17 year old New Zealander wins

[Fern]

Congrats all round to the born & bred Auckland singer 'Lorde' who has won two Grammys for song of the year and for best pop solo performance.
Lorde won song of the year for Royals, which she performed a stripped-down version of as the second act of the 56th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles today.
Royals co-producer Joel Little described the song of the year win as "intense", and said it was a "complete honour".

Congrats NZ

I am so embarrassed to say tho I've heard her name, I'm not familiar with her music. I'm a huge Adele fan, anything at all like her?

 

[Diwundrin]

Don't be embarrassed Katy, I'd never heard of her at all and I live 'next door' to NZ.

But onyas Fern.

 

[rkunsaw]

Never heard of her either... or Adele???

 

[Vivjen]

Adele is great, Rkunsaw...and she can sing?
did you see Skyfall?

She sang the theme song.

 

[Jillaroo]

Love her song Royals and play it quite often, congrats to her

 

[Diwundrin]

I need to get out more.

Or it could be because I don't listen to music radio or sumthin'... or, no, just need to get out more.

Same here Di..stuck in the '80's and before..I need to explore more there must be something I'd like.

Because I love all kinds of music and am especially interested in what the talented young people are creating am well acquainted with Lorde. Ella Yelich-O'Connor is a fantastic and brilliant young woman who has been recording for many years. Very mature and wise beyond her years and, yet, still a teenager in spirit. I love her.

 

[Fern]

Yes, she conducts herself with a lot of maturity. Great to see.

So much better than that Canadian putz we've been discussing and who shall remain nameless at the moment and hopefully forever . . .

 

[Jillaroo]

I agree with you TG , she certainly shows a lot of maturity while the other idiot just digs himself in deeper and deeper, and losing loads of fans as well.:tapfoot:

 

[Casper]

Yes, congrats to her for her winning not 1, but 2 Grammy Awards....... :applause:

We only listen to FM radio and it's on most of the day, so have heard her latest songs.
I'm not a real fan but think it's great that a young New Zealander like her has done so well.
:goodjob:

I like the line in her latest song on the radio, "I'm kind of over getting told to throw my hands up in the air, so there."
