The 5 Best Performances From the 2020 Grammys

The 62nd annual Grammy Awards celebrated the best in music on Sunday night (Jan. 26), with A-list musicians performing their hits and put on larger-than-life tributes.

Last week, ousted Grammys CEO Deborah Dugan took to the Grammys with a sledgehammer, alleging in an equal opportunity complaint that the Recording Academy is rife with rampant sexual misconduct, voter fraud, and racialised and gendered bias. It was a document that has already changed the music industry in a profound and irreversible way, and that probably will continue to do so in the future.

Round of applause. Selena Gomez, Pink and more celebs congratulated Demi Lovato on the bravery and strength she demonstrated on stage during the 2020 Grammy Awards on Sunday, January 26.

Sure, the 2020 Grammys were filled with amazing performances. But, let's be honest, all of the real action happened on the red carpet.

Over the years, there have been a number of all-time great, as well as just plain confounding Grammy Awards performances; during the 2020 telecast Sunday night, most of the performances fell somewhere in the middle.
