Greater Than Us

It was a night of emotions, talent, and excitement at the 54th Grammy Awards.  Singers of all genres came out in their best fashions to be share in the night of performances and award presentations.  This year, the spot light was directed towards pop singer Adele.  Her recent vocal mishap left her cancelling tour dates and muting her breathtaking talent.  However, the 54^th Grammy’s were here and presented her time to shine (and boy she did!).  After undergoing throat surgery last fall, her fans had missed Adele’s appearances and angelic voice.  But last night when she took the stage, Adele left everyone in the audience on their feet.  The reaction from the audience was definitely the other lasting impression aside from the performance itself.  The energy and substantial reaction the audience gave by rising to their feet surely left Adele awestruck and more appreciative than ever.  This surely was a remarkable event.  Adele hit every note perfectly as though the surgery was just a dream.  This goes to show what kind of heart and determination this new artist holds.  Adele faced the odds and pushed towards excellence.  She did not want to let her fans down and not once did she give up. 

This is just one of many examples as to why it is a life goal of mine to one day attend the Grammy Awards.  I do not have to be in attendance as an artist or anyone special, I just want to be able to be a part of such a night that cannot be put into words.  As LL Cool J said himself in the beginning of the night, “this night is about something greater than us, it's about music.” 

And I for one truly believe that.
