The 55th Grammy Awards
held on February 10, 2013 at the Los Angeles’ Staples Center and
will definitely go down as one of the biggest highlights of the year.
With performances from Rihanna,
Jay Z and Justin Timberlake, Carrie Underwood, Alicia
Keys, Frank Ocean, Bruno Mars and many more,
it was a night to remember and get all exicted about with so many music
and movie stars in attendance.
While the likes of singer Frank
Ocean, producer Hit-Boy won their first ever
Grammy Awards, Jay Z, Kanye West, Rihanna and Beyonce
continued their winning streak. Other winners include, gospel duo Mary
Mary, Rock group Black Keys, old time Reggae
singer Jimmy Cliff and many others.
