The much awaited 55th Grammy Awards came with all the expected glitters and wonderful performances on the night. There were more performances at this year’s Grammy than the previous years, and the organizers say it’s in a bid to ensure more people watch the awards.

Some came, saw, and conquered, while there were others who came, saw, but couldn’t conquer. For some, being a nominee is a s good as winning a Grammy, and so they will be leaving the Staples centre, venue of the Grammys happy, even without winning an award.
