The R&B legend Blige is entering this year’s Grammys with six nominations, but she won’t be the only nominee performing at the show. Lizzo is in the running for five awards, while Bad Bunny scored three nods. They’re all competing for one of the ceremony’s main awards: album of the year.

2022 Grammy Awards: Jon Batiste and Silk Sonic Win Top Prizes

Nikoleta P — Mon, 04 Apr 2022 06:30:00 +0000

Only a week after the Oscars, the world’s biggest stars gathered for another major ceremony on Sunday night—the Grammy Awards. Jon Batiste came into the night as the most nominated artist and picked up five awards, closely followed by Silk Sonic with four.

Batiste was in the running for 11 trophies but only picked up one in the main field—album of the year for We Are. He also received two awards in the American Roots categories, picked up the trophy for the best music video for “Freedom”, and shared the Grammy for best score soundtrack for visual media for his work on Soul with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

Silk Sonic’s triumph at the Grammys was far more impressive since they came into the night with just four nominations, and managed to win all of them. Their single “Leave the Door Open” won awards for record and song of the year, in addition to best R&B performance and best R&B song.

It was also a big night for Olivia Rodrigo, who won a total of three awards, including best new artist and best pop vocal album for Sour. The list of artists walking away with three awards also included D’Mile, Foo Fighters, Chris Stapleton, and CeCe Winans.
The 64th Annual Grammy Awards took place on April 3 in Las Vegas with Trevor Noah serving as a host.

Many of the artists performing are nominees and several will be making their performing debut at the Grammys like Harry Styles, Megan Thee Stallion, Bad Bunny, DaBaby, Doja Cat, and Mickey Guyton.

“Artists will be coming together, while still safely apart, to play music for each other as a community and celebrate the music that unites us all,” according to the announcement.

The ceremony will be hosted by Trevor Noah and will be taking place “in and around” the Los Angeles Convention Center under COVID protocol. The audience will only consist of performers, nominees, and a small number of their guests.

The nominations were announced last year and Dua Lipa leads with five, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Album of the Year. Swift is going into the night with four, and Eilish and Beyoncé have three nominations.

Grammys Postpone Ceremony to March

Ariel H — Thu, 07 Jan 2021 06:06:12 +0000

Due to coronavirus-related concerns, the Grammy Awards have been postponed to March 14.

“After thoughtful conversations with health experts, our host and artists scheduled to appear, we are rescheduling the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards to be broadcast Sunday, March 14, 2021,” a statement reads.

The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah is scheduled to host the ceremony, which was supposed to take place on January 31. The move isn’t entirely unexpected because for months the Grammys have been dealing with complications with staging the award show that usually has an audience of 18,000-plus people and is self-billed as “Music’s Biggest Night” during the pandemic.

In September Harvey Mason jr., Chair & Interim President/CEO of the Recording Academy, told Variety that the initial plan was to hold the event at Staples Center in Los Angeles with a limited or no audience. In late November he said the show would take place “in and around Downtown Los Angeles,” which opened the possibility that performances would be staged from multiple venues.

Nominations for the Grammys were announced in late November and Beyoncé leads the pack with nine, followed by six for Taylor Swift, Roddy Ricch, and Dua Lipa. Brittany Howard, of Alabama Shakes fame, has five, and Billie Eilish, Megan Thee Stallion, DaBaby, Phoebe Bridgers, Justin Bieber, jazz pianist John Beasley, and classical producer David Frost were nominated with four.

Demi Lovato Returns to the Spotlight with Emotional New Song “Anyone”

Nikoleta P — Wed, 29 Jan 2020 05:53:43 +0000

Demi Lovato delivered one of the most heart wrenching and powerful live performances at this year’s Grammy Awards and proudly made an epic comeback in front of the whole world with her emotional and deeply personal new song “Anyone.”

Lovato’s voice started cracking at the very beginning of her performance, but she persisted and delivered the rest of her new ballad while on the verge of tears. It was her first live performance since summer 2018 when she took a break from music following devastating overdose.

The former Disney star discussed her return to the spotlight with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1 before sharing her new single with the world. This song was written only four days before her personal tragedy, and she saw it as a “cry for help” but still couldn’t wait to share it with the world.

“I feel really excited and I’m ready. I feel like I’ve been waiting for this moment for so long… Like I just want to go up there and tell my story. And it’s only telling a fraction of my story, but it’s still a little bit, and it’s enough to kind of show the world where I’ve been,” Lovato shared.
