BEST:
1) Adele performing “Someone Like You”
Adele never ceases to amaze an audience with her incredible pipes. Despite spending months recovering from laser throat surgery, Adele made an epic comeback with her beautiful performance of “Someone Like You.” It’s no wonder she went home winning several grammies, including “Best Album of the Year.”
2) Jennifer Hudson performing “I Will Always Love You” tribute to Whitney Houston
News of Whitney Houston’s death has shocked fans all around, yet Jennifer Hudson was quick to step in and honor Houston’s most famous single. No one could have done it better than Miss Hudson to pay tribute to Houston, recognizing her incredible presence within the music scene throughout the years. Rest in peace, Whitney.
3) Taylor Swift performing “Mean”
Taylor Swift’s performance of her Grammy-winning song “Mean”was absolutely spot on, thus resulting in a standing ovation from happy fans. Despite Taylor’s tendency to go off-key during live performances, she remained strong throughout with flying colors.
4) Bruno Mars performing “Runaway Love”
Bruno never fails to bring full energy and passion to the stage. Rocking away with his crisp, strong voice, he completely engaged the audience – reminding them what celebrating music is all about!
WORST:
1) Nicki Minaj performing “Roman Holiday”
Unfortunately Nicki Minaj’s performance didn’t quite do it for audience members, sparking much controversy through an exorcist-like performance involving satanic and demonic references. Some even claim that Nicki has become “Stranger than Lady Gaga” – ouch.
2) Katy Perry performing “Part of Me”
Perhaps audience members were too busy focusing on Katy’s ridiculous blue-colored hair rather than her latest single. Nevertheless, Katy’s performance combined elements of S&M and sci-fi which was claimed to be an “underwhelming production.” Maybe next time, Katy.
3) Chris Brown performing “Beautiful People”
Chris Brown’s electro-pop performance was decent enough to be entertaining, but performing twice was completely unnecessary. Reviewers claim they would have much rather liked to see an artist such as Robyn up on stage – boy, would she have rocked it.
