It was a very eventful night in LA, as news about Chris Brown's alleged assault and the news that the victim of his assault was girlfriend Rihanna set a sobering tone prior to the show's start.
Carrie Underwood won for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for "Last Name," marking her fourth Grammy win in three years. She then went on to speak with Ryan on E!'s red carpet show, where she got back at him by bringing up Bikini Girl for insinuating that she "gets around" after not dating anyone in high school. Watch their exchange below:
Also Carrie-related, "Ever Ever After" failed to win the Best Song Written For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media, losing to Peter Gabriel's song from Wall-E.
But she did bring it home on her performance of "Last Name," although her band could have toned it down a bit. Watch the performance below:
As for Jennifer Hudson, she went 0-3 in the pre-televised ceremony, losing Best R&B Song, Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
But she kicked off the televised portion of the ceremony with a win in the Best R&B Album category, which was followed by a touching acceptance speech and an even more moving performance of "You Pulled Me Through," which can be viewed below:
Jordin Sparks lost her only nomination, Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals, for "No Air" to Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's "Rich Girl." But the Chris Brown news was probably a bigger disappointment for her.
And a very unexpected appearance by an Idol alums that was spotted on the red carpet and at the show was none other than Blake Lewis. Maybe he was there to cheer on his friend Jordin? Who knows.
As for IDOL LIVE's predictions for the Idol-related categories, the final result was three for seven. Not too good.
In any case, be sure to look out for the most up to date news on the Chris Brown/Rihanna story. It will surely be plastered all over the net and TV for the near future.
