Adele

Macklemore kwam, zag en overwon tijdens de Grammy Awards 2014. Alleen de Album of the Year Grammy ging aan de neus van Macklemore voorbij. Maar ik denk dat niemand had verwacht dat Macklemore daarmee vandoor zou gaan. Waarschijnlijk net zo weinig mensen hadden voorspeld dat Macklemore een van de grote winnaars van de Grammy Awards 2014 zou worden.

Same Sex

Het doorgaanse homofobe Amerika liet zich afgelopen nacht van haar beste kant zien door Queen Latifah 34 (hetero en homosexuele) paren te trouwen tijdens het optreden van Macklemore en Ryan Lewis. Het weerhield Daft Punk er niet van om ervan door te gaan met de Album of the Year Grammy voor “Random Access Memories”. Volgens reacties op social media maakten Kendrick Lamar (“good kid, m.A.A.d city”) en Taylor Swift (“Red”) er meer aanspraak op.

Terwijl Queen Latifah de paren trouwde, kwam Madonna het podium op met haar witte cowboy hoed om een langzame versie van haar hit ‘Open Your Heart’ te zingen.

De Grote Winnaars van de Grammy Awards 2014

“Random Access Memories” van Daft Punk werd tevens uitgeroepen tot Best Dance/Electronica Album en Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical. Single ‘Get Lucky” won de Record of the Year Grammy en Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.Met vijf Grammys haalde Daft Punk de meeste awards van de avond op.

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis kwamen gezamenlijk tot vier Grammys: Best New Artist, Best Rap Song en Best Rap Performance voor ‘Thrift Shop’ en Best Rap Album voor “The Heist”, voor Kendrick Lamar (“good kid, m.A.A.d city”), Drake (“Nothing Was the Same), Jay Z (“Magna Carta Holy Grail”) en Kanye West “Yeezus”). Wel aardig om te vermelden dat Macklemore de eerste rapper is die de Best New Artist Grammy in de wacht sleept sinds Lauryn Hill dat vijftien jaar geleden deed.

Lorde won de Song of The Year Grammy met ‘Royals’ en nam tevens de Best Pop Solo Performance award in ontvangst.

Justin Timberlake kreeg voor ‘Pusher Love Girl’ de Best R&B Song Grammy en de Best Music Video Award voor ‘Suit & Tie’.

De Best Alternative Music Album Grammy was voor Vampire Weekend (“Modern Vampires of the City”). De Best Rock Song kwam op naam van Sirvana (Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, Pat Smear en Paul McCartney) voor ‘Cut Me Some Slack’.

Het livealbum “Celebration Day” van Led Zeppelin werd uitgeroepen tot Best Rock Album en Rihanna’s “Unapologetic” Best Urban Contemporary Album. “Girl on Fire” van Alicia Keys was Best R&B Album en Pharrell Williams won de Producer of the Year, Non-Classical Grammy zoals we in september eigenlijk al voorspelden.

Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Grohl, en Lindsey Buckingham ( Fleetwood Mac) sloten de Grammy Awards 2014 af ‘Copy of A’ en ‘My God Is the Sun’. Helaas werd het optreden afgekapt voor de commercial break. Het verleidde Trent Reznor tot een tweet

Music’s biggest night… to be disrespected. A heartfelt FUCK YOU guys.
