Learning the Blues
A duet with the dead is an odd way to open the night, but this is the Grammys 50th anniversary, and—theme alert—this awards show is chock full of music history! Ol' Blue Eyes under sings with typical aplomb (as Prince says, "Frank Sinatra looks good for 150 years old"), while Keys over sings in a vain attempt to compete. Still, it's hard to judge her too harshly given that she's doing the bulk of the work on the harmonies.
