Congrats to Tyla and South Africa 🔥💪🏾
A massive win!
A well deserved win 🏆 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Some Africans went begging for a category in the grammys, basically they said they want those in the grammys to judge them and award them for their own music, now some are upset when the judgement is not in their favor. How do you build your own music genre only to give it away when you could have built your own award system where you judge yourself, like how Americans have their own music genres and they have their own award ceremonies like the grammy to judge themselves made by them awarded by them. At least have your own award ceremony where you patronise your own in the continent and let the grammy be second best 😮
You're spot on!
I agree and I’m Black American. We always want the approval of people outside of our community. It’s actually sad.
You know very well who went to begg for such, call them out
Congratulations to Tyla and SA. Congratulations to Africa
I appreciate this balanced commentary.
💛💛💛
Grammy playing Fela's Water when Tyler was announced says alot about that institution
Which artist had their song played when they went to collect their award? Did you even watch the grammies? I swear y'all say anything to justify your sourness
@@lyricsinmotion7711 more like adding salt to injury. No one is implying they should have played her song
@@o.t9358 that's exactly what he's implying by saying Fela's Water because he wants to create an impression that they played the wrong water, but that's not what happened, no artist had their song played.
Congratulations to everyone especially Tyla
Thanks MJ for the analysis
Any time! 🫡💛
It's your time Tyla! well deserved
Obviously Fela's Water won "Best African Music Performance" and not Tyla's Water. Grammy is a huge joke.
Facts 💯
Which artist had their song played when they went to collect their award? Did you even watch the grammies? I swear y'all say anything to justify your sourness
@@lyricsinmotion7711forgive them, they are so losers 😂😂😂😂
Congratulations to Tyla more wins to her, but sincerely I feel the Grammys is using Africa For PR considering our population of 1B and our music fan base across the world
What??? WOW! Burns Boy's buggest hits were samples from AMERICAN artists and producers. Selah.
In some of these categories, Nigeria was competing with INTERNATIONAL artists, so stop. afrobeats is amazing and clearly a force to be reckoned with! Go Tyla!
@@erickaransom236 So your saying water by Tyla is Afro beats? Nothing native in the song sounds American that's why she won so shhh
@@erickaransom236 I did not mention Burna boy's name and don't undermine his works because if not for him and a few others there will have never being and African category. Grammy was never a thing like that in Africa until they started nominating African artists and the new category
@@NaMi-ob7qpit's a mix of afro beats and amapiano. It's called afropiano.
Asambe 🇿🇦
Congratulations to the Princess Of South Africa🎵💗✨️🌸🇿🇦👑 oh I'm so excited for her. Okay Album out March 22🎵💿🌸🎬💗✨️
I will say that the way they always treated the foreign music categories (especially African Music Performance) is kind of weird, but then again the grammys has always been a weird 'gold plated' award show. So eh😆
Love ur takes💗✨️
She has done amazing for herself and with a good team behind her, we'll see even more of her.
@@MJWemoto oh yes, definitely!! Like I have a feeling we're going to see her get more exposure this year and in the coming years. Like it's almost like a lot of people in the industry are backing her up. Amazing!!
@@taticalypso-halls2261 yeah, she has a lot of industry goodwill and that helps a lot. Sometimes in music luck plays a crucial role but before luck you'll need talent and a good work ethic. Then you'll get more lucky. It's her time
@@MJWemoto Yeah, I think her building good and honest relationships and her ambition really helped her. I honestly think her musical journey is going to be an interesting one to see. I mean I heard that she's unpredictable in a sense that's she's like a chameleon so to speak(lol). So, I'm really excited about that. Maybe down the line she might be nominated for one of main categories at the grammys...hmmm👀🌸🇿🇦🎵 💗✨️
parabens como um sta super feliz de odja artistas africanos ta brilha na mundo forte eh gratificante gratidao deus pa oportunidade de ouro que africa sa tem hoji de brilha na luz so gratidao mesmo 🥰🥰🥰❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏parabens pa td artistas africanos dja txiga nos bem de mostra nos talento de faze mundo brilha ku nos voz de resgata almas gratidaooooo
Go Tyla goooooooo!
What a talent and star!!!
Grammys used n dump Nigeria artists to push their agenda 😂
What agenda is that?
People like you read a phase then used like you understand what your saying. So what is the agenda??
If y’all don’t know d agenda, then forget abt it
Nigerians are the ones who begged the Grammys for a category now they upset because they didn’t win? You really think Nigerians should win every year? The entitlement is crazy
120 M views in 4 months she deserved it she performed all over the world got international interviews in 2 months damn
Best performance, not most viral
@@o.t9358 lol check her views bruh in every platform even here weeeh wena
Without Nigerian music, Grammy won’t have created dat category. It makes sense to give d award to one of d Nigerian artists not Tyla. My opinion
They don’t use sentiments lol 😂
It’s fully by voting, congratulations to South Africa and Tyla 🇳🇬🇿🇦❤️
You'll get well don't worry
@@jmxsounds yes they do. Did u listen to Jay Z’s speech ? They announced Tyla “Water” but they r playing Fela’s “Water” when she was going on d stage. Delusional 😂
@@jerryotomewo6284 no enlighten me brother
is that category called "nigerians best performance " ? no its Africa am not even south african but if we talk about performance ,not music ,not album ,or streams
TYLA derserves the win.
Burnaboy is my GOAT but we are talking about performance done this year
Her song performed well in the charts compared to the rest of the other nominated songs. It’s also an African performance slot not Afrobeats plus majority of the songs nominated have a hint of Amapiano in their production. She deserves it just as much as if it was Davido who had won 🏆
I agree, I don't think many people are giving enough credit to the reality that this was a tough category whichever way. From an impact perspective, her trajectory with this song is a case study for decades to come in African music
Congrats to tyla, india and South africa
Why India?
Grammy doing Grammy things...
African need to way up, they gave us English songs,
How come the African category didn't have any north African nominations? Sudan, morroco and Egypt have no famous musicians?
This is a great question - I'll assume you mean the Best African Music Performance category. There are many variables to consider here including possibilities such as artists from those countries not submitting for consideration. We simply wouldn't know. Since that category is new and presented for the first time this year, what we will see over time with the nominees and winners will be trends that may point us to a worthy answer.
Grammy doesn't Worth it anymore. Definitely if I can make one single song hit, it means I will get Grammy.
Dis guys are joke. I know she got it cos of the record label she's into tho.
Then why does Tems have a Grammy? She has never even released an album
Where is keynaan😮😮
This doesn't make any sense to me, if this award category wasn't rigged for tyla then why wasn't 'calm down' or 'love nwantiti' nominated.... afterall i dont think the time the song was released was considered, it was performance right and as long as it was big. Love nwantiti was just as big a hit as water, on tiktok, spotify...everywhere, it even had a cute dance too. So why didn't it even get nominated....cuz then tyla wouldn't even have had a chance, LOL😅
Did any of those artists label submit their songs for consideration? Ayra Starr was already nominated and from what I understand a label can only support one artist at a time and Marvin records had already pushed for Ayra so they can’t push for Rema also
@@pump1180 oh ok, i understand buuuuuh tyla still didnt deserve the grammy.......at least not yet
@@lawsonkitty3747 why not?
@@pump1180 the award was giving off merit not the actual quality of the song. Plus water doesnt even represent african music like the other nominees🤷🏾♀️
@@lawsonkitty3747 you mean it doesn’t represent Nigerians and west Africans like the other nominees. Tyla is coloured and South African we are not going to erase people from the African identity and industry because it doesn’t fit with west African culture.
She's a plant. How she pass over all the legendary Africans singers who been in the game before she was even bron
Because her song was one of 3 solo African songs to ever enter the top 10 billboards. You forget that Asake was also nominated and he didn’t even exist until 2 years ago and in the short time has reached the same level as Davido who has been around for over 10 years but I don’t see you calling Asake an industry plant 😅
Because of how she looks such as her beauty, her multi-ethnicity and appeal, then her sexual appeal.
@@pump1180how many billboard charts did Shakti enter 😂, please gtfoh
@@o.t9358 no idea you should google it and come back and tell us
Do u think winning one grammy is enough
In life you win some, you lose some.
tyla don’t deserve the grammy. i’m happy this happen because now we nigeria will develop our own award show. grammy is trash
Tyla song topped in the top 10 billboard charts. None of those other songs nominated even came close to those numbers. Her song was an international hit she definitely had the biggest song in the category she was always going to win. Nigerians are the ones who begged the Grammys for a category now you complain because the winner is not Nigerian? You think every year a Nigerian must win? 😂 the entitlement is crazy
The problem is that Davido, Tems, and Burna Boy are simply not good singers at all. Tyla is barely halfway decent. It's like these folks are tone deaf and when you hear them live, it's not good. Afro beats is certainly about the beats. That's another issue, Afro beats is heavily driven by programming and not live instruments and that could get repetitive and boring. I have heard of African artists whose music and singing far outweighs Davido and Burna Boy right now under the Afro fusion genre. For artists to start winning, improve the singing, if not the singing, introduce new African sound blends and start using more live music on the actual albums.
Fuck grammy award 😤 hahah Africans should come together and unit create their own awards like serious this grammy is noy for us is for them 😅
Already we have AFRIMAs, but most African artists would rather be touring the world than to attend the awards because they don't take them seriously, they want validation from westerners.
I watched last year's awards and no North African artists attended and most Nigerian artists were also absent, it was very sad and empty.
@@mphosa995 We used to have many awards but sponsors pull out because we don’t see value in ourselves. We had KORA Awards, Channel O Africa awards, Soundcity MVP awards, MTV African music awards but all of them have disappeared. However in every foreign award the whole African community comes out especially Nigerian Afrobeats stars. The whole Nigerian music industry was in attendance at the Grammy weekend.
Africa is too corrupt so thez nothing better we can create.
Grammy is nonsense
Then why the comment? Create your own! Judge your own creativity and brilliance!
This isn't a good thing at all.
