The Kanye West tour took over the 50th Grammy Award telecast with a medley of "Stronger" into "Hey Mama." Daft Punk appeared in their trademark pyramid, where they pretended to hit buttons and actually do something other than let the Ableton do its job. Kanye also gave another one of his obnoxious speaches and acting like a pompous asshole to everyone.
The show itself was horrible (congrats on making Rihanna look fat) and was full of horrible long performance.
The worst moments came in giving a Lifetime Achievement Award to The Band and then going into a two-song Cirque De Sole / Accross The Universe medley to honor The Beatles for absolutely no reason. A total insult to The Band.
Then you had the half-hour gospel medley starring Aretha Fatlin that was just painful to watch.
