On Sunday January 31st. the music industry got together for the 52nd annual Grammy Awards at the Staples Center in Hollywood California. For those of you who may have missed the show the only performances worth seeing was Pink’s acrobatic and aquatic performance; while being suspended over the audience in nothing but a shear crystallized uni-tard and Lady Gaga’s performance of “Poker Face” in a very green and very outlandish Armiani Privé number, then sang a different yet catchy rendition of “Your Song” which Gaga honorably performed with the Legendary Sir Elton John; a Lady Gaga of his own in the 70’s.
As for awards; here are is the list of categories, its nominees, and its winners! The pink highlighted nominee won the Grammy for their category. (people.com)
