If the Grammys producers were looking to get everyone talking, they couldn’t have chosen a better option with Lady Gaga. As the lights flashed on the stage, we see what appears to be “The Fame Factory”. As she’s boasted by her own hype man, Gaga suddenly emerges wearing a strikingly bold outfit from head to toe. The 2X Grammy Award(Best Dance Recording and Best Electronic/Dance Album) winner opens with a jazzy version of her #1 hit “Poker Face”, which later kicks back into its original form. The real treat doesn’t come in until the latter of the performance when Lady Gaga reappears on the piano with special guest Elton John. The two classically trained pianists sing back and fourth to one another covered in ashes on “Speechless” (The Fame Monster).

Beyonce in her black Atelier dress, sashayed to the stage in her Giuseppes giving audiences a rock styled performance of “If I were A Boy”. Later Knowles transitions into Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta Know”. Knowles earns the most wins for a female tonight. Beyonce leaves the 52nd Annual Grammys with 6 awards in total: Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, Best R&B Song, Best Contemporary R&B Album, Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance , Song of the year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
