Grammys For U2, Carey, West

The 48th annual Grammy Awards show delivered a mix of classic rock performances and today's cutting-edge music.

U2 grabbed five Grammys, bringing the group's total to 20. Among them: album of the year, best rock album and song of the year. And they rocked the house with a performance during the show, with a little help from Mary J. Blige.

Also performing was Mariah Carey, who is one of the best-selling artists of all time. She solidified her comeback with three more Grammys. It was a good night, but not one for the history books. She had been nominated for eight Grammys – an opportunity to make history, since no woman has ever won more than five in one night and did win three.

Another big winner was Kanye West, who took home three Grammys.
