 The three and a half hour show showed the impact corona had on the music industry. The production value focused more to highlight singers and talent of this past year such as artists Taylor Swift to Bad Bunny to Lil Baby.  Beyoncé won multiple awards giving her the title of the female artist with the most Grammys ever won. Harry Styles opened up the show with his performance of Watermelon Sugar with comedian Trevor Noah hosting the socially distant award show.    At the Grammys, besides the pre-recorded performances, the audience was only a couple dozen of award winners such as Noah Cyrus, Meg the Stallion, Billie Eilish and even Beyonce and Jayz were in attendance. Favorite performances of the night include teen heartthrob Harry Styles and Dua Lipa both with massive radio hits Watermelon Sugar and Levitating and Don't Start Now. Megan Thee Stallion also sang Savage remix as well as Body.  Surprised large productions include Rock Star by Da Baby, Lil Baby's T...

Asking things and bringing up hardsh...

His musical performance was miles ahead better than the skits.  Publications go on to talk about how SNL isn't the same and not as good as it once was but even with the hosts this past year I beg to differ. TV shows try to cater toward its audience and that changes week to week and with media becoming more and more involved,  I'm sure it's difficult to nail perfectly every week. Social media and streaming shows though definitely boomed this year for sure though. Netflix and Hulu and HBO are huge. I'm sure back in the day there were less lawyers involved with SNL and working with ads and do...
