LOS ANGELES — Call it irony. But the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards went down Sunday night in Los Angeles at the Staples Center — the arena Kobe Bryant called home for two decades. So it was certainly no surprise melancholic viewers were treated to a myriad of encomiums that were dedicated to the late NBA legend. Lizzo got the gaiety started with a heartfelt monologue in Kobe’s honor and Alicia Keys, who emceed the event, devoted multiple panegyrics throughout the night. Other highlights include Usher’s musical tribute to Prince which included a medley of “When Doves Cry” and “Kiss.”
"Tonight is for Kobe."
Lizzo opened the Grammy Awards with a performance of "'Cuz I Love You.”Follow updates: https://t.co/CNa7rHGpgz

Aerosmith and Run-D.M.C. also rocked the audience with a contemporary rendition of “Walk This Way.” Moments later, lesbian talk show host Ellen DeGeneres introduced rapper Lil Nas X prior to his performance of “Old Town Road” then lauded his unabashed decision to come out gay.
Lil Nas X appeared to be wearing red lipstick. DJ Khaled, John Legend and others remembered Nipsey Hussle. Tyler, the Creator won Best Rap Album. And, Billie Eilish took home the trophy for Record of the Year. Did you watch the Grammys? Were you impressed with the performances?
Can’t lie. I didn’t know half of them mothaf*ckas!
Anyway, share your thoughts.
i know its different times and a different generation, but thaat is not talent what i saw up there, its karoake talent. with only exceptions talents like steve tyler and bonnie riaatt, and some others. this was Broadway shows night. whole point of the show is to listen to the song, not bounce around all over the place. and when they did get serious with songs they were either message songs or depressing songs. im tired of this. give me a sappy happy song with a good beat any day. i dont mean to denigrate the performers and their talent, but stand still so we can really hear your voice, we cant see your dancing on the radio, leave that for broadway or radio city music hall. grammys of yesterday were bettet at honouring their peers, today they give these legends about 45 second tribute. these generation of musical performers , with some possible exceptions, will never become legends, they may become wealthy,but not legendary. i think that word is becoming either overused or almost extinct. i cant watch these shows anymore, have become generic, with one hit wonders. in another word boring. didnt know 98 per-ceent of the performers to night.
Lizzo has a great and powerful voice but her music is vapid and trashy.
bunch of people i never heard of
The entertainment industry is awful!
“wE oBsessED WiTh BtS”
We will miss Kobe
Kobe gone but these trash bags still around🤬
💔 we lost an OG
For me, Kobe Bryant was killed through a suicide bomber pilot. He died before the 62nd Grammy Awards just like what happened to Whitney Houston. Whitney died before the Grammy Awards. She was invited to sing during the Grammy Awards but she could not sing. Most of the famous artists were killed because i think they were members of …
Can’t believe Kobe is dead man.
A child in Africa dies every 3 seconds, guess death only matters when you have 💲💲💲💲💲💲
Uggh the fake grief and self adulation of these people make ya stomach churn

Was total garbage, like usual!
Screw this McDonald’s awards show. The ratings of the Grammy awards keep going down for a reason. All the actual musicians are honored at the pre-show, and meanhwile, the main show is nothing but a huge circle jerk of Pop “musicians”. The majority of them don’t even compose their music, nor do they know ANY music theory. They are people who suffer from a god complex. Bunch of conceited fools. Imagine if the Oscars handed out all of their “Best” awards to Disney and Marvel movies (I like Marvel though, but those flicks are far from being peak cinema). That’s what the Grammy awards main show is: the celebration of mediocrity. Yawn.
THAT’S MY BILLIE EILISH❤️❤️
Kobe this, kobe that, what about the others 😒
It’s sad that Old Town Road died after 21 weeks, i guess that’s why Lil Nas X didn’t receive the Best Song of the Year Award
Lizzo, Billie, and Tyler the Creator were awesome!
THE best heartfelt beautiful grammy ever! from Billie Eilish and brothers talents and Alisia Keys kindness and soul too the tears I cried when Camila Cabello sang that song to her father the first man who loved her wow just emotional and fun from music with Prince tribute and enjoyed the swagger of Aerosmith and Run DMC WOW- OUR SOCIETY NEEDED YOUR ENERGY AND CELEBRATION OF LOVE AND GOODNESS THROUGH SOUND AND SONG AND TALENT. I NEEDED IT TO HEAL from trauma too.
