Did Eminem, Lady Gaga, Arcade Fire Or Justin Bieber Have The Best Grammy Performance?

Posted 2/14/11 8:00 am EST by in Grammys

On Sunday night (February 13), the 53rd Grammy Awards unleashed a series of extra-memorable moments, including multiple wins by Lady Gaga and Eminem, Arcade Fire's upset victory in the Album of the Year category and some amazing presenter pairings (including the tag team of Selena Gomez and Donnie Wahlberg). But the biggest headlines came out of the cavalcade of performances over the course of the show's three-and-a-half hours, including stunning presentations from artists both young (Arcade Fire, Muse, Justin Bieber) and less young (Bob Dylan, Mick Jagger, Barbra Streisand).

Though most everybody put forth an astounding effort during the show, which performance stood tallest as the evening's best? Here's a reminder of what you might have missed.

Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Florence Welch, Martina McBride and Yolanda Adams
The evening kicked off with a tribute to Aretha Franklin, care of some of the biggest voices in pop music. Welch was especially electric, proving that she belonged alongside the rest of the divas.

Lady Gaga
Her royal weirdness did not disappoint, as her performance of "Born This Way" featured some killer dance movies and an even deadlier pipe organ solo.

Muse
The winners of the Best Rock Album award tore through yet another smoking version of "Uprising."

B.o.B, Bruno Mars and Janelle Monae
In what might have been the night's most eclectic performance, Mars proved himself to be one of the hardest-working guys in the business, as he moved from piano to vocals to drums.

Lady Antebellum
The night's biggest winners not only delivered their smash "Need You Now" (for the second straight year) but also paid tribute to Teddy Pendergrass.

Miranda Lambert
Country's next big crossover sensation proved why she was about to pop with a smooth take on her "The House That Built Me."

Justin Bieber, Usher and Jaden Smith
Bieber certainly had a big weekend, as not only did his movie rake in $30 million but he also performed a jumpy version of "Never Say Never" with Smith. Usher's "OMG" was just icing on the cake.

Bob Dylan, Mumford & Sons and Avett Brothers
Roots rock lived as two of the indie world's grittiest acts laid out some sweet musicianship before everybody jammed on Dylan's "Maggie's Farm" (complete with always-excellent harmonica solo).

Cee Lo Green, Gwyneth Paltrow and the Muppets
Two words: Peacock suit. Also: Muppets!

Mick Jagger
In the evening's most surprisingly thrilling performance, the Rolling Stones frontman made his Grammy debut in a tribute to late soul legend Solomon Burke.

John Mayer, Keith Urban and Norah Jones
In an impromptu performance, Mayer, Urban and Jones laid out a quick, spry version of "Jolene" as a tribute to Lifetime Achievement Award winner Dolly Parton.

Barbra Streisand
The legendary diva brought back "Evergreen," which won a Grammy way back in 1978.

Katy Perry
In a performance dedicated to "all the Valentine lovers," Perry proved she could hold her own both as a balladeer and as a sugar-coated pop princess.

Eminem, Rihanna and Dr. Dre
Dre's return to the Grammy stage was epic, as "Love the Way You Lie" gave way to "I Need a Doctor."

Rihanna and Drake
Rihanna pulled double duty on Sunday night, as her second performance (this time with Drake on "What's My Name") was just as passionate as her turn on "Love the Way You Lie."

Arcade Fire
Just before they won Album of the Year, Arcade Fire delivered a sweaty, ballsy performance accompanied by a bunch of guys on BMX bikes.

So which one was the best? Vote in the poll below and leave your arguments in the comments!

Justin Bieber's Grammy Night, From The Red Carpet To Backstage!

Posted 2/14/11 12:02 am EST by in Grammys

Justin Bieber may not have come away with one of the evening's most coveted awards (he lost the Best New Artist prize to Esperanza Spalding), but that doesn't mean his experience at the 53rd Grammy Awards was anything less than stellar. The 16-year-old Canadian singing sensation certainly seemed to be having fun while in attendance at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. His performance, which included an acoustic rendition of "Baby," a smoking run through "Never Say Never" (with rap assistance courtesy of fellow underage star and friend Jaden Smith) and yet another high-profile performance of Usher's "OMG" (which also included a guest spot from Bieber right at the end). Bieber's minutes on stage were some of the most electric of the night.

(Click here for photos from Justin Bieber's night at the 53rd Grammy Awards, from the red carpet to backstage and beyond!)

But he didn't stop there, as the singer made his way around the venue with the grace and style of a veteran. Dressed in a white tuxedo and armed with a seat in the front row, Bieber was clearly visible for most of the show, and he could often be seen conversing with Usher (who was seated just to his right). During the breaks, Bieber made a habit of circulating, hanging out with his parents, chatting with Usher and Smith and even making his way over to pay his respects to Lady Gaga (who got a Bieber-sized hug for her efforts). He also spent some quality time with fashion plate and fellow Atlanta native Cee Lo Green, whose on-stage costume proved to be one of the most popular of the evening.

Posted 2/13/11 7:45 pm EST by in Grammys

Welcome to the 53rd Grammy Awards, which will be featuring appearances and performances from some of the biggest names in music. Those names include Eminem (who leads all nominees and who could make history this evening), Lady Gaga (fresh off the premiere of her new single "Born This Way"), Rihanna, Drake, Arcade Fire, Cee Lo Green, Justin Bieber (who is currently in a knock-down, drag-out box office battle with Adam Sandler's "Just Go With It" for the coveted first place spot), Muse, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson and Bob Dylan (just for good measure). It promises to be an eventful, historic night, and the MTV Newsroom Blog is going to be right on top of all the most outstanding performances, biggest awards upsets and most incredible Grammy moments. The show always features a number of surprises (both scheduled and not), so it should be a fantastically entertaining three-and-a-half hours.

(Click here for all the best photos from the 53rd Grammy Awards red carpet, featuring Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and others!)

So grab a snack, crack open a cold beverage and follow along with the official Grammy Awards live blog. Between the broadcast and the MTV News correspondents on the ground (including Sway and James Montgomery), it should be jam-packed full of reports, observations and behind-the-scenes tidbits that are sure to make your Grammy experience complete.

11:28: Well, that was an unusual evening, wasn't it? Stay tuned to this space and to MTV News for all the latest backstage gossip, interviews with the winners (and losers), tales from the after-parties and all the analysis from one of music's biggest nights. Thanks for hanging out!

11:26: It has been a crazy year for Arcade Fire, who went to number one on the Billboard chart, headlined Lollapalooza and sold out Madison Square Garden. With this victory, they are now not just a cult favorite — they're one of the biggest bands in the world.

11:24: In an astounding upset, Arcade Fire grab the Grammy for Album of the Year. They seems genuinely shocked at the development. They thank Canada and return to their instruments to play the show out. "We're gonna play another song, because we love music," Win Butler says.

11:22: Were people really clamoring for Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson to get back together? In any event, they're here to give out the prize for Album of the Year.

11:14: The crowd at the Staples Center has no idea what they are looking at, partially because of the weirdness of Arcade Fire and partially because of those strobe lights.

11:11: Jason Segel welcomes us to the Grammys over three hours into the show. He's here to pull back the curtain on Arcade Fire, who as we've been reminded all night are making their Grammy Awards debut.

11:06: The only thing left tonight is Arcade Fire's performance and the award for Album of the Year. Who is going to take home the top prize of the night? Will Lady Antebellum continue their streak?

11:04: Congratulations to Lady Antebellum and "Need You Now." They're totally going to win Album of the Year, aren't they?

11:02: Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony come out to give out the hardware for Record of the Year. This should go to Cee Lo, Eminem or Jay-Z, right?

11:01: Drake's verse in "What's My Name" is pretty filthy, isn't it? Also, are they reenacting "The Wicker Man" behind Rihanna?

10:58: Diddy (who has won three Grammys himself) introduces Rihanna and Drake, who are staging "What's My Name" around a giant bonfire. There has been an awful lot of fire tonight, right?

10:53: Eminem picks up another award for Best Rap Album (it's the fifth of his career in this category). He gives props to Rihanna, Dr. Dre, his producers, the fans and Detroit.

10:50: Nicki Minaj and will.i.am are here to give out the prize for Best Rap Album. Nicki's hair is crazy sick. And so is B.o.B's red dinner jacket.

10:46: Kris Kristofferson comes out to introduce Barbra Streisand (who was MusiCares' Person of the Year). Streisand — who hasn't lost much in the vocal department — to sing "Evergreen," which won a Grammy way back in 1978.

10:42: During the break, Lady Gaga returned to her seat and received an embrace from none other than Justin Bieber. A great meeting between two of the biggest stars on the planet and a true Grammy moment.

Live From The Grammy Awards Red Carpet With Snooki And Sway!

Posted 2/13/11 5:45 pm EST by in Grammys

The 53rd Grammy Awards are here, which means that one of music's biggest nights if finally upon us. Beaming live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the Grammys will feature performances from some of the biggest names in music, including Eminem, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Arcade Fire, Cee Lo Green, Justin Bieber, Rihanna, Drake, Muse and a boatload of others. Many of those same artists are competing for one of the most coveted prizes in music, with Eminem leading the list of all nominees. Could this be Slim Shady's big night or will it represent a breakout evening for other artists? These answers will all be answered in the coming hours.

(Click here for all the best photos from the 53rd Grammy Awards red carpet, featuring Nicki Minaj, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga and others!)

But before the show gets started, it's time to hit the red carpet with two of MTV's favorite friends. Check out "Snooki & Sway: Live From the Grammys," the live streaming show that beams directly from the red carpet outside the Staples Center. The MTV News host and "Jersey Shore" star will be hanging out with some of the biggest names, chatting to some of the most popular groups and checking out all the hottest fashions making their way into the arena. Since fun and excitement seem to follow Snooki wherever she goes, you can expect the unexpected starting at 6 p.m. Eastern.

While you watch, stay tuned here for updates from the red carpet from MTV News' own James Montgomery, who is camped out on the carpet and checking out all the behind-the-scenes action — much of it surrounding the dramatic arrival of Lady Gaga.

7:00: Nicki Minaj just arrived. She has a hair style that's half leopard print, half "Bride of Frankenstein," all blonde. The leopard spots match her dress, of course. Also, Nicki totally grabbed Snooki's boobs.

6:48: B.o.b and Paramore just exchanged pleasantries and handshakes on the carpet. Snooki totally wanted to storm onto the live stream and take a photo with B.o.b.

6:22: Continuing to build a bridge with the indie community, Snooki just chatted up the guys in Vampire Weekend. We did learn that VW's favorite "Jersey Shore" cast member is Ronnie (except for Rostam, who loves Vinny) and that Snooki and Vinny aren't exactly on the best terms. "It's hard, literally," she said.

6:01: Lady Gaga just arrived on the carpet inside a futuristic egg being carried by servants. When she spied Snooki from inside the egg, she pressed her hands against the glass and waved. "I got chills," the Snookster gushed.

Great Grammy Moments: Eminem And Elton John Bury The Hatchet

Posted 2/11/11 3:30 pm EST by in Grammys

The 53rd Grammy Awards are upon us, and music's biggest, most prestigious awards show will feature a number of killer performances, appearances and potential acceptance speeches from the likes of Eminem, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Cee Lo Green, Muse, Arcade Fire, B.o.B, Justin Bieber, Lady Antebellum, Jay-Z and scores of others. In order to appreciate what's to come, every day the MTV Newsroom Blog will deliver a classic moment in the history of the Grammy Awards. Today's installment: Eminem and Elton John kick everything up a notch.

As far as the hard data is concerned, the big winners at the 43rd Grammy Awards — held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 21, 2001 — were Steely Dan, who collected three trophies that night (including Album of the Year for their comeback album Two Against Nature). But the biggest moment of that evening belonged to Eminem, whose performance of "Stan" (featuring an assist from Elton John) turned into the greatest moment in the history of the Grammy Awards.

Eminem had been a lightning rod ever since his debut album The Slim Shady LP dropped in 1999, but the storm surrounding him because especially intense following 2000's The Marshall Mathers LP. Though it contained some of the rapper's biggest pop hits (including the massive "The Real Slim Shady"), it also contained plenty of lyrics that alluded to violence, sexism, drug use and homophobia. It was the latter that got Em into the most trouble, and in fact the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation actually protested the Grammy Awards in 2001 because of Eminem's participation.

Though he continuously stated that not all of his lyrics were to be taken seriously, Eminem knew that actions spoke louder than words. So when the time came for the chorus to kick in on his hit "Stan," the curtain revealed that Elton John had been tapped to provide those vocals for the evening (on the album, they were done by Dido). After a powerful, moving performance of the song (about an obsessed fan whose psyche falls apart), the two music icons embraced in a symbolic burying of the hatchet. It was a meaningful, memorable moment that brought people together via the power of music — something that every Grammy Awards hopes to accomplish.

Don't miss "Snooki & Sway: Live From the Grammys," a red-carpet live stream kicking off Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on MTV.com. And stick with us all Grammy night for coverage of the red carpet, the show, the afterparties and beyond!

Eminem, Country Stars Vie For Song Of The Year: Better Know A Grammy Category

Posted 2/11/11 1:30 pm EST by in Grammys

The 53rd Grammy Awards are upon us, and they bring with them dozens of artists competing in 109 different categories. The performers on the show — which airs live on Sunday, February 13 — include Eminem, Dr. Dre, Cee Lo Green, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Drake, Arcade Fire, Justin Bieber, Miranda Lambert, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Katy Perry, Muse, B.o.B, Usher, Bob Dylan, Bruno Mars, Jaden Smith and Janelle Monae. It promises to be one of the biggest nights in the history of music, and MTV News will be bringing you wall-to-wall coverage of the big event.

But the awards are the big draw, and just as the MTV Newsroom Blog does with the MTV Video Music Awards, here are a series of guides to some of the biggest categories on the docket. This time around: Song of the Year.

In some ways, the nominees for the Grammy for Song of the Year don't necessarily reflect the year in music. For example, the nod given to Ray LaMontagne's "Beg Steal or Borrow" doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense, as LaMontagne's 2010 album with the Pariah Dogs God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise was met with neither overwhelming critical acclaim nor commercial success (though it remains a reasonable song).

The rest of the nominees seem to make a reasonable case for their inclusion. There's a chart-topping smash by two of the biggest artists in the business (Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie"), the potty-mouthed left field throwback (Cee Lo Green's "F--- You"), a true country juggernaut (Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now") and a country star on the brink of something much bigger (Miranda Lambert's "The House That Built Me"). Since Song of the Year focuses on songwriting, it's all about the quality of the song itself. So which one stands on top?

Based on recent history, Grammy voters seem to be most on board with next-level R&B tracks (Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)" and Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" are among the recent winners), though they do prefer straight-ahead rock songs (of which there are none nominated this time around). Country only seems to score when the Dixie Chicks are involved, so that means that this is a dead heat between "Love the Way You Lie" and "F--- You."

And that is the very definition of a coin flip. Do the voters go with the friendly throwback vibe of "F--- You" or the slightly more dangerous sound of "Love the Way You Lie"? It's a true toss-up, and when the chips are down, it's tough to bet against Slim Shady.

Notable Winners: Billy Joel, "Just the Way You Are" (1979); The Police, "Every Breath You Take" (1984); USA For Africa, "We Are the World" (1986); Celine Dion, "My Heart Will Go On" (1999); U2, "Beautiful Day" (2001)

Notable Robberies: Eminem's "Lose Yourself" really should have beaten Luther Vandross' "Dance With My Father" in 2004, and the Grammy voters' odd love affair with Shawn Colvin's "Sunny Came Home" prevented victories by No Doubt's "Don't Speak" or R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly."

Who do you think will win the Grammy for Song of the Year? Let us know in the comments!

Eminem, Christina Aguilera And Lady Gaga In Final Grammy Poll Showdown

Posted 2/10/11 5:30 pm EST by in Grammys

The 53rd Grammy Awards are very nearly here, but the list of Grammy performers continues to grow. As if Eminem was aware that his lead in the most anticipated Grammy performance poll was slipping, the news came down earlier today that Dr. Dre would in fact be joining Slim Shady on stage for a performance (likely of the just-charted single "I Need a Doctor"). And just because there apparently weren't enough legends already on the docket, Bob Dylan was also added to the night's roster (he'll be playing alongside Mumford & Sons and Avett Brothers in what is being billed as a "tribute to acoustic music," which will likely have nods to folk, country and bluegrass).

As far as the poll for the most hotly-anticipated Grammy performance goes, Christina Aguilera (and the rest of the women participating in the tribute to Aretha Franklin) has taken control of the whole thing. Despite a decent head start, Lady Gaga and Eminem have both ceded the lead to Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson and company. But there is still time to endorse your favorite, as the voting will be open until Friday morning (February 11). The winner will be announced on Saturday (February 12), just in time to let the actual performances unfold on Sunday (February 13). Will Slim Shady's army — now with a big gun named Dr. Dre — return to the top of the heap? Will the Little Monsters send Lady Gaga into the number one spot? Or will Aguilera finish strong in the catbird seat? Keep voting below, and stay tuned for more Grammy news!

Great Grammy Moments: Alanis Morissette Shows There's A New Kind Of Diva

Posted 2/10/11 4:30 pm EST by in Grammys

The 53rd Grammy Awards are upon us, and music's biggest, most prestigious awards show will feature a number of killer performances, appearances and potential acceptance speeches from the likes of Eminem, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Cee Lo Green, Muse, Arcade Fire, B.o.B, Justin Bieber, Lady Antebellum, Jay-Z and scores of others. In order to appreciate what's to come, every day the MTV Newsroom Blog will deliver a classic moment in the history of the Grammy Awards. Today's installment: Alanis Morissette tops Mariah Carey for some jagged little trophies.

When the nominations for the 38th Grammy Awards were announced, everybody assumed that Mariah Carey — who was nominated for six prizes, all surrounding her massive 1995 album Dadydream — would be the night's big winner. It made sense, as she had spent most of the previous year raking in both critical and commercial success, mostly due to the huge singles "Fantasy" and "One Sweet Day" (a collaboration with Boyz II Men that spent 16 weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, a record for the longest-running chart-topper that still stands).

However, when the night was over, Carey walked away empty-handed, while a totally new kind of diva ended up scoring four prizes. Alanis Morissette, the bile-filled Canadian rock singer who blew the doors off the pop music establishment with 1995's Jagged Little Pill, ended up winning four awards, including Album of the Year, Best Female Rock Vocal Performance, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Album. Her score for Album of the Year was particularly impressive, as at 21 years old she became the youngest person ever to win that award (though that record was broken when Taylor Swift won the same prize for Fearless in 2010).

Don't miss "Snooki & Sway: Live From the Grammys," a red-carpet live stream kicking off Sunday at 6 p.m. ET on MTV.com. And stick with us all Grammy night for coverage of the red carpet, the show, the afterparties and beyond!

Bruno Mars Squares Off Against Himself For Record Of The Year: Better Know A Grammy Category

Posted 2/10/11 1:30 pm EST by in Grammys

The 53rd Grammy Awards are upon us, and they bring with them dozens of artists competing in 109 different categories. The performers on the show — which airs live on Sunday, February 13 — include Eminem, Cee Lo Green, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Drake, Arcade Fire, Justin Bieber, Miranda Lambert, Katy Perry, Muse, B.o.B, Usher, Bruno Mars, Jaden Smith and Janelle Monae. It promises to be one of the biggest nights in the history of music, and MTV News will be bringing you wall-to-wall coverage of the big event.

But the awards are the big draw, and just as the MTV Newsroom Blog does with the MTV Video Music Awards, here are a series of guides to some of the biggest categories on the docket. This time around: Record of the Year.

Among Grammy voters, Record of the Year is considered the biggest award handed out over the course of the show, even though many people don't really understand the difference between this prize and Song of the Year. (The difference is that Song of the Year is a performance award, while Record of the Year congratulates producers, mixers and engineers.) Though the public gravitates more toward Album of the Year and Song of the Year, Record of the Year is an important and prestigious award.

This year's category is ruled by Bruno Mars, who is nominated twice as a member of the writing and production team the Smeezingtons. They crafted both B.o.B's "Nothin' on You" and Cee Lo Green's "F--- You," both of which are up for Record of the Year. The rest of the field features Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind," Eminem and Rihanna's "Love the Way You Lie" and Lady Antebellum's "Need You Now."

While logic would dictate that Mars' two tracks would split his vote, it seems like the Grammys really want to reward the Smeezingtons for the incredible year that they had. With that in mind, "F--- You" really should be the winner (of the two). Of course, Jigga's "Empire State of Mind" is exactly the kind of track that would win Record of the Year, as it's just stately enough to sound legendary.

Notable Winners: Simon & Garfunkel, "Mrs. Robinson" (1969); Roberta Flack, "Killing Me Softly With His Song" (1974); Tina Turner, "What's Love Got to Do With It" (1985); Celine Dion, "My Heart Will Go On" (1999); Kings of Leon, "Use Somebody" (2010)

Notable Robberies: If there was ever an award that M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" should have won, it was most certainly the Record of the Year prize that Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's "Please Read the Letter" took home in 2009. Also, R. Kelly's "I Believe I Can Fly" totally got robbed by Shawn Colvin's "Sunny Came Home" in 1998.

Christina Aguilera Throws A Wrench Into Grammy Performers Poll

Posted 2/9/11 5:30 pm EST by in Grammys

This Sunday's (February 13) Grammy Awards promises to be one of the biggest events in the history of live music on television. The lineup of performers continues to expand, and there are still plenty of rumors about surprise guests. So even though the most hotly-anticipated performer poll remains a statistical dead head between Eminem and Lady Gaga, the newest names dropped into the mix have definitely thrown a curve ball.

In the biggest news of the past few days, the producers announced that the show will contain a huge star-studded tribute to Aretha Franklin. Christina Aguilera, Martina McBride, Jennifer Hudson, Yolanda Adams and Florence Welch will all pay tribute to the legendary soul singer, who has struggled with health issues over the past year (but is currently feeling good). That's a lot of talent on one stage, and it even offers Aguilera an opportunity for high-profile redemption following her mix-up while she sang the national anthem at the Super Bowl last weekend. It will also be a big performance for Welch, who will have a whole lot of big mainstream exposure on award shows over the next few weeks (she'll be performing on the Oscars as well, joining Gwyneth Paltrow as a fellow double-dipper).

In addition to the Franklin tribute, the Grammys will also host performances by Barbra Streisand and Best New Artist nominee Esperanza Spalding (who will be performing with members of the Grammy Jazz Ensemble). With those new additions in mind, is the battle between who you are more looking forward to seeing still between Gaga and Eminem, or does Aguilera have enough firepower to climb to the top? Keep voting below and let us know your arguments in the comments!
