The 8 best performances of the Grammys 2012

The ceremony number 54 Grammy Awards to be held on Sunday 12 at Staples Center Los Angeles, meet and award the largest music industry and as usual expectations about the live performances are great .


Musicians are performing for more than 25 million people are expected to be heard, but above all, are musicians performing live for their colleagues. Some of the stars who agreed to this great undertaking are: Taylor Swift, Foo Fighters, Nicky Minaj, Bruno Mars, Adele, Paul McCartney, Katy Perry and acting together for the first time, Coldplay and Rihanna, among others.


But remember is live, here we consider the actions that have been the best in past editions of the Grammys. Hopefully one of the Sunday performance achieved in this legendary placed Top 8.




Many performances have managed to remain etched in our memory forever, as Pink and trapeze, or have made us wonder what came first the egg or Lady Gaga? But great shows we always mean quality. Sometimes you do not need large corps de ballet costumes or just a powerful voice and strength to perform a song emblematic. So did Christina Aguilera in 2007 as a tribute to James Brown played one of his classic songs: This is a Man's World.


It is difficult to talk about good performances and leave out Michael Jackson. Basically any event or award which has made the King of Pop, his performance always noted for its unparalleled talent and charisma. That is why despite its simplicity, we remember his performance in 1988 when he played Man in The Mirror making the whole theater ovacionara thrill and feet.


But talent and big stagings are not exclusive, in 2009 the performance of Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, TI, Kanye West and a very pregnant MIA screamed the public. These five bad guys took the stage to perform with full force Swagga Like Us. Best rap in 2009 with a proposal aesthetic reminiscent of the elegance of the Big Bands of the 40s.

In 2009, another performance left the audience speechless and was Radiohead who invited them to play with the marching band at the University of Southern California (USC). The unusual ensemble performed a unique version of 15 Steps in which Thom Yorke accompanied with its usual and spastic dancing. Unique and unforgettable.

And also because rock fans can get excited and punk with a performance of the Grammy Awards, we mention the passionate performance of Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Little Steven and David Grohl playing London Calling in 2003 as a tribute to Joe Strummer, the Legendary singer and guitarist of British band The Clash, after his disappearance in late 2002.

Ricky Martin and his hips in 1999, when they put Latin flavor to the ceremony with the sticky The cup of life. The audience fell exhausted to the Puerto Rican Elvis, and even Madonna could not resist the temptation to get close to Ricky and tell him how much she admired him.

Madonna and Gorillaz ... Do we need further explanation?

Finally Christina, Pink, Lil Kim, Mya and Patti Labelle Lady Marmalade playing, the song that, willingly or not, out loud or just in the shower, everyone sang in 2002. Let me hear ya'll flow sistas!
