Dixie Chicks

Dixie Chicks au fost marele castigatoare ale editiei din acest an a premiilor Grammy.

Impunandu-se la toate cele 5 categorii la care fusese nominalizata, trupa country a revenit in atentia publicului mondial, dupa ce in urma cu 4 ani parea sa se destrame, iar scandalul politic in care a fost implicata a atras un val de antipatie din partea radiourilor si a producatorilor.

Ele au castigat premiul pentru cel mai bun cantec al anului cu piesa `Not Ready to Make Nice`, cel mai bun album si cea mai buna inregistrare. Aceasta tripla performanta s-a mai inregistrat in 1993, cu Eric Clapton.

De asemenea, nici o trupa country nu s-a mai impuns pentru trofeul `Albumul anului` din 1969, atunci cand Glen Campbell primea aceasta distinctie pntru discul `By the Time I Get to Phoenix `.

Desi favorita a celei de-a 49 editii, cu un total de 8 nominalizari, Mary J. Blige a castigat 3 Grammy - toate din categoria R&B.

Rockerii de la Red Hot Chili Peppers si-au insusit 4 premii, printre care `Cea mai buna performanta rock` si `Cel mai bun cantec rock`.

Carrie Underwood a fost numita `Best New Artist`, ea primind un Grammy si pentru `Cea mai buna voce country feminina`.

Printre laureati din acest an s-au numarat si Gnarls Barkley (Best Urban/Alternative Performance), John Mayer (Cea mai buna voce pop masculina), Bob Dylan (Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance), Beyonce (Cel mai bun album R&B Contemporan), John Legend , Bruce Springsteen sau Ludacris cu `Cel mai bun album rap`.

Marii pierzatori ai serii au fost James Blunt si Prince , ambii nominalizati la 5 categorii.

Spectacolul a fost deschis cu o mult asteptata reprezentatie a trupei Police , care a incantat audienta prin hitul `Roxanne`.
