Adele a fost principala câştigătoare la gala de decernare a premiilor Grammy 2017, care a avut loc duminică noapte, informează contactmusic.com.

Adele a deschis ceremonia cu piesa ‘Hello’, pentru care a primit trofeul ‘Record and Song of the Year’ şi ‘Best Pop Solo Performance’. La final, artista britanică a plecat acasă cu cinci trofee, inclusiv cu cel al categoriei ‘Albumul Anului’, trofeu pe care l-a dedicat, cu ochii în lacrimi, cântăreţei Beyonce.

Britanica a spus, vizibil şocată că nu a fost câştigător albumul lui Beyonce, ‘Leomnade’, când i-a fost înmânat premiul: „Nu pot sub nicio formă să accept acest premiu, deşi sunt extraordinar de măgulită şi recunoscătoare, dar artista mea preferată este Beyonce, iar albumul ei, ‘Lemonade’, este monumental….”. Adele a continuat, uitându-se la Jay Z şi la soţia lui, care se aflau în public în primul rând: „…şi atât de bine gândit şi atât de frumos şi sensibil, iar noi am putut vedea şi o altă parte a ta, parte care nu o vezi mereu, iar noi apreciem acest lucru. Noi, toţi artiştii de aici… te adorăm. Eşti lumina noastră.”

Adele i-a mai spus lui Beyonce, potrivit sursei citate: „Mă emoţionezi în fiecare zi. Faci asta de 17 ani. Te ador… şi vreau să fii mămica mea!”

Şi regretatul artist David Bowie a câştigat cinci premii, toate datorită ultimului său album, ‘Blackstar’, care a fost lansat cu doar câteva zile înainte de moartea sa, anul trecut.

Gala de decernare a premiilor Grammy 2017 a fost presărată de momente emoţionante. Alicia Keys şi Maren Morris au făcut echipă, Lady Gaga a cântat cu Metallica, iar Demi Lovatom Andra Day, Torry Kelly şi Little Big Town au cântat muzica celor de la Bee Gees. Însă, cel mai grandios moment al serii a fost tributul adus de Bruno Mars lui Prince. Îmbrăcat precum legendarul muzician în timpul erei Purple Rain, Bruno şi trupa sa au reinterpretat perfect melodia ‘Let’s Go Crazy’.
