Grammys kick off in grand fashion
  It was a night of pure GRAMMY gold for R&B songstress Beyoncé, who
picked up six wins, a record for a female artrist, at the 52nd Annual
GRAMMY Awards, including Song Of The Year, Best Female Pop Vocal
Performance, Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best Traditional R&B
Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song, and Best Contemporary R&B Album.
Country sensation Taylor Swift was the evening’s runner-up with an
impressive four GRAMMY wins, including taking Album Of The Year for
Fearless, besting Beyoncé.
Black Eyed Peas and Kings Of Leon won three GRAMMYs each, the latter
picking up the coveted Record Of The Year for “Use Somebody.” Picking up
two GRAMMYs each were Eminem, banjo maestro Béla Fleck, composer Michael
Giacchino, Lady Gaga, Maxwell, Jason Mraz, and conductor Michael Tilson
Thomas.
And in an evening of spirited, sometimes joyous performances, the
broadcast’s more reflective moments might have been its most memorable.
Following a star-studded tribute to Michael Jackson, the King of Pop’s
children appeared, brave-faced and in armbands, to accept an award on
his behalf.
