56th Annual Grammy Awards

I iniially have no plans to watch this year's 56th Grammy Awards, but I watched the show.

I don't know why, mas prefer ko ang mga previous Grammy Awards. Siguro, matagal na akong hindi nakakapanood ng Grammy Awards. At ngayon ulit ako nakapanood.

I remember na, sa isang edition ng Grammy Awards ay pang-apat sa huli ang category na Best New Artist. One (1) siguro na inuna yung Best New Artist category, dahil may performance later on ang Best New Artist winner na Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Congratulations to Daft Punk for winning five (5) Grammy Awards, and to the nominees and winners.
