The winners of the Annual Grammy Awards 2016 have been announced and as usual there were some outstanding performances.
Without a doubt the opening act by Taylor Swift did not disappoint, but the performances of the night go to Lady Gaga for her David Bowie Tribute and Demi Lovato for her chilling emotional rendition of Lionel Richie's 'Hello'.
You can watch these performance later at 7pm tonight on Channel O. If you wouldn't like to wait that long, watch the performances now, but be warned it is not the best quality.
