The Grammy Awards took place last night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and we bring you the winners in the various categories. Over the years the Grammy Awards has achieved an enviable reputation as a very prestigious award scheme and last night’s ceremony consolidated that.
There were electrifying performances from Adele, Beyoncé, The Weeknd, Lady Gaga, Chance the Rapper, Kelsea Ballerini, John Lrgend, Little Big Town, Bruno Mars, Alicia Keys, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban and a host of others.
We think the night belonged to Beyonce who despite her pregnancy, dished out a very good performance.
Ghana can learn a whole lot from the Grammys; from the technical aspect to the performances.
