The prestigious 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards were held on Sunday, 12th February, 2012. The Staples Centre in Los Angeles was glittered with outstanding musical talent encompassing all genres. The awards had the profound task of honouring music icon Whitney Houston just hours after her tragic passing, and succeeded under the heartbreaking circumstances. It has been reported that the very last song Whitney Houston sang was; "Yes, Jesus Loves Me."
Congratulations to the strong contenders that were nominated, and of course all the winners.
