Major props to Pink, who stole the show from Lady Gaga's opener with Elton John tonight at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Pink sang ballad "Glitter In the Air" in a white cloak, but stripped it off halfway through then got hoisted in the air for some pretty effing amazing acrobatics.I really can't believe Taylor Swift won as many awards as she did, while Pink got nothing. The Black Eyed Peas pretty much had the second best performance of the night, with "Imma Be/I Gotta Feeling" (the dancers dressed as speakers were particularly rad)—though Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli doing "Bridge Over Troubled Water" admittedly got me slightly misty.
Here are the Peas:
Below is that Lady Gaga/Elton John opening performance of "Poker Face/Speechless/Your Song." Out of the five categories she was nominated in, Gaga ended up only snagging the Best Dance Recording and Best Dance Album awards. (David Guetta won for Best Remixed Recording for "When Love Takes Over.")
