The Grammys this Sunday seemed to be a lot about Lady GaGa. Not only did her 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper air, but during the hour timeslot before the Grammys began, she appeared (well, not really) in a giant egg carried by dancers, and when asked about the reason she was in an egg, her creative director/choreographer Laurieann Gibson told Ryan Seacrest that she was incubating for her performance later in the night of her new single, Born This Way. This seems to be her weekend, being that on Friday she released her new single to the World and in less than 24 hours it became #1 on iTunes in 23 countries. Her Grammy performance was no disappointment, showing her new look, tight dance moves, and even included a short organ interlude. Overshining everyone with her antics, she even walked away with 3 awards: Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Bad Romance" , Best Pop Vocal Album for "The Fame Monster" and Best Short Form Music Video for "Bad Romance".
UPDATE: This is the OFFICIAL YouTube of the Performance.
Another notable performance that I loved was the tribute to Aretha Franklin done by Yolanda Adams, Christina Aguilera, Martina McBride, Jennifer Hudson and Florence of Florence and the Machine. After singing "Natural Woman" together, Christina redeemed herself from her Super Bowl Star Spangled Banner fumble singing "Ain't No Way", and obviously shined as the star of the performance.
Other notable performances included Rihanna with Eminem, Dr.Dre and Skylar Grey in a performance of "Love the Way You Lie Pt. 2 / I Need a Doctor", Katy Perry singing "Not Like the Movies/ Teenage Dream" with a Valentine's Day theme and Cee-Lo Green and Gywneth Paltrow singing "Forget You" with the Muppets.
