2015: BECK BEAT OUT BEYONCÉ FOR BEST ALBUM
2015年:贝克力压碧昂丝赢最佳专辑奖

The rocker's Morning Phase was named album of the year, beating out Pharrell, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith and, most shockingly, Beyoncé, whose surprise album Beyoncé lit the world on fire. Clearly joking, Kanye stormed the stage and pretended to consider interrupting Beck … but then returned to his seat. "Come back!" Beck said, playing along.
这位摇滚歌手的专辑《上午时光》被评为年度最佳专辑,力挫法瑞尔、爱德·希兰、山姆·史密斯,最令小伙伴惊呆的是还有碧昂丝。碧昂丝的力作专辑《碧昂丝》让整个世界狂热不已。带着明显开玩笑的意味,坎耶冲上舞台假装蓄意破坏贝克的表演……然后又回到座位上。贝克说“回来!”之后接着表演。

2014: MACKLEMORE WON, KENDRICK LAMAR SNUBBED
2014年:麦克莫胜了,肯德里克·拉马尔却没有得奖

Macklemore and Ryan Lewis swept the whole awards show, winning for best rap song ("Thrift Shop"), best rap performance ("Thrift Shop") and best rap album (The Heist). Many felt that Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City should have won best rap album. Macklemore eventually acknowledged that Lamar "was robbed"… and even posted an Instagram photo of the apologetic text message he sent to Lamar. "He deserved best rap album," he commented on the post.
麦可莫&莱恩·路易斯在整个颁奖典礼上所向披靡,赢得最佳说唱歌曲奖(歌曲《旧货店》Thrift Shop)、最佳说唱乐表演奖(歌曲《旧货店》Thrift Shop)和最佳说唱专辑奖 (《The Heist》)。很多人都觉得肯德里克·拉马尔的《好孩子,疯疯狂城市》(Good Kid, m.A.A.d. City)应该获得最佳说唱专辑奖。麦克莫最后承认说拉马尔(的奖项)“被劫了”……他甚至还在Ins上发了一张他发给拉马尔的道歉短信的图片。他在这条状态上说道:“最佳说唱专辑奖是他应得的。”

2011年:嘎嘎小姐从鸡蛋里孵出来了

For her unforgettable performance of "Born This Way", Gaga was all about the theatrics … and committed to a very grand entrance in which she emerged from a giant egg, wearing a yolk-colored latex bra and yellow skirt. Unexpected? Yes. Epic? Also yes.
对于歌曲《生来如此》那令人难以忘怀的演出,嘎嘎可谓是全力表演……她还身穿一身蛋黄色乳胶背心和黄色短裙从一只巨型鸡蛋中惊艳亮相。出乎意料?是的。史诗般巨作?同样也是肯定的回答。

1990: MILLI VANILLI LOST THEIR GRAMMY FOR LIP SYNCING SOMEONE ELSE'S SONGS
1990年: 米力瓦利合唱团因假唱他人歌曲痛失格莱美

This wasn't the best look. In early 1988, German producer and songwriter Frank Farian recorded an album with vocalists whom he eventually wasn't pleased with. So he recruited Robert Pilatus and Fabrice Morvan – Milli Vanilli – to front the group when the album was released, without clearly stating that Morvan and Pilatus didn't sing the songs on the album. At an MTV performance in 1990, they were performing "Girl You Know It's True" when the backing track skipped, playing "girl you know it's true" over and over … revealing that they weren't singing. After much scrutiny and Farian admitting the pair didn't sing Milli Vanilli songs, they were stripped of their Grammy.
说出来并不好听。在1988年早期,德国制作人兼词作者弗朗克·菲林与一个他最终也不是很喜欢的歌手录制了一张专辑。所以在专辑发行的时候他聘请了罗伯特皮拉图斯山和法布里斯·莫尔万(米力瓦利合唱团)充当演唱组合,但没有声明两人未在此专辑中演唱这些曲目。1990年在一音乐电视演出中,他们演唱歌曲《亲爱的,你知道这是真的》(Girl You Know It's True)时,伴奏部分被剪,重复播放着“亲爱的你知道这是真的”……就发现了他们并没真唱。经过严格调查,菲林也承认这两位歌手并没有演唱米力瓦利合唱团的歌曲,然后他们就被格莱美除名了。

2001: EMINEM AND ELTON JOHN PERFORMED TOGETHER
2001年: 艾米纳姆和艾尔顿·约翰一同演出

In response to countless accusations of homophobia, Eminem performed "Stan" alongside Elton John at the 43rd Grammy Awards. "If I didn't make a statement with Elton John tonight, I don't know what else to do," he told MTV after the performance.
为回应外界对自己恐同症的控诉,艾米纳姆同艾尔顿·约翰一起在第43届格莱美颁奖典礼上表演。演出后艾米纳姆告诉音乐电视网记者说:“如果今晚我不和艾尔顿表露心声,我不知道要做什么其他的。”

2008: HERBIE HANCOCK BEAT OUT KANYE WEST AND AMY WINEHOUSE
2008年:赫比·汉考克击败坎耶·维斯特和艾米·怀恩豪斯

While everyone saw the competition for best album as exclusively between Kanye West's Graduation and Amy Winehouse's iconic Back to Black, jazz legend Herbie Hancock ended up winning for his full-length tribute to Joni Mitchell.
当所有人都认为最佳专辑奖是坎耶·维斯特的《毕业典礼》(Graduation)和艾米·怀恩豪斯标志性专辑《回归黑暗》( Back to Black)之间的斗争时,爵士传奇赫比·汉考克以他对琼尼·米歇尔的致敬之作成为最终赢家。

1998: BACK-UP DANCER 'SOY BOMBED' BOB DYLAN
1998年:助演舞者“大豆炸弹鲍勃·迪伦”

Dylan won big at the 40th Grammy Awards: he scored rock album of the year, best contemporary folk album and best male rock vocal performance. Yet the year is remembered for something else – while performing "Love Sick," one of Dylan's back-up performers took off his shirt to reveal the words "SOY BOMB" and hit center stage next to the musician. Why did he do it? No one will ever know for sure.
在第40届格莱美颁奖典礼上,迪伦可谓说是大赢家:他赢得了年度最佳摇滚专辑、当代最佳民谣专辑和最佳年度摇滚男歌手奖。而这一年之所以被人永远记忆是有其他缘由的——当在表演歌曲《恋爱恐慌症》时,一位迪伦的助演舞者脱掉上衣,露出“大豆炸弹”几个大字,还站在舞台中央的迪伦旁边。他为什么这么做呢?没有人知道确切原因。
