Kanye West performed a medley of “All Day/Black Skinhead.” However those at home could not see or hear it clearly. Most of his performance was filled with smoke and sparks making it difficult for the cameras to truly capture what was happening. The medley also contained explicit language causing the network to silence many parts.
Winning Top Radio Song was John Legend for “All of Me,” and if you’ve heard that song I think you’d agree! “All of Me” was written for Legend’s supermodel wife Chrissy Teigen who hosted this year’s award show with Ludacris.
Beating out Into the Woods and The Fault in Our Stars, Frozen took home an award for Top Soundtrack.
