I beleiev the boys where robbed of the Grammy for Best POP album and Best POP performance. But all and all their performance was off the hook!! It kicked major @$$. Of course we're not surprised we knew they could do it!! You go boyz. Oh and by the way, they recieved mad props for their performance the next day. Submitted by michelle from **** Canada Date: Mon Feb 28 23:36:18 2000 I've been reading over some of the entries that people have made about the Grammy's, and i must say, I'm kinda shocked at some of the entries. Many people seem to think that Santana is this bad person for taking all the awards. Before anybody goes off on me, hear me out. I am a HUGE Backstreet Boys fan, but I also like the song "Smooth". I do think that the Boys' did deserve to win something, but what gives everyone visiting this message board to put down Sanatana. Yes, it was unfair that Santana wlaked away with so many awards, but he did deserve what he won. Like the Backstreet Boys, he worked hard to get where he is. You need talent in order to make it into the music business, but you also need that same talent and hard work to stay there. Sanatana may have taken some time off, but if the guy had no talent, why did he make such a successful comeback? And why is he hugely repected by many in the music industry if he had no talent? I don't know how many of you like Ricky Martin or Marc Anthony, but do you relize that if it wasn't for Santana, people like Ricky or Marc wouldn't be as popular as they are now? Santana helped break a racial barrier by making it in the music business and opened the door for people of Latin origin to make it big. I don't mean to be giving a lecture or anything, but I just want to get a point across. And on another note: to all those people who come to this message board and put down BSB, what gives you the right to put down an artist that did nothing wrong to you? You may not like their music, but ther are people out there that do. I also don't like the fact that many of these people have such a closed mind about the group, thinking that "Oh, its just a bunch of boys who were brought together based on there looks and have absolutely no talent what-so-ever because of it." These guys do have talent. If you just shut your trap for a minute and actually listened to their voices instead of putting them down, maybe you would realize that there is more to them then pretty faces. Looks come and go, but talent is something that stays. I could pull out a long list of well respected artists who began their careers as heartthrobs to teenage girls, but have made a huge impact on the music industry. You can The Beatles, Elvis and Frank Sinatra, just to name a few. They were all seen as hearthrobs, but when you look at them now, they are seen as people who changed music forever with their sound. The Backstreet Boys are doing the exact same thing. To all those people who say that the Boys' have no talent and say that what their doing takes no ability what so ever, I'd like to say this: it takes hard work to be uccessful in life. Nothing comes easy. The Boys' have worked their asses off to get where they are now. They've been together for over seven years. If they weren't committed to what they were doing, and if they had no talent what-so-ever, they wouldn't be where they are right now. If you would just open up your mind, you would know where I'm coming from.

Not who has the best hair, who is so "hot", and who dresses the best. So Santana is older? So what? Do you think BSB are going to stay young forever?? Also, to you people pi*sing and moaning about how Santana was "greedy" to "steal" all the awards. He won them fair and square! Did you really expect him to say, "Oh no, I've won way too many awards tonite. Please take this one back, sandblast my name off of it, and pencil in BSB." Give me a break!!! Somehow, I get the feeling that if the boys in BSB weren't so attractive, they wouldn't have half the audience they do. Submitted by Erica from Mt. Vernon North America Date: Mon Feb 28 23:10:34 2000 I am VERY dissapointed that the Backstreet Boys didn't win a Grammy. Santana Won pratically every award. I don't think that it is fair. Backstreet Boys: If I were the voter, I wuold have chose you every time! GOOD LUCK NEXT TIME!!! Submitted by parvati from pune maharashtra india Date: Mon Feb 28 23:03:05 2000 BACKSTREET BOYS deserved to win at least pop album of the year.....i had a feeling that they wouldnt win any other award b-coz i feel the people who vote 4 the awards at the grammys give awards only to OLD PEOPLE i mean hey .....look at it.... santana,whitney housten,sting,cher,TLC...(they are not old but have been around 4 quite a while now)and just about everyone else was old.i dont mean to offend anyone hear but that's the way i see it. i also think that BSB should have won best pop song with vocals.....i cant believe that santana won this too.....i mean can u even hear what those two people are singing in maria,maria?? to put it plain and simple ...i'd say that grammy awards are biased. Submitted by athena from troy greece Date: Mon Feb 28 22:16:12 2000 To all the BSB dissers coming on this site, what are you trying to prove? Do you think you're actually going to make us change our minds on how we feel about BSB? We don't care if you don't like BSB! Because we love them! That's why we're on this site. Why are you here? Think about that for awhile... Anyways, I'd just like to say that the BSB were ripped off at the Grammys. They atleast deserved record of the year for "I want it that way". Everyone liked that freaking song! It even had Backstreet haters singing along! The only reason BSB and all these other "teen" artists were nominated was so a lot of people would watch the show. I knew they wouldn't win anything. That just pisses me off. Submitted by Christine Bogan from Ft. Bragg NC USA Date: Mon Feb 28 22:01:52 2000 I was very upset that BSB didn't get any Grammys! I'm glad at the other outcomes though. But this year has been big for BSB, most deservingly. My fav. Grammy, which is the Album of the Year- well, I was really, really, hoping it would go to BSB! Satana is very talented, and very good with the guitar, but did he have to win every catagory BSB was in???? Grammys aren't the only award show, and BSB did get awards (deservingly) this year, like the Best Group in the People's Choice Awards. How about the Viewer's Choice, at the MTV Video Music Awards? And they won 4 awards at the BILLBOARD AWARDS (along with Britney)! So it is not all bad, fortunatly. But the Grammys are the ones who follow you throughout your life (the other ones do too, but the Grammys are more important). Still, BSB put out a great Grammy performance, and it is good that they got at least nominated. Submitted by michelle from il usa Date: Mon Feb 28 21:58:25 2000 It's simple- BSB kicked ass ( eventhough they didn't win any awards) and everything else sucked!!! Submitted by Christina from New York NY USA Date: Mon Feb 28 21:50:29 2000 HI ALL!! FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT YOU GUYS R GETTING WAY TO UPSET ABOUT THE GRAMMY AWARDS. BSB HAS WON AWARDS AND WILL CONTINUE TO WIN AWARDS, IT IS NOT THE END OF THEIR CAREER. LETS LOOK BACK, BUT I REMEMBER THEM WINNING AWARDS FROM THE AMA'S, MTV'S, AND PEOPLE CHOICE AWARDS TO NAME A FEW. I KNOW THEY WORKED HARD ON THERE ALBUM, BUT SANTANA DID ALSO, AND I THINK THAT BSB SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST RECIEVED ONE AWARD BUT, IT IS "MUSIC BUSINESS". THINK OF IT THIS WAY, NOW SANTANA WON,, A FEW, BUT WILL HE WIN AGAIN NEXT YEAR OR BE NOMINATED? PROBABLY NOT, BUT WILL BSB BE NOMINATED? PROBABLY YES. LIKE I SAID IT IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD AND I KNOW BSB WORKED HARD ON THERE ALBUM BUT WHAT CAN WE DO? NOTHING BUT BUY THERE ALBUMS AND VOTE ON AWARDS SHOWS! THATS ABOUT IT FOR ME! BYE Submitted by Heather from Hanover Pa USA Date: Mon Feb 28 21:18:08 2000 I think Santana is a major dickhead for winning all of the Backstreet Boys' awards!!! I mean he had his chance when he was in the music business like 20 years ago. He shouldn't be coming back as an old fart to beat out the best, sexiest group in the world!! He doesnt even freakin' sing and I feel that he doesn't deserve 8 Grammys especially when 3 should have gone to BSB. As far as Sting beating BSB... I guess that doesn't bother me as much but it still pisses me off. I mean they looked soooooooooo HOT at the Grammys and all I'm gonna say about Nick is "Damn!" Can we say the hottest guy in the world? Well, I just wanted to express my opinions about the Grammys.
