Jennifer Hudson continues her return to the spotlight by taking home the "Best R&B Album" Grammy and delivering a heart-tugging, emotional performance of her album cut "You Pulled Me Through". I know more than a few people pulled out some Kleenex during that performance.
Alternative band Radiohead delivered a polarizing performance of their song "15 Step" from their Grammy-winning album In Rainbows. I don't even know who they really are, and I kind of feel really stupid for that. That song is definitely on heavy rotation on the iPod.
Grammys avoid complete humiliation by not giving the Jonas Brothers the Best New Artist Grammy, instead, giving to a truly grateful Adele, who considering the nominees, really deserved it.
After events prior to the ceremony pulled Chris Brown and Rihanna from the ceremony, legend Al Green, Justin Timberlake, Keith Urban, and Boyz II Men performed a solid "Let's Stay Together". Also, seeing Justin act like giddy fanboy was very funny.
I may have been the only one, but I was certainly amused by Katy Perry's performance of "I Kissed a Girl". I got the fruit thing, and it was a very good vocal from the Grammy-snubbed pop tart.
Not a big country person, but there were two performances that really caught my ear. Sugarland, specifically Jennifer Nettles, got me wanting to get their Grammy-winning single "Stay". Kenny Chesney, who isn't that interesting, also did a good job.
I love tributes! Lil Wayne's homage to New Orleans, John Mayer and B.B. King's salute to the late Bo Diddley, and the "new" Four Tops were definitely standout performances of the night.
