The Grammy Awards is an awards show that started in 1958 and has been broadcast on TV since 1971 handing out awards for achievements in the music industry. The name, Grammy awards used to be called the gold gramophone trophies. This year, the 52nd Grammy Awards show was held in Los Angeles and was over three hours long with many awards and live performances such as Lady Gaga and Elton John playing dueling pianos with piano lamps singing a combination of Speechless and Your Song to the crowd. Another amazing performance was by Pink who sang “Glitter in the Air” while performing an impressive aerial acrobatics stunt using silk scarves and dramatic House of Troy lighting.

Beyonce Knowles made Grammy Award history at the 2010 Grammy Awards by winning the most Grammy’s for a female in one year. She won 6 awards for different categories like song of the year and best R&B female vocal. Her song Single Ladies was a worldwide hit that got her several of her awards as well as her album from which that song was on. Despite her success at the awards show, Beyonce appeared surprised to receive so many accolades and especially thanked her spouse, Jay Z, another famous musician. Her career began as a singer in the girl group known as Destiny’s Child and really exploded once she went solo with her career.

The young 20 year old country singer and songwriter, Taylor Swift was the other big winner at the 2010 Grammy Awards winning the biggest prize of Album of the year for her Fearless album. She has had a very successful year winning many awards and the Grammy’s proved to be just that getting her 4 of the gold Gramophone trophies to take home. Besides winning her first Grammy awards, Swift performed a duet with one of her longtime idols, Stevie Nicks. The future certainly appears promising for the young lady from Nashville.

Another group from Nashville, Tennessee that surprised many at the Grammy Awards was the family band named Kings of Leon that won 3 awards including the record of the year beating out rock big timers, U2 and the Dave Matthews band. And yet a third country band won a huge award for being named the best new artist was given to the Zac Brown band. It seems as if the country singers and those hailing from Nashville really did well at the 52nd Grammy Awards.

Another memorable moment of the night was during a special Michael Jackson tribute where they showed a video Jackson had made that was to be performed on his tour that he was preparing for at the time of his sudden death. It was done in 3D and singers, Celine Dion, Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood all contributed to it on stage. Jackson’s daughter and son, Paris and Prince accepted a lifetime achievement award on behalf of their father which moved the whole audience.
