The 2020 Grammys, the Oscars of music, have been awarded. Who are the winners of the night who took home the prestigious 2020 Grammy Music Awards?
The 2020 Grammy Awards are upon us. The 4-hour ceremony opened with an a cappella tribute to Kobe Bryant performed by Boys II Men. She joined the group host of the evening, Alicia Keys, who later summed up the year with a song with which she slightly criticized the American Recording Academy, which she "rebuked" lack of diversity. Let's remember that this year the academy also found itself under a wave of accusations of sexual abuse and harassment, as well as a series of irregularities.
This year's Grammys also received criticism because of the segment In Memoriam, where various mistakes happened, and some important people were even released. Fans immediately noticed that the names of Camilo Sesta and Cars frontman Ric Ocasek were misspelled. They are in memoriam, for example released Keith Flint, the frontman of the Grammy-nominated band Prodigy, who died last March. He was also missing David Berman from the indie rock band Silver Jews, who died last August, and Scott Walker from The Walker Brothers.
Who are the 2020 Grammy winners?
She swept away the competition Billie Eilish, who writes history: it is the youngest among the musicians and the first female performer, which won awards in all four of the most prestigious categories: best debutant, album of the year (When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?), song of the year (Bad Guy) and record of the year (Bad Guy).
Lizza, which had the most nominations before the awards, ended up winning 3 Grammys, namely for the best pop solo performance (Truth), for the best urban contemporary album (Cuz I Love You (Deluxe)) and for the traditional r'n'b performance of the year (Jerome). He took home two Grammys hereand Lil Nas X (best music video and best pop performance in a duet or group), and among the biggest surprises of the evening we can place the Grammy for the best rap album received Tyler The Creator for the album IGOR.
