The sixty -sixth annual Grammy Awards were distinguished with the great winners. Its host? Not much
The award season is a dessert store of magic and stellar scattering for some. For others, it is a disappointing exercise, especially if these provisions are based on many of the prizes that have been broadcast since the epidemic.
Grammys is an exception, in any small part due to the Pep Trevor Noah brought as its host. Instead of pretending that from the outside mocks the jokes falling at the expense of the stars, Noah is a fan – this man is excited like people watching at home, and sometimes like Starstruck, although he was walking between them.
This is good, especially during the sixteenth annual Grammy Awards ceremony on Sunday and its fifth round with Noah like Grammys Emcee. He made the same offer that paid his previous efforts, albeit with an addition to the seriousness of the seriousness. The Sunday concert at Arena Crypto.com was not a typical self -exercise. It doubled as a sophisticated praise of the city of suffering.
Even a decent award show can suffer from amazing writing.
Noah said in the opening match: “As usual, we come to you to live from Los Angeles, but what is unusual is our circumstances this evening.” “Just a few weeks ago, we were not sure. This show will happen. I mean, you don’t need to tell you that, but this city has passed one of the largest natural disasters in American history.”
This is the position of Noah in a difficult situation – he had to maintain the light of his existence, raise lives and present the message. In some respects, it was not difficult to do this given the strength of the stars at his disposal. 2024 It was a striking year for pop music and artistic fluctuations. Noah invited many of them in Monolujah, including Billy Illish and her brother Fenias and Lapel Rowan.
He said: “Stevi Wanshir wrote and recorded here the greatest album ever:” Steve Winers has written the greatest album ever: “Songs in the key to life.” “Los Angeles was the city where Snoop was mixed with the first gene and juice, and the hip hop was not the same.”
Even a decent award show can suffer from amazing writing.
But The True Hollywood Flair Telegraphed is one of the largest wins of the night, as the La Hoadown Kendrick Lamar champion with five grams for “Not Like Us”, including the year record and the year of the year. This is five grams for Diss Path About a competitor, Drake.
Lamar’s success was outperforming (only a little, some may say) by Beyonce’s album “Copui Carter” for the year in Long finally, becoming the first black woman to win a higher prize in the twenty -first and fourth century only in the history of Grammy after Natalie after Natalie after Natalie Cole, Whitney Houston and Lauren Hill.
“Cowboy Carter” also won the best Country album, which is a worthy picky after it was completely equipped by the Rural Music Association Awards, and overcame the dominance of Taylor Swift in this category. What is fun in this is that for a while no one was sure whether Beyonce or any other Carters would appear. In the end, they did it – at the right time of Kennah Bay to extract her first statue at night.
Noah, who was born in South Africa, knows something about the experience of migrants and could have been strategic and accurate in treating mass deportation threats.
With all this in playing, not to mention a flood of electric live offers and an unusual praise of Queens Jones, the lack of excitement will be the safe step for a host in Noah’s position. No one was adjusted – not when she promised Sabrina Carpetter, Charli XCX and Doechii (who became the third woman to win the best Rap Grammy), nothing about the myths of the industry that she also attends.
But the timing of this grammys is unusual for reasons, regardless of destroyed fires. This is the first major prize for the second distance from Donald Trump, and the opening law of this administration has been distinguished through horrific attacks on immigrants and transgender people, diversity, fairness and integration.
You had to expect the famous musicians, including artists who were born in protest and talked about the marginalized, to talk out loud about some of these issues.
Noah, who was born in South Africa, knows something about the experience of migrants and could have been strategic and accurate in treating mass deportation threats. Instead, a common edge has lost, explaining to the new arrivals that Grammy honors the best in the music that was voted by 13,000 members of the Registration Academy, “and 20 million illegal immigrants!”
DOECII, who was captured in the frame as Noah, did not look fun.
This was not improved so much when Noah made her personal: “I don’t know if you have noticed, there were some changes in Washington. I will enjoy the night, because this may be the last time I host anything in this country.”

Other people did better.
“This is not the time to close the diversity of the voices that we saw at this stage,” Alicia Keys announced that he accepted the Dr. Dre International Award. “Dei is not a threat, it’s a gift. More sounds, and strongest sound. When the destructive forces try to burn us, we rise from ash like Phoenix, and as you see tonight, music is the unmunenged language and that binds us all.”
“I just want to say tonight that people are not visible,” said Lady Gaga, and Bruneo Mars said. Queer community deserves to be raised. “
Before that, Chapell Roan achieved its best victory for a new victory to keep a promise to itself: “I told myself that if I ever won Grammy and disobeyed here in front of the strongest people in music, I will ask these stickers in the industry that benefits millions of dollars from artists It will provide wages and health care for living, especially for developing artists.
The singer continued to remember a low point early in her career when she was dropped by the teenager’s sign in 2020, leaving her unemployed and without health insurance during the epidemic. She said: “If I give my first brand, I may be provided with care by a company that I was giving it everything.”
All of these strong ads were welcome to delicious applause, as expected. But if you are the bridge between a person who takes a political position and turns the audience’s attention to the relief of the wildfire, I feel you.
Noah was not always at the level of this task, as we saw in the moments that followed the call to wake up from Rawan when he was walking on the stage seemed to stare in the sun.
“A man. I even don’t know what to say,” he started, and proved that this is true by continuing to speak. “This is amazing. With this spirit, I just want to remember everyone that tonight is not only related to receiving prizes. It is also about returning. I love what Chapel said there. It was very beautiful …” at a later time, we were thrown into a shock from the footage Los Angeles looks like the end of days.
But then, Noah was often horrific, expressing some of the flavor “this amazing” or free about a “strong” message.

Is this criticism from Grammys, which Noah described as “what is Valentine’s Day for Romance, and Father’s Day is Nick Canon”, from being colored and sick? barely.
The producers have committed this electronic broadcast completely as my dedication in the city and its role in the past and the present for music, using the attention you will do to collect donations for Fire Musicares relief. But he also brought the heart and spirit of Los Angeles to the evening, where he set out with Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith from Dos, who performed Angelno Randy Newman, “I am Lab”, backed by a super collection consisting of John Astoura, Brittany Howard, Sherrill Crowe, St. Vincent, and Brad Paisley.
Later, Mars, Lady Gaga operated a copy of “California Dreamin”, where Stephanie Girmanota wore a crochet cover and a wild dress and went to the outside with anesthetic lean.
One of the living works was the carpenter who was wandering on its way through a mixture of “espresso” and “Please, please merge Hollywood with a sparkle with jazz and screaming club, because it pretended to stumble through fallen pillars and treasury. What Noah found, guessed, “amazing”. “Funny, which I did not appreciate,” he added. “Do you also do a funny, Sabrina? Do you really take my job like this?”
Perhaps not any time soon, because the reason for making performances is to focus on the music that leads the play. Perhaps if Noah is asked to host again, it will rise. But after the year 2024, it was difficult and the year of attrition that was in January, his novel from PAR was the stable power that focuses on the technology challenge that shakes the air around it.
