Grammy Line-Up Expands…Again…

Posted by TawnyTucker on February 5th, 2009

There is another Grammy Performance added for Sunday night.  There will be a tribute to Bo Diddley featuring current nominees Buddy Guy, BB King, John Mayer, and Keith Urban.  These are the latest added to the star studded performances expected. 

They join previously announced performers Adele; Chris Brown; Kenny Chesney; Coldplay; Estelle and Kanye West; Jennifer Hudson; Jonas Brothers; Kid Rock; Lil Wayne; Paul McCartney (with special guest drummer Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters); Katy Perry; Robert Plant & Alison Krauss; Radiohead; Rihanna; Sugarland; Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus; T.I. and Justin Timberlake; U2; Carrie Underwood; a Four Tops Tribute featuring Duke Fakir (2009 Lifetime Achievement Award recipient and original member of the Four Tops), Jamie Foxx and Ne-Yo; and Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, T.I. and Kanye Westin a special performance of their hit single “Swagga Like Us.”

Okay, I may actually watch now.  I won’t lie…I woulda probably set the DVR and watched it in fast forward.  Mainly because I wouldn’t be able to pass up the Taylor Swift/Miley Cyrus train wreck….I mean performance.  But now, I got me some Keith Urban to watch, so I’ll have two performances to hit the “play” button for. 

You can read the full article here.  A special shout-out to Val for the heads-up.

OMG! OMG!

Rascal Flatts got a Grammy Nomination!!!!!!! They are nominated with:

Way to go! MY FAVORITE TWO GROUPS GETTING PROPS FROM THE GRAMMYS. It’s a good night!

Side note:  yes, another one.  John Mayer is hot with short hair.

Full run down of country Grammy nominations:

Lady Antebellum is nominated with Adele, Duffy, Jonas Brothers and Jazmine Sullivan. Way to represent country music!

NOTE:  The Grammy’s think that the Eagles are pop (not country).  They are nominated for best pop performance by duo or group and a number of other POP awards.

Martina McBride
LeAnn Rimes
Carrie Underwood
Lee Ann Womack
Trisha Yearwood

Best Male Country Performance:
Trace Adkins

Brad Paisley

Best Country Collaboration With Vocals:
Shiftwork – Kenny Chesney & George Strait

Can I just say…It kills me that the CMA’s can give Kenny Chesney Entertainer of the Year award for 100 years in a row BUT the Grammy’s don’t even think he is worth a Best Male Performance nomination.  Just makes you wonder how much politics are involved in the music industry.   That just doesn’t match up.

The Eagles didn’t have any business performing, Lady Antebellum won the most deserving award last night, James Otto messed up the beginning of his song but he sounded great, Jason Aldean kicks ass on stage, Darius Rucker has found a place in country music, George Strait is boring to watch but loves to take home awards, Miranda Lambert showed her soft side and we love it, Shania Twain still looks amazing but should have done more last night, yes, we know.  Carrie Underwood can sing, Kenny Chesney is still Entertainer of the Year but we DO NOT agree with this decision and finally – we saved the best for last – Rascal Flatts are still and will always be the Greatest Vocal Group of the Year!

Steph in the City has some great pictures from the CMA After parties.
