That acceptance speech stopped everyone in their tracks. True musicians know that all musicians are musicians. Humility is everything. This man is just radiant in every way.
Pure New Orleans spirit.
@@jazzmanchgo I’ve only been to NOLA once as a kid, and I sooo wanna go back now as an adult.
G DRAGON THE KING -
So true🙏🙏🙏🙌
That joy in his soul sooo comes out..
For the people asking who he is, let me tell you. He's won a freaking Oscar, Golden Globe and BAFTA for Pixar's "Soul" score. His music isn't mainstream but it's crazy culturally rich and groundbreaking. It may surprise you, but music goes beyond pop and sad breakup songs.
Most deserved win in years.
Yes! I adore him. Couldn't be happier!
It really surprised me cause "to pimp a butterfly" didn't win back then, 1989 won.
Well said
Thank you for educating me. I think I need to pay attention to him from now on.
@@andreazucchetto1439 yeah, 1989 is a really good pop record filled with a bunch of hits, but To Pimp a Butterfly is PERFECTION that it should have actually won that award.
"There is no best musician or artist... The creative arts are subjective & they reach people in the moments in their lives when they need it most." - this is life and facts
" Nothing But THE TRUTH; I LOVE MUSIC; MEDICINE FOR THE SOUL. LIKE GEORGE DUKE SAYS" THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON"!! JUST HITS ME WHERE I AM"!! ✌"!!!
“This is for all the real artists, real musicians…”
100% encapsulates his win. Legendary
In a room full of un
Authentic people.
G DRAGON IS KING
"I love ya, even if I don't know ya! Good night, HEEY!"
that alone deserves the Grammy 🤣
Was going to post this. I love that!
Bout to meme this AYYYYE SAP

@@himaririku9254 where is the correlation?
The best most organic and genuine acceptance speech I have ever seen
Agreed 🙂
💯💯💯💯
stephen must be jumping with joy
@@niveinratnayake668 aww man, can u imagine how he feels seeing his main man take home music’s biggest prize?!! Love it 👏🏾👏🏾❤️🤟🏾
Will Smith should take note of what a grateful speech is supposed to be.
Finally the grammys awarded an artist for his talent and not popularity. This is how these awards should’ve always be.
They always,does this is the problem..there r way more better album was released in last year
@@tanbirnr2389 bruh moment
@@tanbirnr2389 obviously not so stay mad
lmao you're just trying to be different and are u sayong that billie eilish and doja cat has no talent lmfao just no -😭💀 grammys is just trying to be different af
Agree. Just like 2009 when nobody talked about Adelle & she won 2 grammy. However I still wonder why they put Jon's album on R/B album (which is lost to Jasmine sullivan) ? Well, I think it's deserved to nominee of American roots album or maybe jazz album
Instead of complaining how he isn’t as mainstream, I invite anyone and everyone to dive into this man’s catalog and learn about him. He has an infectious spirit of joy that’s impossible to ignore or resist. This recognition he’s finally getting is so deserved, he’s an impossibly talented musician. So happy for you, Jon, and much light and love to your wife on her second battle with cancer!
💖✨may the divine forces delivers the healing 🙏🏾✨🪐
I did precisely that and if you strip away everything and just play the voice track. It is not even registering as even remotely good. Billie ellish and Olivia are the same. Take all the effects away and listen to a live stripped version. They sing in one tone and Simon Cowell would of mocked them back in the day during an audition.
@@theoutsiderspost4982 Because Simon Cowell is the end all be all of determining musical talent? How did most of those American Idol careers turn out? And if the album was just one guy singing, I’d see your point. But it’s not. It’s like stripping down a Beatles album to the drums and saying, “Well Ringo does nothing but basic beats, this band sucks!”
@@theoutsiderspost4982 This is one of the most asinine comments I've seen on CZcams.
Yb better
One of the best acceptance speeches I’ve ever heard. His pure soul is radiating through him. Congrats to him ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
His wife is fighting against a very aggressive cancer😔
Good thing he made the music for Soul
It's the speech since Lauryn Hill in 1999 at the Grammys .
So true 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
Yesssss. His smile at the end made my whole day.
The fact that he said music is like a radar and finds who needs it the most at that time is so accurate. That's how I relate to music. I may not need a particular song in one season in my life but then that same song hits me differently in a different season in my life when I'm going through certain situations. I love that he said that
Indeed. What an apt way to put it.
Seriously! I found his song on youtube when I needed a song just like it
G DRAGON IS KING
I came back to this speech after a year, just to hear it again. What he said resonated with me, and I wanted to come back to hear him 😁
So well deserved!! This isn't the VMA. It's not a popularity, radio friendly competitor. This album had substance!
The recording academy is notorious for arranging popularity contests, so one would only expect the album with the most streams to win here.
Then why isn't Red Velvet getting any nominations?
He was shocked he won as with millions watching the show. Every nominee had substance. It's better to be lucky than good. Almost everybody was given an award. Last year only one person dominated the awards and a lot were unhappy.
why Melanie isn't there
@@pinoykayaker who dominated last year?

Why
Everybody expected the populars pop ones to win but this album is special!! well deserved!! Believe it Jon it's yours
💯People gotta learn that the Grammys do not serve the same purpose as the billboard awards. It’s not about charts or Spotify streams
@@JRNova11 pe-fucking-reiodttttt
I'm very glad that they didn't pick a mediocre teen pop trash over this masterpiece.
I already knew he was gonna win after that awesome performance he did
@@auandaily ur a swiftie 😂
Jon Batiste irradiates so many good things out of his music and words. A true musician and a very unique human being.
Well said. Thank you.
Did he lip synch ? No real musician would lip synch at the Grammys. No real musician would allow prerecorded music either.
Play completely live or you are a fraud.
@@davidrobertson5881 What are you talking about? He was singing outside on the Red Carpet before even going into the venue! Why are some sad sacks so incapable of ackowedging the brilliance, accomplishments and success of others?
@@davidrobertson5881 how does that make them frauds?
It’s MUSIC awards. Not pantomime awards. Let’s see how well they perform with real music being played and really singing. NO goofy autotune.
This was a REAL acceptance speech. No fluff, fakeness, or making up stuff to be talked about the next day. There IS no perfect recording artist, movie star, box office star, athlete, etc., etc., etc.. We are share in the greatness or skills of beautiful people that try.
I love how genuinely thrilled Billie Eilish seems that Jon won. If she was disappointed that she didn't win, she did not show it at all.
Agreed, that was a really sweet moment.
Jon said on Colbert the other night that Finneas and Billie actually told him they were hoping he would win this category
I’ve never heard a speech like this at an awards show. What a class act. Prayers for his beautiful wife’s speedy recovery.
What happened to her?
who was that female he kissed during his Freedom performance last night?
@@keyahsuel8025 she has cancer.
@@keyahsuel8025 I think she has leukemia after it was in remission
@@Girneosny Anyone envying Jon Batiste's wife because THEY'RE not, please reverse that feeling to HEALING for her.
Batiste deserves a Grammy for his spiritual musical journey. He is totally authentic. Unlike many new musicians that sing (badly)for the money, this man sings for the soul.
Can u name the new musicians who sing badly ? I want an explanation
Bts kpoop
@@kimchi4712 right, he loves them too, because they are equally authentic and love what they do
The other nominees are Taylor Swift, Doja Cat, Billie Eilish, and ,Olivia Rodrigo, BTS isn't even nominated why would you drag them here 😂, and also all of this nominees isn't crap singers they deserve the award too 🙄
He is an incredible musician but I also don’t think he would appreciate using his words, his music, and his message to say negative things about another artist. Listen to the speech again because im not sure you got the point of it. Music is subjective and every single person there tonight was incredibly talented. We Are deserved this win, it is a huge homage to Black culture and New Orleans jazz. But every musician is talented and none are better than others, they just have different journeys 🙏🏼
THE GRAMMYS GOT IT RIGHT!!! THE BEST ALBUM ACTUALLY WON. THANK YOU FOR NOT JUST GOING THE COMMERCIAL ROUTE!!!!
??????????????
Agree. Hiwever I still wonder why he lost to jazmine in R/B album. Even I think the album is more deserved on category of American roots album or maybe jazz album. Anyone know the reason ?
@@akapela2343 cause jazmines album was better r&b
@@leeziliiika8009 I don't mind Jasmine win it because I lov her since bust the window. What I mean is Jon's album is not really R/B, the albun has more sound of genre there. It's more deserved to another cetogary such as American roots or even on jazz category. Actually he was a jazzy musician
Cap, Lil Nas X Montero was everything. It should’ve won. Rigged in history.
“It’s more than entertainment - it’s a spiritual practice.”
As much as I wanted evermore to win and follow folklore's footsteps, I gotta give props to the Recording Academy for awarding a lesser known artist the biggest category of the GRAMMYs.
This is proof that you don't have to be the biggest artist or have the biggest song or album on the planet to win an award like this.
well duh it’s not a popularity contest
Yes definitely, judging music by something other than hype! I am a huge Swiftie but I think Taylor doesn't need another Grammy. This makes a huge difference to Jon's career and life. I'm so glad.
@@sntjune sometimes it seems as one, sometimes not
Atleast fricking Grammy's should decide if it's not one or not
As much as I wanted sour to win, same, gotta respect it going to Jon Batiste- he's a great guy and made an totally unique album
@@lfior they added race as a criteria smh
Honestly he deserves the grammy for that speech alone. It wasn't my pick as I haven't heard it yet but I give him props and congratulations because music taste IS subjective. Every artist nominated has AOTY to me. 💛
❤❤❤❤
Wooo-hooo! So well deserved!
Sending a message… he takes the whole award show it was great. Album of the year tho… cmon now corrupt
It’s an awesome album, very good.
Well no better time to give it a listen! The video for Freedom I absolutely love, maybe being a native New Orleanian makes me partial but it just makes me smile every time, lots of great tunes on the album!
You can tell if someone is genuinely a good person just by the energy they give off. This guy is one of them.
When you listen to this young man you can't help but want to say: This young man was raised well.
This speech deserves a Grammy
Great symmetry to the Oscars......good vibes!!!!!
G DRAGON
IS KING
As much as I want some other nominees to win (since I’d never listened to his music), somehow I’m smiling throughout this whole clip. Definitely well deserved!
Watch him on Steven Colbert. He is always great.
He has that effect. Love this man.

Same
How the hell can you blindly aa well deserved when you do not even know the music.
I had no idea who he is until now.
I'm now listening to the album for the first time, and yes, now i understand why he won.
It's amazing.
He as probably most well know as The Band leader for Stephen Colbert, Jon Batiste and Stay Human ,Batiste named the band Stay Human, which draws its moniker from the belief that human interaction during a live musical performance can uplift humanity in the midst of the "plug in, tune out" nature of modern society. The band leads impromptu street performances, which Batiste calls "love riots".Notable artists were often seen accompanying Batiste, including Wynton Marsalis.
In 2011, Stay Human released the album MY N.Y., which was recorded in its entirety on New York City Subway trains, an idea that came to Batiste after questioning how to connect with people.
On April 22, 2017, the band played for the March for Science rally at the Washington Monument in Washington, D.C.
In 2014, Batiste and Stay Human appeared on The Colbert Report to perform the group's single "Express Yourself", written and produced with Austin Bis.
On June 4, 2015, it was announced that Jon Batiste and Stay Human would serve as house band on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. The show premiered on CBS on September 8, 2015. On the show, Batiste and Stay Human have performed alongside Billy Joel, Will Smith, Wynton Marsalis, John Legend, Grace VanderWaal, and Nas.
Jon Batiste is an American singer, songwriter, musician, bandleader, and television personality. He has recorded and performed with artists in various genres of music (Stevie Wonder, Prince, Willie Nelson, Lenny Kravitz, Ed Sheeran, Roy Hargrove, and Mavis Staples), released his own recordings, and performed in more than 40 countries. Batiste regularly tours with his band Stay Human, and appears with them nightly as bandleader and musical director on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert since 2015. Batiste also serves as the music director of The Atlantic and the Creative Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. In 2020, he co-composed the score for the Pixar animated film Soul, for which he received an Academy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a BAFTA Film Award (all shared with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross)
Batiste is a member of a New Orleans musical dynasty, the Batiste family, that includes Lionel Batiste of the Treme Brass Band, Milton Batiste of the Olympia Brass Band, and Russell Batiste Jr. At the age of 8, he played percussion and drums with his family's band, the Batiste Brothers Band. At the age of 11, he switched to piano at his mother's suggestion. Batiste developed his piano skills by taking classical music lessons and transcribing songs from video games such as Street Fighter Alpha, Final Fantasy VII and Sonic the Hedgehog.
At 17, Batiste released his debut album Times in New Orleans. He attended St. Augustine High School and New Orleans Center for Creative Arts with Trombone Shorty in New Orleans and graduated in 2004. He then went on to attend the Juilliard School, earning a Bachelor of Music and a Master of Music in jazz studies in 2008 and 2011, respectively. While at Juilliard, he released his second album, Live in New York: At the Rubin Museum of Art. By the end of 2006, Batiste had been a featured performer in South Africa, London, Lisbon, Spain, Paris and the United States.
In 2007, Batiste made his debut at the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam at the age of 20, producing and performing his own show. He conducted music clinics, classes and workshops throughout the Netherlands in inner-city schools and underprivileged neighborhoods. He was invited to Carnegie Hall to produce and perform in his own show with six young musicians from the Netherlands. The performance concluded with a finale he composed for choir, jazz combo and orchestral instruments. In the following years, Batiste released a number of music projects including Social Music which spent over a month at the top of the Billboard and iTunes jazz charts; The Late Show EP (2016) with Stay Human; and a holiday album Christmas with Jon Batiste (2016). In 2017, he released the singles "Ohio" with Leon Bridges and Gary Clark Jr. as well as "Battle Hymn of the Republic" for The Atlantic. Batiste's cover of "St. James Infirmary Blues" was nominated for a Grammy in 2019, in the category of Best American Roots Performance. Batiste's debut solo album Hollywood Africans was released by Verve Records in September 2018. "Don't Stop" served as the lead single. Leading up to the album release, he completed a Summer Festival tour across the U.S. with The Dap-Kings.
Batiste's notable career performances include a tribute to Chuck Berry and Fats Domino during the 60th annual Grammy Awards (performing alongside Gary Clark Jr.); the Kennedy Center Honors' tribute to Carmen De Lavallade; the Concert for Peace and Justice in Montgomery, Alabama; the National Anthem at the 2017 NBA All Star Game; and Opening Night of the 2017 US Open. He has curated the Global Citizen Advocacy Concert with Tom Morello and the Louis Armstrong Wonderful World Festival in Queens, N.Y.
Batiste was cast in the HBO television series Treme, appearing as himself in seasons 2, 3 and 4. He was also cast as T.K. Hazelton in director Spike Lee's film Red Hook Summer and composed and performed the Hammond B-3 organ music that was a part of the film score. Other film scores composed by Batiste include the television documentary Duke 91 & 92: Back to Back and the short film Melody of Choice. He also appears in the films Da Sweet Blood of Jesus by Spike Lee and Thrive by Paul Szynol.
It's speeches like this that will continue his awards; his reverence towards the artistry and craft resonate with all members of the industry. He's an amazing musician and an amazing soul.
I adore this young man who is so humble, devout and a loving soul! He is a creative artist and a genius musician, vocalist and talent. He is so deserving. Yay Jon!
MA from #Julliard.
He is the first black artist who wins this category since 2008
😳 you must be kidding me 😭😭
Shiaaaat 😔🤯🥵
Well Im listening Jon for quite a while and uuuu he is smokey 😶🌫️
Yeah. To Pimp a Butterfly should have definitely won but they gave it to 1989 unfairly. Same goes to Lemonade vs 25. It should have gone to Lemonade. Those were the days of white privilege. Luckily this year is different after outrages about the discrimination against black artists.
“ And the AWARD for the best, most sincere acceptance speech GOES TO…”
When real musicians win it's a beautiful thing.
At first i thought grammys were rigged and when i saw this i thought to myself that it is 100% true THAT THE GRAMMYS ARE FKN RIGGED
I’ve never fallen in love with someone’s energy before. But, somehow I head over heels for this man and his bright and authentic energy!!
YES! Me too! I LOVE Jon's Authenticity and Energy!!
Watch his "piano 1 oh FUN" videos on Colbert's youtube channel he made before he left, they are so fun :). (Also the music videos from "We Are" are great too)
Man is a shining beacon of joy and positivity.
I love when the Grammy goes to quality over commercial success!! Such an amazing album.
I love how he acknowledges his fellow nominees. Rarely have I heard an artist capture the essence of creativity so beautifully. This is a man who understands that art is about connection & enlightenment. Congrats, Jon.
This was a genuine and touching acceptance speech!! Love the quote...“This is for all the real artists, real musicians…”
Congratulations Jon Batiste!!
I’m gonna listen to his album, what a beautiful soul. This years AOTY was stacked with great albums. Jon should be proud
I got it ! Unbelievable. All his fellow nominees’s projects were pretty good but WE ARE is a fucking masterpiece ! A genre-less album which swims trough R&B, Pop, soul, jazz, disco, rock, roots, hip-hop, blues and lead you to infinity and beyond. A festival of sounds that jostle in our ears to form this beautiful and beautiful thing... art in all its splendor. Kind of album which comes once in a decade. Absolutely deserved 💔💔🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great description! A real modern artist. Reminding of the scale at which Ornette Colman was projecting music towards the end of his career
Truuuuuuuu
It’s not evermore. The lyrical genius behind evermore was incredible.
Yes! It IS indeed a masterpiece !! 🙂💛
What a beautiful summation of the man and his work. Nice one.

"The creative arts are subjective and they reach people at a point in their lives when they need it most. It's like a song or an album is made and it almost has a radar to find the person when they need it the most."
He's a ray of light and really authentic. There's no acting, what you see is what you get. A great underrated album (only 46ed in the US album charts). 👏👏👏👏👏
Hoping all the folks who haven't heard of Jon Batiste go check him out -- he's a brilliant musician and a beautiful soul!
Just listened to his album, it’s absolutely brilliant.
He's fabulous.
He’s God centered. ❤️❤️❤️
That’s the protégé of Wynton Marsalis you’re talking about
Will do.
The album is timeless and will be remembered for much longer than any popular hit.. WE ARE is a MASTERPIECE.
Jon batiste deserves so much respect. We Are will definitely be my funeral song lol
Lil Nas X montero deserved it more.
May this award remind us that "numbers" do not define talent, art or an artist at a time when everyone wants to be famous. this boy sounds like the glory days he has a flow that is needed not something so demonized for the ears!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
So true could not have said it better
When he said I love you even if I don't know you, I actually believed him. Love you too, Jon Batiste! ❤️
There are definitely some I would've preferred to win this one, but I'm not gonna complain. This is a really big moment for Jon Batiste, the Grammys, and for black people. This is the first black artist to win album of the year since 2008.
Wow, I had no idea! Thanks for the stat.
He is gonna sweep egot (tony and Emmy next )
Especially since his new wife is struggling with leukemia. God bless him.
Was this award genuine or pitty?
@@luisalejandroreyes6869 If people only won awards for their skin colour, then there wouldn't have been a 14 year gap between black artists winning AOTY. Your logic is not adding up. Take your ignorance elsewhere
Bless his heart, a great talent, his message on point while enduring such a tough private time with his very sick wife❤❤❤
Is she the one he kissed on stage during his Freedom performance last night? 🤔
@@theofficefairy I wonder too who was that person he kissed, his wife was not there, she's battling leukemia for the second time💔
I love this man. He is transcendent. Pure music. Pure spirit. Pure joy. 100% deserved this win. Bless him and his beautiful wife.
On top of everything else I admire about this Man, the way he just cracks himself up and rears his head back in laughter just brings pure joy! No pretense with this Legend!
One of the best acceptance speech I've heard
Funny how much more mature the people on here are than the people on Twitter calling an album they’ve never listened to terrible.
Tip: Delete Twitter. It's a cesspool. It's an app where nobody knows when or how to shut up.
He is the only one who made me cry, We are the winners for having him in our life.
Congrats Mr Batiste, Well deserve.
I can't stop playing "Freedom"
Haven't heard "We Are" yet!
Looking forward to hearing this one!
Congratulations, Jon Batiste!
Your music, your beautiful FAMILY, the children's Fleur de Lyse drums!!!
Your Choreography, have reached me when I needed it the most!.💙🙏💛
Oooh, listen to at least two versions of the song, "WE ARE". There's one With the St Augustine marching band and there is one with Abi Bernadoth singing in French. Yeah!!!
Finally finally finally!!! For too many years Jon was one of the most underrated artists, love him on the Late Show (with Stephen Colbert), love him as a musician, singer and artist! Well done Jon!!! And don't forget, Jon was one of the three Oscar winners for Soul in 2021!
@@reya346 Hope he'll stay at the Late Show, but I'm afraid he'll leave...
Definitely deserved it if you are basing it off of quality in production to the sound overall. Glad he got acknowledged for his hard work 🤞🏽
@AnkleTutorial there was no chance in the world Kanye would win with this mess (I am talking about both his personality and album)
@AnkleTutorial well guess u didn’t hear he was canr win bc of the shi he did
Happier Than Ever also had amazing production too tho but I guess Grammys likes it to keep it classic this year
@AnkleTutorial album full of filler songs
@AnkleTutorial Listened to both. Batiste is a true musical genius. Very well deserved.
There has never been a more deserving artist. He is just a musician to the core and seeing him win is true beauty.
He’s a great SPIRIT walking among us! If more humans were like this, the world would be a much better place. 🙏
May not have been the most popular choice but I’m very happy for him. Well deserved!
The Grammys isnt a popularity contest

Congratulations to our native-born son of N'awlins!! So happy for Jon and his wife for this special moment.
Right! Doesn’t it give you goosebumps? Finally a New Orleans musician recognized for the talent that oozes from our city! New Orleans is proud, St Aug is proud, NOCCA is proud, the whole Batiste clan is proud, his wife, etc etc etc! So happy for him!
I was hoping he would win this one. It’s so deserved. The album is fantastic. Jon is incredibly talented, and he is such a kind soul. Also, Jon and his wife deserve all the light in their datkness, as she’s struggling with leukemia for the second time.
I heard the album and it’s good I also wonder now that he won that category do all those people in the credits win a Grammy also since the helped make it?
@@MarcusMartn yes! they do!
G DRAGON KING ,
No Lil Nas X deserved it more.
Loved his acceptance speech, so genuine! His message reminds me of the love of music that Prince had. Not that they are similar artists but the love of their craft.
Jon’s just looking like “Lenny didn’t just say my name did he?” then Billie just pulls him in for a hug
lmao at people calling a man who's been on network tv five nights a week for 7 years and who won an Oscar for his work on a Pixar film "unknown"
@@nah....6151 Exactly. And he stays out of the gossip and scandal social media world.
He seems so genuine and so sweet. So happy for him! Well deserved❤️❤️
Quality of music beats quantity of fans.
Congrats Jon Batiste!!
WE ARE.....PROUD!!
👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️ This made me cry. He is such a special person. Gifted beyond belief but humble and so full of joy.
My wife said (after viewing his acceptance speech) “he makes my soul happy!”
Class act. Artists feed our souls when we need it. True Dat! Spreading love and we need it.
I'm a swiftie and many congratulations to Jon, I listened to his album after the nominees were announced and I must say that he well deserved this award. This album mixes many musical genres, it's varied, it has a social message, it's perfect.
We Are the album of the year at the 64th annual grammy awards
Jon is a shinning light in a broken world. Pure Magic
This man is a genius musician, a husband walking by his wife thru horrible cancer, a joyful spirit and all round great human
I’ve been telling everybody I know about Jon Batiste’s record We Are since it came out. I’m so happy that Jon is getting the recognition he deserves for this incredible music!
He is so adorable and talented
He’s just so humble. It’s so refreshing
Not these comments with the half-assed congratulations. 💔 Just because your fav didn't win or because you didn't know Jon before this win, doesn't mean he is any less deserving of the award. Just say congratulations and nothing more.
Also, go listen to Jon Batiste's music! 🎧💛
“Tell it like it is!”
Honestly some are so ignorant/mean....I'm very happy for him.
It’s about time this talented man is getting the recognition he deserves. He’s been performing since he was 8 years old and releasing albums since he was 17. At 35, he’s finally hitting the mainstream although it probably won’t help him get airplay. Radio program directors are too focused on kids and I’m sure many never even heard of Batiste before this year. Shameful! “WE ARE” is a record of life and celebration and critically acclaimed. This time the Grammy voters got it right!
I have, along with the other members of his family that play because they’re from Kenner, Louisiana, suburb of New Orleans & I live here.
Jon Batiste just showed us his pure, kind heart and soul. He also nailed exactly what music means to people. It is such an incredible gift - both to be able to make it, but also to receive it.
He has a beautiful heart. Great speech. Humble soul. I'm glad he won that award.
As soon as they have announced the nominations i already knew that this award was his for the talking.
Did u really tho?
@@gameflymc3374 well its easy to guess when you are aware that he is the most nominated artist of the year for grammys.
He’s such a joy. Congratulations, Jon!
It’s about fucking time, he’s the most talented musician in that list of nominees actually somewhat of a good friend so proud of him.
Finally it happened. One of my favourite artist won. Usually I do not know them or I do not listen to them. But this is huge. Congratulations Jon Batiste, you deserve this so much.
perfect message.period.i am flabbergasted.
I never heard his music but I can tell that he deserves it! Congratulations 🎉 i will check his music!
Wtf?

Give it a go, he has an immense range of style, he is humble, thoughtful and comes from a very large musical family in NewOrleans. I’m beaming with pride that finally one of our own has been recognized! New Orleans is filled with wonderfully talented musicians that fly way under the radar. This couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy! Love Jon Batiste!
@@shaneclower what he said about music reaching you when you need it is so true
same
I loved this so much. This is a genuine and real musician right here! You can tell just by watching him perform. He is a vessel of which creativity, genius, and authenticity flows through. Congrats to this man right here!
This brought tears to my eyes of joy he is just pure and simple love… like a magical heart whisperer in the wind …..
Wow. I've never heard this album so I thought it was a definite win for Billie or Olivia. I'm definitely going to have to listen to it now.
Billie’s happier than ever is one of the best of all time
@@Judexxxxxjjjjj ur a Billie fan so ur biased
@@Judexxxxxjjjjj fck that album and wwafawrdgaf
@@nicorzp it actually is, none of the albums has no skips. It’s so good. It’s the best album and it’s a shame it didn’t win
@@nicorzp as a jon fan I felt that billies album should of won. Jon’s album was put so much thought into i couldn’t pick who deserved more. Billies lyrics and production was just as amazing. They both deserve a tie.
Jon is tuely beautiful. I was grinning ear to ear watch him have a great night :) I will say this on behalf of the Late Night viewers We Are proud of you.
As we are here in Louisiana were he’s from!!
So happy for him. 🥺❤️
After so many freaking disappointing year,. The Recording Academy finally got one right: A REAL ARTIST WINNING THE BIGGEST AWARD OF THE NIGHT
A masterpiece album by a musically talented and genius artist. Congratulations Jon Batiste! Very well deserved win.
All that and also one of the nicest people on the planet. Well done.
‘We Are’ is such a lovely, groovable, powerful album ✨Jon Batiste is the TRUTH
He's so adorable he didn't even believe it at the first place 😭
This wholesome. He is music and he is love and I love how it radiates off of him before his words even leave his mouth. What an Idol
Jon is a class act. He mentioned that the acts are a group effort indicating that there is room for all of them.
Jon Batiste seems to be such a nice young man. I love how his speech encompassed all. He understands that art is subjective and is very humble in winning the award. May God always bless him.
No wonder his band is called stay human- what a beautiful human being. “I love you even if I don’t know you!” Can you imagine if we all lived out those words. Oh and BTW he’s a musical genius.
“Batiste named the band Stay Human, which draws its moniker from the belief that human interaction during a live musical performance can uplift humanity in the midst of the "plug in, tune out" nature of modern society. The band leads impromptu street performances, which Batiste calls "love riots".”
*Congratulations* YOU DESERVED THAT 🙌🏻
I can watch this over & over. You can feel how excited the room is for Jon. Jon Batiste doesn’t just make you love music, he makes you love life.
'Joy' personified. Is the best way I can describe him. Such a talented and incredible human being.
Kinda sad that Evermore didn’t win but this guy really deserve it congratulations 👏🏻
