If bsb keeps it up they maybe will win album of the year! And really it dosen't matter what they win it just matters that they make their fans happy by singing their hearts out! So wait 23 more years and BSb will win Album of the Year.Oh yeah N Stink dosen't deserve one award lol! Submitted by BSB Freak from Stamford USA Date: Tue Mar 7 18:42:49 2000 I agree w/ all of you that BSB should've won at least 2 awards. But I have a problem with some fans saying that Santana doesn't deserve the awards cuz he just plays a guitar. Playing the guitar is still music ya know? Music is not just singing. If u guys know how hard it is even learning the musical concepts of playing an instrument, maybe you'll appreciate it more. Santana has played the guitar for years and I think he definitely has a talent. He did earn the majority of the awards (although I do have a prob w/ him winning almost all the awards). The Grammys is about MUSIC. Music can be playing an instrument or singing. Just becuz Santana doesn't sing doesn't mean that what he does ISN'T music.

Submitted by Colleen from harrisburg pa usa Date: Tue Mar 7 16:35:23 2000 I think that the Backstreet boys should have gotten album of the year, record of the year and song of the year. Their album sales broke Garth Brooks record, and they even recieved a diamond award. Santana's album did not. AT the Billboard Awards BSB recieved album, record, and song of the year. IF they got those awards at the billboards they should have recieved the grammy in those same catagories. That's what happened with Celine Dion, Lauryn Hill and Leann Rimes. They got album, record, and song of the year at the billboards and also at the grammy's. I think the grammy's were rigged and that Santana got the awards just because he didn't come out with an album for so many years and then he made a come back. Submitted by Andrea from Niagara Falls Ontario Canada Date: Tue Mar 7 13:53:08 2000 My biggest problem with the Grammy's is that the Backstreet Boys should have at least won album of the year. By statistics, Millennium is the number 1 selling album in the world. The only young artist who won was Christina Aguilara because her award was best newcommer. The Simpsons always jokes that a Grammy isn't a real award and during this year's show I realized that. It's nothing but a bunch of anal judges who continuously choose music legends as winners regardless of the new and better talent they might be up against. Now what kind of achievement is that? In general, the Grammy always goes to the old guy! Submitted by Jill Gore from Logan USA Date: Mon Mar 6 22:50:50 2000 I think that of all the nominies that the Backstreet Boys should have definitley gotten album of the year. There is not a song on the album Millenium that I can't listen to. I can just put that CD on repeat and listen to it for hours. I find it appalling that the Boys didn't win at least one category that they were nominated for! The grammy's were completely off in the choosings this year. The Boys are the only reason I even watched it! Submitted by Jana from Fairfax VA USA Date: Mon Mar 6 21:07:02 2000 Ok, now that's just horrible. The poor BSB didn't even leave the Grammy's with a single award, even when they were nominated for 4 of them. That's just seriously horrible. Santana is a pretty good artist but still... he practially went home with everything! What's more is that for most of his work, he has a guest person in it. Whereas the Backstreet Boys... they do all their own singing, etc etc. They may not write all their own songs, but their singing talent makes up for it. I thought their performance that night was exceptionally awesome and it's great that they got to perform with Elton John. I don't think that the Grammy's turned out the way that it should have because the Boys worked really hard (but I'm not saying that Santana or the other nominees didn't work hard as well). They put out some really exceptional work and they should have at least walked away with one Grammy. The way that the awards turned out was very disappointing to me... but then, there's always next year! Submitted by Pamela Vizcarrondo from Bayamon Puerto Rico Puerto Rico Date: Mon Mar 6 20:49:17 2000 First of all I think the BSB deserved at least 1 Grammy but what can we do? At least they increased their nominations and that´s important too. For Santana, I´m cool with him winning a lot of Grammys but all, come on?? Obviously the judges didn´t even look at the other nominations they just looked at Santana and they gave them to him no matter what the song was. In my opinion the song MariaMaria didn´t deserve a Grammy and less Sting for pop album...Doesn´t 30 million sold albums says something? Yeah that is really good and peolple like it... I think they are subestimating teen´s talent.But not to worry someday will get them!!!! About the performance on the a capella segment they sounded amazing as usual, but when they sang SMTMOBL the technical sound was horrible I could hardly hear Nick, and Howie was too high.. Nick was singing beautiful but to hear him you have to turn the volume reaaly high so then you could notice it..that really got me mad cause that´s one of my favorite songs and they put their hearts on it. All around the Grammys 2000 wasn´t that much for me I was very certain that they were going to win I almost cry....By the way Britney sucked when she sang live, she demostrated to the world that she can´t sing a crap. Well, I´m finished at last ...Byeeeee Submitted by broksbabe from Redwood City Ca USA Date: Mon Mar 6 20:44:35 2000 It was a total RIP OFF. santana didn't deserve half of all the awards he got. Either did TLC or STING. BSB did deserve more then two, espeacilly for Record of the year and best group/duo performance. Even though we didn't win they are still and will always be the best and #1. And BACKSTREET BOYS had the best performance, they sounded the best!!!!! Submitted by Jake from Orlando Florida U.S.A. Date: Mon Mar 6 20:13:39 2000 NOW I REALLY THINK THAT THE BOYS DID AN EXCELLENT JOB WITH THEIR PERFORMANCE, AND WITH ELTON JOHN. BUT I DO THINK THAT THE BOYS SHOULD HAVE WON THE BEST POP PERFORMANCE AND ALBUM OF THE YEAR. I AM SO SORRY BUT SANTANAS ALBUM DID NOT COMPAIR WITH THE BOYS ALBUM. I THOUGHT ALL OF THE PERFORMANCES WERE REALLY WELL DONE, WITH BRITNEY, TLC, RICKY MARTIN, ALL WERE DONE VERY WELL. I AM HAPPY THAT CHRISTINA AGUILERA WON FOR BEST NEW ARTIST, I THOUGHT HER OR BRITNEY SHOULD HAVE WON. WELL THATS ALL, THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!
