Okay, I really like her music, but shouldn't best new artist go to the nominee who made the most record sales? Well, anyway, Esperanza won, over the likes of Drake and Justin Bieber. People like Kim Kardashian and Selena Gomez know that anyone that messes with Justin Bieber will get it! So online, her wikipedia page was defaced by Bieber fans across the globe.

Here are a few Excerpts from some entertainment/music articles:
"There were surely plenty of jaws dropping and Biebophiles going insane last night as the GRAMMY award for Best New Artist went to the thoroughly unfamiliar Esperanza Spalding. Spalding nabbed the award in a category that also included Justin Bieber, Mumford and Sons, Florence + The Machine, and Drake.
But the question everyone wants to know is, who IS Esperanza Spalding and how did she walk away with this award? "
- "Who is this GRAMMY Best New Artist Esperanza Spalding?" by The Webguy (www.923now.radio.com)
"Beware the wrath of a Justin Bieber fan scorned. After the 16-year-old phenom — and, for that matter, Drake, Florence and the Machine and Mumford & Sons — lost the Best New Artist award to Esperanza Spalding at the Grammys on Sunday, the little-known jazz singer/bassist found herself a target of the Beliebers.
Spalding's Wikipedia page was attacked following her Grammy win, as random facts, misstatements and taunts were added to the site and then quickly removed. After a sentence noting her victory, for example, a user added the statement, "Justin Bieber deserved it go die in a hole. Who the heck are you anyway?"
In other places, the musician's middle name was changed to both "Justin" and "Quesadilla" and her Grammy win was written up with the addendum, "Even though no one has ever heard of her! Yay!" At the end of her biography, one user wrote, "Biber 4 Lyfe." "
