She's a singer/songwriter.  Has a very beautiful voice, she deserved to win every award she won tonight, she's talented.

Honestly... she isn't that talented, she DOESN'T WRITE HER SONGS... that one dude with the curly hair does... she plays the piano and sings... and she has one hit song... does that make her grammy nominated super heroin? If anyone deserved album of the year, it was Bruce Springstein... his album was awesome... and Nelly didn't even deserve to be nominated... except the grammy's had to include a black guy... I dont know... it was norah norah norah... and I've only heard one song... if her album was soooo good, I would expect more than one song....

Album Of The Year
(Award to the Artist(s) and to the Album Producer(s), Recording Engineer(s)/Mixer(s) & Mastering Engineer(s), if other than the artist.)


The album of the Year award has nothing to do with songwriting according the grammy's.  the song of the year goes to the songwriters

still, if the album is sooooo good, how come "i dont know why" is the only song that truly blew up

the album is so good for the same reason steely dan won album of the year in 2001.  i dont remember hearing a single song from that album and the grammy voters decided it was the best album that year.  they are the so called experts and we have to live with their decisions.  i dont know why that is the only song that blew up.

Norah Jones is nice, her album got props from practically everyone in the music press, I haven't read one bad review. She's Ravi Shankar's daughter btw, but I'm sure only Trauma will know who that is lol. But yea her album sold a whole bunch of copies and she's very popular on jazz stations etc. she's just not on MTV 24/7

Okay I think some of you should go out and pick up this album before you judge norah and this album before commenting on it.Being a music fan first n formost she defintely deserved album of the year award for the song writing and production on the album,the Grammys is a music award show not a Hip Hop award show or the source awards ,its judges things on musical talent, integrity,originality and the final product along with alot of other things ,this isnt the MTV awards or the American music awards where things are based on the most popular artists or people who sell the most records.The experts are the experts for a reason and nobody is perfect judges make mistakes as well but Ill say they were on point with this call.

...over here we call it "slit yer wrists music"  

lol - you think? That's how I class stuff like Portishead, but Norah Jones' album isn't depressing music at all. I can't believe so many people dislike it here - I understand a lot of people here dislike listening to anything other than hip-hop, but most open-minded people must see that this is one of the best albums of last year?

It's perfect romance music - there was that hysterical thread last month where people argued that Snoop's Beautiful was the year's Valentine's anthem. Anyone who would rather play Snoop to their boo than Norah Jones is fucking crazy if you ask me (and probably didn't get any on Valentines... ;D)

I don't wanna offend anybody, but most of yall are pretty shallow in your musical tastes.  When you get older you'll probably expand out a little more.  Rap & Hiphop is great, and I love it, but anybody that expects hiphop to win awards over slow jazzy love songs is out of their mind.  Yall think she isn't talented, but honestly you wouldn't know talent if it bit you on the ass.  She's the daughter of Ravi Shankar, one of the greatest eastern musicans to ever live... but yall wouldn't know about that because it ain't in 4/4.  She was singing choir at 5; majored in jazz piano, and she DOES write her own songs, just not that one... she's intelligent enough to let other songwriters contribute.  

What album was better?  Out of the ones nominated, nobody was even close.  Bruce Springsteen? Please... that's the most tired crap out.  Yall have only heard 1 song because there's only been 1 single.  The whole album pretty much was great, but if you don't like slow stuff (mind blowing that you wouldn't) then you wouldn't like any of it.  Plus, she's only 22.  Peace~
