I like your mentality

Nneka holds a German citizenship (the Jewish elites wouldn't find that particularly tasteful)
[/size]

but Hans Zimmer of the lion king and black knight is a full blooded German and has 4 Grammy's already. So Nneka is a good candidate.

Na you sabi. I don't believe in this Nigerians/non-Nigerians ish. Why? Because Asa, Nneka, and Femi Kuti have songs in pidgin? Gimme a break.

By the way isn't this the same Nairaland where members have conveyed time and time again that Nigerians won't win Grammy awards because our songs are in pidgin? Okay ohh.

the non Nigerians mentioned never associated themselves with Nigeria. They see themselves as Britons and Americans, who would blame them. Personally, I see nothing wrong with language, Angeli kidjo sings with French and Yoruba, Femi Kuti sings in pidgin and they both got nominations. What matters is originality, what we have most in Nigeria are yamaha keyboard musicians. They can't recognize a semi quaver when they see one.

tredkiller:

Dareh, because he is original and not a copy-cat. You can only win a grammy by being original . Take a closer look at others, they are all karaoke singers except Asa or the Kutis.

Dareh, is that a joke. lol. That guy is an American RnB wanna be musician. He is living in. dream world. After listening to the likes of donnel jones, what has dareh got to offer.

my 2 cent!

These are Nigerian musicians that can win the Grammy Award

2face Idibia
Psquare
Asa
M.I

For that Terry G guy he is not singing anything he just making noise and i dont see what people gain in his music.

Black Face!

Asa

Tuface Idibia & no-one else . . . maybe later.

Asa seems to be the closest
Femi Kuti & Lagbaja
they're original.

ASA. thank God she's doing more of English songs. maybeeee. Femi

Grammy award is not just a musical Award! there is something more attached to it.

Ask R-Kelly why he hasn't won it before

That doesn't make them non-Nigerians. Is Sade not using her Nigerian name as her stage name? All of Seal's children have Yoruba names. What else do you want? They have to sing "Eye Adaba" as well to be considered 100% Nigerians too? Lol, they sing in a genre they love. No shame there. If we don't claim them as Nigerians, then we have given them every right not to associate with their country. Chai. Might as well say Obama is not Kenyan.

God bless you for this post, both Seal and Shade have never hidden the fact that they are Nigerians if they are based in England and the USA  does not really matter just like when Dr. Alban was making waves in Europe, he never gave the impression that he is not a Naija guy, in fact most of these Naija guys and babes making waves in their different areas of endeavors abroad are even more patriotic and proud of their Nigerian backgrounds more than some Nairalanders who on a daily bases curse and unleash incantations for Nigeria to break up.

Exactly

Wot's d criteria 4 winning it? Then i can tip..

asa and paul play are grammy materials

Who say nigeria musician can't win grammy because they sing nonsence, some of this america musicians that won it too do sing nonsence song e.g lil wayne, drake, rihanna e.t.c all they sing bout is love, sex, fame, illuminati and party song. Let me tell u something until all the nigeria musicians join illuminati thats when nigeria musicians will win the grammys( illuminati award). Goldie died after ariving from the party award. We should be happy with what we have. God bless nigeria

DOUBLESTAR would with God and New Life Music (NLM)

Take it or leave it Nigerians are more talented than most gramy winners...the basic criteria for winnin the award is to join #illuminati

*ignoring the Nairaland rules*
Some of u av said vry wise stuffs, me saying my own point of view would be a repetition. you guys forgot to add Kennis Music's "Essence" shes a song bird too......song bird ko; song buffalo ni. nyc one guys
