Review By 2013 Grammy Awards
There was much anticipation about "Best Pop Solo performance," fan favorite Adele took home her first Grammy for "Someone Like You."
Winning "Best Rock Performance" was The Foo Fighters with "Walk."
Rihanna rocked the stage with her latest hit "We Found Love." The song features music by artist and producer Calvin Harris. Harris wrote "We Found Love" specifically for Rihanna.
Maroon 5 took the stage singing a cover of The Beach Boys "Surfer Girl" audience members screamed as Adam Levine sung the famous bands song.
The Beach Boys joined them on the stage mid-song as the crowd took to their feet as the groups sang "Good Vibrations."
Soon after their performance ended, another musical legend Stevie Wonder walked on the stage to announce the next performer. Former Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney performed, earlier on in the evening McCartney won "Best Historical Album."
Chris Brown took home the Grammy for "Best R&B Album" with his album "F.A.M.E."
Adele took home her second Grammy of the night, beating out Bruno Mars and Bon Iver for "Song of the Year."
Adele then delivered an awe inspiring, tear-jerking, standing ovation performance of "Rolling In the Deep." Adele is still recovering from a hemorrhaged vocal cord. Which caused her to be silent for five months and caused her to cancel her 10-stop U.S. tour.
Jennifer Hudson took the stage, appearing like Whitney Houston at first glance. Hudson channeled her inner Whitney with a skin tight black dress and big hair while she sang her rendition of "I Will Always Love You."
Nicki Minaj did a performance in which she acted out an exorcism of Roman, one of Minaj's alter ego's. The controversial performance featured Minaj floating in the air whilst singing "Exorcism of Roman."
Adele took a clean sweep at the Grammy awards this year. Adele taking home a Grammy in every category that she was nominated for, including record of the year.
While being given her final award for "Album of the Year" Adele broke into tears in front of the live audience. She gave a shout-out to her mother who could not be there as she graciously thanked fans for their support. Reminding viewers that what her album is based on is something that is totally normal that went on to create great things.
