Overall, I liked this year’s Grammys. Adele swept with 6 wins followed by Kanye West who won four. The only Grammys I seriously had problems with Skrillex picking up so many especially since I feel like Robyn got snubbed. Yes, dubstep is the trend but honestly, I feel like his music is completely overrated and someone (Robyn) got overlooked because of this trend. And then Chris Brown’s win bothered me. He was completely undeserving of it for so many reasons. The performances were a bit bland but here’s a countdown of my top 5 favorite Grammy performances and my top 5 least favorite.
Top Favorite Performances:
- “Roman Holiday” - Nicki Minaj
- “Runaway Baby” - Bruno Mars
- “Rolling in the Deep” - Adele

Least Favorite Performances:
