It was Harry Styles who opened the entire ceremony with his performance, performing the main British hit of the year “As It Was”. Quite bright, though not devoid of some restrained charm musical creation. Apparently, you need to listen deeply and thoughtfully to this masterpiece, because you won’t immediately understand why he suddenly fell in love with the English, and the American public in general, given the way Harry Styles was welcomed in Los Angeles at the Grammy Awards.
The main star of the stage that evening was Harry Styles, who won four nominations at once: Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Pop/R&B Act and Artist of the Year. To music fans, he is known as one of the members of the pop group One Direction and a participant in the X Factor show.
Now the artist performs solo, but he does not forget about his past: “I want to thank my mother for signing me up for the X Factor without my knowledge, because I literally would not be here without you, mom!”
A small scandal came out around the person of singer Lewis Capaldi, who was nominated for Song of the Year, but lost to Styles. When announcing his performance, host Mo Gilligan mistakenly referred to Capaldi as Sam: “This is brilliant… go crazy… it’s Sam Capaldi!” Lewis took the stage and sang his hit “Forget Me” as if nothing had happened. The song is certainly good, even more catchy than Stiles’, but if it’s rated as “brilliant” and “go crazy”, then these concepts are clearly devalued. After Lewis’ speech, the host of the ceremony hastened to apologize, citing strong drinks, the very ones that were on the tables.
Needless to say, there was just a spewing outburst of sarcastic comments on social media about this innocent incident, in the press it was inflated as if Lewis Capaldi was slinged in mud, and the whole ceremony fell into chaos. In fact, the musician did not even comment on the misunderstanding.
Curious novelty of the year – one of the most nominated bands Wet Leg Typical British pop rock, but with two daring girls on vocals. Previously, we saw slightly cheeky cynical rebels in a similar role, mostly guys, now girls have taken on the combination of romantic style and swagger. They do it with talent and look much fresher and more interesting than the over-awarded Beyoncе.
