Just found out she sang that Lion King "We are one" wow!

NwaAmaikpe:




A well deserved win to Kidjo.
The content of her songs are out of this world. She is a mix of Maya Angelou and Miriam Makeba.

Music lovers and genuine content critics like myself would have given up on the credibility and essence of the Grammy Awards if another undeserving artiste had won this.

Sentiments aside, Nigeria is yet to replicate another Fela Kuti in the global music sphere.
Fela is the only Nigerian deserving of a Grammy.

[b]Because music is not about dancesteps or groupie trends but about a movement, a message, reawakening a consciousness and yet the melody.
This is a reality lost on today's Nigerian artistes aside from Asa who lacks in consistency.

Till your music can be accepted by Pastors, Imams, Youths, elders, global leaders, United Nations and illiterates, then you stand a chance of being an African Album [/b]or winning a foreign award in Music.

Nigeria and Nigerians must understand that club bangers do not translate to foreign awards in global music.

Sanchez01:

This is wrong. Beyoncé, Eminem, MJ's 'Thriller', Taylor Swift's '1989', and even Jay Z have all won the Grammy Album of the year award.

Most of the songs on their albums are club bangers, and widely accepted by younger generations. I can't imagine any of Jay Z's, and Eminem songs that will will be accepted by religious leaders.

Most educated folks don't even understand Eminem's raps because he is always dissing the world and lacing his materials with double and triple entendres.

The category is much more beyond acceptability and the class or category of people your album resonate with. Kidjo will still return and win another next year as always.

Monkeyprick:



I don't agree totally with you Captain, put away sentiment, Burna Boy should have won that category and for Kidjo to acknowledge that meant he was so deserving as well . He had more recognition in the whole of Africa this past year than any other musician .
What about 2face Idibia? He was Africa's best at a time, his globally acclaimed African Queen was even sampled in a Hollywood movie.
If you say music is not about groupie trends , then the likes of Lady Gaga shouldn't have walk through that stage in admiration.

johnmattew:
kidjo remains Lionel Messi of African music..her biggest fans are white people.she remains the biggest African artiste in the world...her creativity,voice is second to none

Meenabee:
Well said, I thought I was the only one who knew this fact that Nigerian music is still asleep. Lol all we have these days are beats with no lyrics or message.

LOMBARDY:
When Nigerians see Angelique Kidjo on the road

colestephan86:

I knew from the start that burna was really going to struggle with this woman on the list.so far I think the only musician that can match up with this woman is 2 Baba.

Gepheral:
He did us proud regardless! She dedicating the award to him speaks volume

Incandescent:


May inferiority complex not kill you people. So because her fans are white she is the best

All I know is Burma Boy is my winner!

Afrocandym:



Fela here Fela there

What did Fela sing that we don't know?

I have never heard Fela song before,

All I know about Fela is... He's a weed smoker

Sewgon79:


She is also Nigerian thru maternal. Her father is from Benin and mother from Ibadan. She said it in one of her interviews.
