Grammys 2012 deal with the death of a super star , Adele picks up 6 awards .

Well last nights 54th grammy awards at the Staples Centre in Los Angeles seem to have gone down very good considering the terrible loss of Whitney Houston one of the greatest female voices to ever to enter the industry, just over 24 hours earlier .

  

WHITNEY HOUSTON (1963-2012) 

Although i wasnt there myself obviously, I have been watching clips all day and reading about how the acadamy managed to keep one of the most glamourous nights of the year amazing without forgetting the great "Whitney Houston" . Houston herself has won many grammys over the career she has held for 3 decades . Her first being in 1986 , Yes a quarter of a century ago for "saving all my love for you " many of the singers and performers who were lucky enough to see Mrs Houston win her first award were present last night and must have been shocked to realise she was gone at the young age of 48 . 

  Anyhow down to the awards themselves Opened by host "LLCool J" who got off to a nice start by asking all the attendees to pray for "Our sister Whitney" . The awards then continued on to the more normal events of the evening but of course Whitney was remembered throughout the night and probably the most incredible dedication to Whitney came from Jennifer Hudson who sang quite emotionally and powerfully "I will always love you " , Whitney Houstons trademark song from the Movie "The bodyguard ".

Alica keys playing the piano (as Always ) also done a fair job singing some of Houston's songs but really i did fell she appeared as though she was not sure what she was singing .  Overall i think the acadamy done a good job remebering possibly the greatest female voice of the 20th century and I think "Neil Portnow" Head of the academy  sums it up quite well saying "Whitney was a friend - I (first) worked with her when she was 17 . Im pretty much the head of the family and when disasterstrikes you have to pull it all together and make it all work and make some decisions .So we shifted the show , which was extremely difficult .But i had the A team and they were nimble , and musicians by nature are able to impovise ".

  British singer Adele who won all 6 awards she was nominated for including best record of the year was overjoyed after having a tough year nearly losing her voice was the nights biggest winner and quickly knocked back rumours her voice was damaged from surgery late last year by sampling a piece of her "Rolling in the Deep" to the audience . We know what they say when one superstar passes a even bigger one rises up (well i do say that anyway) .


Other BIG winners included Rock band "Foo Fighters" picking up 4 awards , "Chris Brown" , "Rihanna" , "Taylor Swift" and "Cee Lo Green" .

Katy Perry in my opinion had an excellent performance to last night showing of her new BLUE hair looking as hot as ever .
