This is the thing that got me on the stage, got me to tour all
around the world, support nie family and all that.
Most porntdly, it showed me a true definition of what being an
artist was, you know.
From the jump I thought it was about the accolades and cars and
clothes but it is really about expressing yourself and putting
that paint on the canvas for the world to evolve, for the next
listener, the next generation after, that you know what I'm
saying?
(Applause) hip-hop has done that for me.
I got a lot of guys in this building right now that i-- to
this day Jay-Z, nas puff, these guys show me the day, from close
and from afar.
So with that being said, this shows me the hip-hop real tough,
that's love, baby.
Jay for president.

celebrating not just the grammy awarded but also 60 years of
great grammy moments and our next performer gave us one of
the most unfore gettable performances of all time when
she sang glitter in the air while sus peppedded from the

Tonight she wows us once aga tonight, she wows us once again

We are also daughters, wives, mothers, sisters, and human

words: #timesup.
We say timesup for pay inequality, discrimination or
harassment of any kind, and the abuse of power.
It's not just going on in Hollywood, or in Washington,
it's right here in our industry as well.
And just as we have the just as we have the power to
shape culture, we also have the power to undo the culture that
does not serve us well.
So, let's work together, women and men, as a united music
industry committed to creating more safe work environments,
equal pay, and access for all women.
And as we do, as artists, our next performer embodies the
great tradition of delivering important social messages
through their music.

>> Tonight, in this room full of music's dreamers, we remember
that this country was built by dreamers, for dreamers, chasing
the American dream.
I'm here on this stage tonight because just like the dreamers
my parents brought me to this country with nothing in their
pockets but hope.
They showed me what it means to work twice as hard and never
give up, and honestly, no part of my journey is any different
from theirs.
I'm a proud Cuban-Mexican immigrant, born in eastern
Havana, standing in front of you on the grammy stage in New York
city, and all I know is, just like dreams, these kids can't be
forgotten and are worth fighting for.
Tonight, it is my great honor to introduce one of the greatest
bands in music history, U2.
This band from Ireland first rocked the grammy boat when they
won their first four awards 30 years ago for “the Joshua tree,”
an album that explored their own powerful connection with the
American dream.
46 grammy nominations and 22 awards later, they extend
their stunning grammy legacy tonight by celebrating in new
York city and the promise that has drawn generations of
immigrants here from around the world.
Here they are performing in front of a beautiful lady who
inspired these timeless words by Emma Lazarus.

>> Corden: now, some people don't know this, but you don't
always need to be a musician to win a grammy.
In fact, every year, the recording academy has honored
the best spoken word album.
And over the years, the award has gone to some of the world's
most inspiring voices.
Bill Clinton has won a grammy.
Barack Obama has won a grammy.
Hillary Clinton, Jimmy Carter, and al Gore all have grammys.
Mars,. we know that our current president does love winning
awards and the good news for him is he may just be the subject of
next year's winner.
The question I've got is, who will be the narrator. [Bleep]
Fire and furry spoken word auditions take one.
>> Trump won't read anything.
He gets up halfway through meetings with world leaders
because he is bored.
>> Cut!
Sorry.
It's-- it just feels a bit too smooth.
I don't think it's going to work.
Next.
>> His combover, semicolon, the color was a product called just
for men.
The longer it was left on, the dark ter got.
Impatience resulted in trump's orange blond hair color.
>> Cut.
>> Trump did not enjoy his own inauguration.
He started to get angry and hurt that stars were determined to
embarrass him.
I definitely wasn't there.
>> Cut.
>> Carti b.
>> If trump was having his dinner with Steve bannon, he was
if bed by that time with a cheese burger.
>> Why am I even reading this [Bleep] I can't believe this.
I can't believe that he really-- this this is how he
lives his life.
>> The housekeeper staff for pick up his shirt from the
floor.
If my shirt is on the floor, it's because I want it on the
floor.
Another one, it's-- matter, it's the best spoken word album in
the game.

>> Oh yeah.
>> The grammy is in the bag.
>> In the bag.
>> That mite have been the biggest cheer of the night.
>> Corden: and now, please welcome to the stage, the star
of “into the woods,” available now on DVD, blu-ray and digital
download, Anna Kendrick.
>> The recording academy does not have the power to knight
people... yet.
Instead, it offers its own high honor, an all-star grammy
salute.
To help celebrate the 50th anniversary of this kind sir,
who is one of the most beloved legends in music history, many
of today's most exciting artists will salute this grammy and
Oscar-winning legend by singing many of the classic songs he has
written decade after decade with his brilliant lyrical partner,
Bernie taupin.
And coming this spring, right here on CBS, we can all come
join in for "Elton John: I'm still standing-- a grammy
salute."
But first, tonight, as a life- long fan and a slightly "tiny
dancer," I am honored to introduce a performance by the
man himself.
Ladies and gentlemen, sir Elton John.

The beginning was so good, the middle was good.
It's all been great.
>> Corden: what's that?
Did you go to "hamilton" tonight?
>> We did, James.
It's just that tickets are so hard to get, and we were offered
two for tonight!

We'll talk about this later.
Now, we can't celebrate music in New York without honoring the
legacy of Broadway.
Tonight, we present a tribute to not one, but two, towering
figures of musical theater.
First up, we salute Leonard Bernstein, who would have turned
the late, great composer was a 16-time grammy winner who wrote

( Laughter ) how do you top the milestone of
a 60th anniversary?
Well, you celebrate it in new York city!
( Applause ) it was a big night for me 15
years ago, right here on this stage, as I began my first year
as President of the recording academy.
Since then, we are so pleased and proud of what we have
contributed to the legendary legacy of excellence which
remains the hallmark of our organization.
So, what do 60 years of excellence look like?
We have awarded more than 9,600 grammys, music's highest
accolade, and we are the most- watched music event in the
world.
Our musicares charity has provided nearly $58 million in
aid and served more than 125,000 people in our music community.
( Applause ) and this includes saving lives
with addiction recovery and sober living help.
We're in Texas, Florida, puerto rico, and now California,
helping music people recover from devastating hurricanes and
fires.
And as a nation, we must help all of our brothers and sisters
until they are back on their feet.
( Applause ) the academy's work on capitol
hill improves the lives of music creators, and thousands
participate in all 50 states in the largest grassroots movement
in music history.
The time is right, and we are working closely with congress to
pass comprehensive music licensing reform, which began
with a grammy-timed congressional hearing where I
had the privilege to testify right here in New York just two
days ago.
( Applause ) our extraordinary grammy museum
has welcomed more than five million visitors to our
locations in Los Angeles, Mississippi, Nashville, and new
Jersey, and traveling exhibits in 29 cities and eight
countries.
And we've provided over $10 million for our music
education programs and opportunities for students.
And our future looks even more promising.
The recently launched grammy music education coalition is
dedicated to building universal music participation in schools
nationwide.
So just imagine every student in America having access to music
programs; with your help and support, we can make that dream
a reality.
( Applause ) and look for more great grammy
specials, like our "salute to Elton John" this spring on CBS,
and our "grammy salute to music legends" on pbs this fall.
It's the work we do year-round that supports the amazing
artists you've seen on our stage tonight and over the past 60
years who create the soundtrack to our lives.
Our music community stands strong and committed to
providing hope and inspiration in difficult and divisive times.
You can count on our music to soothe our souls or issue a
clarion call to action, as our voices will remain an
indelible part of our culture and future.
And now, as we honor and remember those we lost in
our music community this past year, there is no more
appropriate way to begin than with this beautiful song by one
of rock's most beloved artists, ( Applause )
There is no more appropriate way to begin than by this
beautiful song by one of our most beloved are artist Tom
petty performed by Chris stapleton and one of the
recording academies new lifetime achievement honorees, Emmy Lou
Harris.

I'm in front ever a curtain and I'm singing songs.
My job in that show was to entertain about a thousand
people, a thousand tourists from all over the world.
And I put together a set list like 10 to 12 songs and I will
be honest, I was in incredible at 15.
I was-- and later on in life i found out that those songs that
I was singing were written by either baby face, Jimmy jam
Terry Lewis or Teddy Riley.
And with those songs I remember seeing t I remember seeing it
first hand people dancing that had never met each other from
two siesd of the globe, dancing with each other, toasting with
each other, celebrating together.
All I wanted to do with this album was that.
And you know, those sings were written with nothing but joy and
for one reason and for one reason only, and that's love.
That Saul I wanted to bring with this album and hopefully I could
feel that again and see everybody dancing and everybody
moving.
So (applause)
I would like to dedicate this award to them, they are my
heroes.
They are my teachers, they laid the foundation.
This album wouldn't exist if it wasn't for these guys that have
written these songs.
You know, I had to sprinkle a little Mars sauce on it.
And this is for them, I love you guys, thank you so much, I don't
know, it's incredible.
Thank you, guy, thank you, grammys.
>> Ken, I love you, Neil, thank you for inviting me to the
grammys.
I will see y'all soon.
Thank you guys.
>> That's our show ladies and jerks thanks to all the artists,
thank you to New York City, we'll see you next time, good
night and god bless!
