[N] _ We're having an incredible night.
That was so much fun.
I was back there, I was like, I was part of it.
Welcome to the 61st Annual Grammy Awards.
_ _ _ _ Do you feel that love in the building?
This is love.
This is life.
This is living.
This is light.
And all because of music.
Music is so powerful.
So I want everybody, you see we're going to have an incredible time tonight.
This is just the beginning.
So I want everybody in here who might be feeling a little nervous, might be feeling a little, you know, a lot of energy.
Just let your shoulders drop.
Just know that I got you.
I'm going to take care of you tonight.
I got you tonight.
Yes, I do.
The audience is so sparkly and gorgeous.
I'm loving it.
First of all, my sister Tracy is right here.
We honoring her mama Diana tonight.
That's going to be so amazing.

There's love in the building.
So it is about that time.
It is so exciting to be here because music is what we all love.
Music is what it's all about.
You know, everybody is out here shining.
And I'm so proud to bring us together to honor this this moment because music is what we cry to.
It's what we march to.
It's what we rock to.
It's what we make love to. _ _ _
_ It's our shared global language.
And when you really want to say something, you say it with a song.
Am I right or am I right?
_ _ _ So _ let's just be honest.
This is a celebration.
And you don't think I was coming out here by myself, did you?

_ _ _ _ Wow. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ Tell them what it is, Gaga.
_ _ _ _ They said I was weird.
_ That my look, my choices, my sound, that it wouldn't work.
_ But music _ told me not to listen to them. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Music took my ears, took my hands, my voice and my soul.
And it led me to all of you and to my little monsters who I love so much. _ _ _
_ _ _ Back in the Bronx, _ _ _ music gave me a reason to dance from hip hop to freestyle, pop, soul and salsa.
And it kept me moving from the block to the big stages and even bigger screens.
It reminds me where I come from, but it also reminds me of all the places that I can go.
Music has always been the one place we can all feel truly free.
_ We _ _ _ _ _ _ express our pain, power and progress through music, whether we're creating it or just appreciating it.
But here's what I know.
Every voice we hear deserves to be honored and respected.
Amen.
_ Amen. _
_ From the Motown Records_
_ _ _ From _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
the _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Motown Records I wore out on the South Side to the Who Run The World songs that fueled me through this last decade.
Music has always helped me tell my story, and I know that's true for everybody here.
Whether we like country or rap or rock, music helps us share ourselves, our dignity and sorrows, our hopes and joys.
It allows us to hear one another, to invite each other in.
Music shows us that all of it matters.
Every story within every voice, every note within every song.
Is that right, ladies?
Yes, ladies!
_ _ _ What is better than this?
There's nothing better than this.
Tonight we celebrate the greatness in each other, all of us, through music! _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm taking it in, excuse me.
_ _ Who runs the world? _
_ _ Thank you so much, ladies, for your light, your message, your love, your sisterhood.
I love y'all so much.
We love you.
Give it up for these magnificent goddesses! _ _ _ _
