Onion should do a piece on James Taylor or an equivalent being nominated for best new artist. Quote
jlhoots Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 She's a very good bass player. Her singing, etc. I can do without. Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 She's a very good bass player. Her singing, etc. I can do without. the gramms just discovered ornette a year ago. i could care less what those groupies think... have they discovered prez yet???? Quote
Chuck Nessa Posted February 14, 2011 Report Posted February 14, 2011 She's a very good bass player. Her singing, etc. I can do without. She's no Slam Stewart. Look for her to lose the bass in the future. "What's her hand doing?" It's looking for a pocket. A star is being born. Quote
Teasing the Korean Posted February 15, 2011 Report Posted February 15, 2011 I'm completely out of touch. I haven't watched the Grammies probably since the late 1970s and have no idea who any of these people are. But I sleep well. Quote
