former contestants from singing shows and two current coaches were up for Grammy honors Sunday night.

In each case, the Grammy went to someone else.

But former X Factor contestant Camila Cabello still supplied one of the night’s most touching moments, singing “First Man,” a tribute to her father.

Former Idol contestant Danny Gokey, now a Christian artist, was up for two awards. In both case, the honor went to King and Country.

Danny took to Twitter to congratulate the group.

“I didn’t win a Grammy tonight but I’m still so thankful to Christian radio and all those who have supported my music. Quite honestly, maybe ‘I just haven’t seen it yet,’ Danny wrote in a play on the title of his Grammy-nominated album.

“I believe my best songs are still yet to come,” he added. “Congrats to @4kingandcountry for their 2 wins.”

Also up for Grammy Awards were Voice coaches Blake Shelton and John Legend and former Voice finalist Koryn Hawthorne, now a gospel artist.
