Grammy Awards 2017 | Δείτε τη λίστα των νικητών!

Τα 59α μουσικά βραβεία Grammy είναι γεγονός…

Venue: Staples Center στο Los Angeles. Παρουσιαστής: James Corden. Event: 59α Μουσικά Βραβεία Grammy… ήταν όλα και όλοι έτοιμοι (ή σχεδόν όλοι)!

Για ακόμα μία χρονιά μεγάλα ονόματα του διεθνές ρεπερτορίου παρέλασαν από την σκηνή, όπου πραγματοποιήθηκαν τα μουσικά βραβεία Grammy. Η αγωνία μεγάλη για τους μεγάλους νικητές…αλλά και για το ποιοι θα είναι οι φετινοί ηττημένοι. Live εμφανίσεις και ουκ ολίγες ακαταμάχητες δηλώσεις έδωσαν το παρόν στο κατάμεστο Staples Center του Los Angeles, με παρουσιαστή της βραδιάς τον James Corden, δίνοντας τον καλύτερό του εαυτό και παρουσιάζοντάς τα για πρώτη φορά.

Θεαματική η είσοδός του…δεν μπορείτε να πείτε, ε;

Πέρα από τις απαστράπτουσες εμφανίσεις, πολλοί κάνουν λόγο για μία τελετή, όπου ο πολιτικός λόγος έδωσε και πήρε. Πράγμα το οποίο δεν έχει συμβεί ξανά στο παρελθόν. Εύλογη τοποθέτηση αν σκεφτεί κανείς τα κοινωνικά δρώμενα και τις τελευταίες αλλαγές που έχουν προκύψει στο πολιτικό προσκήνιο της Αμερικής. Ένα προσκήνιο για το οποίο δεν έλειψαν και οι δηλώσεις από μεγάλα ονόματα (βλ. Beyoncé).

Περνώντας, όμως, στα δικά μας η προαναφερθείσα ξεκίνησε με εννέα υποψηφιότητες, τρεις εκ των οποίων ήταν και το “Album of the Year”, “Song of the Year” και “Record of the Year”.  Παρά, λοιπόν, τις φιλότιμες προσπάθειες με τον δίσκο “Lemonade” και το single της “Formation”, η Beyoncé κατέληξε να είναι η loser of the year… Και στις τρεις κατηγορίες, η Adele ήταν αυτή που έλαμψε και τελικά έπιασαν τόπο τα δάκρυα που ρίξαμε με το “Hello” και το album της “25”. Λόγος δεν θα μπορούσε να μην γίνει και για το βραβείο του “Best New Artist”, το οποίο δόθηκε στον hip-hop artist, Chance the Rapper.

Η απώλεια του David Bowie και του George Michael ήταν δύο γεγονότα που συγκλόνισαν το παγκόσμιο κοινό. Για τον Bowie, όμως, η τιμή ήταν να κερδίσει τέσσερα βραβεία Grammy, περιλαμβανομένου και του βραβείου “Best Alternative Music Album” για τον δίσκο του “Blackstar” που κυκλοφόρησε λίγες ημέρες πριν μας αποχαιρετήσει στις αρχές του 2016. Από την άλλη, η “τιμή” για τον George Michael δόθηκε από την μεγάλη νικήτρια της βραδιάς, Adele, η οποία ερμηνεύοντας το “Fastlove” ήλπιζε να μην είχε κάνει το λάθος να μπερδευτεί ζωντανά επί σκηνής…

 

Έχοντας, λοιπόν, συμβεί όλα τα παραπάνω κι ακόμα περισσότερα, ας δούμε τους νικητές της βραδιάς, όπως κατέληξαν στην 59η Απονομή των Βραβείων Grammy.
