55th Grammy Awards - Winners

Esta pasada madruga se celebró en el Staples Center la 55 gala de los Grammy. Este año la organización impuso una norma para que ninguna cantante llamara demasiado la atención con sus escotes y a grandes rasgos se cumplió.

Los grandes ganadores de la noche resultaron ser Gotye y Kimbra con su famoso “Somebody That I Used To Know”, fun que cierra así un año de grandes éxitos, Mumford & Sons y The Black Keys. También es destacable el record que logró Adele ganando el Grammy a mejor actuación en directo por “Set Fire To The Rain” y que convierte a “21” en el disco con más Grammys de la historia, 7, superando a Beyonce que ostentaba el record con 6 galardones.

En la gala también se rindió homenaje a Bob Marley y Levon Helm. Una de las actuaciones más esperadas era la de Elton John con Ed Sheeran que aunque no defraudo, tampoco asombro a nadie dado que Elton encajaba bien en ella. Otras actuaciones de la gala fueron protagonizadas por Miguel y Wiz Khalifa, Mumford & Sons, Justin Timberlake que regresó a los escenario con su nueva canción “Suit and Tie”, Taylor Swift, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5…

Esta gala reconoció justamente a algunos cantantes como por ejemplo Gotye que con su espectacular canción apenas había recibido premios y pudo hacer justicia rindiendo homenaje a la música.
