Grammys Round-Up: Performance Highlights
By Seraphina L.
Last night, The Grammys did what they do best: Cram 24 performances into one night between all the awards. Award highlights go out to Coldplay for best rock album (no surprise there), Robert Plant and Alison Krauss for record of the year, and Lil Wayne taking the grammy for best rap album.
The performances ranged from painful (Kid Rock) to ridiculous (Katy Perry). Yet, there was a glimpse of actual entertainment when M.I.A. came out with the “Rap Pack” (Kanye, T.I., Jay-Z, Lil Wayne) in an outfit that not only accentuated her nine months pregnant belly, but also saved whoever’s ass came up with the “Rap Pack” idea. However, the bonus performance for everyone was Radiohead’s spectacular show of “15 Step” complete with the USC marching band fully backing Yorke.
Check out the performances from Radiohead, Kanye, Coldplay, and more after the jump!
Radiohead: “15 Step”
M.I.A., Jay-Z, Kanye West, T.I., Lil Wayne: “Swagga Like Us”
U2: “Get On Your Boots”
Kanye West and Estelle: “American Boy”
Coldplay ft. Jay-Z: “Viva la Vida”
Did any of these performances make watching the Grammys worth your time?
