The 53rd Grammys

On a night where Lady Gaga arrived in an egg, the biggest surprise of the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards had to be Drake and Justin Bieber losing out to Esperanza Spalding for Best New Artist.


The consensus amongst most people heading into the night was that the award would go to either Bieber or Drake, but Spalding, a jazz singer and bassist walked away with the coveted prize.

Also how did Florence Welch and Martina McBride end up in a tribute to Aretha Franklin? That kind of tribute should be done by singers who can belt out an Aretha tune. Jennifer Hudson, Yolanda Adams and Christina Aguilera also took part in the tribute.

Eminem gave a spirited performance as he teamed with Rihanna, Skyler Grey and Dr Dre for "Love The Way You Lie" and "I Need A Doctor."
