I have this quote hanging on the door of my classroom.

I sure hope Hayley wins! I haven't heard her "Westside Story" performance, but I'm sure it is very good.

If Celtic Woman never wins a Grammy, they have certainly won the hearts of a host of fans.

What is the importance and relevance of the Grammys these days anyway? More importantly, who watches these award shows, including the Oscars? I have better time spent than watching a bunch of overpaid, underweight, no-talent, publicity-hounding pop stars patting each other on the back telling each other how great they are and how gorgeous they look in that gown. The Grammys is a popularity contest and a method of hyping and pushing record sales than recognizing the actual talent and artistic merits of the music. Load of rubbish, this current state of the music industry.

Even if Orlagh would never win that Grammy, it won't make her any less worthy or respected. She won't lose anything but her wonderful unadulterated talent and the many fans that brought her to her music in the first place.

I agree but still it would be cool!!![ ;)quote author=stephany link=topic=1942.msg85485#msg85485 date=1197009373]
Orla won't be able to win a Grammy this year but could still go to the ceremony in February to support Hayley Westenra. She is nominated in the musical category for the recording of West Side Story. Fingers crossed for Hayley!

That is just so darn cool!

It's good that Miss Westenra got recongnized.

As to the larger problem... Here is an impossible solution to the many fine musical artist not recognized by the Grammys.

The people that run that Puzzle Palace could establish a category called:

Artist Too Good for a Grammy.

[Moscapoet]

Amen! That would be all of our Celtic Woman ladies! Too good for a grammy!

[edtom]

I recently read a Book of Lists listing of famous performers who have never won a Grammy. The three I remember are Bing Crosby, the Beach Boys, and the Rolling Stones. The rest of the list were equally famous.     Good company

[Moscapoet]

Just from those three it appears that the grammy has nothing to do with talent. Orla and all others in CW your award rests in our hearts. We love you.
