New Article: Esperanza Spalding Wins 2011 Grammy For Best New Artist

Grammy Awards 2011 winner for Best New artist, Esperanza Spalding broke the Bieber Fever on Sunday night, turning the heat on herself.

The relatively unknown 26-year-old jazz bassist and singer, who tweeted, "what an amazing night!!!" after the show, ended up making Justin Bieber and his fans "upset."

Though Bieber put on a happy face during the ceremony, the "Baby" singer later tweeted his real feelings about losing to the music teacher from Portland, Ore.

"...of course I wanted to win," he tweeted. "Its been & still is a dream to win a grammy. Was I upset...yes.

Bieber said he was "happy" for Spalding, but that didn't appear to sate the 16-year-old pop star's fans.

Following her win, Spalding's Wikipedia page was reportedly attacked with random taunts and errors that were swiftly removed by someone from the website team, MTV.com reports.

"Justin Bieber deserved it go die in a hole," one person wrote. "Who the heck are you anyway?"

At the end of Spalding's biography, another hacker wrote "Biber 4 Lyfe," suggesting a team representing Bieber’s rabid fans were behind the stunt.

While Spalding's rep had no comment on the matter, the singer herself admitted she felt the award wasn't solely hers.

"I don't really think this is for me; it's for all of us," she told MTV.com after the Grammys. "And I wish they could all be here to put one finger on this with me."

Alongside Montreal band Arcade Fire, who won Album of the Year Sunday night, Spalding's win was one of the biggest surprises of the night.

A little known newcomer to the mainstream music industry, Spalding released her major-label debut, the self-titled "Esperanza," in 2008, which she recorded as an instructor at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, Mass., and that a writer in The New Yorker described as "jazz for the iPod age."

"While the music was indisputably jazz, it suggested an almost bewildering array of influences—fusion, funk, soul, R. & B., Brazilian samba and Cuban son, pop balladry, chanted vocalese—with lyrics sung in Spalding’s three languages, English, Portuguese, and Spanish," John Colapinto wrote.

The jazz musician has released two other albums besides "Esperanza": "Junjo" in 2006 "Chamber Music Society" last August.

A young music prodigy like her rival, Bieber, Spalding was concertmaster for the Chamber Music Society of Oregon at the tender age of 15. She has since performed with the likes of M. Ward, Noise for Pretend and Stanley Clarke.
