Norah winning over Avril just confirms that the Grammys are a popularity contest since her debut album was more successful than Let Go.

Grammy are quite like Oscars; sometimes the awards go to movies that years later no one will remember.

Despacito is not really a good song but it's one of the biggest songs of all time and it's still charting in most countries. That song will last forever. OT: I want her team to update her official page so badly. Web pages are not popular as they used to but you would expect them to be updated at least. They will update it when the new era will start. Not with news (maybe in the beginning) but with new design LOL

Which has nothing to do with the grammy we are talking about. Nice try G-eye, but that doesn't make any sense.
Here are some things you can look up......
"Come Away with Me received acclaim from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has an average score of 82 out of 100, which indicates "universal acclaim" based on 9 reviews.
Let Go has earned mostly positive responses from critics, earning 68 points on Metacritic"..........wiki
And Let Go outsold Come Away with me. So where is the βpopularity contest?β

I think at the very least Avril deserved Best New Artist. Norah may be more of an βartistβ than Avril and while I have never listened to her album, it could objectively be better than LG (I think LG is amazing so I doubt Iβd like Norahβs better). But come on. Avril should have been Best New Artist. She was a huge culture phenomenon that was something new that many artists after her tried to copy. Norah didnβt have that kind of impact. And itβs proven years later when Avril had 2 more very successful follow up albums and she is still making music. Norah may still be kicking around, but sheβs not known at the level that Avril is.
Out of 8 nominations, Avril deserved at least one of those awards. Especially Best New Artist.

Oh I agree Bogo, she deserved some kind of win. Loves me my Avril! She changed music history, no doubt. Norah was more of a deep purveyor of established genres. But you really ought to give Come Away a spin.....I think you would love it.

Agree with you, Bogo. I always thought why they didnβt give Best New Artitst to Avril. She was everywhere at that time as some kind of phenomenon. Like it was obvious who was

I agree with you 100% Avril revolutionized the music scene of the time and obviously had a HUGE impact on young people culturally (she was a sort of Justin Bieber or 1D of 2000's, in terms of popularity and impact imo) so yes, she should have deserved at least that award.

I guess you missed the post above where it shows Let Go being more popular than Come Away?
