Last night’s Grammys crowned what’s been a glorious year for music, and with the disaster of the LA fires still barely a memory, it’s clear that the entertainment community was ready for a much-needed morale boost.
Given that Grammy’s are, as ever, chosen by committee (rather than being the raw truth of a public vote) there’s always that whiff of the ‘school sports day’ when it comes to selecting the winners. All of the big bases need hitting and if you win big in one race then you have to let someone else have a turn elsewhere… And it seems that the night’s choices – perhaps in the interests of spreading the love as far and wide as possible – were more diplomatic and considered than ever.
