Let's talk Grammys

Everyone has been talking about the Grammys, especially when Beyonce earned six honors, (repeat: six) the most ever won by a female performer. And Taylor Swift took home her first Grammy, and three others to go with it unfortunately she dropped one but then again, she also took home the big prize of the night: Best Album. In a surprising upset, Kings of Leon beat them both for Record of the Year for their “Use Somebody.â€

Also this year’s performances seemed even more exciting and I’d have a hard time choosing a favorite.

First there's Pink's High-Flying "Glitter in the Air" First, which gave everyone a shocked with a barely-there bandage outfit. Then, she lifted above the audience for a Cirque du Soleil-like aerial ballet with sprinkler special effects! Her performance left everyone in awe! And the fact that she can sing upside down without missing a note! Impressive.

Beyonce's "If I Were A Boy" and "You Oughta Know" mash up Beyonce looked fierce, as Sasha is. When she belted out Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know" complete with a wind machine, another awesome Grammy moment.

Who could forget Lady Gaga and Elton John's "Speechless" playing opposite pianos with a strange silver arm sculpture. It didn't surprise me that both artists dressed outlandish, I would have to say this, Lady Gaga is looking weird and weird everyday. But their voices blended rather well, and that I would give more of an applause.

I love how Black Eyed Peas "Imma Be" and "I've Got a Feeling" Mix The Black Eyed Peas got the audience on their feet with a high-energy, futuristic performance of "Imma Be" and "I've Got a Feeling." My favorite part: the dancers in robotic, speaker costumes, talk about music extraordinaire.

And of course the Michael Jackson "Earth Song" Tribute sang by Celine Dion, Smokey Robinson, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, and Carrie Underwood, came together to pay tribute to the King of Pop with a 3-D video from his planned "This Is It" tour in the background.
