Kendrick Lamar -The Blacker The Berry
I’m not even a rap fan, but my favorite performance of the night was Kendrick Lamar’s “The Blacker The Berry.” He swept the Rap categories and deservedly so.

Adele – All I Ask
Poor Adele encountered sound problems at the beginning of her performance, but vocally she was in fine form as usual. Her rendition of “All I Ask,” written with Bruno Mars, was even more emotional than usual.

The Cast Of Hamilton
If you haven’t heard about the hottest and game changing musical on Broadway, Hamilton, you have now. Lin-Manuel Miranda (In the Heights) created this music based on the life of founding father Alexander Hamilton. But here’s the deal: The music is hip-hop and other than England’s King George, it’s cast entirely of people of color. Drop by our Tonys live blog and with Hamilton literally win all the awards. In this clip, Lin-Manuel is Alexander Hamilton singing about what brought him to New York City.
