Un trionfo di luci, colori e paillettes per i Grammy 2020. La kermesse che premia un anno di buona musica, si è svolti a Los Angeles, allo Staples Centre, nella serata di domenica 26 Gennaio. Tanti gli artisti in gara, tante le canzoni e gli album da premiare, ma a trionfare sono stati i nomi più altisonanti che, nell’anno appena trascorso, hanno dominato le classiche e hanno influenzato il panorama musicale contemporaneo. L’edizione numero 62 dei Grammy Awards? È stato un vero trionfo per il girl power e per la comunità LGBT.
La 18enne Billie Eilish, che eseguirà la colonna sonora del prossimo film di 007, stravince con 5 categorie su 6, tra cui Miglior Canzone e Miglior nuova artista dell’anno. Un vero record per gli ultimi 30 anni della kermesse. Ai Grammy 2020 si è fatto valere anche il rapper Lil Nas X. A soli 21 anni, il suo singolo di debutto, in collaborazione con Billy Ray Cyrus, è stato in vetta alla Billboard Hot 100 per 19 settimane. Di colore e dichiaratamente omosessuale, il rapper ha vinto ben due riconoscimenti. Lizzo si porta a casa solo tre Grammy, anche se di fatto rispetto a Billie Elilsh ne è uscita sconfitta. Beyoncè domina, vincendo il suo 24esimo Grammy Awards grazie a ‘Homecoming’, e Lady Gaga complice il successo di ‘A star is Born’, vince altre due riconoscimenti, come Miglior canzone scritta per i media visuali e Miglior compilation.
In questi Grammy 2020, da segnalare la vittoria di Michelle Obama per l’audio-libro della sua biografia, e il secondo Grammy per Gloria Gaynor all’età di 70 anni. La kermesse ha celebrato inoltre Kobe Bryan, l’icona del basket, morto poche ore prima in un incidente aereo.
