LOS ANGELES _ The queens of the 2017 Grammys provided two of the telecast's most memorable performances Sunday, one a celestial dream of near perfection, the other endearingly human.
Anyone wondering whether Beyonce's pregnancy would take away from her ability to perform as vividly as we've come to expect got an answer when she delivered a stunning rendition of her songs "Love Drought" and "Sandcastles."
Adele, meanwhile, came out strong, opening the show with a confident performance of "Hello," which went on to win song of the year. But during her tribute to the late singer George Michael, she flubbed and had to start again. She went on to nail the song, but when the performance was over, she put her hands over her face and shook her head.
Both the resplendent Queen Bey and the chagrined Adele were met by cheering crowds and the requisite Twitter storm of devotion.
