Michelle Obama made a surprise appearance on Sunday on the Grammys' stage to deliver a message on women's empowerment alongside superstar Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, of L & D. host Alicia Keys and actress Jada Pinkett-Smith.
"Music shows us that it all counts – every story in every voice, every note in every song," said the former first lady, air glam in a glittering trouser suit with a slinky jacket in the 1970s.

The organization of the awards gala, confronted at a awards gala, faced a gulf of criticism for not joining his ranks, after almost mutating nominees at the show last year.
This year, five of the eight nominees for the year's album are women: rapper Cardi B, folk-rock singer Brandi Carlile, pop futurist Janelle Monae, prodigy of R & D group B HER and country star, Kacey Musgraves.
At the beginning of the segment, Lady Gaga – triple winner of the night – said: "They told me that I was strange … and the music told me not to. listen to them. "
Lopez – who turned his musical career into an actor – said that music" allowed me to move from block to big scenes and even bigger screens. "
Pinkett -Smith added, "Every voice we hear deserves to be honored and respected."
And Obama adds, "Whether we love country, rap or rock, music helps us share our dignity and our sorrows , our hopes and our joys It allows us to hear each other, to invite "
Obama quickly started following the trends on Twitter.
The time has come to start a show featuring female talent in the music industry, a year after women were largely rejected in the major categories. [19659003] Neil Portnow, head of the Recording Academy, told the women last year to "get involved" if they wanted to do better in the Grammy Awards night.
The insolent comment aroused outrage and Portnow said he would leave his post at the end of his contract this summer.
On Sunday, the message was clear – a message of diversity.
"Thank you very much, ladies, for your light, your message of love, your solidarity," said Keys, the first woman to direct the show in 14 years.
"Give it up for these beautiful goddesses ! "Keys.
