Last Night Festivities.

The 54^th Annual Grammys honored excellence in music, concomitantly acknowledged the absent segment of the puzzle, who has departed to be with the almighty upstairs. The essence of building showily was drowned in sorrow, grieving among the unpredictable passing of Whitney Houston. She will forever live in hearts all over the world. 

LL Cool J, his dimples(botox), and applejack did a tremendous job of hosting the packed event, looking dapper as ever. Bruce Springstein and the E Street Band opened the show, as Album Of The Year nominee, Bruno Mars channeled James Brown with his dance motion and band troop accompanying. Contemporary vocalist/pianist Alicia Keys and country-expertise Bonnie Raitt emphasized on paying homage to late Blues singer, Etta James singing "Sunday Kind of Love". Talented crooner Chris Brown walked away with his first Grammy: Best R&B Album for F.A.M.E and embarked on two fascinating performances.

Adele returned from surgery, relished everyone with a savoring piece of "Rolling In The Deep" and cleaned the plate, obtaining a whopping 6 Grammys. Adele may well sing the phonebook and chills would tickle my spine. Barbados blonde bombshell Rihanna, whom I titled “Best Dressed” of the evening, gave a delightful routine of “We Found Love” teamed with choreography, making the poppy irresistible tune come to life. Later, Chris Martin (Coldplay) linked with the singer for their partnership on “Princess of China”. The stunning Carrie Underwood and Lifetime Achievement Recipient Tony Bennett nailed their duet, while aqua-head Katy Perry was supersonic in an enclosed cage.

Whitney Houston was the benchmark for the younger generation to gaze upon for inspiration. Weight Watchers gorgeous spokeswoman and R&B songstress, Jennifer Hudson hindered tears from descending as her soaring pitch tackled “I Will Always Love You” in memory of the iconic legend. Nicki Minaj was snubbed for her nominations and humiliated herself during a repulsive debut of “Roman Holiday.” The bubbly superstar certainly showed out tonight, first by polishing the Red Carpet as Little Red Riding Hood with the Pope on her arm. Then, finished with that demonic deliverance of the exorcism mini-film, levitating from the ground, and mimicking religious chants. The producers recommended her to refrain from displaying the performance, however Nicki had the final word. She should consider a side profession, perhaps acting on Broadway. David Guetta, Lil Wayne, Deadmau5, Taylor Swift, The Foo Fighters, Maroon 5, The Beach Boys, and more graced the stage at the 2012 Grammys.
