They could also get SZA to take Zacari's place on "LOVE" so that it gets another nominee in that way.

I imagine sheβll have a bigger part than just this, but I could see Taylor Swift joining Little Big Town for βBetter Man.β Itβs what the band is nominated for this year, and I canβt imagine weβll get another live performance of the song on TV with no major tweak or anything considering how successful itβs been (and the awards TS has won over the course of its run).

This is an off year for all the award shows. The Olympics in February is moving dates earlier and later. hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=309944Tuesday, January 9, 2018 THE GRAMMYS AND THEIR INCREDIBLY SLOW ACCOUNTANTSby Paul Grein Who's gaining momentum in Grammy balloting? Who's losing momentum? We all watched the Golden Globes on Sunday, with its emphasis on female empowerment. Could that possibly boost Lorde's chances for Album of the Year? What, are you kidding me with these questions? The Grammy cake was baked on 12/21, which was the final day of voting. That's fully five weeks before the results will be revealed on the 60th annual Grammy Awards telecast on 1/28.Will somebody please tell me why it takes Grammy accountants five weeks to count the votes? Other award shows work much closer to deadline, so their results are fresher and more current. Oscar ballots are due five days before the awards are announced. (I can practically hear Grammy officials saying, "Yeah, that didn't work so well for the Oscars last year, did it?" Nice try, but the La La Land snafu had nothing to do with their more timely voting system. It was the sole fault of a star-struck accountant who acted like he had never seen a celebrity before.) It seems obvious that voter participation would go up if the voting were conducted closer to the awards. Few people are swept up in Grammy fever in mid-December. They're busy with other things, which, at that time of year, is an understatement. If the voting deadline were, say, 1/15, far more people would vote. Even more people would vote if it was 1/23βfive days before the show. And the voting would be a more current snapshot of voter opinion, shaped by the things we're all seeing and hearing and experiencing, individually and collectively. It would no longer be an old snapshot of how people felt five weeks previously. Ever been to your dentist's office and all they have to read is a five-week old issue of People? It seems kind of stale, doesn't it? The Grammys can do better than that. Here's another wacky fact: The voters had just two weeks (12/7 to 12/21) to vote. So the accountants have two-and-one-half times as long to count the votes as the voters have to vote. What's wrong with this picture?! The voters should have the luxury of time to listen to recordings and consider their decisions. What's the point of giving that luxury of time to the accountants? The Grammys have it backwards. There are conspiracy theorists who argue that the reason that the Grammys insist on having the voters wrap up their work five weeks before the telecast is that they need the time to reconvene their secret, blue-ribbon committee, officially known as the Nominations Review Committee. Under this theory, the committee not only picks the nominees (which the academy freely acknowledges has been the case since 1995) it also picks the winners (which the academy has never acknowledged.) It seems obvious that voter participation would go up if the voting were conducted closer to the awards. I don't believe this theory. If the committee picked the winners, I don't think Adele would have swept the Big Three awards again last year (she had already swept the Big Three five years previously). They might well have given her Record and Song of the Year, but saved Album of the Year for BeyoncΓ© (who has never won in that category, and whose victory would have been seen by many as a breakthrough for the Grammys). I think Adele's sweep all but proves that the committee doesn't pick the winners. But here's the thing: When you behave suspiciously, you encourage suspicion. When you behave transparently, you don't. When the Grammys insist that the voting membership complete their work five weeks before the results will be known, they encourage people to wonder why. I think Neil Portnow and Bill Freimuth should take their counterparts at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to lunch and ask them how they manage to get things done so efficiently. (This year, the Oscars' final round voting period ends on Tuesday, 2/ 27. Winners will be announced five days later, on Sunday, 3/4.) The Oscar team may find it hard to believe that the Grammys (or their accountants) have insisted on a five-week lead time. It is fairly mind-boggling in 2018, when things move fastβespecially in popular music. Most of us wouldn't have it any other way. Here are the relevant dates, taken directly from the Recording Academy's website. First-Round Ballot Period: 10/16β10/29/17 Nominations: 11/28/17 Final-Round Ballot Period: 12/7β12/21/17 60th Annual GRAMMY Awards: 1/28/18

This is the Recording Academyβs first year doing entirely-online voting. They made voting periods shorter because itβs more accessible and doesnβt require time and price consideration for holiday-month snail mail. Additionally, they inflated the timing surrounding the voting blocks in order to help possibly mend any glitches or blips in the system as they begin their first year in this process.

Here is a list of nominated songs/albums (and the categories of nomination) in which I've heard the album that the song is on/album in full.
Best Metal Performance: "Invisible Enemy" β August Burns Red
Best Country Solo Performance: "Either Way" β Chris Stapleton
Best Country Duo/Group Performance: "It Ain't My Fault" β Brothers Osborne; "My Old Man" β Zac Brown Band
Best Country Song: "Broken Halos"
Best Country Album: From a Room: Volume 1 β Chris Stapleton
Best Americana Album: Shine on Rainy Day β Brent Cobb
Best Bluegrass Album: Fiddler's Dream β Michael Cleveland; Laws of Gravity β Infamous Stringdusters; Original β Bobby Osborne
Best Traditional Blues Album: Blue & Lonesome β The Rolling Stones
Best Contemporary Blues Album: Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm β Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm
So knowing that the only one of those categories that'll be televised will be one of the country categories and that the listed performers do nothing for me - the Grammys this year just don't enthuse me.

Music's Biggest Night just got bigger as the Recording Academy announced additional acts to perform on the 60th GRAMMY Awards. Performers added to the lineup are current nominees Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee, Kesha, Bruno Mars with Cardi B, and SZA.
Additionally, first-time GRAMMY nominees Alessia Cara, Khalid and Logic will take the stage with a group of suicide attempt and loss survivors selected by the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline in a special performance delivering an important message.

Tina Turner is being honored with the Lifetime Achievement Award. So is Emmylou Harris I NEED BOTH TO PERFORM The goddesses Queen too....long overdue. I think the Lifetime Achievement Awards are given out in a separate ceremony and concert in the summer. IIRC during the grammy broadcast they just announce who the recipients are and that they will be honored later in the year.

I feel sure at least Kendrick Lamar will be added. I am sure Jay-Z will be asked. I doubt Bieber performs, unless he gets added to the "Despacito" performance.

Anyway I am pretty excited for this show already considering: Bruno/Cardi B (opening performance?) SZA Kesha Childish Gambino Little Big Town Alessia Cara, Khalid and Logic (a message needed right now) Patti LuPone and Ben Platt

Yeah, I'm fully expecting them all to be announced -- besides Beiber. His nom is just from the feature obviously but I included him because he still is part of the "general" nominees.

I could see them skipping Bieber, Lil Uzi and Julia. Jay-Z will be asked but may not do it.

I understand Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder performing every year because they are legends and can do whatever the hell they want. And Gaga always puts on a great show and she's very successful, who I don't understand is John Legend. Like he performs all the time and is present at every award show despite only having one real smash hit and no other presence, it's very strange. It's almost like someone is trying to make him really happen and it's not happening.

It's not much different than Carrie Underwood getting to perform a lot, and Lady Gaga. I know they are 'bigger' stars, but it's more about them being reliable as performers and even hosts.

John Legend is a ten-time Grammy winner (out of 27 nominations); no one is "trying" to make him happen lol. I agree that he is fairly analogous to Carrie in that he is a lauded staple within his own genre (and he might arguably be a bit more respected, having a BNA win and two SOTY nominations while Carrie's BNA win is the only time she's shown up in a major category). If anything, the bigger surprise to me is that he wasn't able to snag a nomination or two this year. Darkness and Light is his first album to not produce any Grammy nominated material.

Carrie was nominated for Record of the Year for "Before He Cheats" and two of her songs were up for Song of the Year - she may not technically have been nominated as a songwriter but her presence was felt. What would tip the scales in John's favor is A. the fact that his biggest hit was 4 years ago vs. Carrie's 12 years ago and B. the fact that John is known as a pianist and songwriter, as well as a performer, whereas Carrie is primarily a singer. Even still, both are well-respected in the industry.

But it doesn't take much to do that. Regardless, my original point (That nothing about John's repeated presence on the Grammy stage is forced, and his respect in that regard is comparable to the amount of respect Carrie seems to have) still stands.

Regardless, my original point (That nothing about John's repeated presence on the Grammy stage is forced, and his respect in that regard is comparable to the amount of respect Carrie seems to have) still stands. Neither John or Carrie have ever been nominated for Record of the Year. John has been nominated in Song of the Year twice (but one of the two times was for Estelle's "American Boy" so not for his song). Carrie hasn't been nominated in SOTY, but two songs that she sung were nominated there. Both won Best New Artist. Both have won a lot of Grammys in their genre. So, they are a good parallel in that sense. I think the initial post questioning John performing a lot was more so making the point he isn't a huge commercial success. He's only had 1 top 10 on the Hot 100, so that's a fair point. He is a very respected musician, though.
