Grammy 2015, i vincitori sono stati Sam Smith, Beyoncé e Beck

E anche per il 2015 i Grammy Awards hanno decretato i loro vincitori. Il più atteso evento musicale (i grammofoni d'oro sono il premio più ambito da ogni artista) si è svolto allo Staples Center di Los Angeles la sera dell'8 febbraio: quali sono stati i musicisti premiati? E in che categoria?
Se non avete seguito la cerimonia in streaming ecco un riassunto della serata!

I pronostici fatti alla vigilia si sono rivelati un buco nell'acqua. Il trionfatore assoluto è stato Sam Smith, sbaragliando tutti i concorrenti. Il cantante inglese si è aggiudicato un poker di statuette: le quattro categorie in cui ha prevalso sono state Best New Artist, Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year - entrambe per "Stay With Me (Darkchild Version)" - e Best Pop Vocal Album per il suo disco d'esordio "In The Lonely Hour".

Molto bene anche Pharrell Williams: la sua "Happy", vero tormentone dello scorso anno, gli ha fatto guadagnare due grammofoni d'oro - per Best Pop Solo Performance e Best Music Video - mentre "G I R L", il disco da cui era stata estratta, ha vinto come Best Urban Contemporary Album.

La musica black ha visto incoronati gli indiscussi re e regina di rap e R&B:  e . "The Marshall Mathers LP2" è stato votato come Best Rap Album e il duetto del rapper con Rihanna in "The Monster" è stata giudicata la Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.
Queen B e il marito con "Drunk in Love" ha ricevuto il doppio riconoscimento per R&B Performance e Best R&B Song.

I duetti sono stati i grandi protagonisti dell'evento. Anche Lady Gaga e grazie all'acclamatissimo album "Cheek To Cheek" si sono visti premiare per il Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album; il miglior duetto pop dell'anno è stato quello realizzato da con Christina Aguilera in "Say Something".

A sorpresa è stato  con il suo "Morning Phase" a portarsi a casa il premio per il miglior album dell'anno, il preferito anche tra quelli rock battendo Jack White con "Lazzaretto" (premiato invece per la Best Rock Performance).
