Wins for Lady Gaga!! Esperanza Spalding, Arcade Fire Who?

AP-The 2011 Grammys kicked off with a long, long (too long) tribute to Aretha Franklin, compliments of Jennifer Hudson, Martina McBride, Christina Aguilera (who didn't flub, but did fall), Florence Welch (of Florence + the Machine), and Yolanda Adams. (Total Waste of airtime, Aretha looks better than ever, and Jennifer Hudson could have done the medley herself)!

Next:
The group awarded the prize for Best Pop Duo to Train for "Hey, Soul Sister (Live)." The group then thanked Justin Bieber for "not being a duo or a group."

Lady Gaga emerged from her egg (sporting pointy, prosthetic-type shoulders) to perform "Born This Way."

More performances, by Miranda Lambert and Muse.

Oh, and then ... wait for it ... another performance, by BoB, Bruno Mars, and Janelle Monae. (A Black Le Roux)

Winner, Female Country Vocal: Miranda Lambert wins first Grammy of her career for "The House That Built Me."

Another performance, by Justin Bieber (OMG!), teenier teenybopper Jaden Smith, and Usher.
