“And the winner is…” ließ gestern Nacht vielen Nominierten die Tränen in die Augen schießen. Es gab große Emotionen, hochkarätige Gäste und Performances vom Feinsten.

Live on Stage gaben folgende Künstler mehr als ihr bestes:
Alicia Keys, Black Eyed Peas, Franz Ferdinand, Green Day, Gwen Steani & Eve, Jamie Foxx, John Mayer, Joss Stone & Melissa Etheridge, J.Lo & Marc Anthony, Kanye West, Usher und viele, viele andere Top-Musiker!

Queen Latifah, die freche Rap-Göttin der USA, führte das Publikum und die Zuschauer durch den Abend und machte dabei eine glänzende Figur!

Der Abräumer des Abends war definitiv Ray Charles! Mit acht Grammys in den Kategorien Single des Jahres, bestes Album, beste Gemeinschaftsproduktion sowie bester Gospelsong war Ray Charles das Highlight des Abends. Schade nur, dass Ray nicht mehr unter uns weilt…

Auch Alicia Keys, die wieder einmal vier Grammy Arwards mit nach Hause nehmen durfte, freute sich sichtlich gerührt!

Die Show war eine Augenweide für Männlein und Weiblein, aber schaut doch einfach selbst in die FOTOSTORY rein!
