The Grammys kicked off with a little R-E-S-P-E-C-T 葛萊美獎以一首「尊敬」揭開序幕，
as an all-star group of divas paid tribute to maybe the greatest diva of all, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin. 一群當紅天后唱將向堪稱史上最偉大女歌手「靈魂樂之后」艾瑞莎‧弗蘭克林獻唱致敬。
Sisters and the ladies were definitely getting it done. 姊姊妹妹與女郎們肯定收獲不少。
Country trio Lady Antebellum had a huge night, winning five trophies including the top two: Record and Song of the Year for "Need You Now." 鄉村樂三人團體「懷舊女郎」今晚以「想念你」風光獲得五座獎盃，包含年度專輯與年度歌曲這兩項大獎。
Another lady, Gaga, picked up a trio of trophies after arriving on the red carpet inside an egg, then belting out her new song, "Born This Way." 另一位女郎「女神卡卡」藏身蛋中走紅毯，之後破蛋而出大唱新歌「天生如此」，抱回了三座獎盃。
Rihanna and Drake's sizzling duet is sure to spark rumors they're a couple, 蕾哈娜與德瑞克的火熱對唱肯定會傳出兩人在交往的傳言。
while on the tamer side, 再看到抒情路線部份，
C-Lo Green teamed up with Gwenyth Paltrow and some fuzzy friends for a TV-friendly take on his hit, "F*** You." 希洛‧格林與葛妮絲‧派特洛及一些毛絨絨的朋友聯手，演唱適合電視播出版的希洛暢銷歌曲「Ｘ你的」。
Bob Dylan growled out his tune, and Barbara Streisand proved her voice was still "Evergreen." 巴布‧狄倫以低沉噪音演唱自己的作品，而芭芭拉‧史翠珊也證實她的歌聲「萬年長青」。
For old and young alike it was a night of firsts. 不管是前輩還是新生代，今晚都有初體驗。
Mick Jagger had never sung at the Grammys before; 米克‧傑格過去從未在葛萊美獎典禮上演出，
neither had teen phenom Justin Bieber, who shockingly didn't win any Grammys. 青春偶像小賈斯汀也沒有，另人驚訝的是他並未贏得任何獎項。
But an even bigger shock was Canadian rockers Arcade Fire winning the coveted Album of the Year award. 更讓人跌破眼鏡的是加拿大搖滾樂團「拱廊之火」贏得人人垂涎的年度專輯大獎，
Even they couldn't believe it. 連他們自己都不敢相信。
It was a surprise ending for a Grammy show with something for every generation. 本屆葛萊美頒獎典禮表演縱括各世代，最後壓軸結果大爆冷門。
