美國東部時間1月31日晚，第52屆格萊美頒獎禮在洛杉磯斯坦普斯中心舉行。本屆格萊美可謂是碧昂斯和泰勒·斯威夫特的天下，兩人平分秋色，將各大獎項瓜分一空。整場演出最感人的時刻是邁克爾·杰克遜的一兒一女上臺為父親領(lǐng)取終生成就獎。?

With Beyonce and Taylor Swift leading the nominees, it looked like it might be lady's night at the Grammys.

"Beyonce."

And indeed it was. Beyonce had a fierce showing, leading the way with six awards, the most ever for a female artist in one night, top dog with Song of the Year for Single Lady (Put a ring on it).

"This has been such an amazing night for me and I'd love to thank the Grammys."

Swift won four Grammys, including the night's biggest prize--Album of the Year for Fearless.

"This is the dream come true when you have crazy dreams like: I wonder what it would be like to win a Grammy someday."

The recording academy crowned its queens, but it saved its most heartfelt tribute for the King of Pop, the late Michael Jackson. His two oldest children, Prince Michael and Paris accepted his Lifetime Achievement Award.

"Through all his songs his message was simple - love. We will continue to spread his message."
"Thank you. We love you, Daddy."

Earlier, the audience and folks at home donned the 3D glasses for a film of Jackson's pro-environment Earth Song accompanied by an all-star group of singers.

Speaking of kings, the Kings of Leon celebrated their Record of the Year win for "Use Somebody".

"We are all a little drunk, but we are happy drunk."

It wouldn't be the Grammys without some amazing performances. Their shares included Lady Gaga who opened the show paired with the equally flamboyant Elton John.

Rock album winners Green Day went Broadway; Beyonce marched on; Jimmy Fox was opera man and Pink did some high-flying water soap acrobatic.

Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli sang Simon & Garfunkel's classic Bridge over Troubled Water in honor of Haiti. The performance will be sold online to raise money for disaster relief on a night when the best music was celebrated. It was a reminder of what music does best.

"After the show, I spoke with Mary J. Blige who said it was a very emotional performance when she hopes will inspire others to help."
