Ο δίσκος της χρονιάς δεν πήγε τελικά εκεί που οι περισσότεροι περίμεναν. Lady Gaga και Eminem κατατροπώθηκαν από μια “άλλη”... Lady και τους Arcade Fire στα 53α Grammy Awards.

Όλοι ήταν εκεί. Άλλωστε είναι το μουσικό γεγονός της χρονιάς. Μπάρμπαρα Στρέιζαντ, Μικ Τζάγκερ ακόμη και ο Μπομπ Ντίλαν. Την παράσταση όμως έκλεψε η νέα γενιά και φυσικά οι νικητές αλλά περισσότερο οι σχετικά ηττημένοι.
