Justin Bieber was everyone's top pick to take home the Best New Artist award at the 53rd Grammys last night, and he admitted to MTV after the show that he was bummed about losing out to Esperanza Spalding.

"I had no clue what was going to happen; I worked really hard these past few years and you know, I'm not going to lie — I was disappointed," Bieber told MTV News backstage at the Staples Center. "But, you know, I'm gonna come back [next year] and we'll take a few home. I'm inspired to work harder than I did last year. It's going to be hard, but I'm going to try."
