They looked more happy because Prince said he loved his song

[@primary2630]

I would be too haha. Kimbra especially though apparently he was one of her top influences in music

[@JenniferBrigitteOpticalVortex]

Prince was ridiculously honest. If Prince loved your music, you wore that shit with a badge of honor.

It says a lot that not only did Prince publicly say he loved the song, you can see pretty much all the other nominees (especially Kelly and Frank) are absolutely delighted that Gotye and Kimbra won. The Grammys don't always get it right, but they nailed it here.

"Wayne's World" moment. "We're not worthy". They may not have said it, but they could have been thinking it. Wouldn't anyone?

True. Kelly was excited for them. Frank was like “I KNEW IT!” Love it. The song is a masterpiece.

I hated being somewhat famous...wasn't for me" or something to that effect. He said he still jams out with his buddies though!

[@water6301]

He didn't 'steel' , Sampling is Ok , he would've even won the Lawsuit because of only a short part resembling the brazillian singer ( can't get the name ). And Gotye released a statement that he just promised to pay 50% royalty of the song because he didn't want lawyers and courts , he wanted to pursue music. He is a great man .

[@Alan.livingston]

@@renanmateus9116 I think we might end up having to agree to disagree on this one. Artists having to clear samples end up as nothing but a mechanism for record companies to scunge yet more money out of everyone. Genre's like plunderphonics and hip hop are totally stifled by that sort thing. If an artists wants to cut a loop from a decades old song in a fair use kinda way then they should be able to without having to alert the original artist and have the original artists label come after them for royalties.

Kimbra is so beautiful we can all agree? Underrated stunner, I love her smile and accent.

Miss those days when the grammys were something More especial.

[@lol-ot4pn]

I miss it but I also feel like its better that we are moving away from prestige/classist lifestyle.

@@chasenroyal6938 I never said it doesnt. I just said its good that we are moving away from having that lifestyle on the forefront and everybody thinking thats the standard to reach.

[@gloppy101]

Kimbra is so genuine and grateful. She's enjoying a great career. Prince is icing on the cake.

[@lyssah3393]

I love this song it's epic I love the tune and the words make plenty of sense and the harmonies really nice so congratulations I didn't know they won a grammy how epic is that and Prince yes how epic is that too

[@heroicmedicine1]

If Prince said "I love this song" about my song I'd be paralyzed by the pressure and never make any more music too. I feel for you Gotye.

[@IsaacGiovanniBarreto]

I love how all the nominees are happy about them taking the award

[@tbrown9328]

it's crazy to me that he thinks he's unworthy of this award when it truly was the record(wtf is the different between this and a song???) of the year.... this song had me and everyone I know in a chokehold back in 2012!!! jfc I was just having a Gotye nostalgia moment a month ago with my bf lmao 10 years later and I'm still obsessed with how amazing the song and vocals are!!

I copied this from the Grammy’s website, “Simply put, Record Of The Year deals with a specific recording of a song and recognizes the artists, producers and engineers who contribute to that recording, while Song Of The Year deals with the composition of a song and recognizes the songwriters who wrote the song.”
