1
GOOD EVENING, EVERYBODY, AND
WELCOME TO THE 65th ANNUAL
GRAMMY AWARDS.
MY NAME IS TREVOR NOAH, AND FOR
THE FIRST TIME IN THREE YEARS,
WE ARE COMING TO YOU LIVE FROM
LOS ANGELES.
THE BEST CITY IN THE WORLD IF
YOU IGNORE A FEW OTHER CITIES.
TONIGHT, YOU ARE IN FOR A
SPECIAL TREAT AS SOME OF THE
MOST PHENOMENAL ARTISTS ON EARTH
ARE GOING TO BE PERFORMING IN
THIS BUILDING RIGHT BEHIND ME.
AND THE RECORDING ACADEMY IS
GOING TO BE GIVING AWAY THE
BIGGEST SURPRISE IN ALL OF
MUSIC, THE GRAMMY AWARD.
SO, LET'S GET STRAIGHT INTO IT.
TO KICK THINGS OFF ON MUSE'S
BIGGEST NIGHT A GRAMMY-WINNING
GLOBAL FORCE WHO IS THE MOSSTREAMED AND LISTENED TO ARTISIN THE WORLD WITH THREE
NOMINATIONS THIS YEAR INCLUDING
ALBUM OF THE YEAR "BIENVENIDO,"
BAD BUNNY!
OH, HEY.
GIVE IT UP FOR BAD BUNNY,
EVERYBODY!
WOW!
WOW, THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO
HIM, I GET HIPS I NEVER KNEW I
HAD.
IT MAKES TRUMP WANT TO LEARN
SPANISH.
THAT'S WHAT IT DOES.
THIS IS IT, PEOPLE!
WELCOME TO THE GRAMMYS,
EVERYBODY!
WELCOME TO IT.
WE MADE IT.
WE'RE BACK!
AND I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE BACK
AS YOUR HOST TONIGHT.
MY JOB IS TO BE YOUR EYES, YOUR
EARS.
I'LL BE FLOATING AROUND THIS AM
RADIO.
THINK OF ME LIKE A CHINESE SPY
BALLOON.
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW.
GATHERING ALL THE INFORMATION
YOU WANT.
JUST LOOK AT ALL THE FACES.
WE GOT THE BEST MUSICIANS, THE
BEST PERFORMERS, BEST PRODUCERS
IN THE WORLD.
EVERY SONG ON TIKTOK THAT YOU
HEAR, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO MADE
THEM.
THIS IS THEM.
AND WHEN I SAY WE HAVE THE
BIGGEST NAMES, I MEAN THE
BIGGEST NAMES IN THE ROOM.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
LL COOL J, MADURO IN THE ROOM.
LOOK AT THIS ROOM.
IT'S INSANE!
IT'S THE WHO'S WHO'S EVERYBODY.
WE GOT QUEST AND THE GANG.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?
WE GOT BEYONCE'S IN THE ROOM,
PEOPLE.
YOU UNDERSTAND HOW AMAZING THIS
IS RIGHT NOW?
YOU UNDERSTAND, BEYONCE IS
NOMINATED FOR HER ALBUM
"RENAISSANCE," WHICH, BY THE WAY
WAS BETTER THAN ANYTHING FROM
THE ACTUAL RENAISSANCE, IN MY
OPINION.
THE RENAISSANCE WAS JUSPICTURES OF GRAPES AND STUFF.
BEYONCE TOOK IT UP ANOTHER
LEVEL.
IN FACT, I WAS SO INSPIRED BY
THE LYRICS OF "BREAK MY SOUL,"
THAT I ACTUALLY QUIT MY JOB.
THAT'S HOW POWERFUL THAT WAS.
I JUST WISH BEYONCE HAD ALSO
WRITTEN TABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
HAVING SAVINGS BEFORE YOU QUIYOUR JOB.
HARRY STYLES IS TONIGHT,
EVERYBODY!
THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THIS MAN
THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID?
INCREDIBLE ALBUM,
MIND-BLOWING... WHAT IS I15-NIGHT RUN AT MSG AND THE
FORUM?
WOMEN THROW THEIR PANTIES ATHIS MAN AND THEN HE PUTS THEM
ON AND HE LOOKS BETTER IN THEM
THAN THEY DO.
EASILY THE WORLD'S SEXIEST MAN.
SEX SYMBOL OF THE GLOBE,
ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THEY KILLED
OFF THE GREEN M&M.
THIS IS THE ROOM, PEOPLE.
WE GOT L.A.'S VERY OWN KENDRICK
LAMAR JOINING US IN THE
BUILDING.
THE MAN IS SUPER TALENTED.
HE'S GOT GRAMMYS.
HIS ALBUM WAS A THERAPY SESSION
THAT EARNED HIM MULTIPLE GRAMMY
NOMINATIONS.
ALL MY GOT ME WAS HELPING ME
OVERCOME MY CHILDHOOD TRAUMA.
USELESS.
FOR NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT TRAUMA.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUTHERAPY.
FROM COMPTON'S FINEST ALL THE
WAY TO BROOKLYN'S FINEST.
THAT'S RIGHT, JAY-Z'S GOING TO
BE IN THE HOUSE WITH US.
JAY-Z'S GOING TO BE PERFORMING.
IT'S GOING TO BE SO SPECIAL.
AND I'M OOH LOOKING FORWARD TO
IT BECAUSE JAY-Z COULD'VE BEEN
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TONIGHT.
BUT HE'S HERE WITH US, AND I
APPRECIATE THAT.
LIZZO'S JOINING US.
THAT'S LIZZO OVER THERE.
OH, I SEE YOU, LIZZO.
LOOK AT THAT SMILE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYTHING,
THE TV SHOWS, TAKING OVER THE
WORLD, KILLING THE HATERS ON
INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER.
I LOVE IT.
THE MOST FAMOUS FLUTE PLAYER IN
THE WORLD SINCE I'M SURE THERE
WERE OTHERS... BUT YOU KNOW WHAI MEAN.
AND YOU WANT TO STICK AROUND
BECAUSE LIZZO IS PERFORMING
TONIGHT AT EXACTLY "BAD B...
O'CLOCK."
I'VE NEVER SEEN A ROOM THIS
STACK.
TAYLOR SWIFT IS GOING TO BE WITH
US.
OH, SHE'S RIGHT THERE!
LOOK AT THIS.
SHE'S RIGHT THERE.
SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN ANY OTHER
HUMAN ON THE PLANET LAST YEAR.
THAT'S RIGHT.
MORE THAN ANYBODY.
THE ONLY MUSIC WE LISTEN TO MORE
THAN TAYLOR'S MUSIC WAS THE HOLD
MUSIC FOR SOUTHWEST AIRLINES.
THEY'VE GOT THE REAL STREAMING
NUMBERS.
AND I LOVE YOUR SONG "ANTIHERO."
MY ANTI-IS ALSO A HERO.
HER NAME IS BEATRICE.
WE'VE GOT SO MANY INCREDIBLE
GREATS PERFORMING TONIGHT.
EVERYONE FROM STEVIE WONDER TO
KASEY MUSGRAVES.
WE'VE GOT FROM BONNIE RAITT TO
LIL WAYNE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ANY OF
IT.
EVERY GENERATION, EVERY GENRE.
TONIGHT MY JOB IS JUST TO BE THE
HOST, THE BEST HOST I CAN BE.
AND TO DO THAT I TRY AND LEARN
WHAT EVERYBODY'S INTO.
I TRY AND KNOW MY GUESTS.
FOR INSTANCE, I KNOW THAT LL
COOL J REALLY LOVES BREAKFASCEREALS.
I KNOW THAT CARDI B IS OBSESSED
WITH PRESIDENTS.
THAT'S A REAL THING.
I ALSO KNOW THAT ADELE LOVES
TEA.
HER VEGAS SHOW IS PHENOMENAL.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE STRANGESTHINGS I FOUND OUT.
THE PERSON THAT ADELE HAS ALWAYS
WANTED TO MEET BUT NEVER HAVE IS
DWAYNE JOHNSON.
YOU'VE NEVER MET HIM.
YEAH.
AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT HE'S A
HUGE FAN OF YOURS, TOO.
AND I DON'T HAVE DWAYNE JOHNSON
HERE TONIGHT, BUT I DO HAVE
SOMEONE CALLED "THE ROCK."
ADELE, MEET THE ROCK.
THE ROCK, MEET ADELE.
FIRST TIME EVER!
ALL RIGHT.
YOU TWO GET ACQUAINTED.
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THIS SHOW
MOVING.
NOW, BEFORE WE GET INTO OUR NEXPERFORMANCE, I WANTED TO LET YOU
KNOW THAT EARLIER TODAY AT THE
PRE-SHOW, THE PREMIERE CEREMONY,
BEYONCE WON TWO AWARDS WHICH
PUTS HER JUST TWO WIN AS WAY
FROM BREAKING THE ALL-TIME
RECORD OF HAVING THE MOST GRAMMY
WINS OF ANY INDIVIDUAL EVER.
EVER, PEOPLE!
TONIGHT WE COULD ALL WITNESS
HISTORY.
AND EVEN IF SHE DOESN'T BREAK
THE RECORD, SHE STILL GETS TO BE
BEYONCE, SO IT'S A WIN/WIN.
FOR THE 65th ANNUAL GRAMMY
AWARDS WE DECIDED TO DO
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING SOME OF
THE PEOPLE WHO'VE PLAYED BIG
PARTS IN OUR PERFORMER'S MUSICAL
SUCCESS STORIES AND THEIR LIVES
TO INTRODUCE THEM.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THE ARTISTS
WOULD THANK IF WE DIDN'T PLAY
THEM ALL AFTER 25 SECONDS.
HERE ARE THREE PEOPLE WHO
ARGUABLY LOVE HER EVEN MORE THAN
HER BIGGEST FANS.
HER WIFE CATHERINE AND THEIR
BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN ELIJAH AND
EVANGELINE.
MILLIONS OF YOU WATCHING
TONIGHT FELL IN LOVE WITH OUR
NEXT PERFORMER JUST FOUR YEARS
AGO WHEN SHE TOOK THE GRAMMY
STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND
DELIVERED ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC
PERFORMANCES IN GRAMMY HISTORY.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MARRY HER
MORE THAN A DECADE AGO, SO I WAS
WAY AHEAD OF YOU.
IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME TO
STAND HERE TONIGHT WITH OUR TWO
BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS BY MY SIDE,
AND INTRODUCE, IN OUR HUMBLE
OPINION, ONE OF THE GREATEST,
MOST AUTHENTIC ARTISTS AND HUMAN
BEINGS ON THE PLANET.

PERFORMANCES BY STEVIE WONDER,

VIOLA DAVIS AND SHANIA TWAIN
PRESENT GRAMMY AWARDS.
AND LATER, AN ALL-STAR SALUTE TO
WELCOME BACK TO THE
65th ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS,
COMING TO YOU FROM THE
CRYPTO.COM ARENA, THE ONLY ARENA
WITH AN ESCAPE PLAN TO THE
BAHAMAS.
NOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING A
CLOSER LOOK AT ONE OF THE MOSCOMPETITIVE CATEGORIES IN GRAMMY
HISTORY.
OUR NOMINEES FOR ALBUM OF THE
YEAR.
AND WHO BETTER TO HELP US WITH
THAT THAN THE FANS THEMSELVES?
YOU SEE, THIS WEEK THEY'VE BEEN
DISCUSSING WHO DESERVES TO TAKE
HOME MUSIC'S BIGGEST PRIZE.
AND IT TURNS OUT IT'S A LOEASIER TO HEAR WHAT THE FANS ARE
SAYING WHEN THERE AREN'T 20,000
OF THEM SCREAMING IN A STADIUM.
TAKE A LOOK.
OKAY, IT'S TIME TO TALK ALBUM
OF THE YEAR.
BEYONCE'S "RENAISSANCE" GAVE US
LOVE, JOY, DANCE.
IT GAVE US ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THESE
PAST COUPLE YEARS.
BUT IT ALSO GAVE US THE STRENGTH
TO KEEP GOING.
I'M ALICIA, AND YOU KNOW
"RENAISSANCE" IS ALBUM OF THE
YEAR.
YOU PUT THIS SONG ON!
YEAH!
THESE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF
MY LIFE HAVE NOT BEEN EASY.
"RENAISSANCE" JUST GIVES ME THAMOTIVATION TO KEEP GOING.
I FELT LIKE BEYONCE WROTE THE
SONG "CHURCH GIRL" SPECIFICALLY
FOR ME.
IT JUST SPEAKS TO THE DUALITY OF
BEING MORE THAN ONE THING.
YOU CAN BE SPIRITUAL, BUT YOU
ALSO NEED TO TURN UP.
SHE'S NOT TELLING US WHAT'S OUTHERE.
SHE'S SETTING THE TRENDS AND
TELLING US WHAT NEEDS TO BE OUTHERE.
AND THAT IS JOY, THAT IS HAPPY
AES.
LIKE, YOU PUT THAT ALBUM ON
FRONT TO BACK, NO SKIPS.
YOU GET UP, YOU DANCE.
COME ON...
YOU WON'T BREAK MY SOUL
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.
I TRULY DON'T EVEN THINK
THERE IS EVEN AN ARGUMENBECAUSE BAD BUNNY IS THE MOSSTREAMED ALBUM OF THE YEAR ON
THE GLOBE.
HI, I'M NATALIA.
THE ALBUM BY BAD BUNNY IS THE
ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT "BENITO."
I LOVE THAT HE'S PLAYFUL.
I LOVE THAT HE'S GOOFY.
HE HAS A MOTTO THAT IS...
WHICH MEANS, I DO WHATEVER I
WANT, I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE
THINK.
HE DRESSES UP IN DRAG.
HE KISSES HIS BACKUP DANCERS OF
ANY GENDER.
DISMANTLING MACHISMO.
AS A QUEER LATINO WOMAN THIS IS
SO IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE HE IS
STARTING CONVERSATIONS AND
NORMALIZING INCLUSIVITY.
BAD BUNNY PLAYS BY HIS OWN
RULES, AND HE'S JUST OPENING UP
THE DIALOGUE.
THIS ALBUM IS BREAKING SO MANY
RECORDS.
AND IT'S JUST SHOWING THE WORLD
JUST THE POWER OF
SPANISH-SPEAKING MUSIC.
HE IS BEING HIMSELF, AND SO MANY
PEOPLE ARE RESONATING WITH HIM.
HE IS THE MOST STREAMED ARTISON THE GLOBE.
THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES,
HARRY!
BUT BAD BUNNY DOES IT BETTER.
I LOVE BAD BUNNY ALSO.
BUT GUESS WHERE HE WAS LASNIGHT?
AT HARRY STYLES' CONCERT.
MY NAME IS REINA, AND HARRY'S
HOUSE BY HARRY STYLES IS THE
ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
SO MY 78-YEAR-OLD GRANDMOTHER
HAPPENS TO BE HARRY STYLES'
NUMBER ONE FAN.
SO WE ARE FLYING TO LOS ANGELES
TO SEE HIM IN CONCERT.
LET ME TELL YOU WHY I LIKE
HARRY STYLES.
ASIDE FROM BEING GOOD-LOOKING,
WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUTHAT.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.
I LIKE HIS OUTLOOK, HIS SONGS.
AND WITH HARRY, HE HAS THATHING THAT DRAWS PEOPLE TO HIM.
IF THE GRAMMYS DID THEIR JOB, HE
IS GETTING THAT AWARD.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS
IT.
EVERYBODY'S STILL COMING IN.
COME ON THROUGH, Y'ALL.
LET'S GET THE PEOPLE IN.
WE'LL GET EVERYBODY TO THEIR
SEATS.
THIS IS LIVE.
THIS IS WHAT'S HAPPENING.
ARTISTS ARE COMING IN.
TRAFFIC IS HOLDING PEOPLE BACK.
I'M HERE WITH SOME OF THE FANS.
GIVE IT UP FOR THE FANS,
EVERYBODY.
GIVE IT UP FOR ALL THE FANS
JOINING US HERE,
SUPPORTING THEIR ARTISTS FOR
ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
REINA, YOU MUST BE REALLY
EXCITED BECAUSE HARRY JUST WON
THE FIRST AWARD OF THE NIGHT.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING?
EXCITED.
I'VE BEEN CRYING.
I FEEL LIKE IF YOU
HAD YOUR WAY, HE WOULD WIN ALL
THE AWARDS.
EXACTLY.
EVERY SINGLE ONE?
ON SO YOU WOULDN'T FULFILL HIM
LOSING TWO OR THREE JUST FOR
SOMEBODY ELSE?
NO.
WOW, I THOUGHGRANNIES WERE NICE.
LOOK, I KNOW THIS IS AN AMAZING
PLACE TO BE.
IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME THE
GRAMMYS, YOU'RE HERE SUPPORTING
YOUR ARTIST, EVERYBODY'S
EXCITED.
HARRY'S SITTING CLOSE, BUT I
NEED YOU TO STAY RIGHT HERE.
I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO TACKLE
A DWGRANNY ON LIVE TV AGAIN.
ALL RIGHT.
IT'S TIME FOR US TO GET BACK TO

OFFICIALLY AN EGOT.

"R&B IS NOT A FAD, IT'S THE

THOSE WERE THE WORDS OF A
SOULFUL QUEEN WHO KNEW WHAT SHE

BUT YOU KNOW THE UPSIDE OF
HOSTING THE GRAMMYS IN L.A. IS

PERFORMANCE BY DJ KHALED AND
JAY-Z.
TO PRESENT THE
GRAMMY FOR BEST RAP ALBUM,
GRAMMY WINNER CARDI B!
HI.
THIS YEAR WE'RE CELEBRATING
THE FIRST 50 YEARS OF HIP-HOP.
HERE ARE SOME ARTISTS WHO ARE
GOING TO HELP KEEP THE NEX50 JUST AS INTERESTING.
THESE ARE THE EXCELLENT NOMINEES
FOR BEST RAP ALBUM.
"GOD DID," DJ KHALED.
"I NEVER LIKED YOU," FUTURE.
"COME HOME THE KIDS MISS YOU,"
JACK HARLOW.
"MR. MORALE & THE BIG STEPPERS,"
KENDRICK LAMAR.
"IT'S ALMOST DRY," PUSHA T.
OH, SNAP!
AND THE GRAMMY GOES TO...
I'M SCARED.
KENDRICK LAMAR!
THEY GOT CUTE AS HECK WITH THESE
TABLES.
GOT THE WINE.
I LIKE IT.
NO, FIRST AND FOREMOST, I WANTO THANK MY FAMILY FOR GIVING ME
THE COURAGE, YOU KNOW, AND THE
VULNERABILITY TO SHARE THESE
STORIES AND SHARE MY TRUTH WITH
THIS ALBUM.
THAT'S FIRST AND FOREMOST.
I WANT TO THANK...
THAT'S RIGHT.
I WANT TO THANK MY FANS FOR
TRUSTING ME WITH THESE WORDS,
YOU KNOW?
YEAH.
YOU KNOW, AS ARTISTS, WE ALL SAY
THINGS TO PROVOKE THOUGHTS AND
FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS.
SO MAKING THIS RECORD... THIS IS
ONE OF MY TOUGHEST RECORDS TO
MAKE.
AND IT ALLOWED ME TO DO THAT AND
ALLOWED ME TO SHARE OTHER
PEOPLE'S EXPERIENCES.
GOING BACK AND THINKING BACK
WHERE I STARTED WITH RAPPING,
HOW FAR I CAME, I WOULD LIKE TO
THANK THE CULTURE FOR ALLOWING
ME TO EVOLVE IN ORDER TO MAKE A
SONG.
LIKE "MOTHER I'M SOBER."
THAT'S SPECIAL TO ME.
THE BIGGEST UNDERGROUND ARTISTS
OF ALL TIME, AND I FINALLY FOUND
IMPERFECTION WITH THIS.
SO I APPRECIATE Y'ALL, I LOVE
Y'ALL.
CONGRATULATIONS TO
KENDRICK LAMAR.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT,
MUSIC IS MADE UP OF FOUR KEY
ELEMENTS.
RHYTHM, BEATS, MELODY, AND
HARMONY.
AND I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUTHAT LAST ONE A LOT THIS PASYEAR, HARMONY.
DIFFERENT NOTES COMING TOGETHER
IN A MOMENT TO MAKE SOMETHING
MORE BEAUTIFUL.
SO MUCH DIVIDES US RIGHT NOW,
BUT MUSIC IS ABOUT UNITING US
THROUGH OUR DIFFERENCES.
IT'S BLACK KIDS AND WHITE KIDS
REJECTING SEGREGATION IN THE
1950s, AND INSTEAD BLENDING R&B,
COUNTRY, AND EVEN GOSPEL INTO
ROCK AND ROLL.
IN THE 1980s, A YOUNG BLACK
RAPPER FROM QUEENS AND A JEWISH
WHITE KID IN HIS NYU DORM CAME
TOGETHER TO MAKE SOME OF THE
GREATEST HIP-HOP OF ALL TIME.
THEY MADE A POWERFUL NEW SOUND
TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY WERE
DIFFERENT.
YOU SEE, MUSIC ISN'T JUST THE
HARMONY OF SOUND, IT'S THE
HARMONY OF HUMAN BEINGS, OF
DIFFERENT RACES, GENDERS,
RELIGIONS, IDENTITIES, SEXUAL
ORIENTATIONS, KNOWING WE'RE
DIFFERENT BUT REJECTING DIVISION
TO FIND MOMENTS OF JOY AND UNITY
AND HARMONY.
AND THAT'S WHAT MUSIC IS ALL
ABOUT.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
CELEBRATING HERE TONIGHT.
NOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A
MOMENT TO REMEMBER SOME OF THE
GREAT PEOPLE IN MUSIC WE LOSTHIS YEAR AND REFLECT ON ALL OF
THE LIGHT THEY BROUGHT INTO OUR
LIVES.
WELL I WAS BORN

SAM SMITH AND KIM PETRAS ARE
ABOUT TO PERFORM "UNHOLY."
WELCOME BACK TO THE
65th ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS.
NOW, THIS IS TRULY EXCITING.
LATER TONIGHT RIGHT OUTSIDE THE
ARENA ON THE STREETS OF L.A., DJ
KHALED WILL BE PERFORMING HIS
GRAMMY-NOMINATED TRACK "GOD
DID," FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
AND, GET THIS, HE'LL BE JOINED
BY RICK ROSS, FRIDAYY, LIL
WAYNE, JOHN LEGEND, AND THE BIG
HOMIE HIMSELF, JAY-Z.
THEY WILL ALL BE OUT HERE
TOGETHER LATER ON IN THE SHOW.
AND I'VE SEEN THE REHEARSAL.
TRUST ME, YOU DO NOT WANT TO
MISS THIS.
NOW, TONIGHT WE'RE NOT JUSCELEBRATING MUSIC'S BIGGESSTARS.
WE'RE ALSO CELEBRATING MUSIC'S
BIGGEST FANS.
AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THE
STALKER ONES.
ONE LEVEL BELOW THAT.
SO IT'S TIME FOR THEM TO TAKE A
LOOK AT SOME MORE OF THE
NOMINEES FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
ALL RIGHT, Y'ALL, SO LIZZO
DESERVES ALBUM OF THE YEAR
BECAUSE OF HER ALBUM "SPECIAL."
HAVE YOU TRIED HER DANCE?
I DID.
YOU WANNA SEE IT?
BODY IMAGE IN GENERAL IS YOUR
BODY'S IMAGE.
YOU NEED TO LOVE AND ACCEPT IT.
AND SO SHE JUST GAVE ME LIKE THE
CONFIDENCE BOOST.
LIKE WHEN I'M GETTING DRESSED OR
READY TO GO OUT, SHE IS EXACTLY
WHO I TURN ON.
EVERY OTHER ARTIST TRIES TO
FIGURE OUT THE ALGORITHM OF HOW
TO GO VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
BUT LIZZO DOES IT TIME AND TIME
AGAIN, AND SHE DOES IT EXACTLY
ON THIS ALBUM.
PERIOD, THAT'S WHY SHE DESERVES
ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
AL I'M SAYING IS ADELE
DOESN'T NEED A DANCE TO GO VIRAL
ON TIKTOK.
MY NAME'S COLYN, AND "30"
DEFINITELY DESERVES ALBUM OF THE
YEAR.
I SAW HER RESIDENCY OVER WINTER
BREAK.
IT WAS THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER
SEEN.
SHE'LL GO UP THERE AND BELT TO
THIS SUPER SONG SAD THAT'LL HAVE
YOU TRY CRYING.
AND AS SOON AS THE SONG'S OVER,
YOU'RE STILL WIPING YOUR TEARS
AND SHE'LL START CUSSING AND
CRACKING JOKES AND HAVING YOU
LAUGHED.
SHE RANDOMLY DM'd ME AND SAID
SHE LOVED THAT I WAS A FAN, SHE
INVITED ME OUT TO L.A. FOR HER
MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE.
WHEN I MET HER, IT JUST FELLIKE WE HAD KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR
YEARS.
I WISH YOU GUYS LUCK.
BUT ADELE HAS BEEN NOMINATED 18
TIMES AND WON 15 OF THOSE 18.
SO THAT'S HER ALBUM OF THE YEAR
RIGHT THERE.
I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE.
BRANDI CARLILE'S ALBUM "IN
THESE SILENT DAYS" IS IN THE
GENERAL CATEGORY, IT'S IN ROCK,
IT'S IN AMERICAN ROOTS, AND IT'S
AMERICANA.
IT EMULATES SO MANY DIFFERENEMOTIONS.
I'M ADRIANA, AND "IN THESE
SILENT DAYS" BY BRANDI CARLILE
IS HANDS DOWN ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
WHEN I FIRST SAW BRANDI CARLILE,
I AS JUST LEAVING MORMONISM AND
REALLY TRYING TO DISCOVER WHO I
WAS.
I FELT LIKE SHE UNDERSTOOD WHAI WAS GOING THROUGH IN THAMOMENT.
IT REALLY JUST ENVELOPED MY
SOUL.
I'VE SEEN HER 32 TIMES IN 15
YEARS.
SHE'S TAKING HER SONGWRITING UP
TO THAT ICONIC LEVEL AND ALWAYS
REMAINS TRUE TO HERSELF.
AND THAT EMPOWERS US TO REMAIN
TRUE TO OURSELVES.
WHAT SHE'S DONE FOR THE LGBTQ+
COMMUNITY HAS BEEN SO INCREDIBLY
IMPORTANT TO ME.
IT'S BROUGHT ME INTO MY
AUTHENTIC SELF.
THE JOURNEY OF SELF-EXPRESSION
AND
AND WHEN YOU FEEL ALONE, ITAKES US ALL TO A PLACE THAT WE
NEED, ALL OF US AT THIS TABLE.
THIS NEXT PRESENTER
IS ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED AND
ENDURING STARS IN THE HISTORY OF
POPULAR MUSIC.
AND AFTER FOUR DECADES OF HISONGS, SHE'S ABOUT TO HEAD OFF
ON HER 40th ANNIVERSARY
"CELEBRATION" TOUR.
EVERYBODY, PLEASE WELCOME THE
LONGEST-REINING QUEEN ON EARTH,
MADONNA!
ARE YOU READY FOR A LITTLE
CONTROVERSY?
COME ON, PEOPLE, LET'S MAKE SOME
NOISE!
Y'ALL ARE GOING TO SLEEP OVER
HERE.
SO, HERE'S WHAT I'VE LEARNED
AFTER FOUR DECADES IN MUSIC.
IF THEY CALL YOU SHOCKING,
SCANDALOUS, TROUBLESOME,
PROBLEMATIC, PROVOCATIVE, OR
DANGEROUS, YOU ARE DEFINITELY
ONTO SOMETHING.
THAT'S WHERE YOU MAKE NOISE.
YEAH, THANK YOU.
SO, I'M HERE TO GIVE THANKS TO
ALL THE REBELS OUT THERE FORGING
A NEW PATH AND TAKING THE HEAFOR ALL OF IT.
YOU GUYS NEED TO KNOW, ALL YOU
TROUBLEMAKERS OUT THERE, YOU
NEED TO KNOW THAT YOUR
FEARLESSNESS DOES NOT GO
UNNOTICED.
YOU ARE SEEN, YOU ARE HEARD,
AND, MOST OF ALL, YOU ARE
APPRECIATED.
SO NOW, SPEAKING OF CONTROVERSY,
IT GIVES ME GREAT PLEASURE TO
INTRODUCE TWO INCREDIBLY
TALENTED ARTISTS WHO HAVE RISEN
ABOVE THE NOISE, THE DOUBT, THE
CRITICS INTO SOMETHING
BEAUTIFULLY UNHOLY.

THERE'S REALLY NOTHING THATHEY CAN'T ACCOMPLISH.
THEY'LL GET ON IT.
JUST LET THEM KNOW WHAT YOU

SWIFTIES, PRICE OF EGGS DOWN.

YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE

SEE A MOMENT YOU'VE NEVER SEEN
BEFORE.
AND YOU'LL NEVER SEEN AGAIN.
HERE TO INTRODUCE ONE OF THOSE
MOMENTS, PLEASE MAKE SOME NOISE
FOR A HIP-HOP LEGEND, A BELOVED
ACTOR, AND A FIVE-TIME GRAMMY
HOST, LL COOL J.
IT'S GREAT, AND I MEAN TRULY
GREAT TO BE BACK AT THE GRAMMY
AWARDS TONIGHT.
I'M HONORED TO BE HERE TO
PRESENT A BRAND-NEW AWARD THATHE RECORDING ACADEMY IS
INTRODUCING THIS YEAR IN
COORDINATION WITH THE BLACK
COLLECTIVE.
APP
THIS AWARD WILL RECOGNIZE THE
CONTRIBUTIONS OF CREATORS AND
PROFESSIONALS WITH A PROVEN
TRACK RECORD OF UPLIFTING BLACK
MUSIC.
THE RECIPIENT OF THIS INAUGURAL
AWARD IS NONE OTHER THAN AN ICON
WHO HELPED DEFINE WEST COASHIP-HOP AND HAS BECOME ONE OF
THE MOST IMPACTFUL SUCCESS
STORIES OF OUR TIMES.
AND NOT ONLY IS HE WINNING THE
AWARD TONIGHT, BUT FROM THIS DAY
FORWARD THIS NEW AWARD WILL BE
NAMED AFTER MY FRIEND, MY
BROTHER.
AND I AM THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE
THE DR. DRE GLOBAL IMPACT AWARD
IS GOING TO, DR. DRE.
HERE'S A LOOK AT THE GLOBAL
IMPACT OF DR. DRE.
DR. DRE IS ONE OF
THE GREATEST GAME-CHANGERS IN
MUSIC HISTORY.
FROM HIS EARLY DAYS WITH N.W.A.
TO "THE CHRONIC."
FROM FOUNDING
AFTERMATH ENTERTAINMENT AND
COFOUNDING BEATS, TO ENDOWING
ANDRE YOUNG ACADEMY FOR ARTS,
TECHNOLOGY AND THE BUSINESS OF
INNOVATION.
I GUESS I'M AN OFFICIAL
TROJAN NOW.
DR. DRE'S IMPACHAS BEEN GLOBAL, MASSIVE, AND AN
AUTHENTIC AND POSITIVE FORCE IN
OUR WORLD.
ALL RISE.
EVERYBODY STAND UP FOR THE
FIRST-EVER WINNER OF THE DR. DRE
GLOBAL IMPACT AWARD, DR. DRE!
OH, WOW.
I DID NOT EXPECT THAT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
THANK YOU.
WHAT'S UP, BRO?
YEAH, YEAH.
I'M EXTREMELY MOVED BY THIS
AWARD.
I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU TO THE
RECORDING ACADEMY AND THE BLACK
MUSICIVE COLLECTIVE FOR THIS
HONOR.
I KNOW EVERYBODY IN HERE
PROBABLY KNOWS THIS ALREADY, BUTHIS IS THE 50th ANNIVERSARY OF
HIP-HOP.
MAKE SOME NOISE FOR HIP-HOP.
YEAH.
AND WHERE WOULD I BE WITHOUT IT?
WHERE WOULD A LOT OF PEOPLE IN
HERE BE WITHOUT IT TO BE HONEST?
HIP-HOP BECAME A LIFE LINE FOR
ME AS A TEENAGER GROWING UP IN
COMPTON.
AND IT STARTED WITH A SONG
CALLED "THE ADVENTURES OF
GRANDMASTER FLASH ON THE WHEELS
OF STEEL."
SCRATCHING AND MIXING ON THE
TURN TABLES HAD ME HOOKED AND
BECAME THE ENTRY POINT OF A
40-YEAR CAREER OF DOING
SOMETHING THAT I REALLY LOVE.
WHAT UP, AP?
YEAH.
AND MUCH OF WHAT I LOVE IS
INVOLVED WITH COLLABORATION,
ASSEMBLING A TEAM OF TALENTED
ARTISTS, ENGINEERS AND MUSICIANS
WITH GIFTS DIFFERENT FROM MINE
AND WHO SHINE IN WAYS THAT I
DON'T HAS BEEN BOTH INSPIRING
AND CRUCIAL TO MY SUCCESS.
AND I'M EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO
ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE COMPRISED
THEIR TEAM OVER THE YEARS.
AND I WOULD NOT BE HERE
ACCEPTING THIS AWARD WITHOUTHEIR CONTRIBUTION.
YES.
I'M ALSO THANKFUL TO ALL THE
PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BY MY SIDE,
OFTEN THROUGH THE DIFFICULMOMENTS IN MY LIFE THAT CAUSED
ME TO GET TO THIS POINT IN MY
LIFE, YOU KNOW.
INSPIRATION IS ONE OF MY
FAVORITE WORDS, AND AS A
CREATIVE, IT'S WHAT I'M ALWAYS
IN SEARCH OF, AND I HOPE TO
LEAVE BEHIND LONG AFTER I'M
GONE.
SO, WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THIS AWARD
IS THAT IT USES MY NAME TO
INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF
PRODUCERS, ARTISTS, AND
ENTREPRENEURS TO REACH FOR THEIR
GREATNESS AND DEMAND THAT FROM
EVERYBODY AROUND YOU.
AND NEVER COMPROMISE YOUR VISION
AT ALL.
PURSUE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY.
AND REMEMBER THAT EVERYTHING IS
IMPORTANT.
THAT IS ONE OF MY MOTTOS,
EVERYTHING IS IMPORTANT.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
APPRECIATE IT.
CONGRATULATIONS, DR. DRE!
IT IS SO FITTING THAT DR. DRE
SHOULD WIN THIS AWARD IN A YEAR
THAT IS SO IMPORTANT FOR THE
CULTURE.
SINCE 2023 MARKS THE 50th
ANNIVERSARY OF HIP-HOP.
NOW, PARAMOUNT GLOBAL WILL BE
CELEBRATING THIS ANNIVERSARY ALL
YEAR LONG.
AND WE'RE KICKING IT OFF TONIGHON CBS RIGHT HERE THE GRAMMYS.
ALL RIGHT.
AND I'M PROUD TO BE A PART OF
THE HIP-HOP FAMILY, WHETHER
THEY'RE IN THE HOUSE TONIGHT OR
NOT.
AND WE'RE GOING TO ROCK THE
BELLS FOR THE 50th ANNIVERSARY
OF HIP-HOP.
YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN?
NOW, LOOK, WORKING CLOSELY WITH
ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED AND
TALENTED GROUPS IN THE WORLD,
THE ROOTS, QUESTLOVE HAS CURATED
SOMETHING SPECTACULAR.
A FLASH FORWARD THROUGH A
HALF-CENTURY OF ONE OF THE
GREATEST ONGOING MUSICAL STORIES
EVER TOLD.
IT'S A STORY THAT ALL BEGAN ON
AUGUST 11, 1973, WHEN DJ WAS AA PARTY IN THE BRONX AND PLAYED
THE BREAK BEATS THAT KICKSTARTED
A GLOBAL MUSICAL REVOLUTION.
NOW, WE WISH WE COULD HAVE
INCLUDED EVERY SINGLE HIP-HOP
ARTIST FROM 1973 TO 2023.
I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW.
BUT THAT'S TO BE CONTINUED AT A
LATER DATE AND TIME.
ALL RIGHT?
HERE TO GET OUR STORY STARTED,
MY BROTHER BLACK THOUGHT!
FIFTY YEARS AGO IN THE BRONX,
NEW YORK, A STREET PRINCESS WAS
BORN TO BE AN ICON.
THE ARTFORM TOOK THE ENTIRE
WORLD BY STORM.
HOW SHE WOULD DO IT?
THROUGH INFLUENCE.
CONSTANTLY RAISING THE STAKES
EACH GENERATION.
DOMINATION BY WHATEVER MEANS ITAKES.
SO, FROM A SPARK INTO A FLAME
THAT BECAME PUBLIC DOMAIN.
AND SHE REFERS TO BE REFERRED TO
BY HER FULL GOVERNMENT NAME.

SONGWRITING, AS I DO.
I WAS SO INSPIRED FOR THIS SONG
BY THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF THE
LOVE AND THE GRACE AND THE
GENEROSITY OF SOMEONE THADONATES THEIR BELOVED ORGANS TO
HELP ANOTHER PERSON LIVE.
AND THIS STORY WAS SO SIMPLE AND
SO BEAUTIFUL FOR THESE TIMES,
AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RESPONDING
TO THIS SONG, PARTLY BECAUSE OF
HOW MUCH I LOVE, AND WE ALL LOVE
JOHN PRINE, AND THAT WAS THE
INSPIRATION FOR THE MUSIC FOR
THIS SONG, AND TELLING A STORY
FROM THE INSIDE.
AND I JUST... I DON'T WRITE A
LOT OF SONGS, BUT I'M SO PROUD
THAT YOU APPRECIATE THIS ONE AND
WHAT THIS MEANS FOR ME AND FOR
THE REST OF THE SONGWRITERS WHO
I WOULD NOT BE UP HERE TONIGHIF IT WASN'T FOR THE ART OF THE
GRAT SOUL-DIGGING, HARD-WORKING
PEOPLE THAT PUT THESE SONGS AND
IDEAS TO MUSIC.
SO, I THANK MY TEAM FOR HELPING
ME GET THIS RECORD OUT.
AND THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I'M JUST TOTALLY HUMBLED.
I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.
THANK YOU.

MISUNDERSTOOD OR ON THE OUTSIDE
LOOKING IN, LIKE I DID, JUSSTAY TRUE TO YOURSELF, BECAUSE I

ACKNOWLEDGING THIS YEAR'S
RECIPIENT OF THE RECORDING
ACADEMY AND GRAMMY MUSEUM'S
MUSIC EDUCATOR AWARD... PAMELA
DAWSON, DIRECTOR OF CORAL
STUDIES FROM DE SOTO HIGH SCHOOL
IN DE SOTO, TEXAS.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, PAMELA, FOR
BRINGING EVEN MORE HARMONY TO
MUSIC EDUCATION.
GIVE IT UP, Y'ALL.
IT'S EQUALLY AN HONOR TO SAY THE
RECORDING ACADEMY'S INDUSTRY
ICON AWARD THIS YEAR GOES TO THE
PHENOMENAL CHAIRMAN AND CEO OF
ATLANTIC MUSIC GROUP, JULIE
GREENWALD, AND THE CHAIRMAN AND
CEO OF ATLANTIC RECORDS, CRAIG
KALLMAN.
AND JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT I
COULD NOT FEEL ANY MORE HONORED,
I GET TO INTRODUCE THE BOSS WHO
DOES MY PERFORMANCE REVIEW...
THE CEO OF THE RECORDING
ACADEMY, HARVEY MASON JR.
JUST THINK FOR A MINUTE ABOUTHE POWER OF MUSIC.
LET'S DREAM.
THERE MUST BE LIGHT BURNING
BRIGHTER SOMEWHERE
GOT TO BE BIRDS FLYING HIGHER
IN THE SKY
IF I CAN DREAM
MUSIC PEOPLE FROM ALL AROUND
THE WORLD FROM ALL DIFFERENGENRES CAME TOGETHER ON THE SAME
STAGE TO CELEBRATE THE
FIRST-EVER GLOBAL GRAMMYS SHOW.
OH, WHY CAN'T MY DREAM COME
TRUE
OH, WHY CAN'T MY DREAM COME
TRUE
AFTER THE SONG GAINED
WORLDWIDE ATTENTION, GOVERNMENTS
ACROSS THE GLOBE CHANGED
POLICIES TO SUPPORT WOMEN'S
RIGHTS.
THERE MUST BE PEACE
UNDERSTANDING SOMETIMES
THOSE AREN'T REAL HEADLINES,
BUT THEY COULD BE.
MUSIC IS POWERFUL.
IT MOVES THE WORLD.
IT HEALS AND IT UNITES.
I'M HARVEY MASON JR.,
SONGWRITER, PRODUCER, AND CEO OF
THE RECORDING ACADEMY.
AND I'M PROUD TO WORK FOR AN
ORGANIZATION WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE
IS TO SERVE MUSIC, AND ALL THE
PEOPLE WHO MAKE IT.
WE'RE HERE TONIGHT TO CELEBRATE
OUR YEAR IN MUSIC.
BUT I ASK THAT YOU JOIN US THE
OTHER 364 DAYS OF THE YEAR AS WE
SUPPORT MUSIC PEOPLE THROUGH
MUSICARES AS WE HELP EDUCATE THE
NEXT GENERATION OF MUSICIANS
THROUGH OUR GRAMMY MUSEUMS.
AND AS WE ADVOCATE FOR THE
ISSUES THAT MATTER MOST TO OUR
MUSIC COMMUNITY.
THIS IS WHY WE EXIST.
IF WE CAN DREAM IT, WE CAN
ACCOMPLISH IT TOGETHER, THROUGH
MUSIC.
THIS IS THE GRAMMYS, AND WE ARE
THE ACADEMY.
OH, WHY CAN'T MY DREAM COME
TRUE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THAT, HARVEY.
ALBUM OF THE YEAR IS STILL
COMING UP.
AND, REMEMBER, NOBODY KNOWS
WHO'S GOING TO WIN THIS THING.
BECAUSE UNLIKE THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT, THE GRAMMYS KEEPS
ITS CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS
CLASSIFIED.
BUT BEFORE THAT FOR THE LASTIME LET'S HEAR AGAIN FROM OUR
NOMINEES BIGGEST FANS.
IN 20 YEARS SINCE A RAP ALBUM
HAS WON, AND I THINK KENDRICK
CAN TAKE IT HOME.
MY NAME IS JENN.
I'VE BEEN A DAY ONE KENDRICK
FAN.
I WAS AT HIS VERY FIRST CONCERIN DALLAS IN A LITTLE BITTY
CLUB.
IN 2017 I HAD A GoFundMe SET UP
TO EARN MONEY TO GET A NEW
ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE.
KENDRICK LAMAR FOUND OUT ABOUIT AND DECIDED TO SURPRISE ME.
AND HE BOUGHT ME A BRAND-NEW
VAN.
I CAN RELATE TO HIS REALNESS AND
HIS SPIRITUALITY, KIND OF HIS
OUTLOOK ON THE WORLD.
AND HE'S VULNERABLE IN HIS
MUSIC.
HIS MUSICIANSHIP IS JUSAMAZING, AND IT'S CHANGED
HIP-HOP.
WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING
ON, WE WANTED SOMEBODY THACOULD COME AND LIFT OUR SPIRITS,
MAKE US FEEL LIKE WE COULD KEEP
GOING.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHY IT SHOULD
BE ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
SO ABBA DESERVES TO WIN ALBUM
OF THE YEAR THE MOST.
BECAUSE AFTER 40 WHOLE YEARS OF
NOT RELEASING MUSIC, THEY
RELEASED THEIR ALBUM "VOYAGE."
HI, MY NAME IS COLE, AND I AM
1,000 PERCENT OBSESSED WITH
ABBA.
THE CHRISTMAS OF 2018 MY HOUSE
BURNT DOWN.
IT REALLY BROUGHT ME INTO A DEEP
DEPRESSION.
AND I REALLY COULDN'T GET OUT OF
THE DEPRESSION UNTIL AN
OPPORTUNITY AROSE THAT SUMMER TO
PERFORM "MAMA MIA" IN SANTA
ROSA, CALIFORNIA, WHICH WAS THE
BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE.
ABBA TRANSFORMED ME.
ABBA EMBODIES HAPPINESS.
THIS ALBUM HAS A MATURITY THAONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRULY LIVED
CAN CREATE.
SO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS THE
ONE?
I HAVE GOOD VIBES.
I HAVE GOOD VIBES COMING IN.
WITH MUSIC OF THE SPHERES AND
WHY I THINK IT DESERVES ALBUM OF
THE YEAR, IT'S SO UPLIFTING AND
SO POSITIVE THAT YOU WANT TO
CRY.
I'VE ALWAYS CONNECTED TO
COLDPLAY BECAUSE, GROWING UP IN
JUST SUCH A BIG FAMILY, I DIDN'REALLY FEEL LIKE A LOT OF THINGS
WERE MINE.
COLDPLAY FELT LIKE THE FIRSTHING THAT FELT LIKE MY OWN.
I HAD JUST GONE THROUGH A
BREAKUP, JUST FELT A LITTLE LOSAND DIRECTIONLESS.
COLDPLAY WAS COMING TO TOWN.
MY SISTER JORDAN, SHE WAS, LIKE,
JOEY, YOU NEED THIS FOR YOUR
SOUL, LET'S GO.
SO I WENT TO THE COLDPLAY
CONCERT TONIGHT.
I WAS LISTENING TO THE LYRICS,
AND CHRIS MARTIN BECAME MY
THERAPIST.
IT WAS JUST, LIKE, PROBABLY THE
BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO.
WHEN I LISTEN TO "MUSIC OF THE
SPHERES," I KIND OF IMAGINE IAS LIKE A COSMIC HUG FROM THE
UNIVERSE SAYING, LIKE, IT'S
GOING TO BE OKAY.
ALSO, CHRIS MARTIN IS THIS SWEEBABY ANGEL AND HE HAS TO BE
PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES.
THAT'S IT FOR, YEAH.
MARY J. BLIGE, QUEEN OF SOUL
HIP-HOP AND R&B.
SHE HAS BEEN IN THIS JOURNEY FOR
30 YEARS.
AND TO NOW BE AT A PLACE WHERE
WE HAVE ALL BEEN THROUGH
SOMETHING, WE CAN ALL STILL WAKE
UP AND FEEL LIKE THE WORLD NEEDS
US, SO WE'VE GOT TO FIND OUR
PEACE, LIKE SHE SAYS, ALBUM OF
THE YEAR, BRING IT HERE.
TELL MYSELF GOOD MORNING
GORGEOUS
WHEN I WAS IN THIRD GRADE IS
WHEN I BECAME A FAN OF MARY J.
BLIGE.
I RELATED SO MUCH TO HER
PASSION, TO HER SOUL.
WE'VE BEEN THERE THROUGH IT ALL
WITH HER, THE UPS, THE DOWNS,
THE GOOD AND THE BAD.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU'RE GOING
THROUGH, YOU FEEL LIKE MARY GOYOUR BACK.
DON'T FORGET WE STILL
HAVE DJ KHALED, AND OTHER
PERFORMANCES TO COME.
BUT FIRST STEVE LACY EARNED
THREE NOMINATIONS FOR ONE OF THE
BIGGEST HITS OF THE YEAR FOR HIS
SONG "BAD HABIT."
THE SONG WENT FROM NUMBER ONE
AND HAS BECOME AN ANTHEM ALL
OVER THE WORLD.
JOINED BY THUNDERCAT.
