As a music fanatic, I did watch this evening's Grammy Awards. I was anticipating some of the performances, and I simply wanted to see how some of the music stars were looking! It was an entertaining event!

The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards were broadcast from The Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. As with every Grammy presentation, a host of music stars and various celebrities were on hand to witness the evening's festivities. It was quite entertaining to see the stars all in peaceful and pleasant celebration of the recent works that they have presented!

Of course, several artists received several different awards. I could not go through all of them, but some did catch my attention! I was very pleased with Beyonce, as she is doing a phenomenal job as a true musical superstar! The sensous songstress scored six Grammys, which tied her for the record for a female singer! She was on point, performing Halo during the show!

Taylor Swift was great, winning for Grammys! Her album Fearless won the award for Album of the Year! We did get to hear the title song, Fearless.

Other Grammy highlights included Maxwell doing a duet with Roberta Flack. These artists of different generations came together to sing her classic song, Where Is the Love. It did sound nice, as each of them has a good sound with their individual songs. Their duet was accompanied by others, including one with Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli. These superstars sang Bridge Over Troubled Water as part of a continued effort to raise funds for Haiti relief.

A touching tribute was given to the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson. His children, Paris and Prince Michael, accepted the Lifetime Achievement Award in honor of their father. I believe that they received a rousing ovation that was meant to honor Michael.

A tribute song to Michael Jackson was performed, also! Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood sang a duet to honor him. These ladies were joined by Celine Dion, Smokey Robinson, and Usher. Together, they sang Jackson's Earth Song!

It was an entertaining show! I really enjoy music, and it was good to see the various contemporary singers gathering for a celebration of their successes. Also, it was a true plus to see them putting some of their trememdous and collective wealth to a greater cause. Many of them will be donating, and spending time with charity programs for Haiti Relief.
