66th GRAMMY Awards opening performance pentatonix

[@JJ-kl5yj]

That's a great opening. I love how they showcased awesome artists, nominated from so many different genres, coming together live to bring the house down.

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

I agree. It was fun, varied and they all seemed like they had fun, enjoying watching each others perform.

[@billhart9832]

I love that Larkin Poe are fianlly getting their due! Self produced with no major lable support makes their fierce independence all the more impressive! Their musical power and genuine "Blood Harmony" are evident in all their performances, whether original or their stripped down covers. Their future's so bright... Gotta wear shades!😎

[@bossfan49]

And 90% of the people there STILL haven't heard their music because they got stuck sharing a stage to do a cover.

[@jackcrane7853]

As long as they dont waste their talent with crap like WHATS LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT, when they can do so much better than this mediocrity..

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

That opening number was great! Pentatonix is always gonna bring it and it was so much fun seeing so many genuine musicians on stage looking like they were having so much fun and hyping each other up. That rocked!

[@WenDizzy06]

Being from Minneapolis where Prince is from I loved this!!! So cool seeing PTX singing a Prince song💜💜💜

[@ivorymoonwolf4721]

I will never understand why every time PTX performs live there is always a full band playing behind them. They are an acapella group. They ARE the instruments.

[@brandiblair9398]

Every time I have seen them on award shows it has been part of an ensemble performance with non-accapella groups. I think they were just thrilled to perform with artists like Shiela E, which means 1 on 1 and practice time and the exposure.

[@dannyboy3238]

…. And always autotuned 😂😂😂

[@iiiisssssaaaaaacccccc]

@@dannyboy3238nope. They never use auto tune unless the song they are covering use it. Overall they have never use autogenerate doing studio recording and live recording/performance. If you disagree then that your opinion that you think that they’re using auto tune or some shit.

[@fosixsix225]

This time I can understand it. They aren’t performing by themselves. If it was just PTX then I agree they wouldn’t need a band.

[@ShyFly1000]

So proud of them for getting this spot. Super deserved.

[@neetgupta1]

Amazing opening, PTX brought it as always but am absolutely gutted that they didnt win their 4th Grammy.

[@cellokimmy]

Christmas albums never win the pop album category. I hate that’s where they keep getting nominated. They’ve had some phenomenal arrangements lately that have been overlooked.

[@neetgupta1]

So true! ​@@cellokimmy

[@Caitlin1928]

​@@cellokimmy Christmas albums should be in their own holiday category, imo.

[@robertpress2661]

Larkin poe rocked it as usual

[@atreb56]

Agreed! So happy for them.🤘🎸

[@TheBella2u]

Didn’t recognize the sisters from Larkin Poe, they’re so good, glad to see them ❤

[@atreb56]

They rocked the roof off the place!🤘🎵

[@saliartim7039]

Scott can make a great rock singer, he is getting better and better❤❤❤

[@saliartim7039]

I wish Pentatonix was given more time, but they were great ❤❤❤ I am so sad they didn't win this year😢

[@vidsorama2]

Thank you for posting this video of this awesome collab performance. They all sounded and looked great. I'm so proud of all of them. I was happy that Pentatonix was included.

[@lifesabitch8012]

I LOVE that they opened up with a PRINCE SONG!! And Sheila E looked FANTASTIC!🥁💯☝️🎶👋🎤💜💜💜🎸🎸🫶🎉

[@timwalsh715]

Now THIS is some kind of SPECIAL!

[@tammyree6200]

Wow! What a great group of performers to be a part of!! 🩷

[@tracyj2886]

Sheila E kicked absolute ass!!!!!🎉🎉🎉❤❤ Great number!

[@Bonofox1]

🌟PENTATONIX 🌟

[@MWLUCKY]

Rebecca’s solo was totally wild!

[@yamilethlopez9898]

The best opening ever! Many great artists at the same time!❤❤

[@mmg8823]

Nice format! Matt and Kirstin didn't even flinch when the high hat was tipped over towards them. I wonder how many times they rehearsed that. 😄

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Hhaa I know right!

[@suewilliams6830]

Thanks for putting it up Sarah, it was great! I wasn't sure what time the show started over here (UK) and I missed the start.

[@lottieloves4431]

Thanks for uploading!

[@sarahmcvay3445]

Listen to that Rebel yell! Larkin Poe is so good.

[@atreb56]

Rocked the house. So proud of them.❤

[@bethphillips9693]

That was great! Thanks for sharing!!

[@supertrooper73]

OMG Sheila E. put them tears in my eyes. So emotional.

[@genakay]

Well that was fantastic

[@fmcm7715]

Matt is really living his best life performing at the Grammys with his former idols😀

[@thechomiji]

Thank you for putting this up! You know, I've been wondering about next award season. This year's highlighted holiday album songs - Please Santa Please, Kiss from a Rose, Pure Imagination/Christmastime Is Here, and O Holy Night - are as strong a set as they've ever put out, IMO. But they're tied to that huge block of re-released material. It's a little awkward and a little sad, in terms of award nominations.

[@richardperrotti191]

Larkin Poe rocks

[@atreb56]

Agreed! Ladies are the real deal.🎸

[@tampazeke4587]

Spectacular!

[@juliemichaud8990]

Sheila!!! Best drummer. Evah!!!! Caliente, mucho!!!

[@drea1976]

Larkin Poe are awesome! Do yourselves a favor and look up their cover of In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. Mind blowing! PTX awesome, as always! They put on a great concert! Jordan sounds absolutely amazing!! ❤

[@seboss12]

Will do! I didn't know many people in this performance--I just recorded it for my ptx fan group--I didn't expect so many views! I will for sure check them out :)

[@DutchVai]

Venom & Faith is a fantastic album.

[@cadebrenchley]

If you haven’t had the pleasure of discovering Larkin Poe, don’t wait. Amazing talent!

[@wildrosecece]

So glad to see Larkin Poe. Been following them since their uploads in 2020. Almost got to see them in Boston, but cancelled due to Covid. 😢

[@atreb56]

Larkin Poe: The real deal!🤘💿

[@kittmarie8285]

Thank you so much!

[@gretchenoppriecht3726]

The joy of his music and the pain of his too soon departure…

[@Dr.KiraWorld]

Very nice 👍ยอดเยี่ยมมากค่ะ🙏🙂🥳🎉🎈💐👏🎉🥳🙏

[@kurtsiecolferites2160]

PTX killed the game as usual!

[@dariyakhokhel2382]

For me PTX held this all together into a comprehensive whole, which is no mean deal )

[@kimberlyt4361]

I could just imagine Prince looking on... in a style only he could. True purple 💜 fans know what I'm speaking of.

[@shanabrown1653]

Great to see Jordan Sparks and Sheila E! 😊

[@atreb56]

Larkin Poe rocked it🎸

[@Dilydaydream1]

I love thst its 2024 and Prince and Sheila E are grammy worthy

[@erswnn]

Sure didn't see that one coming! Prince, Penta, Poe?? And then they toss in E??? wow!!!

[@bossfan49]

Percussion!

[@Mikal-y2f]

Jordan Sparks sounds amazing

[@andrest-jean6878]

Larkin Poe, the Lovell sisters ! Great !

[@atreb56]

Ladies are the real deal!

[@ruthgarner2070]

PTX great opening

[@reneeelias9514]

So very Cool!

[@MargaretHill-um6ej]

Sheila E!!!!

[@juliemichaud8990]

Man, best!!! Intro!!!

[@seriousbutfunny2]

SHE-LA! E. Baby. Crushed it.

[@jessierobinette8790]

How fun!!!

[@MichaelSink]

I feel like whoever was in charge of the mix should be working on their resume...

[@ebok33643]

💜

[@littlejoe9381]

Prince would have been offended at being called “Almighty “.

[@kiyeadaka3602]

My thoughts exactly

[@germanrosas-ibarguen1739]

Prince is new Generation..

[@bossfan49]

Larkin Poe....kick ass musicians who have over a half dozen albums of ORIGINAL material, nominated for (and WINNING) a Grammy.... are relegated to sharing a stage to perform a cover song.

[@JenniferKumps]

Larkin Poe 🤘🤘

[@atreb56]

So proud of them. Rocked the house.🤘🎼

[@darkhclme]

PTX FOR LIFEEEE

[@jaskoanna7774]

❤🌹❤️

[@durangomcmurphy1529]

That's nice .

[@christymcdaniel3906]

It's like sing 2 all over again

[@sandwitch4300]

PTX are 5 Star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@kendrabryant4738]

This was very similar to what Kelly Clarkson did with PTX & Sheila E. a few years ago at the billboard awards I believe. It was good but it is a very similar concept other than they had a few more artists & a different song this time.

[@Pimp-Master]

I just go to Larkin Poe on KZbin for the Lo-Fi folky songs. She's also the loudest singer in music, but the idea that they are the blues or something? That's truly evil...

[@karenstewart190]

😮

[@michaelairheart6921]

And you would think that someone saying rhymes at the Grammy would not be someone better suited for a Ebonics commercial.

[@elizabethhostetter1946]

Was that actually Kevin? i miss his hair!

[@bossfan49]

Terrible audio mix. House band drowning everybody out.

[@daraluz75012]

My dream is to see Gabriel Henrique singing on this stage. #gabrielhenrique

[@HereticReborn]

Sheila E. still got it.

[@Quinkermarine]

Larkin Poe.....

[@atreb56]

Agreed.🔥🤘

[@drummerdave1740]

...and THAT my friends is why the Grammys are the only awards show worth watching!

[@FionaGlennanne]

Meh. I was expecting a full PTX performance. No disrespect to the other artists, just not what I was looking forward to. Oh well.

[@Erin_Coke]

Same. It was hard to hear PTX, too. What I could hear sounded amazing, but they got drowned out by the music.

[@saliartim7039]

Same. I was expecting a full performance. But something is better than nothing

[@saliartim7039]

​@@Erin_Cokeexactly 👍

[@annmc3878]

Is there any footage of them on the red carpet? I watch some of the red carpet but didn’t see them. Maybe because they were the first performers they didn’t.

[@donnabaker377]

What an insult too Prince sounds horrible

[@exoticone42]

Am I the only one who didn’t really enjoy this performance 🙈 it felt a bit chaotic and rushed.

[@computerboy2k]

No Revolution?

[@shaftrighton7390]

SHEILA E 😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@MissSailorMars2010]

Why didnt they show it on tv?

[@seboss12]

This was the pre show it was live streamed on KZbin

[@supposedly1-2]

thank you! This was however pretty awful. NOT PTX but it sounded off key like the music and those girls singing were in different keys for a while there. i never enjoy it when these shows put a band behind ptx so they should have let them do their own song or something as this did not show any of the groups in a good light. the end sounds ok when people aren't doing too much singing.

[@VeganaAnarkiisto]

"Can't blow the skins up? Let's trash the crash, I'm too badass!" C'mon is that still cool in 2024?

[@StephenLewisful]

Yes!

[@coolcatz4159]

1:43 😬 clash…

[@Halfhoff]

Is that Kevin or Matt with the sunglasses? It's dark and hard to tell

[@hernameispekka_Rebecca]

Very clearly Kevin. Matt is next to Jordin Sparks and almost gets the cymbal on him

[@dzxn3728]

O(+>

[@richhahn2443]

Whoever dressed Larkin Poe should be fired.

[@tinawilstrup955]

Shame they didn't get to show how amazingly talented they are. This was way too noisy.

[@Krycius]

Who allowed them to do this to a Prince song? WTF?

[@amazingcars1324]

Taylor Swift won best pop vocal album.

[@bossfan49]

Should've gone to Olvia Rodrigo.

[@rebeccadavis7219]

huh

[@saintninansplace]

That sucked.

[@christinamcqueen8803]

Yeah it’s a no sounds like a hot mess

[@maryanderson5443]

Cheated again. PTX should have won.

[@surewhynot6040]

This is crap

[@SuperBajafresh]

Gospel?

[@deloresmatt8643]

Just to you and your no taste buddies.

[@coach_suhr_moose]

Not a fan of this opening number. Jordin S was the best part.

[@erixxxblue2698]

Meh

[@rammi909]

sorry but this was horrible. Prince would be appalled

[@Oklahoma-Dreaming]

Yawn.

[@Thomas-g5u1m]

I'm 66 : WHO?!
