News. Yep, something gross about that intro? Not sure what
I love it. I have something that I would like
to bring to you. And I saw this via a
TikTok that my wife showed me of some guy was
going through the Best New Artist winners at the Grammys
over the last fifteen years and basically he was playing

(00:27):
the game of did it work out for them? Or
were they cursed? So I have got in front of
me nineteen seventy to twenty twenty four your Best New
Artist winners Wow of the Grammys. Wow. And we'll start
with Christina to give me a year, and then I
will list off your nominees and you'll try to get
the point. We'll just go back and forth.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Twenty eighteen is the year. Your nominees for Best New
Artists are Alicia Cattra, Khalid, Little Oozy Vert, Julia Michaels,
and Siza.

Speaker 2 (01:06):
I think okay, there's two that I'm thinking here based
on what you kind of just said. Did it work
out well for them? Probably not? Let's go Khalid.

Speaker 1 (01:17):
It was not Khalid. The winner was Alicia Carah.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
Okay, yeah, I've never.

Speaker 1 (01:21):
Good, try though, Christina, you did your best there, did
I skin Man.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
I believe Irene Kara passed away in the last couple
of years. Of course, so.

Good in the movie Fame, of course, Fame Well, one
of my favorites nineteen ninety nineteen ninety Nina Cherry, Indigo Girls,
Tone Log, Soul to Soul, and Milli Vanilli Milli Vanilli. Correct,

(01:50):
but also that has been revoked. Why they had it
taken away from them? Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:54):
Oh, I thought you meant my answer has been revoked.

Speaker 2 (01:58):
Yeah, you can have it taken away from.

Speaker 3 (01:59):
You because they found out that they didn't perform any
of that music. Oh, they were just guys in biker
shorts up there dancing. Let me just say that I
knew the answer to that before I said the name year,

music in nineteen ninety two?

M Yeah, but you know, I know, just the Grammys.
I'm just saying, you know you're dealing with Gray. I'm sorry, Christina,
Aguilera took home the crown in two thousand.

Speaker 3 (02:45):
Good for her, It's what a girl wants.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Actually, probably worked out of all those acts in terms
of staying power.

Speaker 3 (02:52):

he had also been performing for I don't know a
decade before he was nominated for Best New Artists.

is Skin's favorite Grammys characters watches every year just to see. No.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
I thought when I guess twenty twenty one, I thought
that was gonna be twenty twenty because I already knew,
because I was rooting so hard for the Black Pumas.
But then Billie Eilish one and my house was happy
because they all worship Billy Eilish. At my house, it's
the beIN and Skin Show ninety some point one the Eagle.

Speaker 1 (13:17):
It's sad and reminds you of going to school.

Speaker 3 (13:20):
But you got to think about what's happening in nineteen
eighty nine. First of all, when it came out, there
wasn't a black artist anywhere in the world that sounded
like that, so much so that when everyone saw the
video and goes, oh, it's a black girl, Like, nobody
sounded like that. That was African American. Yeah, and then
