Despite the alleged rumors of Chris Brown and Rhianna incident, the 51st Grammy awards took place at the Staple Center last night and we have to say the performances were amazing. The performances of putting the greats from the past and today's real stars like NE-YO, Jamie Foxx and Justin Timberlake and pairing them with Smokey Robinson, BB King and Stevie Wonder is just amazing. Those performances didn't stop there as Paul McCartney, took the stage as well as Neil Diamond.
Kanye West, despite his sometimes eratic behavior, performed like a superstar. Lil Wayne, who won for best rap song, we enjoy his music, but his stage performance lacks tremendously. Our favorite performance was definately Cold Play, who we thought should of won Best Album of the Year.
For the main telecast, we were a bit disappointed that no Latino's were part of it. We know we have the Latin Grammy's, but our presence should of been included, since Latino's buy a lot of music. Check out some of the Latino winners below:
