::esperanza spalding::

for those who watched grammy awards 2011 wud know some of the debates going on about the winner of the best new artiste going to esperanza spalding instead of justin bieber, the public's favourite.. i too was one of those who went 'wha? who? who's tat???'.. my fave radio show also had a topic about this lately and debated that justin bieber shud win instead of ms esperanza.. but, while the discussion/topic was going on, i was actually thinking, who is she.. she must hve been great for her to win kut.. gotta google her soon.. 

i did, today.. and was blown away by her.. her voice.. her music.. i love to layan jazz songs from time to time.. i think u guys wud know seeing the songs that i've shared here kan.. and when i youtubed esperanza spalding, i fell in love.. and now i know why she won.. so to the super talented esperanza spalding, congratulations to you!! i personally think u deserve it too.. those who opposed yr winning, well, they just dont appreciate music like yours.. different cup of tea, different taste hence difference of opinions kan.. tats life.. c'est la vie.. ^_^

so.. wanna get to know her? well here she is.. this song is called precious.. enjoy.. ^_~

esperanza spalding - precious
.....

Love me or leave me
But please
Don't deceive me
And say you
Love me how I am
You love the way
I fit some ideal
Not the real woman
You've yet to understand
See love ain't all heaven
And I am no angel
But I do the best I can

You always wanted
Something more from my body
And said you needed
Something more from my loving
But all you got was me
And that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down

Now it's no nice excuse
But all the magic was used
Up on trying to uphold
Some kind of tame
Flattering persona
That soon enough
Was getting real old
It takes more than pressure
To change rock to diamond
Now all you have is sand
Slipping through your fingers

You always wanted
Something more from my body
And said you needed
Something more from my loving
But all you got was me
And that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down

But I'm not gonna sit around
And waste
My precious divine energy
Trying to explain
And being ashamed of things
You think are wrong with me
I'm not gonna sit around
And waste
My precious divine energy
Trying to explain
And being ashamed
Of what you think
Is wrong with me

Set you up
You say I set you up
Like I was different
Than what I am
Offering you now
And drug your heart around
Did you forget about
All of the love
And the acceptance
That you promised me too?

You always wanted
Something more from my body
And said you needed
Something more from my loving
But all you got was me
And that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down
You always wanted
Something more from my body
And said you needed
Something more from my loving
But all you got was me
And that's all that I can be
I'm sorry if it let you down
But I'm not gonna sit around

And waste
My precious divine energy
Trying to explain
And being ashamed of things
You think are wrong with me
Me, I'm not gonna sit around
And waste
My precious divine energy
Trying to explain
And being ashamed
Of what you think is wrong
With melt let you down
