Worst Surprise: Pink's incredible trapeze work is absolutely stunning, but it's hard not to feel a little letdown about the act since she's done it before, including on previous Grammys. Still, it was, and is, pretty amazing.
Best Mashup: Adding Stevie Wonder to Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" was just the right thing. Of course, adding Stevie Wonder to anything—songs, sandwiches, whatever—is always the right thing to do.
