Last week we spotted the first window being punched out chez Norah Jones. This week, Lost City passes by and finds there are now three holes in the wall. The excitement builds.

    I know many have gone on to wonderful careers. But many on your list were winners well over 20 years ago. I think it is a more recent phenomenon. Maybe I should rephrase my thoughts…how many of them actually get airplay of their new work after the fizzle of the intial success?
    Sheena Easton and Tony Braxton…that’s a bit laughable.

  2. Was rooting for my boys in Dave Matthews Band to win Album of the Year. Bummed about Taylor Swift taking that.

    The DMB album was really good. I’d like to know what the big deal with Taylor Swift is.

  3. I don’t really agree totally lesbiman. At least as many “Best New Artist” winners have gone on to have incredible careers as those who have not.

    Some of the past “Best New Artist Winners” have been:

    Beatles
    Mariah Carey
    Alicia Keys
    Crosby Stills & Nash
    Carly Simon
    Bette Midler
    Natalie Cole
    Sade
    Cyndi Lauper
    Carrie Underwood
    The Carpenters
    Christina Aguilera
    Tracy Chapman
    LeAnn Rymes
    John Legend
    Maroon 5
    Tony Braxton
    Sheena Easton
    Tom Jones
    Marvin Hamlisch
    Bobby Darin

    That’s not too shabby, I don’t think!

    I always thought that winning the “Best New Artist” grammy was a guarantee for failure. I mean, can you recall out of the last 20 years those that have received the award and are still recording?
    They all seem to fail after that fateful third album..the first one we buy because we love it, the second one we buy because we loved the first, but if the third one isn’t good, no one buys the fourth. Real artists can continue to amaze us.
    What are your thoughts on this?
    btw, I am an absurdly dedicated Carly Simon fan. I’m dying to make the video for her contest, if I only knew a good film maker.
