[@channalbert]

Pianist: *plays piano so Jacob leaves* Jacob's brain: *Em11(b5)*

[@BrunoNeureiter]

To me it sounded like a lack of respect

[@shutupdoit7272]

😂😂😂 most hilarious comment I've read in quite some time!!

[@hanger9083]

@@BrunoNeureiter yeah it was an odd choice for a closing chord, seemed a bit salty didn't it

[@sasufreqchann]

Everyone clapping : Also Jacobs brain : harmonization predictions complete. Proceed to harmoni.... Oh we are on stage . Abort !

[@channalbert]

@@sasufreqchann hahahah yes! Jacob: *wins for the second time in a row* Everyone clapping again: Jacob's brain: New challenge presented. Odd time signature. Identifying polyrhythm. Proceeding to subdiv... Back on stage. Stop.

[@drumcircler]

Sound like the audience never heard of Jacob. Poor audience, their loss.

[@JoseVazquezEd]

I love how the announcers were pretty shocked, and stumbled in pronouncing his name. Nobody is paying attention to Jacob but he's everywhere!

[@ProFriend]

At that time, the mainstream music industry had no real idea of who Jacob was. I'm pretty sure they're all starting to take notice now. The jazz greats sure have!

[@JulienNeel]

This guy is brilliant & humble. What a winning combo.

[@alexanderkorte-stapff6824]

brilliant yes, humble is debateable haha. He's praising himself for getting a Grammy on his first album at age 21... Which is fine with me btw.

[@maximalist5038]

Psychedelta Blues humble is good but if I do something as amazing as that, I will strut a little

[@pierreandrewt1347]

totally agree, not very humble but super talented

[@lucienfournier0]

Mr T in fairness, if I was that great, I feel like it’s kind of backed up. however, he’s extremely humble in a lot of other circumstances

[@RainbowSunshineRain]

I red it as being grateful for receiving the award so young; not boasting.

[@geoffstockton]

I can't think of any artist this young more deserving of the accolades. Hell, I can't honestly think of anybody in general more deserving.

[@tableham]

Geoff Stockton I was stoked when I saw Sammy nestico on that list but DAYUM JACOB DESERVED IT. he's absolutely brilliant

[@TrollsAndScrolls]

almost nobody cheered when they read "Jacob Collier"

[@OliviaAkolo]

lmao right I was so sad, but he still kicked ass

[@StachelyPigglyBottom]

I am never distracted when he speaks.

[@ploopybear]

but he is. :P

[@jackaguirre8576]

I'm distracted but thats probably my undiagnosed ADD

[@uraharamitchell7250]

I can't remember the last time I've seen somebody RUN to get an award. Jacob is just... *sighs* There's no part of him I don't love

[@cdricalfonsi]

Simon Mitchell Bjork running into Alexander mcqueen arms receiving her awards was also iconic

[@yudhirgautam1645]

Bjork!!!! She runsss like all beast

[@Momo-cu7xl]

888th like

[@abotrehpatience6059]

Lovely a creator he is

[@ItzTheFury]

Gives those speeches like a pro! Holy shit.

[@adrian5b]

he's throwing names like Quincy Jones and Stevie Wonder at the age of 22 as if it's no biggie hahahah

[@tehxperience]

why on earth didnt they play the arrangement he won for when he walked up lmao

[@yaboibobby7776]

their sound system probably couldn't handle Jacob's music

[@AuntieClimaxx]

The orchestra didn't have the non-existant notes on their instruments

[@TheHannahHARLEQUIN]

I mean... he's not wrong haha I've never heard someone so young speak so eloquently and justly about where the music industry needs to go. He is much more deserving of this award than he can imagine and just his talent and presence is everything he's ever going to need. Part of me hopes he's noticed by the mainstream music industry after this and taken to new heights, but another part of me hopes he stays precious and innocent and ever so true to himself in this little pocket of the world. He is an inspiration and a need in this world. Well done, Jacob!!

[@metashrew]

0:31 I love how gracefully he went and got on stage.

[@nezkeys79]

"I think we need to create right now in the music industry" (summed up) couldn't be more true

[@ThePaoOfTooh]

nezkeys79 - seems kind of obvious though doesn't it? Creating being a good thing?

[@helenaveiga46]

That man is helping us to get good music back to the industry

[@cskillet2003]

They seriously started playing the "wrap up the speech" music for him?!

[@lucienfournier0]

cskillet2003 I know right?

[@epw0031]

I know. I felt the embarrassment for him when I noticed that. That was bogus as hell. He probably knew exactly what chord that was.

[@sebastianolivares6282]

21st Century Mozart.

[@sebastianolivares6282]

u think he's autistic? no way... both his parents were violinists and directors, his musical education is insane

[@sebastianolivares6282]

what? xD

[@paulflute]

let's hope he lives a bit longer.. ;9)

[@rafaelmarchanteangulo4582]

You do sound like a bitter Salliery...

[@Ketchermusic]

Nobody cares about your words man. Snobby little thing.

[@uraharamitchell7250]

It's almost like he KNEW he was gonna win...

[@rathork]

When you're nominated and invited as a potential winner to an award like the Grammys, you won't go there without any preparation just in case you might actually win. I think we can clearly see the difference between the first and the second speech. The first one was prepared, the second one was obviously spontaneous and unexpected. :) I find it quite sympathetic and genuine. :)

[@subscribetobanbasstabs2599]

rathork i agree i feel like he wasnt expecting to win for the flintstones but he was really nervous for you and I

[@DeanoPiano]

Well deserved, multi instrumentalist and a knowledge of music theory and harmony vastly superior to nearly all charted artist these days and that have been in the past 30 years, it just goes to show how basic minded the music industry has become over the decades, to many fame seekers and money generators, not many have the desire to put the hard work in to create something beautiful and actually be talented and to take something away from that journey in this day and age, well done.

[@AndyChamberlainMusic]

I mean Mozart was doing it 9 years earlier but he didn't have to deal with a crappy obligatory school system so I'll give it to Collier haha

[@jacobiwang9133]

Andy Chamberlain Music mozart didnt understand harmony like Jacob does

[@BenjaminKuruga]

He had to deal with the Church though.

[@budomushin]

He didn't play twelve million other instruments either

[@mjcoogan1]

The accepted rules of harmony at the time of Mozart was MUCH different than today's.

[@adamboof6769]

Andy Chamberlain Music all credit to mozart lol, but jacob is absolutely exceptional in many musical ways. Mozart however innovated everything, but i bet collier will also eventually change a lot. Jacob is easily the most talented musician right now.

[@wizardcoolio]

imagine winning two Grammys back to back and still being this humble

[@rymixxx]

Legend already - plus he knew he was going to win as he had his Fred Flintstone shirt on :)

[@temhihi6187]

There is no reason why he will not receive this award.

[@bigstunna2049]

I love how he won twice in a row so they had to call him back

[@NC17z]

YAY! Jacob, and thank you Quincy for keeping your eye on the pulse of modern music and creativity.

[@ErickArchViz]

Just waiting to his speech in 2020...

[@catherineluk2414]

this aged well 😌

[@ErickArchViz]

@@catherineluk2414 i literally forgot about this comment, damn, thats crazy lol

[@aanyasharma1781]

I loved it when he said that if we are encouraged to invest in our imaginations, we'll do nothing wrong. That statement to me is so powerful

[@faysam60]

Well deserved...he is a genius and blessed with a singular talent.

[@kichoulasThump]

Fay Samuel he is a wonderful singular and instrumentalizer

[@moldefan3544]

Slash vocalizer. B-)

[@adisatrio3871]

I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM BUT MY TEARS DOWN MY EYES AND MY HEART FILLED WITH PROUD AND JOY TO SEE HIM STANDING THERE, TWICE. GBU JACOB. THANK YOU FOR BEING EXIST AND BEING YOU.

[@metacob]

Turns out that wasn't a one-time award, that was an award subscription!

[@PhilipThrosselMusic]

I love that "For King and Country" gave out the award. That's awesome :)

[@okedstarable]

I knew they looked familiar. Thanks!

[@luableah7615]

ikr

[@SamanthaAdalia]

Same here!! Hope they collab >_

[@tatedottech]

this man is a legend already. I've been a fan for years and CAN NOT WAIT to see what he does in the future. Dare I say, I hope to work with him some day in some capacity. He's absolutely brilliant.

[@Polybrow]

love my man Jape "Jacob" Collier

[@greateralexander]

Absolute. Jacob Collier is such an inspiration.

[@blcksheepMUSIC101]

Imagine how the other nominees must've felt losing to "Flintstones".

[@robdietrich1689]

haha he should have started harmonizing with the "finish up your speech" music, would have been legendary! #IHarmU

[@khesyamaraon478]

His voice. 🤧😍😍😍😍

[@hufflepuffxxxx]

He speaks in such a well put manner I fall in love with him every single time I swear

[@themuffinman751]

Congrats Jacob! You totally, totally deserved it!

[@fotuoflordsafioae9299]

even 2020 he still runs to get his award

[@hunterrogersmusic]

He really does deserve everything, he is just absolutely fantastic. Has set the bar right back up to where every musician should be aiming for.

[@israelgoytom6085]

He is So Humble!

[@dennispflores3617]

The boy is a legend!! His musical brain is far out...no one is ever like him...👍❤💥👏

[@piano_montilla8155]

Amazing, I love his way of thinking. He's so right. We need more creative people, but not just creative people also people with more appreciation to what creative people do.

[@drivensw1]

yaaaaaasssssss so happy! hes so deserving!

[@chitrumbo112]

Bonkers!! Back 2 back even...lol!! You're a genius J, and I can't wait to see what you'll do next.

[@sunsh1in3]

I simply love him. Hes so genuine and inspiring

[@olig7979]

What a great speech, and such a calm demeanour as well. I would be shitting myself up there, but he just runs up

[@CoriElle]

❤️❤️the best👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@aomai3016]

I love how they brought him back out 😂 Absolutely love Jacob! Well deserved and extremely talented. He’s such an amazing person.

[@kevinchen1339]

I love the way he runs it’s like he’s about to take off and just fly through the roof

[@corazonbeso]

No wonder why I didn't see him. This was pre-telecast lol. 2 Grammys! Fantastic!

[@notgoingtokillyou_]

This boy won two more Grammys this year and honestly he deserves it

[@RayAndre]

Incredible! I love this.

[@kevinchen1339]

“People don’t need lots of expensive equipment.” Look around you Jacob you have like a million instruments

[@Sora-o]

So...?

[@calchip]

He also composes and performs using lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, water glasses, rocks, and nearly any other object one can find...and a cheap laptop is under $300 where 30 years ago recording equipment was in the tens of thousands of dollars so... I think one can safely say that his point is valid.

[@raphael056]

calchip he does have a high quality audio recorder. But he is right about people do not need the best tools to sound good.

[@krzysztofratajski2806]

He also Have a computer Worth 30.000 dollars.... So. I would like to mix more tracks and complex multi video. My computer wouldn't handle it. Or make use of more instruments. But nevertheless the idea os what matter most

[@nicolasmith1460]

He’s clearly saying it doesn’t have to start that way.... he didn’t start that way .... he was lucky to me in a conducive family environment but ... they are not wealthy family ... and it was a single parent family

[@Dom_Hubsub]

Class act.

[@grantwallace1882]

What an AWESOME young man!!!!!!!

[@Yaboroqe]

Congratulations!

[@ortsac7466]

He was born adult and professional. What a genius!

[@mytubeworldmayhem]

ok Grammys, u lived up to my expectations, so congratulations grammys

[@drphot6050]

That boy good!

[@ANDREINATEX]

he deserves 10000000000 grammys!!

Great Jacob!

[@sowax3871]

Why are the mic stands so short ????

[@MrWolv23]

Probably so it makes them look more humble, bending slightly down

[@ceciliaj3300]

You are a very eloquent speaker.
