The real story is Adele<\/a> vs Beyonce<\/a><\/strong> but first let’s get the other stuff out of the way for those who missed the show.<\/p>\n

Chance the Rapper<\/strong> won Best New Artist and he seems well-loved by everyone. I don’t get him, but he loves the Lord, like A LOT.<\/p>\n

Ed Sheeran<\/strong> is a mess. He’s got to go away and rethink his career. His song that goes something about “your body, your body” is more upsetting even than Your Body Is A Wonderland. Leave the body alone, you guys.<\/p>\n

Alicia Keys<\/strong> sported a glorious huge fluffy Afro but did a duet with some lame pseudo-Country girl who wore a cape over a leotard like circus ring leader.<\/p>\n

Keith Urban<\/strong> provided a bathroom break for me and my peers.<\/p>\n

Michael Jackson’s daughter was so pretty and nervous. Props to her for being able to function at all.\u00a0 She tried to get political, as did Katy Perry<\/strong>, who is now blonde. Katy’s tits were outstanding and looked as good as new!<\/p>\n

The Weekend<\/strong> sang a dumb ballad about making someone come. Look, The Weekend and Ed Sheeran, I hate to break it to you but we ladies expect<\/em> to come or you’re gonna die trying, okay? Don’t act like you deserve an award for being into it.<\/p>\n

Lady Gaga<\/strong> joined Metallica<\/strong>, morphing into a head-banger and annoying both James Hetfield and the drummer.<\/p>\n

Then there was a Bee Gees<\/strong> tribute that was truly appalling even by Grammy standards. Demi Lovato<\/strong> left rehab for this travesty, joining Tory Kelly<\/strong> to screech along with some old white guy while the only living Bee Gee mouthed the words from the audience.<\/p>\n

Morris Day and The Time<\/strong> tore it up with their Prince tribute. Bruno Mars<\/strong> gave his all to Let’s Go Crazy but he reaffirmed the sad fact that the likes of Prince<\/strong><\/a> will never be equaled in this world or any other. Bruno, you’re a hottie and we love you for trying.<\/p>\n

Now, Beyonce<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

What can one say that won’t get one killed? She appeared briefly in near nakedness, then reappeared in a gossamer gown that accentuated her pregnancy. She portrayed Mother Earth, a Fertility Goddess, the Universal Daughter and the Patron Saint of little girls, while performing a poetry-slam and sitting on a throne as though ready to push those twins out before our dazzled eyes.<\/p>\n

I haven’t seen a human being so in love with their own self since the advent of Madonna<\/strong>. The camera lingered on her husband and child, to complete the holy trinity. It was a jaw-dropping exercise in self-importance, but if it works for you, good.<\/p>\n

Adele<\/strong> sang a heartfelt tribute to George Michael<\/strong>, with customary grace and conviction.\u00a0 The standing ovation made her eyes tear up. Even Riri<\/strong><\/a> was moved. But when Adele won her first award of the night, Beyonce must’ve been rattled.<\/p>\n

When Adele beat out Beyonce for Album of the Year, it was a shocker. How dare she steal this from Bey, who’s been lauded all year for Lemonade, and for being a game changer as a black role model. It was supposed to be Bey’s night! She came to be worshiped, not to lose.<\/p>\n

But then! Adele said that the award belonged to Beyonce, calling her ‘the artist of my life,’ and an inspiration for 17 years. She spoke directly to Bey in the front row, and in the end, Beyonce was free to cry, whether from disappointment or gratitude we’ll never know. Beyonce mouthed “I love you, I love you!” to Adele, who later broke the award in half.<\/p>\n

What a moment. But Adele made the mistake of saying how much Bey’s album had empowered her “black friends,” so now Black Twitter is offended. Why is it racist for Adele to win and to know she’s not black?<\/p>\n

Never mind, don’t tell me, I don’t want to know. Let us just be thankful that we were spared the horror of Taylor Swift<\/strong>, and that’s something we call all feel good about.<\/p>\n
