>> OH, HEY.
GIVE IT UP FOR BAD BUNNY, EVERYBODY!
WOW!
[ APPLAUSE ] WOW, THAT WAS INCREDIBLE.
ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE.
YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME I LISTEN TO HIM, I GET HIPS I NEVER KNEW I
HAD.
IT MAKES TRUMP WANT TO LEARN SPANISH.
THAT'S WHAT IT DOES.
[ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ] THIS IS IT, PEOPLE!
WELCOME TO THE GRAMMYS, EVERYBODY!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] WELCOME TO IT.
WE MADE IT.
WE'RE BACK!
AND I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO BE BACK AS YOUR HOST TONIGHT.
MY JOB IS TO BE YOUR EYES, YOUR EARS.
I'LL BE FLOATING AROUND THIS AM RADIO.
THINK OF ME LIKE A CHINESE SPY BALLOON.
THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING RIGHT NOW.
[ LAUGHTER ] GATHERING ALL THE INFORMATION
YOU WANT.
JUST LOOK AT ALL THE FACES.
WE GOT THE BEST MUSICIANS, THE BEST PERFORMERS, BEST PRODUCERS
IN THE WORLD.
EVERY SONG ON TIKTOK THAT YOU HEAR, THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO MADE
THEM.
THIS IS THEM.
AND WHEN I SAY WE HAVE THE BIGGEST NAMES, I MEAN THE
BIGGEST NAMES IN THE ROOM.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
LL COOL J, MADURO IN THE ROOM.
LOOK AT THIS ROOM.
IT'S INSANE!
IT'S THE WHO'S WHO'S EVERYBODY.
WE GOT QUEST AND THE GANG.
ARE YOU KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?
WE GOT BEYONCE'S IN THE ROOM, PEOPLE.
[ APPLAUSE ] YOU UNDERSTAND HOW AMAZING THIS
IS RIGHT NOW?
YOU UNDERSTAND, BEYONCE IS NOMINATED FOR HER ALBUM
"RENAISSANCE," WHICH, BY THE WAY WAS BETTER THAN ANYTHING FROM
THE ACTUAL RENAISSANCE, IN MY OPINION.
THE RENAISSANCE WAS JUST PICTURES OF GRAPES AND STUFF.
BEYONCE TOOK IT UP ANOTHER LEVEL.
IN FACT, I WAS SO INSPIRED BY THE LYRICS OF "BREAK MY SOUL,"
THAT I ACTUALLY QUIT MY JOB.
THAT'S HOW POWERFUL THAT WAS.
I JUST WISH BEYONCE HAD ALSO WRITTEN TABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
HAVING SAVINGS BEFORE YOU QUIT YOUR JOB.
HARRY STYLES IS TONIGHT, EVERYBODY!
[ APPLAUSE ] THAT'S RIGHT.
WHAT CAN YOU SAY ABOUT THIS MAN THAT HASN'T BEEN SAID?
INCREDIBLE ALBUM, MIND-BLOWING -- WHAT IS IT
15-NIGHT RUN AT MSG AND THE FORUM?
WOMEN THROW THEIR PANTIES AT THIS MAN AND THEN HE PUTS THEM
ON AND HE LOOKS BETTER IN THEM THAN THEY DO.
EASILY THE WORLD'S SEXIEST MAN.
SEX SYMBOL OF THE GLOBE, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT THEY KILLED
OFF THE GREEN M&M.
THIS IS THE ROOM, PEOPLE.
WE GOT L.A.'S VERY OWN KENDRICK LAMAR JOINING US IN THE
BUILDING.
[ APPLAUSE ] THE MAN IS SUPER TALENTED.
HE'S GOT GRAMMYS.
HIS ALBUM WAS A THERAPY SESSION THAT EARNED HIM MULTIPLE GRAMMY
NOMINATIONS.
ALL MY GOT ME WAS HELPING ME OVERCOME MY CHILDHOOD TRAUMA.
USELESS.
[ LAUGHTER ] FOR NOW WE'RE GOING TO BE
TALKING ABOUT TRAUMA.
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT THERAPY.
FROM COMPTON'S FINEST ALL THE WAY TO BROOKLYN'S FINEST.
THAT'S RIGHT, JAY-Z'S GOING TO BE IN THE HOUSE WITH US.
JAY-Z'S GOING TO BE PERFORMING.
IT'S GOING TO BE SO SPECIAL.
AND I'M OOH LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BECAUSE JAY-Z COULD'VE BEEN
ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TONIGHT.
BUT HE'S HERE WITH US, AND I APPRECIATE THAT.
LIZZO'S JOINING US.
THAT'S LIZZO OVER THERE.
OH, I SEE YOU, LIZZO.
[ APPLAUSE ] LOOK AT THAT SMILE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON EVERYTHING, THE TV SHOWS, TAKING OVER THE
WORLD, KILLING THE HATERS ON INSTAGRAM AND TWITTER.
I LOVE IT.
THE MOST FAMOUS FLUTE PLAYER IN THE WORLD SINCE I'M SURE THERE
WERE OTHERS -- BUT YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
[ LAUGHTER ] AND YOU WANT TO STICK AROUND
BECAUSE LIZZO IS PERFORMING TONIGHT AT EXACTLY "BAD B --
O'CLOCK."
I'VE NEVER SEEN A ROOM THIS STACK.
TAYLOR SWIFT IS GOING TO BE WITH US.
[ APPLAUSE ] OH, SHE'S RIGHT THERE!
LOOK AT THIS.
SHE'S RIGHT THERE.
SOLD MORE ALBUMS THAN ANY OTHER HUMAN ON THE PLANET LAST YEAR.
THAT'S RIGHT.
MORE THAN ANYBODY.
THE ONLY MUSIC WE LISTEN TO MORE THAN TAYLOR'S MUSIC WAS THE HOLD
MUSIC FOR SOUTHWEST AIRLINES.
THEY'VE GOT THE REAL STREAMING NUMBERS.
AND I LOVE YOUR SONG "ANTIHERO."
MY ANTI-IS ALSO A HERO.
HER NAME IS BEATRICE.
WE'VE GOT SO MANY INCREDIBLE GREATS PERFORMING TONIGHT.
EVERYONE FROM STEVIE WONDER TO KASEY MUSGRAVES.
WE'VE GOT FROM BONNIE RAITT TO LIL WAYNE.
YOU DON'T WANT TO MISS ANY OF IT.
EVERY GENERATION, EVERY GENRE.
TONIGHT MY JOB IS JUST TO BE THE HOST, THE BEST HOST I CAN BE.
AND TO DO THAT I TRY AND LEARN WHAT EVERYBODY'S INTO.
I TRY AND KNOW MY GUESTS.
FOR INSTANCE, I KNOW THAT LL COOL J REALLY LOVES BREAKFAST
CEREALS.
I KNOW THAT CARDI B IS OBSESSED WITH PRESIDENTS.
THAT'S A REAL THING.
I ALSO KNOW THAT ADELE LOVES TEA.
HER VEGAS SHOW IS PHENOMENAL.
AND THIS IS ONE OF THE STRANGEST THINGS I FOUND OUT.
THE PERSON THAT ADELE HAS ALWAYS WANTED TO MEET BUT NEVER HAVE IS
DWAYNE JOHNSON.
YOU'VE NEVER MET HIM.
YEAH.
AND THEN I FOUND OUT THAT HE'S A HUGE FAN OF YOURS, TOO.
AND I DON'T HAVE DWAYNE JOHNSON HERE TONIGHT, BUT I DO HAVE
SOMEONE CALLED "THE ROCK."
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] ADELE, MEET THE ROCK.
THE ROCK, MEET ADELE.
FIRST TIME EVER!
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ] ALL RIGHT.
YOU TWO GET ACQUAINTED.
WE'RE GOING TO KEEP THIS SHOW MOVING.
NOW, BEFORE WE GET INTO OUR NEXT PERFORMANCE, I WANTED TO LET YOU
KNOW THAT EARLIER TODAY AT THE PRE-SHOW, THE PREMIERE CEREMONY,
BEYONCE WON TWO AWARDS WHICH PUTS HER JUST TWO WIN AS WAY
FROM BREAKING THE ALL-TIME RECORD OF HAVING THE MOST GRAMMY
WINS OF ANY INDIVIDUAL EVER.
EVER, PEOPLE!
[ APPLAUSE ] TONIGHT WE COULD ALL WITNESS
HISTORY.
AND EVEN IF SHE DOESN'T BREAK THE RECORD, SHE STILL GETS TO BE
BEYONCE, SO IT'S A WIN/WIN.
FOR THE 65th ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS WE DECIDED TO DO
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
WE'RE GOING TO BE ASKING SOME OF THE PEOPLE WHO'VE PLAYED BIG
PARTS IN OUR PERFORMER'S MUSICAL SUCCESS STORIES AND THEIR LIVES
TO INTRODUCE THEM.
THESE ARE THE PEOPLE THE ARTISTS WOULD THANK IF WE DIDN'T PLAY
THEM ALL AFTER 25 SECONDS.
HERE ARE THREE PEOPLE WHO ARGUABLY LOVE HER EVEN MORE THAN
HER BIGGEST FANS.
HER WIFE CATHERINE AND THEIR BEAUTIFUL CHILDREN ELIJAH AND
EVANGELINE.
[ APPLAUSE ] >> MILLIONS OF YOU WATCHING
TONIGHT FELL IN LOVE WITH OUR NEXT PERFORMER JUST FOUR YEARS
AGO WHEN SHE TOOK THE GRAMMY STAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME AND
DELIVERED ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC PERFORMANCES IN GRAMMY HISTORY.
I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MARRY HER MORE THAN A DECADE AGO, SO I WAS
WAY AHEAD OF YOU.
IT MEANS THE WORLD TO ME TO STAND HERE TONIGHT WITH OUR TWO
BEAUTIFUL DAUGHTERS BY MY SIDE, AND INTRODUCE, IN OUR HUMBLE
OPINION, ONE OF THE GREATEST, MOST AUTHENTIC ARTISTS AND HUMAN
BEINGS ON THE PLANET.
HERE TO ROCK OUR FACES OFF WITH "BROKEN HORSES" FROM HER
GRAMMY-NOMINATED ALBUM "IN THESE SILENT DAYS," MY WIFE, AND THEIR
MAMA -- >> Together: BRANDI CARLILE!

BAHAMAS.
NOW, WE'RE GOING TO BE TAKING A CLOSER LOOK AT ONE OF THE MOST
COMPETITIVE CATEGORIES IN GRAMMY HISTORY.
OUR NOMINEES FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
AND WHO BETTER TO HELP US WITH THAT THAN THE FANS THEMSELVES?
YOU SEE, THIS WEEK THEY'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WHO DESERVES TO TAKE
HOME MUSIC'S BIGGEST PRIZE.
AND IT TURNS OUT IT'S A LOT EASIER TO HEAR WHAT THE FANS ARE
SAYING WHEN THERE AREN'T 20,000 OF THEM SCREAMING IN A STADIUM.
TAKE A LOOK.
♪ >> OKAY, IT'S TIME TO TALK ALBUM
OF THE YEAR.
[ LAUGHTER ] BEYONCE'S "RENAISSANCE" GAVE US
LOVE, JOY, DANCE.
IT GAVE US ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THESE
PAST COUPLE YEARS.
BUT IT ALSO GAVE US THE STRENGTH TO KEEP GOING.
I'M ALICIA, AND YOU KNOW "RENAISSANCE" IS ALBUM OF THE
YEAR.
>> YOU PUT THIS SONG ON!
YEAH!
>> THESE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS OF MY LIFE HAVE NOT BEEN EASY.
"RENAISSANCE" JUST GIVES ME THAT MOTIVATION TO KEEP GOING.
I FELT LIKE BEYONCE WROTE THE SONG "CHURCH GIRL" SPECIFICALLY
FOR ME.
IT JUST SPEAKS TO THE DUALITY OF BEING MORE THAN ONE THING.
YOU CAN BE SPIRITUAL, BUT YOU ALSO NEED TO TURN UP.
SHE'S NOT TELLING US WHAT'S OUT THERE.
SHE'S SETTING THE TRENDS AND TELLING US WHAT NEEDS TO BE OUT
THERE.
AND THAT IS JOY, THAT IS HAPPY AES.
LIKE, YOU PUT THAT ALBUM ON FRONT TO BACK, NO SKIPS.
YOU GET UP, YOU DANCE.
COME ON -- ♪ YOU WON'T BREAK MY SOUL
THAT'S WHAT WE NEED.

BECAUSE BAD BUNNY IS THE MOST STREAMED ALBUM OF THE YEAR ON
THE GLOBE.
HI, I'M NATALIA.
THE ALBUM BY BAD BUNNY IS THE ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
♪ LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT "BENITO."
I LOVE THAT HE'S PLAYFUL.
I LOVE THAT HE'S GOOFY.
HE HAS A MOTTO THAT IS -- [ SPEAKING NON-ENGLISH ]
WHICH MEANS, I DO WHATEVER I WANT, I DON'T CARE WHAT PEOPLE
THINK.
HE DRESSES UP IN DRAG.
HE KISSES HIS BACKUP DANCERS OF ANY GENDER.
DISMANTLING MACHISMO.
AS A QUEER LATINO WOMAN THIS IS SO IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE HE IS
STARTING CONVERSATIONS AND NORMALIZING INCLUSIVITY.
BAD BUNNY PLAYS BY HIS OWN RULES, AND HE'S JUST OPENING UP
THE DIALOGUE.
THIS ALBUM IS BREAKING SO MANY RECORDS.
AND IT'S JUST SHOWING THE WORLD JUST THE POWER OF
SPANISH-SPEAKING MUSIC.
HE IS BEING HIMSELF, AND SO MANY PEOPLE ARE RESONATING WITH HIM.
HE IS THE MOST STREAMED ARTIST ON THE GLOBE.
>> THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE DOES, HARRY!
>> BUT BAD BUNNY DOES IT BETTER.
[ LAUGHTER ] >> I LOVE BAD BUNNY ALSO.
BUT GUESS WHERE HE WAS LAST NIGHT?
AT HARRY STYLES' CONCERT.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
SO MY 78-YEAR-OLD GRANDMOTHER HAPPENS TO BE HARRY STYLES'
NUMBER ONE FAN.
SO WE ARE FLYING TO LOS ANGELES TO SEE HIM IN CONCERT.
>> LET ME TELL YOU WHY I LIKE HARRY STYLES.
ASIDE FROM BEING GOOD-LOOKING, WE'RE NOT GOING TO TALK ABOUT
THAT.
I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT HIM.
I LIKE HIS OUTLOOK, HIS SONGS.

PLACE TO BE.
IT'S YOUR FIRST TIME THE GRAMMYS, YOU'RE HERE SUPPORTING
YOUR ARTIST, EVERYBODY'S EXCITED.
HARRY'S SITTING CLOSE, BUT I NEED YOU TO STAY RIGHT HERE.

♪ >> Trevor: CONGRATULATIONS TO
KENDRICK LAMAR.
YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT, MUSIC IS MADE UP OF FOUR KEY
ELEMENTS.
RHYTHM, BEATS, MELODY, AND HARMONY.
AND I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THAT LAST ONE A LOT THIS PAST
YEAR, HARMONY.
DIFFERENT NOTES COMING TOGETHER IN A MOMENT TO MAKE SOMETHING
MORE BEAUTIFUL.
SO MUCH DIVIDES US RIGHT NOW, BUT MUSIC IS ABOUT UNITING US
THROUGH OUR DIFFERENCES.
IT'S BLACK KIDS AND WHITE KIDS REJECTING SEGREGATION IN THE
1950s, AND INSTEAD BLENDING R&B, COUNTRY, AND EVEN GOSPEL INTO
ROCK AND ROLL.
IN THE 1980s, A YOUNG BLACK RAPPER FROM QUEENS AND A JEWISH
WHITE KID IN HIS NYU DORM CAME TOGETHER TO MAKE SOME OF THE
GREATEST HIP-HOP OF ALL TIME.
THEY MADE A POWERFUL NEW SOUND TOGETHER BECAUSE THEY WERE
DIFFERENT.
YOU SEE, MUSIC ISN'T JUST THE HARMONY OF SOUND, IT'S THE
HARMONY OF HUMAN BEINGS, OF DIFFERENT RACES, GENDERS,
RELIGIONS, IDENTITIES, SEXUAL ORIENTATIONS, KNOWING WE'RE
DIFFERENT BUT REJECTING DIVISION TO FIND MOMENTS OF JOY AND UNITY
AND HARMONY.
AND THAT'S WHAT MUSIC IS ALL ABOUT.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE CELEBRATING HERE TONIGHT.
[ APPLAUSE ] NOW, WE WOULD LIKE TO TAKE A
MOMENT TO REMEMBER SOME OF THE GREAT PEOPLE IN MUSIC WE LOST
THIS YEAR AND REFLECT ON ALL OF THE LIGHT THEY BROUGHT INTO OUR
LIVES.

TO GO VIRAL ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
BUT LIZZO DOES IT TIME AND TIME AGAIN, AND SHE DOES IT EXACTLY
ON THIS ALBUM.

>> AL I'M SAYING IS ADELE DOESN'T NEED A DANCE TO GO VIRAL
ON TIKTOK.
MY NAME'S COLYN, AND "30" DEFINITELY DESERVES ALBUM OF THE
YEAR.
I SAW HER RESIDENCY OVER WINTER BREAK.
IT WAS THE BEST SHOW I'VE EVER SEEN.

YOU TRY CRYING.

I'VE SEEN HER 32 TIMES IN 15 YEARS.
SHE'S TAKING HER SONGWRITING UP TO THAT ICONIC LEVEL AND ALWAYS
REMAINS TRUE TO HERSELF.

THANK YOU FOR HONORING ME TO ALL THE ACADEMY THAT SURROUNDS ME
WITH SO MUCH SUPPORT AND APPRECIATES THE ART OF
SONGWRITING, AS I DO.
I WAS SO INSPIRED FOR THIS SONG BY THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF THE
LOVE AND THE GRACE AND THE GENEROSITY OF SOMEONE THAT
DONATES THEIR BELOVED ORGANS TO HELP ANOTHER PERSON LIVE.
AND THIS STORY WAS SO SIMPLE AND SO BEAUTIFUL FOR THESE TIMES,
AND PEOPLE HAVE BEEN RESPONDING TO THIS SONG, PARTLY BECAUSE OF
HOW MUCH I LOVE, AND WE ALL LOVE JOHN PRINE, AND THAT WAS THE
INSPIRATION FOR THE MUSIC FOR THIS SONG, AND TELLING A STORY
FROM THE INSIDE.
AND I JUST -- I DON'T WRITE A LOT OF SONGS, BUT I'M SO PROUD
THAT YOU APPRECIATE THIS ONE AND WHAT THIS MEANS FOR ME AND FOR
THE REST OF THE SONGWRITERS WHO I WOULD NOT BE UP HERE TONIGHT
IF IT WASN'T FOR THE ART OF THE GRAT SOUL-DIGGING, HARD-WORKING
PEOPLE THAT PUT THESE SONGS AND IDEAS TO MUSIC.
SO, I THANK MY TEAM FOR HELPING ME GET THIS RECORD OUT.

BECAUSE UNLIKE THE U.S. GOVERNMENT, THE GRAMMYS KEEPS
ITS CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS CLASSIFIED.
[ LAUGHTER ] BUT BEFORE THAT FOR THE LAST
TIME LET'S HEAR AGAIN FROM OUR NOMINEES BIGGEST FANS.
>> IN 20 YEARS SINCE A RAP ALBUM HAS WON, AND I THINK KENDRICK
CAN TAKE IT HOME.
MY NAME IS JENN.
I'VE BEEN A DAY ONE KENDRICK FAN.
I WAS AT HIS VERY FIRST CONCERT IN DALLAS IN A LITTLE BITTY
CLUB.
IN 2017 I HAD A GoFundMe SET UP TO EARN MONEY TO GET A NEW
ACCESSIBLE VEHICLE.
KENDRICK LAMAR FOUND OUT ABOUT IT AND DECIDED TO SURPRISE ME.
AND HE BOUGHT ME A BRAND-NEW VAN.
I CAN RELATE TO HIS REALNESS AND HIS SPIRITUALITY, KIND OF HIS
OUTLOOK ON THE WORLD.
AND HE'S VULNERABLE IN HIS MUSIC.
HIS MUSICIANSHIP IS JUST AMAZING, AND IT'S CHANGED
HIP-HOP.
WITH EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOING ON, WE WANTED SOMEBODY THAT
COULD COME AND LIFT OUR SPIRITS, MAKE US FEEL LIKE WE COULD KEEP
GOING.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHY IT SHOULD BE ALBUM OF THE YEAR.
>> SO ABBA DESERVES TO WIN ALBUM OF THE YEAR THE MOST.
BECAUSE AFTER 40 WHOLE YEARS OF NOT RELEASING MUSIC, THEY
RELEASED THEIR ALBUM "VOYAGE."
>> HI, MY NAME IS COLE, AND I AM 1,000 PERCENT OBSESSED WITH
ABBA.
THE CHRISTMAS OF 2018 MY HOUSE BURNT DOWN.
IT REALLY BROUGHT ME INTO A DEEP DEPRESSION.
AND I REALLY COULDN'T GET OUT OF THE DEPRESSION UNTIL AN
OPPORTUNITY AROSE THAT SUMMER TO PERFORM "MAMA MIA" IN SANTA
ROSA, CALIFORNIA, WHICH WAS THE BEST SUMMER OF MY LIFE.
ABBA TRANSFORMED ME.
ABBA EMBODIES HAPPINESS.
THIS ALBUM HAS A MATURITY THAT ONLY PEOPLE WHO HAVE TRULY LIVED
CAN CREATE.
>> SO YOU FEEL LIKE THIS THE ONE?
>> I HAVE GOOD VIBES.
[ LAUGHTER ] I HAVE GOOD VIBES COMING IN.
>> WITH MUSIC OF THE SPHERES AND WHY I THINK IT DESERVES ALBUM OF
THE YEAR, IT'S SO UPLIFTING AND SO POSITIVE THAT YOU WANT TO
CRY.
♪ I'VE ALWAYS CONNECTED TO
COLDPLAY BECAUSE, GROWING UP IN JUST SUCH A BIG FAMILY, I DIDN'T
REALLY FEEL LIKE A LOT OF THINGS WERE MINE.
COLDPLAY FELT LIKE THE FIRST THING THAT FELT LIKE MY OWN.
I HAD JUST GONE THROUGH A BREAKUP, JUST FELT A LITTLE LOST
AND DIRECTIONLESS.
COLDPLAY WAS COMING TO TOWN.
MY SISTER JORDAN, SHE WAS, LIKE, JOEY, YOU NEED THIS FOR YOUR
SOUL, LET'S GO.
SO I WENT TO THE COLDPLAY CONCERT TONIGHT.
I WAS LISTENING TO THE LYRICS, AND CHRIS MARTIN BECAME MY
THERAPIST.
IT WAS JUST, LIKE, PROBABLY THE BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO.
WHEN I LISTEN TO "MUSIC OF THE SPHERES," I KIND OF IMAGINE IT
AS LIKE A COSMIC HUG FROM THE UNIVERSE SAYING, LIKE, IT'S
GOING TO BE OKAY.
ALSO, CHRIS MARTIN IS THIS SWEET BABY ANGEL AND HE HAS TO BE
PROTECTED AT ALL TIMES.
[ LAUGHTER ] THAT'S IT FOR, YEAH.
>> MARY J. BLIGE, QUEEN OF SOUL HIP-HOP AND R&B.
SHE HAS BEEN IN THIS JOURNEY FOR 30 YEARS.
AND TO NOW BE AT A PLACE WHERE WE HAVE ALL BEEN THROUGH
SOMETHING, WE CAN ALL STILL WAKE UP AND FEEL LIKE THE WORLD NEEDS
US, SO WE'VE GOT TO FIND OUR PEACE, LIKE SHE SAYS, ALBUM OF
THE YEAR, BRING IT HERE.
♪ TELL MYSELF GOOD MORNING GORGEOUS ♪
>> WHEN I WAS IN THIRD GRADE IS WHEN I BECAME A FAN OF MARY J.
BLIGE.
I RELATED SO MUCH TO HER PASSION, TO HER SOUL.
WE'VE BEEN THERE THROUGH IT ALL WITH HER, THE UPS, THE DOWNS,
THE GOOD AND THE BAD.
