Lady Gaga transformed her piano into a giant bird, complete with feathers - so really, one of her more understated awards show performances. This performance further convinced us that SZA was #snubbed for Best New Artist. "Broken Clocks" was an unusual choice for the R&B artist to perform at the Grammys, given the immense popularity of hits "Love Galore" and "The Weekend," but she sang the heck out of it in front of a "Matrix"-esque backdrop. SZA sings the music of the edgy youth, a concept best captured by her outfit: a cheerleader top and pair of sweatpants, both cut up. (Remember that " burrito " disaster?) It probably could've done without that backup dancer, too. The performance was underwhelming given the energy of the song, but we're commending its lack of Justin Bieber.

And also how you sing one live.ĭonald Glover, a.k.a Childish Gambino, performed "Terrified" with an updated-for-2018 Teddy Pendergrass vibe. This is how you rock a white suit while singing an R&B song. Hello, Sam Smith? I hope you are taking notes. And Cardi B just being Cardi B is enough to lift the spirits of anyone with a beating heart. Bruno Mars and Cardi B, in head-to-toe Cross Colours attire, kept the "In Living Color" tribute strong while performing "Finesse." Cardi B wore a giant medallion around her neck, and Bruno Mars did the running man as if it was both "House Party" and "House Party 2." As to be expected with Bruno Mars, this performance was incredibly well produced with very, very good dancing. Thank heavens for these two and their resurrection of new jack swing.
