Justin Timberlake Steals Show At The Grammys 2013!
Justin Timberlakemade his return to the Grammy Awards stage last night (February 10), binging a 15-piece band and a full orchestra to perform his comeback single Jay-Z out of the audience for the rapper's verse.
Whether in black and white or colour, JT brought down the house and also gave fans a glimpse of what to expect from his third solo LP Taylor Swiftalso put on an impressive display surrounded by aerialists, ballerinas, fire dancers and a stage full of circus performers as she acted as the ringleader to open the ceremony in grand style, by mixing a surreal circus with a bit of Damian Marley's tribute to reggae icon Bob Marley, which left everyone from Carrie Underwoodmay have had that cool CGI dress, but Frank Ocean really burned out optic nerves with a trippy performance that made it look like he was running to stand still.
Wearing his signature headband, Frank stood behind a waist-high keyboard surrounded by a white screen for a meditative Maroon 5 and Ed Sheeran performed on the night, with RiRi also delivering a moving rendition of her current single, Stay.
