- (FBE) So Tori, did you watch the Grammys this year?
- (gasps) I did! - No, I feel like I watched it
on Twitter. - (FBE) I've been seeing a lot
of comments requesting that we cover this,
so in honor of the biggest night of the year for music,
I'm gonna take you down the old town road of the--
- Okay. (chuckles) - (FBE) I know.
Of the top 10 moments from this year's Grammy awards.
- Okay, that's dope. - (FBE) So, we put together
this list using multiple articles online,
but I do wanna point out that obviously we don't have time
to include all of the amazing moments from this year, but we tried.
- You can just watch the Grammys. If you wanna see everything,
go watch the Grammys. - (FBE) So, we wanted to start
this list off the same way that they started the show off this year,
which was on a really emotional note. - Oh, okay. Yeah.
- (Alicia) Here we are together on music's biggest night...
- This was at the Staples Center, wasn't it? (sucks in breath)
- (Alicia) But to be honest with you,
we're all feeling crazy sadness right now.
Earlier today... - I'm tearing up.
- (Alicia) Los Angeles, America... - No!
- (Alicia) ...and the whole wide world lost a hero.
- I literally just got chills right now a second time.
- (Alicia) ...heartbroken in the house
that Kobe Bryant built.
- And especially that they were at the Staples Center.
That was his space. That's where he played all those years.
And he's such a big icon in LA and to a lot of these music artists
and a lot of people watching that it was just nice
to have that moment. - I have no idea how she sang,
how she talked, and how she pulled through
without breaking into tears. - (FBE) So obviously, the world
was struck by this unimaginable tragedy.
- Yeah. - (FBE) And the Grammys addressed it
in multiple ways throughout the night. - (FBE) Lizzo also paid tribute
right before this to start off her opening performance.
And then right after this, Boyz II Men joined Alicia Keys
on stage for an acapella rendition of "It's So Hard to Say Goodbye
to Yesterday." - Oh, I get goosebumps.
It's still so unbelievable. - Anyone who's anyone,
whether you like sports or not, basketball or anything,
you know who Kobe Bryant is, and you know the impact
he's made on the world. - (announcer) Lizzo.
- (man) Lizzo! - Oh! My god!
Ah, she makes me so happy! - Yes, this was so deserved.
- "What the [bleep]?!"
Like, "Me?!" - (Lizzo) This whole week,
you know, I be lost in my problems, stressed out.
And then in an instant, all of that can go away
and your priorities really shift. And today, all of my little problems
that I thought were... - You can even tell how hurt she is.
- (Lizzo) I realize that there's people hurting right now and...
- She just said it perfectly. You know, no matter what's going on,
you just think about other people and how they're hurting.
- (Lizzo) You guys create beautiful music.
You guys create connectivity. This is the beginning of making music
that moves people again... - Yeah. Yes, Lizzo! Preach!
- (Lizzo) ...that liberates people. Let's continue to reach out,
hold each other down and... - Oh, it's so good.
- (Lizzo) God bless you. Thank you so much.
- Oh my gosh. I knew I loved Lizzo.
- She deserves all the success in the world.
This woman has been hustling for years.
- (FBE) So, that was Lizzo's acceptance speech
after winning best solo pop performance.
Multiple outlets like Entertainment Weekly
have called this out as a top moment,
and the speech has gone viral on social media.
- I'm proud of her. She's such an amazing human being.
- (FBE) So next up, obviously, we can't talk
about the Grammys without showing you some of the top performances
of the night, but we do wanna note that when our viewers
see this, we will have to mute the audio for these performances.
However, we've linked all of the original links down below.
- Yeah, you can just watch the links yourself.
But in the meantime, you could listen to us
talking about it. - Copyright. Can't do that. Sorry.
- Ooh. He got a can on fire? Let's go!
- Boyz II Men opens it up, and you realize
it's with Tyler the Creator. - Tyler the Creator
is a frickin' artist to the point where I don't know
how his brain works. - This whole performance,
I was just like, "What?!" - I mean, this is just Tyler
doing his character. This is how he performs.
- I like how he still commits to this whole Igor character,
you know? And this part too was pretty dope, I thought,
you know, that he was able to get a bunch of different Igors
just [bleep] going crazy. - They don't even need sound
for this one. They can just watch it.
- Well, if that doesn't say 2020 for you, I don't know what does.
- It's literally lit. Everything's fire.
His whole album was fire, literally burned down the Grammys.
- Is he gonna fall? Homie! (claps) Ah!
- That [bleep] was crazy. Whether you [bleep] with his music
or not, you can't deny his artistry. - He is everyone's junior high
meme lord self. - (FBE) That performance caught
the attention of a lot of outlets that included it
as a top moment of the night such as Billboard, Rolling Stone,
and Time Magazine. - Yeah. He did great.
He deserves that. - (FBE) Tyler's acceptance speech
also made a few lists, so let's take a look at that.
- Hell yeah. - (announcer) LA, stand up.
"Igor," Tyler the Creator! - Yes! (claps)
- (Tyler) That's my mom if y'all wondering. (chuckles)
- So cute! - So beautiful, man.
She looks so proud of 'him. - (Tyler) All right.
I gotta say my speech, dawg. - (laughs) Like, "Yo, Mom,
pull it together." - He's like, "Get outta here, Mom."
- Aww, she's so proud of him. - Aww, his mama's so happy.
- (Tyler) Hello. One, to my mother.
You did a great job raising this guy.
- Aww, look at her! - That was just very nice.
It's a lot of respect. We all have to respect our parents
or whoever raised us, you know? 'Cause we're nothing without them.
- (FBE) So, this next moment was actually voted on
and chosen by our very own FBE SuperFam.
- Ooh! - You guys always pick
the best ones, so I'm super excited for this.
- (FBE) So, the SuperFam voted for us to cover Demi Lovato's
first performance in two years...
- Damn. - (FBE) ...of her song "Anyone,"
which she actually recorded just four days before her overdose
in 2018. - Oh my gosh.
This was a really heavy Grammys. - How beautiful.
- Ah, I might cry. - Aww, you could tell
it's really emotional. - If this is her first performance
in two years, this is-- it's not easy to get up
on stage like that. - Yeah, I mean, that takes
a lot of guts to show yourself in front of the whole world like that
after everything you've been through. - I'ma start crying if I see her cry.
- Ah, what a great pianist! All she had to do was look back
and he stopped. I honestly got chills when that happened.
- I love it when artists really feel what they're singing.
She's literally tear rolling down her cheek at the Grammys.
- This is also just so incredibly brave of her
to just do a comeback performance at the Grammys.
And she got ridiculed so unfairly by people for something
that she can't control. She has addiction problems.
- Just seeing the growth and everything she's been through.
- It puts you in their shoes, where you never know
how anyone else is feeling and what led them to do
what they do. - It's crazy that the song
is her asking for help and that she wrote it
days before her overdose. - And she made it through
the whole song. She was so emotional
and probably nervous the entire time.
- Addiction's one of the hardest things to beat
and to go through and I can't imagine being
in the public eye when that happens. - These, you know, famous people
who have millions of fans that love and care for them,
but then even that-- I feel like if you don't have
the right people there, you feel like you have nothing.
- (announcer) Billie Eilish. - (audience cheers)
- Ah, I've seen this one! She just didn't wanna win a Grammy.
- (announcer) "Bad Guy" by Billie. - I can't! Wow!
She's beating out a lot of the people that have been
in the industry either longer than her or that she looked up to.
- (Billie) Shhh. Please sit down. - I mean, she deserves
all her success. - (Billie) Can I just say
that I think Ariana deserves this? - Ariana got snubbed!
That's all I gotta say! - (Billie) God, this is so crazy.
Why?! - (laughs) "Why?!"
- (announcer) "Bad Guy," Billie Eilish.
- She's like, "Are you [bleep] kidding me? Again?"
- Dude! How many did she take? - Wow.
Her and Finneas look almost tired
but you know that they're jumpy inside. (chuckles)
- I love how genuinely she didn't wanna win 'em all.
- She's also like, "Please don't be mean to me for winning
all of this," which sucks, 'cause she's so young
and that's such an amazing achievement!
- (FBE) So, Billie Eilish took home five Grammys, 10 if you include
the ones that her brother Finneas also took home.
And at only 18, she's only the second artist
to ever sweep the top categories. - That's crazy.
- (FBE) So, Billboard called out all of her wins as a top moment
of the night. - Oh, for sure. For sure.
The top moment of the night. - Yeah, I'd say!
No wonder why she wants Ariana to win. She's like, "Can someone else win?"
- (FBE) All right, next up is a performance by Camila Cabello
that they teased as being for a special man in her life.
- Oh. I didn't see this.
- Oh, I can't! Dad [bleep] makes me cry SO much! (chuckles)
- Ah! When you listen to these lyrics and finally realize
she's talking about her dad, you know, the video of her
as a kid in the back. - Oh, her dad's the special man!
Aww. - Okay, I'm crying,
but whenever somebody sings about their dad, I lose my [bleep],
'cause I'm not close with my dad. - This one made me cry. Oh, man.
I have a very awful relationship with my dad, so I watching this
and I'm like, "Oh my god." It's nice to see that
that's how people, you know, see their parents.
- He's crying! I can't! When dads cry, I can't do it.
- Damn, the daddy issues in me is like... (laughs)
- He looks like he's really digging it.
- Beautiful moment, but also-- it also felt like it went on forever.
It just felt kind of weird. - Oh, it was beautiful.
I think that was my favorite moment of the whole Grammys.
- Bringing it all back to, you know, the first real love she kind of had.
I thought it was a perfect way to let the song into the world.
- Meek Mill. - So, one, John Legend
is a very talented man. His voice is incredible.
He's got the voice of a million angels.
- This was so cool, though, the Nipsey Hussle tribute.
- For me, this is like-- I'm watching it and it's just
like life telling me to just do the things that
you're trying to do. - This part was really cool.
And then didn't they illuminate his two jerseys as well in the back?
So cool. I got emotional when I saw this too.
- Icons in LA, dude. It's only right that they did [bleep],
you know? Look at all of them paying their--
That's an amazing photo right there. - They're so young
and had so much life to live. And to be cut down so short,
it's a tragedy. - God. Those were two losses
that the public and LA especially took really hard in the community,
which is the center of entertainment. - It was just nice to see a bunch
of different artists come and represent during this tribute.
- (FBE) So, that was a tribute performance
for Nipsey Hussle featuring YG, John Legend, Kirk Franklin,
DJ Khaled, Meek Mill, and Roddy Ricch.
And it even included a video clip of Nipsey himself.
They also included Kobe Bryant in the final image that you see here
of the performance. - Two kings.
- You know, you just really think about life.
Don't take things for granted. - (FBE) All right. Now, we are going
to switch directions a little bit and show you a particular
red carpet moment that everyone seems to be talking about.
- I'm trying to think which one it could be.
- Yes! - Who is this dude?
- Oh my god, Billy Porter! (laughs) - I need a hat like this!
Turn off all the haters! (laughs) - Yes! Ah, that's how you wanna
roll up to an award show. Mark my words, the next episode,
I will just be like, "Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Welcome to FBE." - This is what I wanna see
you bring to the red carpet. - Literally an icon!
I wish I could do that, just "We're closed today."
- (FBE) Well, hold your horses, because here comes the final moment
on our list, which was featured on lists like Billboard
and Rolling Stone. - Okay.
- Oh my god! Talking about iconic. This performance! (laughs)
- Lil Nas X is such an incredible artist.
He is so fun, but he's also self-aware.
His stuff is meant to goofy. - BTS. Obviously.
Everyone was waiting for this 45 seconds
that they were on stage. My whole Twitter feed
was just BTS. - Oh, got Billy Ray in there!
Biggest collab of all time! - Billy Ray?
My achy breaky heart. - Go off, achy break heart!
- Oh! They got Mason Ramsey! Let's go! A true cowboy!
- This is the internet. That's stan culture.
- For sure, for sure. That was crazy.
Dude, that was so lit. I mean, obviously, you know,
for all the people that love BTS and all the people that love Lil Nas
and "Old Town Road," that's obviously gonna be
an iconic moment. - That song still slaps, though.
That's one of those songs where you're like, "I'm sick of it.
I've heard it for forever" and then years go by,
it's like, "[Bleep] crank that." You're gonna be like, "Oh, [bleep].
'Old Town Road' goes off." - (FBE) So, we hope you enjoyed
this Lizzdo the top Grammy moments. - (squeals and claps) Yes!
- This "Lizzdo." (chuckles) I don't know if it completely works,
but I like it. - (FBE) Thank you.
I wasn't sure if anyone would even get it.
But before we go, were there any other moments
that you maybe saw on Twitter or anything that you think
deserved a spot on this list that we did not have a chance
to talk about today? - (laughs) Lana Del Rey
buying her dress at the mall. What an icon.
- Ariana Grande's performance should be in this list.
- Jonas Brothers and Queen Lizzo. Her flute? Are you kidding me?
And then, hello? The Jonas Brothers? Are you kidding me?
- I'd like to thank the Recording Academy and you
for watching this episode. - Shoutout to David Flynn.
- What was your top Grammy moment? Let us know in the comments.
- Thanks for watching. Bye! - Hey, guys. It's Sierra,
