My 2012 Grammy Awards Recap =]

What a show it was tonight! Great performances, crazy outfits, and touching tributes were all part of tonight's show. Here's what I though stood out the most:

For the 1st time in 7 years, the Grammys had a host - LL Cool J!


Here's some of my favorite moments from the red carpet!


Julianne Hough

Adele

Jessie J

Carrie Underwood

Rihanna

Katy Perry
On with the show. Bruce Springstine and The E Street Band opened the show, which was pretty cool. The most memorable performances to me were Bruno Mars, Jason Aldean & Kelly Clarkson(even though there were some technical difficulties), Alicia Keys & Bonnie Rait's tribute to Etta James, Jennifer Hudson's tribute to Whitney Houston, Carrie Underwood & Tony Bennet, Rihanna(and Sasha Mallory was dancing with her!) & Coldplay, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, and of course Adele. She rocked the house with "Rolling In The Deep". And she was the top winner, I believe - winning 6 Grammy's. The whole show did seem different, with the news that Whitney Houston had died just the night before. There was a definate sadness in the air.

A memorable moment in a not so good way, was Chris Brown lip-syncing his way through a rough performance, twice. And I didn't like him winning an award. Because in my opinion, he just doesn't deserve it.

Also, I think we'll all be talking about Nicki Minaj's outfit when she arrived on the red carpet, with a guy dressed like the pope, and her performance. Which included a pre-performance video that looked a mock of "The Exorcist", and dancing preists. I'm not sure if I liked it or not, I'm still muling it over.

All in all, it was a decent show. The Grammys are something I look forward to every year, being such a music junkie.
