The stars may be looking back on 2016, but 2006 will forever be iconic.
Specifically the 2006 Grammys. That year’s ceremony is hard to forget considering its electric start—for the opening performance, Madonna took to the stage with Gorillaz and De La Soul, performing a high-energy mashup of “Feel Good Inc.” and “Hung Up.”
The host-less ceremony was chock-full of memorable moments, including Mariah Carey’s spellbinding performance of “We Belong Together.” The “Songbird Supreme” was feeling all the emotions after taking home three golden gramophones, including one for Best Contemporary R&B Album.
However, it’s hard to believe anybody had a better night than U2. The Irish rock band—whose members include Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr.—won all five categories they were nominated for, including Album of the Year for How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb. The group certainly blew audiences away with an explosive performance of their hit song “Vertigo.”
With celebrities like Paula Abdul, Fergie and Kanye West, the ceremony was packed with peak mid-aughts fashion.
