Usher is such an underrated vocalist! And Stevie Wonder needs no introduction. A lovely performance. ❤

Rihanna be like “I forgot my outfit at home, let me just borrow a random guys’ suit and still look awesome.” And her vocals were on point today too!

Sam Smith, everyone! That is how you write a song and sing the crap out of it. He deserves all his wins tonight!!

(10:41PM)
Beck for album of the year! Awesome! Bet no one expected that one though… BUT BEYONCE has the best album for real though.

(10:51PM)
Sia is the QUEEN of screlts (scream + belt whilst still singing really well).

SONG OF THE YEAR & RECORD OF THE YEAR SAM SMITH YAAAAS. Agh Take Me to Church and Chandelier would have been such worthy winners as well!!!

“Oh won’t you SLAY with me.” – Sam Smith at the Grammys this year

(11:29PM)
Beyonce ACTUALLY taking us to church. Yas.

John Legend sounding as soulful as ever. The timbre of his voice is everything. What a powerful song.

And that’s a wrap peeps! Until next year when Adele comes back to sweep it all (calling it now).

Peace, Love, & Rock n’ Roll,
A-Tran \m/

P.S. Here are a few snubs that I will never get over:
Katy Perry & Nicki Minaj in general – These two women have done so much for pop and hip hop, and women in the industry. Neither of them have Grammys….

“Jealous” by Nick Jonas – He totally deserved a nom for his solo comeback. This song is a HIT.

Demi Lovato – Fantastic pop/rock singer, songwriter, musician, and performer. ZERO Grammys…
