Grammy sconvolti dall’aggressione subita da Rihanna da parte di Chris Brown, suo fidanzato, poi costituitosi alla polizia. Cosa sia successo tra i due da far partire la SCINTILLIA di follia, nessuno lo sa. Rihanna ovviamente NON si è presentata, sconvolgendo la scaletta della serata, che la voleva anche sul palco per un esibizione. A dominare quest’edizione gli inglesi Robert Plant e Alison Krauss, che si son portati a casa ben 5 GRAMMY, compreso quello per Miglior Album, mentre tre grammy sono andati ai Coldplay così come a Lil Wayne. Migliore nuova artista Adele, premiata anche Jennifer Hudson, che ha dedicato il premio alla mamma ed al fratellino, recentemente uccisi. Tra le performance della serata, splendida l’apertura degli U2, mentre IMMANCABILE Katy Perry con il suo cazzo di tormentone, fatto ormai praticamente OVUNQUE…
