It's an event looked forward to for months, as celebrities plan flawless outfits, performances and acceptance speeches and gear up for the night of the year. The 'normal' people count down the days until the big night and prepare their voices to scream, shout and sing along excitedly from their own living rooms. This event is the Grammys, a celebration of the biggest successes in music. It will have you on the edge of your seat, or maybe rolling on the floor in my case, crossing your fingers anxiously for your favourite artists to be recognized. And as presenter Stephen Colbert stated, it is the greatest honor in music besides getting your song remade on 'Glee'.
For me, the anticipation and betting on who will get certain awards is nail-biting, but the best part has got to be the incredible performances. For such a big event, they pull out all the stops. Everything is super over-the-top: lighting, sets, costumes. This year, one of my favourite performances was by P!nk. Singing completely live, she hung from a ribbon doing acrobatics and spinning around, no cables attached! It was dangerous, but it was so artistic and everyone's eyes were glued on her the entire time. Of course, the fabulous Lady Gaga never fails to impress either. Not with visual appeal, but with pure talent... Oh, and her extreme costumes do help too. And her voice paired with Elton John's as they sang 'Speechless' had everyone, well, speechless. I was shocked that Lady Gaga only won two Grammys. I mean really, Taylor Swift is cute and talented and lovable, but she didn't have FIVE NUMBER ONE HITS like Gaga did, and therefore I think Gaga got shafted in the Album of the Year award. She deserved it for sure.
This has been the most spectacular Grammy ceremony in a very long time. I am willing to bet that a lot of other people are already preparing for the next ceremony, and counting down the days, and I am definitely one of those people.
