Here are the awards in the main categories for the 65th Grammy Awards, the American music industry awards presented Sunday in Los Angeles.
Beyoncé became the most crowned artist of all time at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, but the supreme prize for best album still eluded her, in favor of British popstar Harry Styles.
With four new gramophones, including the best R&B song (Cuff it) or Best Dance/Electronic Album (Renaissance) “Queen B” will leave with her arms full and she will have to make room on her shelf to display the 32 awards of her entire career, an absolute record, one more than conductor Georg Solti in the 1990s.
“I try not to be too moved”, she launched, thanking in turn her parents, her “beautiful husband” Jay-Z, her “three beautiful children” and “the queer community” who support her. always supported.
Beyoncé therefore enters the story. But once again, a major reward eludes him: as in 2017 with Lemonadewhich has become a classic, Renaissancehis latest house and dance opus, failed to win the award for best album.
The Bonnie Raitt Surprise
On the glowing stage of the Crypto.com Arena, pop sensation Harry Styles took home the prize, thanks to Harry’s Housewhich also won him the Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album.
Dressed entirely in sparkling fringe, he performed his hit As It Was during an evening that was full of stars, from Jay-Z to Kendrick Lamar and Dr. Dre, via Stevie Wonder, Madonna, Lizzo and Mary J. Blige.
In another surprise, blues, folk and country veteran Bonnie Raitt, 73, won song of the year with Just Like That, an award presented to him by US First Lady Jill Biden. However, the competition was tough with Beyoncé’s hits (Break my soul), Adele (Easy on me) ou Taylor Swift (All too well).
Lizzo won the Recording of the Year award for About Damn Timewhile British star Adele had to settle for best pop solo performance.
Bad Bunny, the Spanish-speaking success
The evening, hosted by South African comedian Trevor Noah, opened with a performance by the prince of Puerto Rican reggaeton Bad Bunny, one of the most commercially successful artists in the world in 2022. Nominated in three categories, he won a gramophone.
Other stars shone, such as rapper Kendrick Lamar who won three awards with the best rap performance and the best rap song for The Heart Part 5 and the best album, with Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers.
American folk-rock star Brandi Carlile, who had seven nominations, turned three into gramophones, including best rock song and best rock performance with Broken Horses.
The first award of its kind in the history of the Grammys, the award for best music for a video game went to American Stephanie Economou, for the music ofAssassin’s Creed Valhalla: Dawn Of Ragnarok.
The race was wide open for the revelation of the year, between the Brazilian Anitta, the Italian rockers of Maneskin, the rapper Latto. But it was ultimately Bronx-born jazz singer Samara Joy, 23, who received the award. Impressed by her voice, critics are already comparing her to great African-American jazz singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Sarah Vaughan or Nina Simone.
