      any song that does not fit the soul of an artist cannot prove that artist as being good or great.... sometimes , because the choice of the song is so bad that your first impression is the singer is not a singer at all!

      Do we really have to kill the moment with this nonsense comments? Do you even know what kind of ceremony this is? This the Nobel Price awards, not bankers meeting. People from around the world get an award for a fantastic contribution to humanity, a contribution like Bob Marley did... this song is well placed in this ceremony and you all should have more respect when talking about things that you don't understand. Sorry about the tone but one gets really angry when seing these kind of comments from people whos best contribution to humanity is spitting out garbage like these.
