1. Adele takes home six awards in 2012 – in classic Adele fashion
In 2012, Adele equalled Beyonce’s record from the previous year for most awards won in one night. She bagged Album of the Year; Best Pop Vocal Album; Record of the Year; Song of the Year; Best Music Video and Best Pop Solo Performances. Adele collected her trophies in classic Adele style shouting ‘Mum, girl did good!’ and ‘oooo I got a bit of snot’.
2. Jamie Foxx ogles Beyonce in front of Jay-Z
In 2014, Jamie Foxx presented the award for Best Rap Sung Collaboration and he just couldn’t keep his thoughts to himself commenting ‘Blue Ivy’s mum is Hot’ and ‘Sorry Jay I didn’t mean to stare.’ Lucky for Jamie, Jay-Z didn’t seem to mind too much, as when he won that award for ‘Holy Grail’ he gave Jamie a big hug…..
3. Beyonce and Jay-Z open The 2014 GRAMMYs with ‘Drunk in Love’
This was the performance that got Jamie Foxx ogling. Queen Bey opened the 2014 GRAMMYs with an amazing performance of ‘Drunk in Love’. She was joined half way through by her hubby Jay-Z and it was mega! SURFBOARD. SURFBOARD.

8. Amy Winehouse wins 5 GRAMMYs live from London
In 2008, visa issues meant Amy couldn’t travel to the US for the GRAMMYs but that didn’t stop her dominating the ceremony. A live feed from London allowed the singer to perform two tracks and also collect her awards live on the night – her face when she wins Record of the Year is just the cutest….
