Adele breaks her award in half and offers half to Beyoncè. Courtesy of grammy.com.

Adele opened the show, by herself on a lonely platform belting her 2016 hit, Hello. She sounded great and it was an amazing start to music’s biggest night. The night was one of the best Grammys yet for performances, but also the worst, riddled with technical and sound issues. Rihanna, Beyoncé , Kanye West, and Drake were the most nominated entertainers of the but, for some miraculous reason they were the least awarded. Chance The Rapper is an independent artist who was nominated in three categories, Best New Artist, Best Rap Performance, and Best Rap Album and won all three nods. In all three of his winning speeches, wearing his signature 3 hat, Chance thanked God which noticeably made the crowd uncomfortable.

The night was also very political with A Tribe Called Quest using their performance to speak out against racism and Donald Trump, having people of color and women in hijab stand on stage, then ending with a chant, of “Resist”three times.  Katy Perry also wore a RESIST arm band as she performed her new song, Chained to the Rhythm featuring Skip Marley, one of Bob Marley’s sons.

During the most-publicized moment of the night, Beyoncé performed a melody of  Love Drought and  Sandcastles from her Lemonade album. In true Beyoncé fashion, the performance was an artistic statement, with a well edited film footage of herself in a diamond and gold ensemble with yellow accents resembling the Nigerian deity Oshun. She had a dozen dancers for her nine-minute performance with a set similar to her pregnancy photos surrounded by roses and women of all color. At one point, she delivered her pristine vocals while tendering backwards on a wooden chair. At the end of her performance she received a standing ovation.

In a change of look and sound, Lady Gaga joined Metallica on stage. She was dressed in fishnet stocking, a Metallica concert T-shirt and donned heavy metal hair. Although Metallica lead singer James Hetfield’s microphone malfunctioned at the beginning of the song, he joined Gaga on her mic for a collaboration of the group’s new song, Moth Into Flame.

Adele then gave a tribute to the recently passed George Michael. Something was off as she started her performance, forcing her to stop and ask to restart his song, Fastlove. The audience gave her a comforting round of applause, encouraging her second attempt. Bruno Mars then delivered a tribute to Prince, dressed in traditional purple Prince Attire. He performed one of  Prince’s biggest hit Let’s Go Crazy.

Towards the end of the night, Adele won Song of the year  for Hello. As she retreated back stage to listen for the winner of Album of The Year, she was then called back on stage to accept the award. Shocked, Adele pulled a Kanye on herself offering Beyoncé the award, saying the “Lemonade album was monumental, so monumental, so well-thought-out, so beautiful and soul-baring” and how it made her and her black friends feel “empowered.” Granted, Beyoncé won Best Urban Contemporary Album but, apparently Lemonade was more than worthy for the sub category but not Album of The Year, according to the Academy. Adele then broke her Grammy in half, offering it to deserving Beyoncé as the crowd applauded in agreement and admiration. Overall, Rihanna and Kanye won none of their nods, Beyoncé won two, Drake also won two and Adele won all five of her nods.
