Seara de gala de la STAPLES Center din Los Angeles prezentata de LL Cool J si actrita Kate Beckinsale a inceput cu un moment de reculegere pentru decesul lui Whitney Houston de sambata urmat de un recital Bruce Springsteen. De la inceput s-a vorbit despre regretabila disparitie a cantaretei iar pe parcursul serii starurile au mentionat-o des pe Whitney.
Show-ul fost acaparat de Adele, care a castigat cele mai importante premii: "Best Pop Solo Performance" si "Song Of The Year" "Album of the Year " si "Record of the Year". Cu cele primite la gala de la pranz ea a castigat in total toate cele 6 nominalizari. Cantareata si-a demonstrat inca o data calitatile vocale in recitalul care a incins sala si a aratat ca vocea n-a fost afectata de problemele medicale recente. Aceasta a fost primul concert dupa operatia la gat.
Lady Gaga nu a castigat anul acesta niciun premiu desi era nominalizata la 3 categorii.
Foo Fighters si-au mai adaugat inca un premiu pentru "Cea mai buna trupa rock", pe langa cele 4 primite cu cateva ore inainte. Ei sunt ceilalti mari castigatori ai serii.
Si Kanye West a mai colectat inca un premiu pe langa ce stranse in cursul zilei. De data asta unul foarte important: "Best Rap Performance".
Katy Perry a facut show pe scena Grammy Awards 2012.
Rihanna a cantata aseara o varianta foarte apreciata de public a piesei "We found love" impreuna cu trupa Coldplay. De data asta insa premiul pentru cel mai bun album n-a mers la ea ci la Chris Brown.
Premiul pentru "Best Country Album" a fost castigat de trupa "Lady Antebellum".
Jennifer Hudson a interpretat hitul "I will always love you" al lui Whitney Houston ca un omagiu adus cantaretei.
Au mai cantat la Grammy Awords 2012 Bruno Mars, Foo Fighters, Katy Perry, Tylor Swift, David Guetta si Beach Boys
Veterana trupa Beach Boys, care s-a reunit pentru acest eveniment a declarat imediat dupa: "Ne-au trebuit 50 de ani ca sa cantam la Grammy sper sa nu mai treaca alti 50. Am stat langa telefon, asteptand asta."
