sunday night was the night to be in music. well, unless your name is justin bieber. even though the biebs took the weekend box office by storm, he didn't take home any awards at the grammys. here's a break down of the big category winners, and some of my favorite moments from the show.
the grammys were really a night of upsets. arcade fire took home album of the year over gaga, eminem and katy perry. the grammys went the opposite of this year's award show trend - they weren't political at all. unexpected artists (like esperanza spalding - who?) took home top honors, while more established acts, well, didn't.
record of the year: "need you now," lady antebellum
rap album: recovery, eminem
new artist: esperanza spalding
song of the year: "need you now," lady antebellum
the pop category is the biggest category of the night, and it belonged to lady gaga. and train. and bruno mars.
pop vocal album: the fame monster, lady gaga
pop performance (duo or group): "hey soul sister," train
female pop vocal performance: lady gaga, "bad romance"
male pop vocal performance: bruno mars, "just the way you are"

now for the performances. the night opened with an aretha franklin tribute, led by christina aguilera, martina mcbride, jennifer hudson, florence (minus the machine) and yolanda adams. it was a really well done medley, but you could tell christina did not enjoy being anyone's back-up singer.

as christina exited the stage, though, she took a little tumble...
rihanna took the stage twice during the show, which was unexpected. but much appreciated. joining her on stage were some of the biggest acts in the rap game - eminem, dr. dre and drake.
lady gaga was literally born on stage. gaga showed up to the award show dressed...well, more so shielded, by an egg.
and i guess we finally know the answer to what came first - the chicken or the egg? after gaga, cee-lo green (dressed as the nbc peacock) took the stage alongside gwyneth paltrow and the muppets? to sing "forget you."
and katy perry revealed why she never sold her wedding album to a tabloid - she was saving it for herself...and millions of people watching the grammys.
