Beyoncé

Minutes after winning Best Song of the Year for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" (yes, you first heard it in 2008, but the Grammys follow their own calendar), Beyoncé takes the stage to sing a medley of "If I Were a Boy," off her I Am ... Sasha Fierce record, and — wait, is that ... no ... it can't be — Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." Beyoncé's vocals are as strong as ever, but on the heels of Green Day's performance, I suddenly feel like I'm back in 1996.
