On this episode we'll be cover the infamous CURSE of the Best New Artist Grammy. Many claim that artists who win Best New Artist at the Grammys are cursed to failure throughout the rest of their career. Is it true?
Let's put it to the test and gauge artist by artist, year by year, and see what we get. We're starting with the first 5 years of the 90's because.... WHEW do we have a lot of material for this.

The Grammy Award for Best New Artist has been awarded since the 2nd Annual Grammy Awards in 1960.[1] Years reflect the year in which the Grammy Awards were handed out, for records released in the previous year. The award was not presented in 1967. The official guidelines are as follows: "For a new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist." Note that this is not necessarily the first album released by an artist; for example, Shelby Lynne won the award in 2001 after having already released six albums over 13 years.[2]
The Best New Artist award has a reputation for being given to artists whose music industry success ends up being short-lived; it is sometimes asserted, with varying degrees of sincerity, that the award itself brings a curse.[3][4] This viewpoint was expressed by former Starland Vocal Band member Taffy Danoff in a 2002 interview for VH1's 100 Greatest One Hit Wonders: "We got two of the five Grammys - one was Best New Artist. So that was basically the kiss of death and I feel sorry for everyone who's gotten it since."[5]
The category is also notable for being the only category in which a Grammy Award was vacated; this occurred in 1990 after it was revealed that winners Milli Vanilli did not contribute their own vocals on their album, Girl You Know It's True.[6] The award was not then given to another artist.[7]

Thing is with Milli Vanilli - in Europe we'd been doing the whole "session singer or sample for vocals, put a pretty model out front to pretend to sing it" for years before and continued to do so afterwards. Most europop and eurodances acts were like this, especially in the 80s and 90s. We Euro-folks were over here wondering what you Americans were making such a fuss about. The big question is how they won Best New Artist in the first place. Their songs were crap. However, don't be talking no smack about Neneh Cherry, "Buffalo Stance" is a banger.

@CrashThompson Год назад

Nah, Neneh was pretty good. Buffalo Stance is in fact a banger.

I never got it either, and im american. thats what dance records were back then, and not just european ones. a lot of latin freestyle songs, for example, changed out session vocalists. in the 1960s, it was also pretty common in american pop music with all those vocal groups. sometimes a song would be credited to a completely different group than who performed it.

They were extremely successful commercially. Album soend 7 week at first place. 5 song from album was in top 5 of billboard, with 3 of them being 1 hit

@freakfoxvevo7915 6 месяцев назад

I'm guessing why Milli Vanilli got the shit they did is because no one in America really attempted such a trick before. Most American "fake bands" before 1989 like The Monkees and The Partridge Family at least had the actual people playing and singing music. Milli Vanilli was trying something bold for Americans, and it failed when they were found out

So to add what you said about the 1993 award, as Todd in the Shadow pointed out in his Trainwreckord episode on Zingalamaduni: what's probably most unfortunate with Arrested Development's particular getting cursed is that they were a group out of Atlanta, Georgia, a city now known for being the center of southern hip hop. Not only did the love for their debut record disappear, their initial landmark achievement of putting the ATL on the map went with it. Outside of any sources talking about the group or their lead, Speech, directly, the history of the 90s hip hop scene has been rewritten to pretty much remove all mention of them or their impact on rap, Outkast is now being given credit for getting Atlanta known.

@Jayfive276 Год назад

Rob and Fab really got a raw deal. That album they made with their real voices is actually fantastic, and had it not been for the controversy, I think it could've been a big hit. Imo it proved that all they needed was a little more time for vocal lessons and practice in order to hit their full potential. I wish retellings of the Milli Vanilli story didn't constantly treat it like an afterthought.

@mastasexyrobotblasta4790 Год назад

That SWV album is FULL of bangers. One of my favorite albums of the 90s! Why you do dem girls like that, crash? 😅😅😅

@lilmissebbz116 Год назад

I was thinking the same. It's About Time is one of the most lauded albums from that era in R&B at least. "Weak" is a song that seems to never disappear. Yes, they were not as notable but I am thinking label politics are the only reason that they didn't fully break through. "Anything", "You're Always On My Mind", and "Weak" speak for themselves and are way bigger indicators of why they were there. My personal favorite from their debut is "It's About Time" . And at that, Toni's self-titled album was a great project as well. "Spending My Time With You", "Another Sad Love Song", "Love Shoulda Brought You Home"., and the original "How Many Ways" are some great songs. I do agree with it being a safe choice to a degree though.

@FMAkers-jq2kh Год назад

Milli Vanilli's big album, GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE, is actually pretty enjoyable if you accept it for what it is: pure, uncut Europop designed in a lab to be fun. Music critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote an excellent review of the album, and this sums it up pretty well: "Anytime Milli Vanilli had to be before the cameras, there they were, since producer/songwriter/musician/all-around mastermind and mad genius Frank Farian knew damn well that nobody would want to buy the record after seeing him or the middle-aged studio vocalists that sang on the records. So, he did what any self-respecting Euro-dance producer would do - made his record the best he could, then got somebody to act as frontman. Farian wasn't doing something unprecedented here, since there have been many acts throughout Europop history that either didn't sing or didn't sing well - they were just figureheads. The problem is, he did this at a time when acts were more visible than they ever were [due to MTV]... "As soon as the news spread, America was shocked - shocked, I tell you, shocked! - that those pretty German boys weren't actually soulfully singing in flawless English on those impeccably constructed dance tracks, and immediately shunned the duo, burning the records in some cases. Which is sort of like gazing longingly at a Playboy centerfold and then being so horrified when you learn the photo is airbrushed, you lose all interest in sex. The fact is, with dance-pop (especially Euro-dance!), just like Playboy, artificiality is the name of the game, and that's what is good about it. It's the distinguishing characteristic, its identity, the core of its being. On that level, it's hard not to listen to GIRL YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE and marvel at the level of Farian's studiocraft, since it doesn't even sound like he programmed a computer to make this music; it sounds like something the machine wrote on its own accord..."

@RexVergstrong Год назад

@jordashi Год назад

I think that's the funny thing about europop, especially Eurodance is how easy it was for many DJ's to have breakout hits but couldn't follow the traditional model for what an artist was (at least at the time). Now a days people like David Guetta, Daft Punk, Calvin Harris, and so forth can enjoy having a massive career and being able to perform their hits to millions of people, but back then it was such a novelty idea for a DJ let alone a producer to be considered an artist. I think that's the loophole a lot of them used, having a model to be the star is no different to what Gorillaz would do with their animation band. But for the average person they couldn't care less, most of europop to them (excluding ABBA) was middle of the road bubblegum pop that was easy to ignore despite how massive they were. OF COURSE and I'm laughing as I type this, but BOY hindsight is our friend ,because the entire late 90s, and early 2000s pop scene would be defined by europop, and even the past 20 plus years of pop music has been shaped by it ESPECIALLY in dance music. God it's weird to say but Mili Vanilli could had worked in this day of age more than they did back then because now people don't care how their getting the music. I mean now you really could have a act that is just a front for the real band so in a way I feel bad for Mili Vanili because even though in Europe it was normal to have models pretend to be the singers, and have session singers to do all of the work (though I guess for a europop act Milli Vanilli was bad but still), Americans were PISSED about it. But I mean to be fair we let Paula Abdul and Jennifer Lopez slide as well so honestly....on behalf of the hindsight police I want to issue an apology to Milli Vanilli for how they were treated by the American media.

The truth is, during that time of my life, which was around freshman year of high school, I was listening to more hair metal bands. But my brother’s girlfriend was listening to the Mariah Carey album and it was unbelievably beautiful. I loved those songs, not to mention Mariah’s singing. (Now I’m pissed off that my iPhone’s talk-to-text can’t spell “Mariah”. Who the f*ck do they think I’m talking about?) 😡 Mariah rules.

Well, who could hear that voice and not immediately understand? Also, Mariah was all of 19 or 20 at the time, so there's that too. It just made sense from nearly every angle. Add in Tommy Mottola steering things in the background and there's no way she wasn't going to win, but even without him pulling every string known to man, she genuinely deserved it. It's one of the few instances where a black female artist DIDN'T get shafted by the Grammys.

@martinkreps9946 17 дней назад

Yeah, but They Might Be Giants made their debut in 1982 and made their first album in 1986. That album had their hit song Don't Let's Start. It might've qualified in 1987. And I'm very surprised they got snubbed as well.

@Chelaxim Год назад

People were shocking naïve about Milli Vanilli. How people didn't notice how they sounded exactly like the album every time, the lady background singers who were different all sounded the same everytime and in the music video for Girl You Know It's True there's a spoken word intro and Fab has an American accent speaking fluently but in interviews Rob and Fab had heavy German and Frech accents and they barely knew English at time! With all of that people still didn't know 🤦‍♂️ It's funny because at the time people were thinking that Paula Abdul and New Kids On The Block were using other people's voices.

@scottlarson1548 Год назад

I remember seeing footage of them actually singing for a few moments in concert on MTV News. For a minute or two they had to sing because they were serenading a woman they had dragged up on stage. Their voices were harsh and painfully off key. When they went back to lip syncing the next song surely *someone* would have noticed that their voices had made an impossible recovery.

@Neevie-Styx Год назад

@@scottlarson1548- People were so naïve back in those days that they didn’t even know Freddie Mercury was gay. As for lip syncing, most people can’t tell even today when someone is lip-syncing. They don’t seem to realize it’s the exact same version they’ve heard on the radio. I guess some people’s brains just don’t process the details of songs in that way. It’s easy to tell for those of us who really pay close attention to music. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen Stevie Nicks doing Solid Gold, but she’s one of the few singers that didn’t lip-sync. I don’t know how she convinced them. She probably just refused to come on the show unless they let her sing live. I adore Stevie, but she somehow escaped my close attention as a child. I didn’t realize how great she was until “The Dance” concert was released around 1998. I didn’t even know that she was in Fleetwood Mac, LOL. It didn’t help that my parents deprived me of MTV. I ended up using drugs instead. They should have just gotten cable television. I would have very likely stayed at home watching music videos if that had been a choice for me. 😊

@@Neevie-Styx There's a Midnight Special compilation on the Cal Video channel that has Fleetwood Mac performing "Rhiannon" on the show. People were saying in the comments how excellent singers were back then. Well, I can't say that Stevie Nicks was an impressive singer from that performance. She wasn't really hitting any notes and often fell back on more speaking the words instead of singing them. I don't think we noticed those things back then.

You’re right about Mariah Carey’s self titled not being very well remembered, but she topped the billboard top 200 albums for 11 weeks and had 4 number 1 singles off of it. I think 1990 just wasn’t a memorable year; not that it wasn’t a very successful album.

And to promote the indigo girls as a front runner for best new artist for the 1989 group, then talk about things not being well remembered?? Hmm

I appreciate that The Grammys conversation pool is limited, but when you were saying that mysic in 1989 was really bad I kept screaming “What about Nine Inch Nails? Ministry? Faith No More?”

I have to say thank you as a Dream Theater fan for mentioning images and words. Fantastic album, I'm super glad they finally won one recently.

@benhemsworth8555 Год назад

Rust in Peace and Cowboys From Hell dropped in ‘90. Grammys surely wouldn’t touch it but definitely a better choice.

@Skycladatdusk78 Год назад

Painkiller, Seasons In The Abyss, Souls Of Black, Facelift, Persistence Of Time, Lights Camera Revolution, the debut from Deicide and Never, Neverland by Annihilator were all great 1990 releases too. 1990 is one of my favorite metal years.

I can't wait til you get to Evanescence beating 50 Cent for Best New Artist. I guarantee Evanescence wouldn't beat anyone nowadays if they just came out because rock and metal are secluded on their own little island and they don't get to play with the popular crowd anymore.

Wilson Phillips album was solid. I remember friends and myself listening to it over and over whilst driving to the beach.

I'm honestly shocked that none of the big pop rappers of the Early 90's got nominated at all. Yes, Hammer and Vanilla Ice were bad, but they were HUGE. Also, 95 is gonna be interesting, to say the least, with so many artists I think actually deserved their nominations.

@courtneyjohnsonhaber4591 Год назад

Justice for Neneh! She was doing that weird, like Beck-style stream of conscious rap when it wasn't cool yet.

@kayfimt7769 Год назад

The curse applies much better to 1995-2000 imo. All five of those were big deals who eventually drove off a cliff, whereas 1990-1995 contains Mariah Carey and Sheryl Crow who managed to have good careers.

Great vid! Interesting to see what all the nominees were since i was in diapers at the time for them. Indigo Girls were my first concert when I was 2 years old (and 2nd concert when I was 5), so I wouldn't be upset if they won. I also just bought tickets to see Seal for me and my mom. Those first 2 self-titlted albums got played a lot when I was a kid, and he's touring to celebrate their 30 year anniversaries.

@NottyGurlStyle Год назад

I love Soul II Soul and it would have been nice to see them get a Grammy. In the our community Soul II Soul is still good to play..at least I do. For Milli Villi it wasn't their fault...I feel bad for them big time. Even if they didn't sing the song I still like the two biggest tracks. At least for me as bad as you think some songs were..I love them lol Grammy or not I still enjoy this song evens today. I still love Vision of Love growing up, still one of my favorite songs. Love The Black Crows albums. I have it in my collection and still in my rotation.

NIN dropped their debut pretty hate machine in late 1989 and should’ve been eligible in 1991. They won a couple Grammys later so they probably should’ve been nominated in hindsight.

@nosajdabeno Год назад

Considering how many current artists use backing tracks/lip sync during performances, I say we give Milli Vanilli their awards back. Although I suppose that wouldn’t help Rob Pilatus these days. For the record I’m more of a hard rock/metal guy so, I’m not saying this because I’m a Milli Vanilli fan, more just because of how “common” that sort of thing happens these days. At least as far as the tape screw up goes “Girl You Know It’s… Girl You Know It’s… Girl You Know It’s…”
