Angelique has been trending since the 90s. She is as ageless as her music......she also has a Nigerian root. Just for the sake of those asking who Angelique is. She also popularized the folklure song 'ori Ori o, olajumoke no, olajumoke, olajumoke nlo'. [b][/b] 3 Likes 1 Share |

burna even featured her on his album, but i think burna will win it because its a new genre of music ( afrobeat) to be nominated in that category. 1 Like |

Without prejudice, Burna would win, but Nigerians must always factor in prejudices against them the more popular they become. I know Nigerians do not like this type of thinking since we dismiss such thoughts as carrying unnecessary complexes, but I’m trying to be brave in making these points. To put it simply and politely, French influence will always work against Nigerian interest when Nigerians compete against French West Africans for international/global positions likewise the English will back East Africans against Nigerians unless the Nigerian in questions is too unassailable. America may be fairer to Nigerians but blacks like Nigerians are subconsciously threatening to the world and even blacks are unconsciously susceptible to these biases since they invariable see the world, without realising, it through white eyes. In short, judgment may not be objective and may boil down to sentiments that resent Burnaboy for being too popular, winning here and there and threatening the music genre status quo. He is not a safe and patroniseable African like Angelique. 4 Likes |

Anazp: Ain't saying Burna will win. Am saying his album is a very strong contender. Again sampling someone else's song don't mean nothing. Puff daddy sampled some lines from Grand master flash ' the message' but ended up producing a better album. In Jay Z and Justin Timberlake song holy grail, some lines from the then rock band Nirvana's song, 'smells like teen spirit, ' was sampled but jayz ended up making a fantastic album. It's about Who u respect, not who u think is better than u. Don't forget Jay Z sampling nas song 'dead presidents' too. That was just respect bro. 6 Likes 2 Shares |

Grammy award is for musicians- people who are skilled composers, songwriters, and instrumentalists. Grammy is not for freestyle artistes; not for people that sample other people's work or artistes with incoherent lyrics like the Nigerian pop artistes except for a handful that Burna boy is not part of. Burna boy does good music to some extent though but Agelique Kidjo is a musician, Grammy is for musicians and that's why Grammy is called an academic award. I have been following the Grammies for years now, I will tell you that I was surprised to see burna boy on that list (no hating please, am just being academic and practical here). But incase Burna boy wins, then the standard for winning was reduced. Gaskia! 13 Likes |

All things been equal Angelique Kidjo should win this fair & square cos her musical content are quality. Burna obviously is better than Wizzy & Davido in that regard hence having his first nomination & NGRs would be wishing he wins it but sentiments can't win awards now can it? 5 Likes 1 Share

iamDrRhymes: Stop there. Again I say stop there! Mumford and sons who won album of the year years ago infact did a cover of Simon and Garfunkel's classic song 'the boxer' and the album was nominated for grammys. Jay-Z and Justin Timberlake holy grail was nominated and they sames lines from nirvana's smells like teen spirit. I can go on and on about artists sampling other people's songs or even doing covers and still being nominated. By the way am sure u heard about how drake doesn't write some of his songs but yet gets nominations every freaking year. Well, in the Hip Hop world it's a big deal but outside its nothing. Many people have written songs for great artists like Beyonce and Rihanna. That's why credits are given when due to the writer/composer. 4 Likes 1 Share |

beresponsible: Really? Angela Kidjo, you really do not know music. You think it's that trash sang by most of Nigerian musicians. She is a veteran anyway. I am sure she would prefer Burna Boy to win this time. She is a true child of Africa with a lot of originality and African culture portrayed in her music/videos. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Our pride shouldn't be whether a Nigerian or African artist win the Grammy or not. This is part of what the western world use to dominate other cultures. Elevate your mindset. Africans make better music than them. Africa is the home of rhythms. 2 Likes 1 Share |

LifestyleTonite: The fact that he is listed in the same category as she is, means somebody in the committee, or a group of people, think he can be compared to her. Do You know how many artistes they must have considered, before Burna made such an elite list? Nobody is taking away Angelique's achievements, but just like with the Coachella issue that birthed the title name of Burna's album, some of you simply refuse to acknowledge Burna's brilliance. And you don't need to run me through how the voting is done. I did not say Burna is better than Angelique, and except you are on the committee, you can't say what the members will consider. 7 Likes 1 Share |
