Last night (February 22nd), the 87th Academy Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, and aside from the award speeches, Rita Ora, Jennifer Hudson, Maroon 5, Tim McGraw, Common and John Legend were among the night's performers.

Aside from Hudson, who performed during the telecast's In Memoriam segment, the other performers sung the Best Original Song nominees as Ora took on "Ungrateful" from 'Behind the Lights', Adam Levine and crew performed "Lost Stars" from 'Begin Again', McGraw gave a heartfelt performance of Glen Campbell's "I'm Not Gonna Miss You", and Common and John Legend earned a standing ovation from their uplifting performance of "Glory" from 'Selma'.

After adding three more Grammy Awards to her mantle for a total of 20 awards, Beyoncé took the crowd to church as she performed "Take My Hand, Precious Lord", before introducing Common and John Legend, who closed the show with "Glory".

While her take on the classic didn't even come close to Mahalia Jackson's immaculate version, the diva showed her versatility by delivering a beautiful performance, and the guys, especially Legend and THAT voice, excelled with their Oscar-nominated song. Watch it beneath:
