The Grammy Awards were on last night and Whitney Houston stole the show!
The Grammys alternated between paying tribute to WHITNEY HOUSTON and celebrating ADELE, who won most of the good awards. Six in total for Album of the Year for "21", plus Song of the Year and Record of the Year, both for "Rolling in the Deep", Best Pop Solo Performance ("Someone Like You"), Best Pop Vocal Album ("21") and Best Short Form Music Video ("Rolling in the Deep").

The FOO FIGHTERS won five of the six categories they were nominated in: Best Rock Album, Best Rock Song, Best Rock Performance, Best Hard Rock / Metal Performance and Best Long-Form Video.
KANYE WEST won four Grammys, including Best Rap Album, Best Rap Song and Best Rap / Sung Collaboration.
Bruno Mars was the BIGGEST loser. He didn’t win any of the 6 awards he was up for.
Adele’s speech for Album of the Year was funny.
She joked, "I just first of all wanna say, 'Mum, girl did good!'"
As she thanked her record company, she said, "Oh, I got a bit of snot."
Whitney Houston was remembered by a few touching comments throughout the show, aswell as an amazing tribute to Whitney from Jennifer Hudson - who did a toned down version of Houston's hit 'I Will Always Love You'. Watch the oerfomance below. Jennifer broke down after the performance which she only had a few hours to rehearse for and apparently inside sources said she found it hard to get ready for the show and kept breaking down during rehearsals.
Clad all in black, Rihanna performed her huge hit 'We Found Love' and then teamed up for an more low key performance with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin of their duet 'Prince Of China' (off Coldplay's latest album, Mylo Xyloto). Afterwards, Coldplay belted out the epicess that was their song 'Paradise'... unfortunately Chris got off to a shakey start. Watch below...
Katy Perry made her comeback after her recent divorce drama with 'E.T' and debuted her new single 'Part Of Me'
The night's most bizarre performance came from Nicki Minaj as she debuted a new alter-ego, called Roman, during a strange performance art piece inspired by horror film The Exorcist. Nicki Minaj appeared to levitate as dancers dressed as monks and a man pretending to be a bishop watched on.
And Chris performed at the Grammys last night for the first time in three years. He had a futuristic set of stairs and a few backup dancers, as he sang “Turn Up The Music” which transitioned into “Beautiful People”. He got a standing ovation but not a good reaction online after his performance - with Twitter users shocked he was even allowed back on after the whole Rihanna incident a few years back (which coincidentally was on Grammys night)
