Guest hardyz1 Report post Posted February 24, 2003 2003 Grammy winners Norah Jones won everything she was up for. I can't say I'm really blown away by her stuff. Seemed like they just went with a safe choice (ie Alicia Keys). Foo Fighters win Hard Rock Performance. And something you guys will love...Korn wins Best Metal Performance. Oh, and Avril Lavigne got totally shut out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted February 24, 2003 And a non-metal band wins the grammy for best heavy metal performance...yeah, that's about par the course for the grammys. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted February 24, 2003 Kylie lost her one category, but if she didn't get it, I said Dirty Vegas should have. I still think they nominated the less-known song of hers so she wouldn't win. Oh, and Justin Timberlake needs to die. That is all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zetterberg is God 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2003 The Grammy's are a complete joke. Of all the metal songs to come out last year, "Here to Stay" was the best? And Avril gets nominated for best song of the year? What the hell. It's just about how many albums you sell and not talent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted February 24, 2003 No, I hadn't heard of her once before last night either. I think this was their attempt to appear as if they aren't just a popularity contest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted February 24, 2003 Norah Jones is alright...I don't think she's the big deal everyone wants her to be though. She doesn't even write her own stuff.

Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted February 24, 2003 The Grammys have basically become the new billboard music awards which award popularity. Norah Jones isn't bad, but is she THAT different from Michelle Branch or those other 3 that basically make the SAME F'N MUSIC. Seems like the new trend is to give an award to the girls who can play the piano. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted February 24, 2003 ::grammy bashing:: So I hear Durst pulled a Bush. Agreeance? What do you mean? Agreeance is a perfectly cromulent word. And though I haven't heard her album and am really not all that curious, I must admit that I'm slightly fond of Norah Jones' big single, "Don't Know Why." It's pretty good. And at least they didn't give Album of the Year to a legendary performer years past his prime, i.e. Dylan, Santana, Steely Dan, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Madmartigan21 Report post Posted February 24, 2003 In honesty...bad bad grammy's especially when THE BOSS GETS SHUT OUT!!!! Ummm.... what? Best Male Rock Vocal Performance (For a solo vocal performance. Singles or Tracks only.) * The Rising Bruce Springsteen Track from: The Rising [Columbia Records] Best Rock Song (A Songwriter(s) Award. Includes Rock, Hard Rock & Metal songs. For Song Eligibility Guidelines see Category #3. (Artist names appear in parenthesis.) Singles or Tracks only.) * The Rising Bruce Springsteen, songwriter (Bruce Springsteen) Track from: The Rising [Columbia Records; Publisher: Bruce Springsteen] Category 21 Best Rock Album (Vocal or Instrumental. Includes Hard Rock and Metal.) * The Rising Bruce Springsteen [Columbia Records] Norah Jones is alright...I don't think she's the big deal everyone wants her to be though. She doesn't even write her own stuff. She has writing-credits on four of the songs on her albumn. And even if she didn't, SO THE HELL WHAT. She's a good singer with a unique voice. And just as importantly she's a good INTERPRETER of songs. That's highly underated aspect of singing. I don't understand what the big deal is about artists writing or notwriting their own songs. Really, WHO GIVES A SHIT? Are people of that opinion telling me, that if they hear a song on the radio and like it, but later find out the singer didn't write, you're going to change you feeling about that song. (How's THAT for a run-on sentence.) Not everyone does everything equally well. Some are good songwriters, but not singers or instrumentalists and vice-versa. But as a music fan don't you want to hear the best possible final product? If it that comes from a collaboration, rather than an indivudual effort, what difference does it make? Look at the history of popular music, and there are artists that are BELOVED, that never wrote a thing. Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, most of Motown, do these names ring a bell? Think about this for a moment. You knew someone that worked on the design of the space shuttle. Afterwards you found out they worked on the computer system. Would you then say that they were crap because they didn't work on the propulsion and life-support systems, amongst others? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted February 25, 2003 Well, personally, I say that if they don't write their own music, they're not artists. They're musicans. I mean, I can play stuff if someone writes all the notes down and tosses it in front of me - it doesn't make me an artist. I mean, if Picasso could only paint-by-numbers, would he be considered a great artist? I think that if you're going to be called an artist, you should at least be CREATING something, otherwise, you're not really an artist. It also bugs me that the bands I like have to struggle to get noticed, and put actual energy into creating music, while others LITERALLY have it handed to them, but that's another story.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted February 25, 2003 I respectfully disagree with the "songwriting=artist" theory. There's such a thing as performance art. It may not be a very apt comparison, but would you consider,say, Marlon Brando any less talented just because he didn't write his own dialogue? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted February 25, 2003 Oooh, good point Kinetic. No, I am serious on that. However, I think that a distinction SHOULD be drawn in music, where you have both people who do or don't write their own stuff (How many actors do, really?). I'm not trying to say that it takes no talent to perform a song, but I do feel that people who do write their own stuff, then play it, deserve a bit more credit then those who wait for someone else to tell them exactly what to do.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted February 25, 2003 I definitely agree with you to a certain extent. When someone writes their own songs, they have a lot more invested in it and the performances often reflect that. But I don't think that talented performers who don't happen to be particularly talented songwriters should be disregarded. As a few other people noted, a lot of popular music is made up of performers interpreting the works of songwriters; the two things were by and large seperate vocations in popular song until about the mid 1960s. But I definitely see where you're coming from. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
