54th GRAMMY Winners

     The 54th GRAMMY Awards Night is indeed "Music's Biggest Night" as the brightest music superstars were given recognition for their work, talent, and artistry.  It was a night of unforgettable performances, red carpet fashion, and refined culture.  It was also an evening of touching memories as everyone paid tribute to Whitney Houston's musical gifts and legacy that inspired people throughout the world.

The 54th Grammay Awards Night is Music's Biggest Night

     The 54th Grammy Awards officially kicked off last November 2011 with The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live! as the nominees for the different categories were announced.  And leading to the awards night on February 12, 2012, Grammy Live started with the red carpet arrivals at noon and a live stream of the Pre-Telecast Ceremony where GRAMMYs for nearly 70 categories were awarded.

     As many have predicted, Adele's name came up quite a few times as she won all of her 6 GRAMMY nominations.  The British soul singer won Album Of The Year and Best Pop Vocal Album for her album 21, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year and Best Short Form Music Video for "Rolling In The Deep," and Best Pop Solo Performance for "Someone Like You."  Foo Fighters won 5 GRAMMYs out of their 7 nominations and Kanye West took home 4 awards this year.  For a complete list of the winners, click HERE.

     Whitney Houston's unexpected death influenced the over-all mood and some of the performances for this year's GRAMMY Awards.  Barely a day before the event, the organizers were quick enough to make some adjustments to the show.  Some of the highlights on this year's GRAMMY stage include Adele's performance of  "Rolling in the Deep" -- Adele's first time to perform after her vocal cord surgery last year.  Also note-worthy is Jennifer Hudson's rendition of "I Will Always Love You", a last minute addition as a Special Grammy Tribute to honor Whitney Houston.

Bruno Mars and his split totally funked up the GRAMMY stage with "Runaway Baby."

Maroon 5's Adam Levine and the reunited Beach Boys for some feel good music.
