Grammy Awards Show by Lenka Lehenova

A lot of Americans couldn't wait for Grammy Awards. It is very popular telecast and viewers could watch it on Sunday's night. It has been 50th jubilee of its broadcasting. Nielsen Media Research is maybe a little disappointed that the show was watched only by 17.5 million people. If later estimates confirm that number it will be the third least-watched Grammy Awards show. Do you want to know who triumphed? There are names like Amy Winehouse, Herbie Hancock and Kanye West. Amy, a 24 & year- old British singer is known and popular for her old-soul voice and image of sinner with typical tattoo. She is drug addict and it was also reason why she wasn't allowed to participate in Grammy. Although she has got visa to USA finally, she stayed in London. It didn't stop her to win the most trophies. She couldn't belive that she has won five awards from six. Viewers could enjoy her songs "Rehab" and "You Know I'm No Good" which she sang via satellite from London's club. Then she dedicated her record of the year trophy to her parents, jailed husband and London. Hancock and his "River: The Joni Letters" won album of the year. He said that it had been immeasurable how surprised he was. Kanye West also has been on the stage quite often. He won four from eight trophies but he'd made no secret of disappointing after his losing out in the album of the year category. Alicia Keys began the evening with singing "Learnin' The Blues", which she sang alongside archival footage of Frank Sinatra. She also won award for her hit "No One", which she took from hands of her colleague Prince. There are many famous names which has been through Grammy Awards show, for example Bruce Springsteen, Beyonce, Tina Turner, Keely Smith and so on.
