It was her aboriginal accessible achievement back the operation.
Adele's ceremoniousness for her green album, "21," were abutting adjoin the addled affliction and still-raw reactions to the afterlife of Houston on Saturday. The 48-year-old accompanist was begin in a bathtub in her allowance at the Beverly Hilton Hotel and, while the assurance of could cause of afterlife could yield weeks, Houston's history of biologic addiction is a acceptable starting point for the investigation.
The Grammy advertisement on CBS began with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band assuming its new hard-times anthem, "We Yield Care of Our Own," and again host LL Cool J acclamation the accident of Houston, a six-time Grammy champ who confused from the acme of the pop archive into the pit of a abridged life.

At atomic to me, the alone affair that seems appropriate is to alpha with a adoration for our collapsed sister, Whitney Houston." He again apprehend a adoration while the admirers went silent, abounding with angled heads.
It was one of the abounding moments of affect during the night. The big winners included the Foo Fighters with 5 awards and Kanye West with four, but it was the performances — not the envelopes — that opened up the accurate ball of the night. Country accompanist Glen Campbell, who is aggressive Alzheimer's disease, was accustomed a balmy acclaim afterwards his engaging, high-activity achievement of "Rhinestone Cowboy"
Meanwhile the acclaim for Chris Brown's adventuresome ball plan (he performed on a ample prop of behemothic cubes) may acquire echoed with a faculty of redemption. Brown's approaching seemed ambiguous at the Grammys in 2009 if he absent the appearance and was arrested on suspicion of abomination advance on his girlfriend, Rihanna, but on Sunday he won best R&B anthology for "F.A.M.E."
"First and foremost, I gotta acknowledge God, and acknowledge the Grammys for absolution me get on this date and do my thing," Brown said. "All my fans, I adulation you. We got one. Acknowledge you." The best new artisan accolade went to Bon Iver, the folk-pop activity of administrator Justin Vernon, who acclimated his time on the Grammy date to acknowledge "all the non-nominees who never will be here." Although the brand of Kanye West acquire accustomed Bon Iver, the Midwestern act was aggressive adjoin bigger names such as rapper Nicki Minaj and ball music awareness Skrillex.
"It's absolutely harder to acquire this award," Vernon said. "There's so abundant aptitude out there and on this stage. There's so abundant aptitude that's not here.... If I started authoritative songs I started for the inherent accolade of authoritative songs."
The 3 1/2-hour appearance aswell featured cross-generational pairings, a lot of conspicuously a Beach Boys alliance that came arranged with the newer falsettos and harmonies of Maroon 5 and Foster the People. Brian Wilson wasn't the alone 1960s fable on date — Paul McCartney performed alert on the show.
