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

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

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.

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.

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 or winning a foreign award in Music.

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

Congratulations to Kidjo..Burna to get nominated is a big deal and we sincerely hope he will make us proud soon...

Painful to the core. We just lost Kobe and burna missing global award ,what a bad Sunday.

Don't worry Burna, we go again next January. Congrats to her, she's good though

Burna boy burna boy, burna boy still dey find Grammy

Burna try sha......but had no chance against Angeli Kidjo.

Nigeria just lost a clear shot at the Grammies,
It sure can't get any closer than this..

When Nigerians see Angelique Kidjo on the road

When were you born?

Ehya

Wetin burna dey sing self? This woman has been singing before oluburna was born abegy

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 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.

my thoughts exactly.. You got it

My chest is paining me. First it was Kobe Bryant, and now THIS?! When will someone smile again?

I just tire. Jay Z that sings alot of sex, money, weed, crack, has a closet full of Grammy nominations and the gong itself. So I don't know

Your comment lured me to go and listen to the song "we are one", the award was so deserving. Even with a bias heart, one can't compare her song to Burna" s. Congratulations Ma'am.

Sholaco:
Wetin burna dey sing self? This woman has been singing before oluburna was born abegy

Na Burna's style of singing be his greatest undoing....

another CAF rigging, im sure 9ja no vote burna like they did to Oshuola,. anyway king burna i remember penaldo didnt won his first balon d'or wen dey nominated him, keep strong and give us more jamz, Africa solidly behind u my lordie 7, u bam and rugged

Kidjo deserves it, congratulations!

Davido and wizkid now
Expecially that Davido I didn’t say anything o

sisipelebe:
I saw it coming, burnaboy is too small to defeat this woman. Burna you'll definitely get there someday.

Shatap prophetess!!!


Naso u dey 'see' reach?

the Grammy is majorly an american award a lot of people saying burna can't win a Grammy because of music quality,remember artist like cardi b and other rappers with so much profanity in their music have won in the past,while I admit Nigeria still lacks music depth a lot of popular american artist still do not have much musical depth too

Truth be told. More than half of those screaming Burna boy name don't know who Kidjo is.

Congratulations ma! Na person wey get content be that.

No be aji aji aji..

You nor well aswear.
Wetin concern agbero and overload. Wetin concern Nairaland jambites and Marlians with deep, meaningful and philosophical music.

If they cannot hear expletives or be able to dance to it like a polio patient or someone suffering from Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, it's boring.

Now watch the attitude of Nigerians.

How they will now bring the hype of this great artist to the minimum.

I've always stood for Burna Boy right from the "Like to Party" song. Always giving us good music with originality.

So is pant what we are looking for here?

Had Burna boy won, his arrogance would have quadrupled to be honest.
He should come back stronger next year.
