L’incoronazione di un talento.
Sam Smith domina i Grammy Awards 2015 portandosi a casa ben 4 Premi, lasciando Beyonce e Pharrell a quota 3.
Ma è stato Beck a far suo l’Oscar della musica più importante, quello dell’album dell’anno. Il rock che fotte il pop.
Queen B è così arrivata ai 20 trionfi, staccando Aretha rimasta a quota 18. Niente Grammy per Sia, presentatasi sul red carpet con capello alla Gaga, vincitrice di un Grammy insieme alla Aguilera. Entrambe sono così arrivate ai 6 trionfi personali. A secco anche Hozier, per due canzoni che hanno segnato questi ultimi 12 mesi, Chandelier e Take me to Church, del tutto snobbate.
