While the Grammys failed in the awards department, the show itself was a vast improvement over past years. With a great lineup (Radiohead, Paul McCartney, M.I.A., Kanye West, Al Green, Coldplay), there was some great performances. Here were the best of the night:
Radiohead w/ USC Marching Band – 15 Step
U2 – Get On Your Boots
T.I., Kanye West, M.I.A., Jay-Z, and Lil Wayne – Swagger Like Us
Coldplay w/ Jay – Z – Lost & Viva La Vida
Lil Wayne w/ Robin Thicke – Tie My Hands
Estelle w/ Kanye West – American Boy
