Skylar Grey shares that Eminem planted a big kiss on her after their Grammy performance!
Back in 2011,Ā Eminem, Rihanna, Dr. Dre, Skylar Grey and Adam Levine performed āLove The Way You Lie (Part 2)ā and āI Need A Doctorā at the 53rd annual Grammy awards.
āThe most surreal moment in my life as a performer,ā she said āI dreamed about being on that stage since childhood. After we got off stage, Em gave me a big kiss on the cheek and seemed very pleased with the performance. However, I locked myself in my dressing room and cried because I thought I did not sing good! Will forever be hard on myself but I guess that is what keeps me reachingā¦ā
Itās not the first time the singer recalls the surreal moment of her career. In theĀ Genius annotation, Skylar Grey wrote: āThe most amazing thing for me with this was getting to perform at the Grammys with Dr. Dre and Eminem (āI Need A Doctorā) when Rihanna opened up our medley with āLove The Way You Lie.ā That was a really special moment in my life.ā
āI Need A Doctorā is a cinematic song detailing the relationship between Eminem and Dr. Dre. The song is produced by Alex da Kid and was supposed to be included in mystical Dre album, DETOX. In the song, Em raps about Dre being stuck creatively, unable to make music the way he used to due to his grief and depression. Em, who went through this himself after his best friend died in 2006, is making a passionate attempt to get through to him so Dre will start believing in his own abilities again.
That night at the Grammys, Eminem had most nominations than any artist and won Best Rap Solo Performance for āNot Afraid,ā beating āOverā by Drake, āHow Lowā by Ludacris, āIām Backā by T.I. and āPowerā by Kanye West and Best Rap Album forĀ Recovery, besting The Adventures Of Bobby Ray by B.o.B., āThank Me Laterā by Drake, āThe Blueprint 3ā by Jay-Z and āHow I Got Overā by The Roots.
