Shelby Lynne?? I had to look her up.
Yeah, she's doing great. Her last album peaked at #165. Wow. She's really taking the world by storm.
the new norah comes out tomorrow just in time for valentines day giving… it will be interesting to see what it does sales wise.
the best new artist grammy has a reputation of being a career killer, men at work anyone? but there are cases where it doesn't completely kill 'em off i.e. sade

Still big enough to be playing a $25 show at the 9:30 club within the last six months.
Just because someone doesn't have huge mainstream success OR you cloistered little indie world doesn't mean that they don't have a solid, loyal fanbase or much critical acclaim.
I'll bet you'd have to look up half of the bands that sell out the 9:30 Club.

Best New Artist? It could be a curse
Damien McCaffery got it right in the current issue of Vibe.
In a piece titled "The Grammy Whammy," the associate editor went back in time and dissected the list of "best new artist" Grammy winners to determine whether the award was a blessing or a curse for the recipient.
Here's how McCaffery rated 10 former winners:
1990: Mariah Carey beat the Black Crowes, Kentucky Headhunters, Lisa Stanfield and Wilson Phillips. McCaffery's verdict: Blessing. "Carey's next nine records went platinum," he wrote.
1991: Memphis-based singer John Cohn beat Boyz II Men, C+C Music Factory, Color Me Badd and Seal. The verdict: Curse. "Cohn came from nowhere, grabbed the BNA and rapidly returned to nowhere."
1992: Hip-hop group Arrested Development beat Billy Ray Cyrus, Sophie B. Hawkins, Kris Kross and Jon Secada. The verdict: Curse. Their debut, "â??'3 years, 5 Months, and 2 Days in the Life of â??.â??.â??.' predicted the duration of our tolerance," McCaffery wrote.
1993: R&B singer Toni Braxton beat Belly, Blind Melon, Digable Planets and SWV. The verdict: Blessing. "After her self-titled debut, Braxton kept scoring with progressively sexier, cattier songs."
1994: Sheryl Crow beat Ace of Base, Counting Crows, Crash Test Dummies and Green Day. The verdict: Blessing. "Her follow-up (albums) sold well."
1995: S.C. pop-rock band Hootie and the Blowfish beat Brandy, Alanis Morissette, Joan Osborne and Shania Twain. The verdict: Curse. "After their 14-times platinum debut, 'Cracked Rear View,' album sales in '96, '98 and 2000 proved we were hootied out."
1996: Country singer Leann Rimes beat Garbage, Jewel, No Doubt, and the Tony Rich Project. The verdict: Blessing. "Rimes hit it big at 14 with 'Blue.' Two follow-ups also went multiplatinum."
1997: Pop singer Paula Cole beat Fiona Apple, Erykah Badu, Hanson and Puff Daddy. The verdict: Curse. "The swift demise of her 1999 CD answered the question 'Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?' By then, we were gettin' freaky with Barenaked Ladies."
1998: Lauryn Hill beat Backstreet Boys, Andrea Bocelli, Dixie Chicks and Natalie Imbruglia. The verdict: Blessing and Curse. "Hill's solo debut was a critical and commercial hit, but the stress of representing for all conscious sisters who look hot got to her."
1999: Pop diva Christina Aguilera beat Macy Gray, Kid Rock, Britney Spears and Susan Tedeschi. The verdict: Blessing. "Shockingly, judges chose the 'Teen Sexpot Who Could Actually Sing.'â??"

The point was that the New Artist Award has the reputation of auguring a downfall from mainstream success.
Dumbass.

You are a sizist prick, and you need to apologize immediately. On this board, we don't make fun of people based on skin color, sex, or body size.

Ha ha ha. Proof that no matter how dim the bulb, most of the time they eventually turn on.

In other words, it's more ok to mock people you know than people you don't know. Brilliant.
