One of the most anticipated performances during tonight’s Grammys was the live debut of Paul McCartney, Kanye West and Rihanna’s “FourFiveSeconds.” Even though it received a standing ovation from the crowd, it was hard not to notice some technical difficulties throughout the event. Apparently, Paul's mic may have not been on and his fans were pretty disappointed on Twitter:

Paul McCartney just became a prop and Kanye took lead vocals. There are no words. #GRAMMMYs

If we know Kanye by now, his stage performances have to be flawless. Just last night at Big Sean’s House of Blues show in LA, he called the sound engineer “unprofessional” for having Sean’s mic turned down too low. So you can probably expect he’s got something to say about this. Watch the performance again below.
