This year, we didn’t really have a horse in the Grammy race (David Guetta’s co-writing credit on “I’ve Got A Feelings” not withstanding). But Diplo had his own particularly skewed take, releasing a Major Lazer cover of Beyoncé’s “Halo” with Elephant Man on vocals, just as the pop starlet won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
