Timberlake also premiered another song called “Mirrors.” The great thing about this performance was it was super classy. Justin Timberlake has been known for his Michael Jacksonesque sound, and it really showed in his performance at the Grammys. When the performance started, the TV went black and white, which was a cool way to announce to the world that JT is back and better than ever. His new album, “The 20/20 Experience,” drops Mar. 19. Rihanna: Rihanna performed her new single “Stay.” Honestly, I think it was one of her strongest performances. Her vocals were right on point, and it was evident that the music was really speaking to her throughout her performance. There was no big production number, but rather a simple setting, just Rihanna and her band. It was nice to see her unplugged for once, and she truly delivered. While it’s speculated that the song is about her current on-again flame, Chris Brown, Rihanna performed the song with such dedication, and she nailed the song. Fun: They took home a Grammy for Best New Artist, and the reason was clear. Fun rocked the Grammy awards. They sang their second single off the album “Some Nights,” also titled “Some Nights.” As always, the vocals were stellar, but what really made this performance memorable were the technical aspects of this performance. In the middle of the song, it started raining. Yes, raining inside on the stage. It was an unexpected and innovative way to mark their footprint on the music industry. Maroon 5 featuring Alicia Keys: This is something you don’t see every day. Maroon 5 and Alicia keys performed both of their songs in a mash-up. The performance started with “Daylight” by Maroon 5. Keys made her presence known by beating on some drums. She wasn’t just beating, though. She was going to town. Keys, who is known for her exceptional piano playing, has major skill. Not only does this show her talent, but also how versatile she is. The song then transitioned into Keys’ latest single, “Girl on Fire.” The coolest part about this performance was how both artists sang on both songs. It was a duet, not a two different songs set. Maroon 5 front man Adam Levine really complemented the vocals of Keys. With a good three and a half hours of live music and awards, the 55 th Annual Grammys was definitely a huge success.
