Grammys 2015: Pharrell, Hans Zimmer team for dramatic ‘Happy’
If we’re being totally honest, the introduction did not work perfectly. The idea of “Happy” with this sort of minor key was strange, especially when you had Pharrell speaking out the lyrics of the song very slowly. It was almost a reminder that ultimately, some of the lyrics of this song are a little bit cheesy, even if we decide to accept them for the most part, anyway.
Regardless of our take on the earlier part of this performance, things really started to get going once Pharrell made the entire stage into his domain, and created a heck of an awesome party out of the place. The second half of this was close to sublime, and further proof of why we are so happy that he has come back of sorts the past few years after spending a while under the radar. Also, a shout-out to the piano solo! You definitely don’t see that often.
