Rolling in the Grammy's

In the wake of the loss of one of music's greatest female voices (Whitney Houston), a new big voice emerged as the top winner at Sunday's Grammy Awards. Adele, the girl that stole America's hearts with her heart-wrenching album about a broken romance, received the top honor for her sophomore album 21 as well as best pop vocal album for 21, best pop vocal performance for "Someone Like You", and record of the year, song of the year, and best short form video for her number one hit "Rolling in the Deep". A total of 6 awards, tying her with the incomparable Beyonce for most wins by a woman in one evening. Adele went on to deliver a heartbreaking performance on the Grammy Stage which was the highly anticipated event of the evening because of her recent recovery from vocal surgery. Bon Iver landed best new artist as well as best alternative album, which along with Adele, was a major leap in the music industry. These artists who write from the heart were up against showy, manipulated music such as Skrillex, Katy Perry and Nicki Minaj. But as David Grohl of the Foo Fighters so eloquently put: "It's not about being perfect. It's not about sounding absolutely correct. It'son in here (your heart) and what goes on in here (your head)". As "Party Rock Anthem", ironically, played him out.
