Justin Bieber Goes Acoustic at 2016 Grammy Awards

Justin Bieber won his first-ever Grammy Award on Monday night, earning the trophy for his song “Where Are Ü Now” in the category for Best Dance Recording alongside Skrillex and Diplo.

But this wasn"t even the artist"s most impressive achievement on the evening.

Bieber also took to the stage in Los Angeles to perform an acoustic version of the track "Love Yourself," earning rave reviews for all in attendance and all watching at home.

Justin was previously nominated in 2011 for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best New Artist, losing the latter Esperanza Spalding and finding himself at the center of an online uproar soon afterward.

There was no such controversy this time around, however.

Just many rounds of applause for Bieber after his performance.

"Beliebers.. We did it! I love you. Now get ready for the show. Not done yet. #GRAMMYs," Bieber Tweeted after learning he had won his first Grammy.

Might many more be in the singer"s future?

Yes, if he keeps blowing folks away with the sort of vocals he displays in this video.

Check it out now and then go ahead and give major props to Justin Bieber.

Very well done, young man! Keep up the great work!

Kendrick Lamar Makes Serious Statement at 2016 Grammy Awards

Kendrick Lamar made quite a statement at the 2016 Grammy Awards.

The superstar, who was nominated in 11 categories and who took home the trophy for Best Rap Album, came out on stage in chains, with four black dancers behind him, for a rendition of "The Blacker the Berry."

The backup dancers infused elements of African traditional dance into the politically-charged performance, with Lamar concluding via a fury of verses.

At one point, the lights dimmed and a large image of Africa appeared, emblazoned with the word Compton.

It wasn"t exactly subtle.

But it was awfully impressive.

Just how memorable was Lamar"s set?

Adele performed after the rapper and ended her time on stage by saying, "Kendrick, you"re amazing."

Lamar likely gave the best, most impassioned performance of the night, but these others stood out as well:

• Justin Bieber showed off impressive vocal range with an acoustic rendition of "Love Yourself."


• Lady Gaga paid amazing tribute to David Bowie with a nine-song medley.

Prepare to be blown away in 3… 2… 1…

Adele Stumbles Through Grammy Awards Performance

Well… now we"ve seen everything.

Thanks to the 2016 Grammy Awards, we"ve now seen Justin Bieber make headlines for singing beautifully, as opposed to acting like a spoiled brat.

We"ve seen Lady Gaga channel David Bowie in the most versatile and impression of fashion.

We"ve seen Kendrick Lamar come out in chains and use his backup dancers to make a strong political statement.

And now we"ve also seen Adele actually NOT be perfect during a performance.

The singer took to the CBS stage on Monday night to belt out a rendition of a new track, "All I Ask."

At one point early on, however, the superstar experienced technical difficulties when Adele"s microphone simply went out.

Even after that issue was fixed, though, the British sensation did not sound like her typically pitch perfect self.

Did she just have an off night? Or were more sound hiccups to blame?

"The piano mics fell on to the piano strings, that’s what the guitar sound was," she Tweeted afterwards, adding by way of explanation:

"It made it sound out of tune. S**t happens. Because of it though… I’m treating myself to an in n out. So maybe it was worth it."

HA! Adele is the best.

She also concluded this performance by giving a shout-out to Lamar, saying as soon as she wrapped up her song that the rapper is "amazing."

So is Adele. Even on her less than amazing nights…

Omarion Rants Over Grammy Snub, Says He’s the "Chosen" One

Move over, LeBron James and Kanye West.

There’s both a new Chosen One in town and also a new headline-making rant machine.

And both are Omarion!

The rapper WENT OFF on Twitter today after not being included among the 2016 Grammy Award nominees, believing that “Post to Be” (his collaboration with Chris Brown and Jhene Aiko) deserved recognition on music’s biggest night.

Because these are some seriously classic Tweets, we’ll just let Omarion run with his diatribe for a bit.

Take it away, pissed off artist!

• “Post to be” is one of the greatest R&B collaborations ever. CB, Jhene, & myself been in the game 10+. 


• The odds have always been against me. I constantly prove you wrong. I’ll consistently do great things & you will have to celebrate me.


• This isn’t a “im upset” (post to be) rant. This is a- ok so that wasn’t good enough. I’ll be back. Have my Grammy’s ready.


• The game has long changed since I was introduced to it. They want to still treat me like I’m a new to this. My moment is coming trust.


• So when it’s all said & done. Remember. I prophesied it. It’s my destiny. I was destined. Chosen.


• Since y’all here! Answer the question. What other song can u name that didn’t have a rapper for a collab!? & don’t be disrespectful. Answer the question.

The tracks that were nominated for Best R&B Performance included Tamar Braxton’s “If I Don’t Have You,” Andra Day’s “Rise Up,” Hiatus Kaiyote’s “Breathing Underwater,” Jeremih’s “Planes” featuring J. Cole, and The Weeknd’s “Earned It.”

And Omarion did at least spend one Tweet sending some props to those up for the award he craves so badly.

“Congratulations to all the nominees!” he wrote. “Enjoy this milestone.”
