My apologies, I really thought this was posting this morning at 7:30AM. I could’ve sworn I selected AM instead of PM.
So last night was the 2016 Grammys and I was mildly entertained. There were a few good performances (Tori Kelly & James Bay, Andra Day & Ellie Goulding, Kendrick Lamar, Stevie Wonder & Pentatonix, Lionel Richie Tribute, the cast of Alexander Hamilton, Gaga), but most were pretty lackluster and there were quite a few sound issues. People’s pitches were all over the place and poor Adele suffered the worst with an unnecessary percussive backing track and sound mishaps. That was one of my favorite songs by her and I know she could’ve done better if it hadn’t been for those sound issues.
There were also many awards given out. Kendrick led the nominations with 11 and won 5 last night! Of course Taylor took home a few, she’s a Grammy favorite. And there were so many other awards that were given out on and off camera. I was honestly surprised how many awards were given away off camera since the show was over three hours long, but I’ll save that for another day.
I wanted to share some of my favorite Grammy nominated songs with y’all today. Some of these are album cuts and others are singles that were directly nominated, but all of them are great in my honest opinion. Take a listen below and let me know what you think in the comments section.
