Beliebers React to Best New Artist Loss on Twitter

By Elizabeth Yun Posted Feb 14th 2011 02:26PM

While many were simply wondering "Esperanza who?" when the jazz singer won the Best New Artist award at last night's Grammys, Justin Bieber fans were nothing short of outraged. And they took to their favorite Internet megaphone to vent their Bieber frustration.

Bieber nation blew up Twitter as soon as Esperanza Spalding's name was announced instead of the Biebs' (or even, gasp, Drake), running the gamut of emotions (in 140 characters or less, of course) from anger and sadness to downright cattiness at the unsuspecting Spalding. Others took it a step further, attacking Spalding's Wikipedia page and teaching her that Bieber Fever has many of the same symptoms as Sore Loser.

Many fans simply expressed their concern for their beloved pop star, no doubt hoping to curry favor from him and possibly even get his attention.

Others wisely warned of the fallout from angry Bieber fans.

Some just vented their utter rage at the snub.

But the resounding theme seemed to be ensuring that Spalding couldn't bask in the glory of her win. Bieber fans directed the majority of their ire at the 26-year-old jazz singer, seemingly unaware that members of the Recording Academy picked the winner. No wild conspiracy here.

We hope Spalding is ignoring the Internet today and instead, celebrating her victory. Meanwhile, Bieber admitted his disappointment, but said he was "happy for her also." Clearly his fans don't share the sentiment.

Maybe now everyone can stop talking about him, stop writing about him, stop showing on every freakin TV report show. We didnt watch the show just because we could not stomach seeing him again.

By Frankling

Bieber deserved that award as much as the Monkees or Milli Vanilli!

Bleeber is a LOSER and all of you immature little ninnies know it. Justine can't sing, because there are too many things down his throat that he enjoys besides music.

Jusine sux and bleebers suck too.

By Terry

Hey Bob the wimp, I question why a 43 year old man would have Bieber fever? Sounds like it is more than the music you like.

I hate it when children make statements of "the entire world wants bieber to win". Are todays youth really this stupid to make such statements?? Do these kids know how the grammy's works and its not based on popularity, hair and facebook/twitter dominance? My god if that were true can you imagine the people who would walk away with grammy's? Also by the sheer fact these people have attacked the woman who won just shows what losers they are. He lost. Get over it. No amount of whining, b*tching and name calling is going to change that. I cant even figure out why he was even nominated. Lots of artist work damn hard, that doesnt entitle you to a Grammy. Funny thing is all these Bieber fans claim he was robbed and everyone wanted him to win but every SINGLE article I have read, the blogs have all be in SUPPORT of the woman who won. The best artist won and I think thats what pisses these little girls because they know its true. I cant wait for these children to stop bombarding us with stupidity.

well said,thank you.

Kudo's to you and well said. I am a member of the world and I didn't want him to win. He is an in-our-face, manuafactured pop-star nothing more. There is real genuine talent out there, and the young lady that won is proof of that. Congrats to her!

By drumbodave

YAAY, some sense at last! it is the BEST new artist award... JBieb is definitely g u d, average dance moves, hooked up with usher, but he is WHITE nontheless...The winner was the winner, and has the best talent and art form among the new artistn nominees...
get over it you pimply faced fans, with too much time on your hands, perhaps you should listed to the winner's songs/recordings, and gain a little culture....

By Puppie

Maybe if the kid had more than just ONE hit he'd get the award.
As he is...he's a one-hit-wonder....period.
I'm sick of hearing him sing that same damn song!

By DTgringo

I know very little about this kid, but you are wrong. He has had 6 singles that charted in the top 40 (US) thus he has had six hits. I haven't heard one of them, but if you're gonna knock the kid at least be factual about it.

By MO

Hey Justin, go pound sand up your ying yang. You are not nearly as good as you or other people think you are. Just a teeny-bopper with an over-sized ego. Oh by the way, I don't like your songs or your singing.
