The 51st Annual Grammy Awards were filled with big surprises. The show began with a surprise appearance by Whitney Houston. Houston introduced the first award for Best R&B Album, which was awarded to Jennifer Hudson for her self-entitled debut. Later Hudson performed the ballad, " You Pulled Me Through".

　　第51届格莱美音乐奖颁奖典礼充满惊喜。典礼以惠特尼·休斯顿的意外闪亮登场拉开序幕。休斯顿随后颁发了第一个大奖——最佳R&B专辑奖，该奖项由詹妮弗·哈德森凭借其同名专辑夺得。随后哈德森演唱了其民谣作品《你带我渡过难关》。

　　There were plenty of other surprise performances and collaborations throughout the night. Justin Timberlake performed "Let's Stay Together" with Al Green. Jay-Z performed an otherwise underwhelming verse on the remix to "Lost" with Chris Martin of Coldplay. And Estelle and Kanye West, performed "American Boy", which also won them the Grammy for Best Rap/Sung collaboration。

　　典礼整晚带来了很多其他惊喜的表演以及出色的合作演出。贾斯汀·汀布莱克与艾尔·格林合作演唱了《让我们在一起》，Jay-z与“酷玩”主唱克里斯·马汀联袂另类演绎了重新混音的热门单曲《迷失》。埃斯泰尔和坎耶·维斯特携手献上为他们赢得最佳说唱歌曲合作奖的曲目《美国男孩》。

　　But the most anticipated performance of the night wasn't a surprise at all. Kanye West, Jay-Z and T.I. performed their Grammy Award winning song, "Swagga Like Us". T.I. hit the stage for a second time and performed "Dead & Gone" with Justin Timberlake. Lil Wayne's own performance was also one of the night's most emotional. Instead of performing one of his hits such as "Lollipop" or "Got Money", Wayne went with the poignant album cut, "Tie My Hands" featuring Robin Thicke。

　　但是当晚最值得期待的表演却没有带来多少惊喜：坎耶·维斯特、Jay-z和T.I。联手献唱的获奖歌曲《像我们一样摇摆》；T.I。二次上台与贾斯汀·汀布莱克合唱《已经死去》；李尔·韦恩没有演唱其热门歌曲《棒棒糖》或《有钱》，而是与罗宾·西克联手献上伤感专辑中的《绑住我手》。

　　The Grammy's were nothing short of spectacular with memorable performances by some of today's top artists. After a night of heavy competition, the bar will definitely be raised for next year。

　　众多当今乐坛巨星使本届格莱美颁奖礼充满让人印象深刻的精彩表演。相信经过一晚的激烈竞争，明年的“门槛儿”绝对将被提高更多。
