The brief euphoric feeling that Chris Brown might fall and break his face. Make no mistake: It was a terrible idea for the show to invite this guy back, especially for multiple performances, three years after he spent the night before the show beating the living hell out of Rihanna. Grammys exec producer Ken Ehrlich made things way, way worse in an interview by saying that the Grammys "were kind of the victim of what happened." Brown spent his first performance dancing frenetically on a staircase-mountain thing covered in laser-light projections, and it seemed for a minute like there might be some karmic retribution involving a disfiguring fall. But no, he stuck every landing, alas.
