No event can be declared a success unless it is immediately followed by the mass production of memes and GIFs regarding said event. The Grammys this year look to have been dominated by Taylor Swift's unrestrained excitement (she cannot stop dancing), Justin Timberlake, Prince's swagger and the odd way Jay-Z seems to be presiding over the whole affair.
Congratulations are in order for Ellen DeGeneres after last night's Grammys. She didn't win an award, but she did do something possibly better -- say what we were all thinking about Katy Perry's boobs. With her face. On camera. Take a look.
The 2012 Grammys had a lot of great performances. Sometimes a few get overlooked in all the reports about the biggest stars. But I was very moved by the tribute to Glen Campbell at this year's awards show. The Band Perry and Blake Shelton did a fantastic job leading up the Glen taking the stage for 'Rhinestone Cowboy'.
The 2012 Grammy awards featured something for just about everyone last night (February 12th, 2012). Fans of music old and new had a wealth of performances during the presentations. Adele took home six awards, the Foo Fighters scored five. And the performers ranged from the much anticipated return of Adele, to the sounds of a reunited Beach Boys.
The Beach Boys, complete with their long-absent resident songwriting genius Brian Wilson, reunited on the stage of the 2012 Grammy Awards to perform their majestic single ‘Good Vibrations’ following tributes by some of today’s biggest indie and pop music stars.
Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band got the 2011 Grammy Awards off to a suitably overblown start with a big, string-section assisted live rendition of his current single, ‘We Take Care of Our Own.’
Interviewing celebs at the Grammy Awards can be overwhelming, but their were two girls almost too eager for the task: YouTube sensations Sophia Grace and Rosie (aka the ‘Super Bass’ girls).
Tony Bennett‘s collaboration with Queen Latifah, ‘Who Can I Turn To (When Nobody Needs Me),’ bested Sting‘s ‘Moon Over Bourbon Street’ for the 2012 Grammy for Best Instrumental Arrangement Accompanying Vocalist(s).
Allman Brothers Band guitarist Derek Trucks beat out two of his bandmates to win the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Blues Album this afternoon. He is receiving the honor as part of the Tedeschi Trucks Band for their 2011 album ‘Revelator.’
Engineers Elliot Scheiner, Bob Ludwig and Bill Levenson won a Best Surround Sound Grammy for their work on the re-release of Eric Clapton‘s old band Derek & the Dominos’ ‘Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs.’
