The 57th annual Grammy Awards was broadcasted on CBS at 8/7c on Feb. 8 2015.

On February 8 of this year, CBS held the 57th annual Grammy awards, hosted by rapper LL Cool J for the fourth time.

The award show kicked off with AC/DC singing “Highway To Hell” and “Rock or Bust.” It was the first out of 23 performances that took place at the show.

One of the highlights of the evening was Rihanna’s performance with Kanye West and Paul McCartney; the trio took the stage and delivered a powerful performance of their single “FourFiveSeconds.” Other amazing performances included Beyoncé singing the gospel hymn “Take Me Home, Precious Lord” and Ariana Grande wowing the crowd with her song “Just a Little Bit of Your Heart” from her latest album, My Everything. Ed Sheeran also rocked the house with John Mayer with the song “Thinking Out Loud.”

New British artist, Sam Smith, cleaned up at the Grammy’s winning Record of the Year, Song of the Year for “Stay With Me”, Best New Artist, and Best Pop Vocal Album for “In the Lonely Hour.”

Not only was Smith a surprising big winner, but Beck shocked the crowd with his major win of Album of the Year for “Morning Phase” beating Beyoncé, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, and Pharrell Williams.

Kanye almost “pulled a Kanye” as he stormed on stage during Beck’s acceptance speech for Album of the Year. Even though Kanye did not interrupt Beck as he did to Taylor Swift back in 2009, he played off his popping up on stage as a joke. It wasn’t until afterwards at the E! News Afterparty when he revealed he wasn’t happy about Beck beating out Beyoncé.

Closing out the show, John Legend and Common sang their Golden Globe-winning and Oscar-nominated song “Glory” from the movie “Selma.”

All though there was a few upsetting wins, the Grammy’s brought spectacular vocal performances and great style and class that was missing in previous years.
