Every performance at the 2023 Grammy Awards, ranked from worst to best
From Bad Bunny's big opening to Stevie Wonder's Motown medley to that massive hip-hop tribute, here's how the performances stacked up at the 65th Grammy Awards
Music Features Grammy
Sometime in recent memory, the Grammys decided they’d rather have their annual telecast be a musical revue than an awards ceremony. Sure, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Science still hands out plenty of trophies but they’re often doled out offstage, usually in the hours before the curtain lifts on the show itself. Host Trevor Noah gave the game away in the first moments of the program when he mentioned the performers before the awards themselves: those live performances are the reasons why viewers tune into the 65th Annual Grammy Awards.
The awards did make some news. Beyonce now is the all-time Grammy winner with 32 trophies, a record she achieved without taking home the coveted Album of the Year award, which unexpectedly went to Harry Styles. Viola Davis became an EGOT when the audiobook of her memoir Finding Me earned her the Grammy for Best Audio Book, Narration, and Storytelling. But these headlines were drowned out by the performances given at Crypto.com Arena, performances that illustrated that the Grammys still have the ability to stage memorable moments. Here’s our ranking of every performance from music’s big night from worst to best.

Gross.

Takeoff is the late Migos rapper. Offset is still alive. I don’t even know why I still check this website jesus christ
I assure you that Offset is very much alive
I didn’t watch DJ Khaled in this, but everything I have seen is basically just him wandering around saying “Uh, Uh, DJ Khaled” like his own hype man, while everyone else on stage actually performs.
you forgot that sometimes he informs people that they have played themselvesand refuses to go down on his wife
and another one !
I think you just summed up his entire career.Someone remind me why is he is still a thing??
I thought the end of the 50 years of hip hop performance, with them all sitting around a table with enough food for 300 people and basically saying “look how rich we are now, motherfuckers!” was gross as hell.
Those were different black people in a different performance. Also pretty sure that wasn’t the point. it was a bunch of bread and fruit for chrissake
Are you talking about the God Did performance? If so the whole point was to show what they have now compared to where they came from. The feast is a celebration.
Sorry, yeah that’s the one I meant. I understand what they were going for, and felt they overshot the mark by a mile.
eh, whaddya gonna do?
…and Harry Styles as Mr. Sparkleupagus!
The Harry Styles performance was a real stinker. The choreography on that spinning thing was really nothing, also…they could have used it to do ballroom or something, not just barely touch each other twice and stand there. Steve Lacy was very pitchy, it looks like people were having trouble with their monitors so they were having to guess at pitches a few times but he was one of the few people who really just seemed to be off pitch. Kinda sucks that Kodak Black was up there onstage, he’s a bad person.I was overall impressed with the backing bands and harmonies that they worked out especially for the show. Higher Ground was awesome, but several of the songs performed throughout the night repeat their choruses like 10 times and for the purposes of a live broadcast I thought 7 would do.
Other than an appearance by Dwayne Johnson, were there no rock performances?
Bad Habit is an awful fucking song
The Offspring’s Bad Habit is pretty awesome.
It bears repeating: The lists on this website fucking suck and it has made this website fucking suck.
The Show could have used a Samara Joy performance.
A Domi and JD Drake performance would have been great as well.
We get 8 minutes of crap with DJ Khalid but Luke Combs had a solid performance that had no special flash that the Bad Bunny or Sam Smith had.
If I only knew which arena the Grammys were at yesterday…
Pets.com I think?
Presumably as a result of these shenanigans, last night’s Grammys telecast had fewer performances than usual. 샌즈카지노 The show still ended at close to midnight East Coast time, but we spent more of that time watching the kooky grandma who loves Harry Styles and less watching people sing songs. So it’s easy to miss a crucial factor in last night’s show: All the performances were pretty good!
Appreciated De La, but Tribe needed to be part of this.
Mary J Blige giving Lady Dimitrescu vibes there, in the very best way.
“conjuring enough theatrics to entertain but falling just short of making trouble.”- the performance that’s literally been called a sign of the downfall of civilization.
