The 2015 Grammy Awards

The Grammy Awards are probably my favourite music award show, after the VMA's of course, and I look forward to reviewing the night every year.
Although it is arguable that the Grammy's have lost their credibility over the years, all eyes were on this years winners following an already controversial nominees list. Admittedly, I found last night to be quite dull and a huge disappointment but here are the performances and winners that had everyone else talking last night.
If you would like to read my thoughts on last nights fashion then head over to my other blog www.ukstylemuse.blogspot.co.uk

Performances

There were a lot of big name performers last night as well as the usual surprise collaborations but there wasn't anything that stood out to me as a classic performance.
Sia took to the stage with surprise guest Kristen Wiig and her sidekick dancer Maddie Ziegler to perform Chandelier and Katy Perry gave a stunning performance of her album track By The Grace Of God.




Then Rihanna, Kanye and Paul McCartney gave a simple rendition of their new song FourFiveSeconds and Pharrell surprised everyone with a new rendition of his Grammy award winning classic Happy.




Ariana Grande sang Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart hitting all the notes and proving to be a more than talented singer and Beyonce closed the show with a beautiful performance of Precious Lord, Take My Hand.



Winners

To many a music fans relief, Iggy Azalea walked away with no awards despite being nominated for four but it was Eminem who took home Best Rap Album hopefully avoiding any controversy this year.
Kendrick Lamar finally won his Grammy for Best Rap Performance for his song i although he wasn't there to pick it up himself.
The biggest winner of the night was Sam Smith who walked away with four Grammy's including Song Of The Year and Best New Artist.
But a small controversy arose when Beyonce, who won two awards last night, was beaten by Beck for Album Of The Year. 
Now, in my opinion, Beyonce or Ed Sheeran should have won that award because their album's have produced multiple hit singles and proven themselves iconic...and I have no idea who Beck is.
Kanye seemed to agree that Beyonce was robbed as he jokingly went on stage to interrupt Beck's winning speech and spoke about the 'travesty' after the show.
