Si sono conclusi da pochi minuti i Grammy Awards 2015! Andiamo ad analizzare la lista dei vincitori!
Trionfo di Sam Smith, per lui 4 Grammy, tra cui quello per il Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best New Artist, e Pop Vocal Album! Segue la sempre impressionante Beyoncé quota 3 Grammy, il suo totale generale è di 20 Grammys!
Anche per Pharrell Williams sono 3 i Grammy conquistati quest’anno! Il cantante di “Happy” ha sbancato con il suo tormentone ed il suo album “G I R L”.
2 Grammy per Beck, che a sorpresa vince il riconoscimento per l’album of the year. Lady Gaga con Tony Bennett vincono con “Cheek To Cheek”, come pure Christina Aguilera torna a vincere grazie al brano “Say Something”. Nessun premio per Katy Perry, che rimane una popstar assolutamente popolare a livello commerciale, ma invisibile per la Recording Academy.
A bocca asciutta anche Sia, che con la sua “Chandelier” era stata nominata diverse volte. Stesso crudele destino per la rapper australiana Iggy Azalea, a quota 0 premi vinti nonostante le diverse nominations!
Sorpresa anche in ambito R&B, con l’album dell’anno che va a Toni Braxton e Babyface per il loro “Love, Marriage & Divorce”!
Sulla scena HipHop vediamo due leaders, Eminem per il miglior album, e la miglior collabo in “The Monster” con Rihanna, e Kendrick Lamar per Best Rap Performance e Song.
Insomma, non sono mancati i colpi di scena, e molte previsioni sono state stravolte anche quest’anno, l’unica certezza è che abbiamo un grande nuovo nome nel mondo della musica: Sam Smith…
