The World

Beyonce took home six Grammys on Sunday, more than any woman on a single night of the 52-year-old awards show. Last night’s telecast attempted to attract viewers with performances by Lady Gaga and the late Michael Jackson (accompanied by the living Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, and others). Did the performances wow the world or fall flat? And were there any surprises with the awards themselves?

Caryn Ganz, deputy editor of Rolling Stone magazine, gives us her take.
