Grammys 2015: Kayne West, Rihanna, Paul McCartney's 'FourFiveSeconds' Performance Brings Audience To Its Feet

Tuesday, February 10, 2015

After a series of jaw-dropping multi-generational match-ups during Grammy night 2015, it took an acoustic performance from Paul McCartney, Rihanna and Kanye West to bring the audience to their feet.

The trio debuted for the first time, a live and surprisingly pared-down performance of their surprise smash hit "FourFiveSeconds." The three, clad in various black outfits, took the stage with little accompaniment and sang a passionate performance of the popular tune, which recently debuted on the Billboard charts at No. 54.

While McCartney strummed a guitar confidently in the background and provided supporting vocals, the song was clearly a vehicle for Rihanna, who delivered an inspiring and moving performance.

West also performed well, changing the lyrics to the song ever so slightly in deference to the music legend.

The Grammy-winning rapper tweaked the words of the line after "if he ever goes to jail" that "Paul! Promise you'll pay my bail!" The Beatles superstar nodded happily in agreement.

Much has been made of this unique collaboration of West and McCartney. West has produced Rihanna's upcoming album and on the red carpet, the singer revealed to Ryan Seacrest that Rihanna heard this song and wanted it on her album.

I'm not sure if my last comment went thru or not before I registered. But I was speaking that Kanye West is nothing more than a sham. He doesn't respect the audience he doesn't respect himself he doesn't respect his family. He's a rude inconsiderate as the tries to manipulate things for his own achievements. He makes rude comments does rude gestures as nothing more than an un- satisfactory rapper. He needs to change his ways and try to find himself to be a better person. He has a child he needs to think of instead of just himself. He's nothing more than just a sham and not much of any talent.
