Billie Eilish trionfa ai Grammy Awards 2020: vince in ben cinque categorie
Billie Eilish ha trionfato ai Grammy Awards 2020. La 18enne cantautrice statunitense ha vinto in ben cinque categorie, le più importanti. Quali? Miglior artista esordiente, miglior album dell’anno (When We Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?), miglior canzone dell’anno e miglior registrazione dell’anno (Bad Guy). ‘When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?’ ha vinto anche nella categoria minore di Best Pop Vocal Album.
“Non vi farò perdere tempo, davvero – ha detto semplicemente dopo essere stata premiata per il miglior album dell’anno -. Grazie per questo”. La giovane artista è cresciuta registrando canzoni con il fratello Finneas O’Connell, co-autore e produttore della sua musica, in una camera da letto della casa dei genitori a Los Angeles.
Durante la cerimonia dei Grammy Awards 2020 si è reso omaggio al celebre divo del basket mondiale Kobe Bryant morto in un incidente in elicottero personale, che è precipitato ieri sulle colline vicino a Los Angeles in condizioni di meteo non ottimali a causa della nebbia. Il leggendario campione dell’NBA è deceduto insieme con la figlia Gianna Maria-Onore e altre sette persone a bordo del velivolo.
“Questa notte è per Kobe” – ha detto Lizzo dando il via alla cerimonia ufficiale mentre un minuto di silenzio è stato osservato durante l’assegnazione dei premi minori e non trasmessa in tivù. Commossa anche Alicia Keys, la presentatrice dei Grammy, che ha improvvisato la canzone ‘It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday’ di Boyz II Men. “Ti vogliamo bene Kobe”, ha detto poi.
