[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why didn't she win the prize?  His cover sounds very much like her version.  Seems like she should have won.  Doesn't seem fair. Yes, at least she gets some money, but her name isn't on the prize.  I feel like it would be similar to a situation where I did all of the work for a project, and a colleague took all of the credit and everyone knew it and they patted me on the head.  [/quote]
She did win a prize - Song of the Year which is the songwriting prize. Similar to how the Grammys have Song of the Year for the songwriter(s) and Record of the Year for the performer(s), the CMAs have Song of the Year and Single of the Year. Chapman was nominated for Grammys in both those categories BITD and won the CMA award last night - Combs also won but for the different award.[/quote]
Did she attend to accept the award?[/quote]
No but this is the statement she sent:
“I’m sorry I couldn’t join you all tonight. It’s truly an honor for my song to be newly recognized after 35 years of its debut. Wow. Thank you to the CMAs and a special thanks to Luke (Combs) and to all of the fans of ‘Fast Car.’” [/quote]
