With the Tragic passing of an Icon Whitney Houston the 54TH Annual Grammys took a Somber note in honor of Whitney Houston. Now that the 54th Annual Grammy Awards have been given out last Night here is a report from OTRC- On The Red Carpet.
Adele dominated the 2012 Grammy Awards on February 12 winning six awards including taking top honors like Record of the Year and Album of the Year for her single, "Rolling In The Deep," and her sophomore album "21."
The singer also had a big comeback to the stage singing "Rolling In The Deep" after recovering from vocal cord surgery and received a standing ovation from the crowd.
"I can't believe I'm getting emotional already," she said after winning Best Pop Vocal Album. "And seeing as it's a vocal performance, I need to thank my doctors, I suppose, who brought my voice back."
The Foo Fighters also had a big night at the awards ceremony winning five Grammys for their album "Wasting Light."
The ceremony opened with a prayer for Whitney Houston by host LL Cool J and Jennifer Hudson sang "I Will Always Love You," in honor of the star. Here are the WINNERS and some video Highlights of my Favorite Grammy Moments.
