9. Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus duet of "Fifteen". Taylor's guitar was beautiful. I just love her! And Miley can sometimes annoy me, but I have to remind myself she's only 16.
8. Sir Paul McCartney and Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters performing "I Saw Her Standing There.
7. Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland's winning speech for Best Group or Duo. "So I told myself I was going to be cool because Paul McCartney and Coldplay are here. But I am not cool! Freak out!"
6. "Stay" by Sugarland and "Chasing Pavement" by Adele...two songs being played over and over on my iPod. Adele singing in her stockings cause her shoes were hurting her feet was too cute!
5. "Reach Out For Me" Tribute to The Four Tops with Jamie Foxx and Ne-Yo. Check out "Miss Independent" by Ne-Yo featuring Jamie Foxx.
4. Radiohead and USC Trojan Marching Band performing "15 Steps". Thom Yorke’s sweet dance moves made me want to get up and join him. Radiohead has been receiving Grammy nods since 1998, but this was the first time they agreed to appear on the Grammy’s.
3. Waking up not knowing your last name. Carrie Underwood put’s all other American Idol winners to shame.
2. Slipping into the lava. Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder's collaboration on "Burnin’ Up" and "Superstition". Those Jonas Brothers are turning into very attractive men. I always love how they are dressed so I really enjoyed the rocker look they were pulling off. V-necks, skinny jeans, vests, scarves. I approve.
1. JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE - First, it was him singing with Al Green and Keith Urban on "Let's Stay Together". I was pleased to have him explain his Memphis General Store (bait, tackle, burgers) and his soulful rendition of the song. BUT then, he came back out to play piano and give vocals for T.I.'s "Dead and Gone". Best performance of the night, in my opinion. I had to go and download the song as soon as I heard it. "Character will take you places, money can't"
Honorable Mentions

- Lil’ Wayne and Robin Thicke with their New Orleans tribute.
- Lil’ Wayne’s win for Best Rap Album. His daughters looked so proud!
