On Sunday night, Adele emerged as the Bell of the Ball at the 59th Annual Grammy Awards sweeping the top three categories: Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Song of the Year. She also won 2 other awards for: Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Vocal Performance. A total of 5 Grammys!

The English queen of pop was still humble aknowledging Beyoncé as her inspiration. She literally implied Beyonce was better even though we all know she (Adele) is great in her own right and that she deserves all the awards she won. She wents as far as breaking her grammy in half to share her big win with Beyoncé.

This is the second time Adele, 28, is taking most of the awards home.

Beyoncé:

Everyone was surprise to see very pregnant Beyonce perfom at the Grammys. As usual she had to do something spectacular still. Her performance was quite different from the ones we have seen in the past. It was mesmerizing! She looked very lovely donned as a 'goddess-like queen' with her mom and daughter featured in the holograms.

Although the 35-year-old did not win all 9 awards she was nominated for, she took home 2 awards: Best Music Video - Formation and Best Urban Contemporary Album - Lemonade.

Also, Adele made the night all about the queen Bey. Below is Beyoncé acceptance speech:

"It’s important to me to show images to my children that reflect their beauty so they can grow up in a world where they look in the mirror first at their own families as well as the news, the Super Bowl, the Olympics, the White House, and the Grammys, and see themselves and have no doubt that they’re beautiful and intelligent and capable. This is something I want for every child of every race, and I feel it’s vital that we learn from the past and recognize our tendencies to repeat our mistakes. Thank you again for honoring Lemonade. Have a beautiful evening. Thank you for tonight, this is incredible."

Chance the Rapper:

23-year-old Chance the Rapper who is not signed to any Record Label, made history last night winning 3 gammys: Best New Artist, Best Rap Album and Best Rap Performance. Making him the first artist to win a Grammy for a streaming-only album.

Before this year's Grammys nominations were announced, the rules were changed in order to allow artists who were unsigned or released streaming-only albums to be qualified. Many saw the move from The Recording Academy, which gives out the Grammy Awards, as an endorsement of Chance specifically and his acclaimed album "Coloring Book."

The Chicago born artist, ultimately thanked God for his success.
