Grammy Line-Up Expands…Again…

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.
