Tonight's Grammy Awards had several great performances. The most anticipated was Adele, who was performing for the time since her throat surgery. She sounded great singing Rolling in the Deep, and was definitely Queen of the Grammys with her six wins, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year.
Nicki Minaj had a great, elaborate set with stained glass, priest, altar boys, choir, and being lifted in the air on cables. It was a fun performance of her new single, "Roman Holiday," and will probably generate some protests. She also showed up on the red carpet with a guy dressed as the Pope. We also spotted Ade and Kathyn from So You Think You Can Dance dancing backup for Nicki Minaj.
Of course Whitney Houston's death hovered over everything. Jennifer Hudson did a beautiful job singing "I Will Always Love You" as a tribute. Everyone was talking about her during the red carpet and LL Cool J started the show with a tribute to her followed by a short video tribute. What a sad ending to a beautiful singer. May she rest in peace.
seriously, sometimes i pay more attention to the background dancers trying to figure if any of them are sytycd alums rather than the performing artist. grammys last night were pretty good although i can barely remember what it was like before DVR and i couldn't fast forward through the boring stuff. i actually really enjoyed the country performances too - i find it funny that country singers always so much better live than pop singers. i also liked nicki minaj's performance, it was over-the-top but she's very talented.
