33 Pasangan Menikah Di Grammy Awards 2014

Dalam ajang Grammy ke 56 yang di adakan hari Minggu malam lalu, banyak kejutan-kejutan terjadi.

Kejutan datang tak hanya dari pemenang-pemenang dan penampilan dari para musisi saja, karena tahun ini ada sebuah kejutan yang benar-benar tak di sangka semua orang, yaitu pernikahan 33 pasangan secara massal di panggung Grammy Award !

Yups, peristiwa langka ini menjadi sejarah tersendiri di penyelenggaraan Grammy, sebanyak 33 pasangan, beberapa diantaranya gay dan Lesbian, menikah di tengah acara musik Grammy Awards dalam upacara yang dipimpin penyanyi Queen Latifah. Beberapa pasangan yang berpartisipasi dalam upacara pernikahan yang berlangsung saat Macklemore & Ryan Lewis tampil di panggung menyanyikan lagu 'Same Love', salah satu hits mereka yang notabene memang membahas tentang persamaan derajat dan kesetaraan gender, dll. 

Pernikahan massal itu dipimpin oleh penyanyi Queen Latifah, dan Madonna yang berpakaian jas putih dengan topi koboi dan tongkat sewarna, tampil menyanyikan lagu 'Open Your Heart' bersama Mary Lambert.

Queen Latifah, Host, Rapper dan aktris itu, disumpah dulu sebagai komisioner oleh negara bagian California untuk dapat mengesahkan upacara tersebut.

'Menikah di depan 100 juta orang adalah momen yang besar, Saya tak sabar ingin menandatangani semua sertifikat pernikahan.' Ujar wanita bertubuh seksi itu.

Neil Portnow, presiden dan CEO Grammy The Recording Academy, mengatakan ia bangga dengan upacara tersebut

'Elegan, dahsyat dan memiliki arti yang dalam seperti yang kami inginkan. Begitu banyak ide datang dari komunitas kreatif, dari artis-artis kami, Orang-orang ini menulis sebuah lagu yang hebat. Mereka memiliki ide tentang masyarakat dan toleransi dan keadilan dan itu adalah pesannya.'

Portnow mengatakan mereka menyewa layanan untuk mencari pasangan-pasangan yang mau dinikahkan selama lagu hip-hop ditampilkan dan disiarkan televisi di hadapan puluhan juta orang.  Namun salah satu pencapaian terbesar adalah menjaga kerahasiaan pernikahan itu sehingga tak di ketahui siapapun kecuali tim khusus Grammy.

Yang lebih unik, salah satu dari 33 pasangan itu adalah adik dari Ryan Lewis sendiri yang bernama Laura, yang menikah dengan kekasihnya, Alex.

'Malam ini akan menjadi malam yang dahsyat bagi saya dan bagi musik, Bagi saya dan keluarga, menyaksikan pernikahan adik saya kali ini sungguh luar biasa,' ujar Ryan.

10 Penyanyi Dengan Kostum Terunik

Selebritis dan Kostum, adalah dua hal yang pasti tak dapat di pisahkan, para public figure sangat membutuhkan kostum untuk menunjang penampilan mereka.

Apalagi untuk tampil di panggung, terutama penyanyi, membutuhkan banyak model kostum yang biasanya akan membangun iamge tersendiri bagi pemakainya. Tak sedikit para penyanyi yang tampil dengan kostum yang unik, bahkan terkesan aneh, hanya untuk membuat sensasi semata, atau ingin menciptakan trendsetter tersendiri.

Sebut saja Lady GaGa, yang memang akhirnya terkenal dengan ciri khas pakaian unik bin nyeleneh nya, ada lagi Nicki Minaj, yang dulu terkenal dengan gaya aneh ala Harajuku versinya sendiri, Nicki melakukan itu agar orang lebih mudah mengingatnya, kini setelah namanya cukup terkenal, sedikit demi sedikit, Nicki mulai meninggalkan kostum aneh seperti dulu di awal karirnya. Dari dalam negeri, kita punya Melly Goeslaw yang udah lebih dulu dari dua penyanyi di atas, dalam urusan ber-kostum unik.

Dan di daftar kali ini, kita lihat 10 Kostum Penyanyi Ter-Unik :

Lady GaGa
GaGa memulai kariernya dengan berpenampilan sensasional, mulai dari pakain dari daging, Highheels tinggi yang ekstrim, dll. 

Melly Goeslaw
Jauh sebelum Lady GaGa hadir dengan sensasi kostumnya, Indonesia telah memiliki Melly Goeslaw yang juga tak kalah sensasional bila tampil di panggung, Melly suka tampil dengan kostum yang cenderung tak lazim di pakai, namun hal ini justru menjadi nilai plus bagi penyanyi yang juga pencipta lagu ini.

Bjork

Penyanyi asla Islandia ini juga sudah cukup lama hadir di industri musik dengan musik dan kostumnya yang unik. Bjork juga tak kalah hebat dalam ber-eksperimen dari segi kostum panggungnya.

Cee-Lo Green
Juri The Voice Amerika bertubuh besar ini sering tampil dengan kostum spekta yang cenderung lebih terlihat seperti pakaian untuk pawai, Cee-Lo memang sengaja tampil seperti itu untuk menutupi tubuh besarnya.

Macklemore
Rapper kulit putih yang namanya melejit setahun terakhir lewat hits 'Thrift Shop' dan 'Cant Hold Us' ini sering tampil di panggung dengan kostum yang cukup unik, contohnya saat ia hadir di ajang MTV Movie Awards belum lama ini, Macklemore mendapat sorotan media dengan memakai kostum bak mayoret di Marching Band.

Katy Perry
Katy juga selalu memilih kostum yang unik dan lucu untuk penampilannya di panggung, biasanya Katy banyak memiliki kostum yang lucu, baju seksi dengan ornamen buah-buahan, boneka, dan berwarna-warni.

Nicki Minaj
Mulai dari gaya Harajuku Style, Robotic, sampai berdandan ala Barbie, beberapa kostum favorit Rapper Nicki Minaj beberapa tahun lalu, namun kini, Nicki ingin sedikit merubah gayanya jadi lebih Girly dan Feminin, apalagi semenjak berstatus juri American Idol, Nicki berpakaian jauh lebih baik dan manusiawi. lol

Empire Of The Sun
Duo Empire of the Sun yang mengusung genre musik Electro ini juga selalu tampil di nyentrik di setiap aksinya, Gaya unik Luke Steele dan Nick Littlemore ini ternyata cukup membantu untuk mendapatkan perhatian orang terhadap musik mereka.

Fergie
Anggota wanita satu-satunya di The Black Eyed Peas ini juga memiliki kostum-kostum yang spekta untuk aksi panggung, bersama anggota BEP lainnya, Fergie sering memilih kostum yang sesuai dengan jenis musik mereka.

MIA
Penyanyi nyentrik bernama asli Mathangi "Maya" Arulpragasam ini juga sering kena kritik karena kostum anehnya di panggung, MIA juga suka ber-eksperimen dengan kostum-kostum aneh saat tampil di atas panggung.
