And that's it for awards tonight! But it wouldn't be the GRAMMYs if we didn't have a massive closing performance to look forward to. Stay tuned.

Here's what I'm anticipating: multi-genre mayhem. There's still plenty of reason to be on the edge of your seat! While you're perched on the edge, though, you know what to do: send over your thoughts/impressions/reactions.

We talk about her special dress. "I wanted to try something new and I think it totally worked," Carrie Underwood tells me. I agree. #GRAMMYs

Will Underwood ever venture out in pop? "My place is in the country world," she tells me. "I love country music. It's where my heart is."

by Arjan Writes 2/11/2013 4:22:51 AM
Getting the stage ready for the big finale featuring host LL Cool J!!

by Kimberly Hines 2/11/2013 4:23:01 AM
Thinking back: Frank Ocean's stripey sweatband was a good touch.

Bold of him to wear a mustard-colored suit, too. Guy marches to the beat of his own drummer. Really well. Here we go!

by Tammy La Gorce 2/11/2013 4:24:21 AM
Carrie Underwood looks gorgeous backstage. So happy with her win. So humble and approachable. Lovely to chat with her for a bit.

by Arjan Writes 2/11/2013 4:24:36 AM
Did you know? This is the first televised performance of LL Cool J's "Whaddup,” a track from his forthcoming new album Authentic Hip Hop.

It's an awesome genre-mash: Our dapper host is on vocals with the legendary Chuck D, Tom Morello is on soon-to-be raging guitar, and the heavily tatted Blink-182's Travis Barker is on drums. And check out the DJ: the scorching hot Z-Trip! Whaddup!

by Tammy La Gorce 2/11/2013 4:25:00 AM
RT @RyanSeacrest: With wiz. @wizkhalifa http://instagr.am/p/Vk7lQflWRU/

by Recording Academy via twitter 2/11/2013 4:25:16 AM
"Whaddup" is off LL's soon-to-be-released album "Authentic Hip-Hop." Does it get more authentic than Chuck D banging out a rap? Nope. No posers here.

by Tammy La Gorce 2/11/2013 4:25:20 AM
LL's still got it.

by Tammy La Gorce 2/11/2013 4:25:36 AM
Dope to see hip hop veterans LL Cool J and Chuck D closing out the 55th GRAMMYs. Hotness.

by Kimberly Hines 2/11/2013 4:26:08 AM
This is a rager, is whaddup. Quickie fact: Morello is the newest member of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band, filling in for Steven Van Zandt, who's on hiatus.

Who's enjoying this the most? Impossible to say. They're all loving it. But so are we -- these guys are letting it rip. It's yet another impossible-to-forget GRAMMY moment. One among many tonight for the history books.

Juanes tells me he wants to dedicate his GRAMMY ("Best Latin Pop Album") to his country of Colombia.

by Arjan Writes 2/11/2013 4:41:52 AM
Juanes tells me he was excited to perform an Elton John song. "I'm a big fan," he says. "It was a little hard to sing in English."
