I hope Kelly performs. Seems like a given as she's the most nominated female and up for two of the big awards, but you never know.
I wouldn't be shocked if Beyonce opened. Have they announced an opening/closing act?

They should have announced Kelly in this last round of performers to capitalize on her Inauguration hype. I'll be stunned if she doesn't perform.
And to my knowledge, no, they have not announced the opening act just yet. A Beyonce or Justin T opener would be bananas.

I'm shocked they haven't announced Frank, Kelly and Hunter Hayes as performers yet. I hope all three are added to the lineup.

I wouldn't worry about them not announcing Kelly yet. I can't imagine the Grammys not having the top-nominated female of the year perform at the show, especially one who has 2 general field nominations.
I'd say that the performers to come will include Kelly, Hunter, Frank, Pink, Beyonce, and possibly Justin Timberlake. Can't say I'm fairly certain on anyone else, though.

I thought you had to be nominated in order to perform...? Not the case at all. Just last year, for example, The Beach Boys, Glen Campbell, Jennifer Hudson, and a couple others all performed but weren't nominated.

She doesn't have a writing credit on "Stronger," so if the song wins SOTY, she won't have won that Grammy.

If you are being highlighted (as in a tribute) or apart of that tribute they let you perform. I can't remember the last time that somebody that wasn't nominated performed their own material.

I remember Taylor Swift & Miley Cyrus perfomed "Fifteen" at the 2009 Grammys and neither were nominated that year. Madonna also opened the 2006 Grammys with "Hung Up" and I don't think she had a nomination that year.

Well if we're going by who would actually win the award, then yes, you're correct, but I was just implying that she's got material nominated in 2 general field categories, so I don't see why she wouldn't perform.

still keeping with my prediction that Kelly will open the awards. i think thats why she hasnt been announced yet. I think she will open to awards with Catch My Breath and or Stronger. Then the first award presented will be pop solo and she will win.

That would be too much Kelly right out the gate.
How about Lionel Richie doing the tribute section or some othe performance slot? He did have a great come back last year.
Waiting for the Alicia Keys performance to be officially confirmed by the Grammys. Her backup singers already did.

LOL at the Kelly Clarkson fantasy post...
Anyone have a list of who has 'confirmed' a performance in someway? Also...information on how many performances there are usually each year?

Nobody has announced a confirmed song they'll be performing, from what I know of. We only know the confirmed performers -- The Black Keys, Carrie Underwood, Dierks Bentley, Ed Sheeran, Elton John, fun., Jack White, The Lumineers, Miranda Lambert, Mumford & Sons, Rihanna, and Taylor Swift. As for the number of performances, last year had 19 and the year before that had 17, so I'd say anywhere in the 16-20 range. Seeing as Ed Sheeran and Elton John are doing a combined performance, as are Miranda Lambert and Dierks Bentley, that gives us 10 sets so far. I'd expect 7 or 8 more to be announced, with Kelly probably being one of them.

Also, not sure if anyone has announced it or not, but LL Cool J will be back to host again this year, as per an ad for the show I saw tonight on television.

Six-time Grammy winner Justin Timberlake will perform on the 55th Annual Grammy Awards telecast next weekend, the show announced today. This marks the first time in four years that Timberlake will take the Grammy stage, and it will be his debut TV performance on the eve of his first studio album in seven years.
It seems likely that he will perform his new single, "Suit & Tie," which was released earlier this month.
This coming Saturday, Timberlake will suit up and perform his first proper concert in years at a New Orleans event on the eve of the Super Bowl.
At the Grammys, Timberlake joins previously announced performers Dierks Bentley and Miranda Lambert, The Black Keys, fun., the Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Jack White, as well as Elton John and current nominee Ed Sheeran performing live together for the first time. LL Cool J returns as host.
The show will air live on Sunday, Feb. 10, at Staples Center in Los Angeles from 8 – 11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

Where are the R&B/Hip-Hop performers? Announce Frank Ocean, Miguel & Drake, please.
Also, I've still thought STIUTK was in front for ROTY, despite his Best New Artist snub and fun.'s slightly unexpected across-the-board nominations. But if Gotye isn't performing, I'll be second-guessing that prediction.
Ideally, I'd like to see Frank Ocean, Miguel, Drake (and co.?), Kelly Clarkson, Gotye and Alabama Shakes announced as performers.
I would not like Carly Rae Jepsen or Maroon 5 performing, despite the big 2012 they both had.

If Rih is smart she'd perform We Found Love/Stay. I still need WFL in my life.

I would bet that Justin would open, though I don't know why they wouldn't announce it. Maybe Beyonce will?

Yeah, either Justin or Beyonce seem the most obvious choice for opening performer. (Or performers, if the speculation that he's the feature on her lead single ends up being true.)
Rihanna is not going to be doing WFL this year, as adamepyare pointed out she sang it last year. Likely, she'll just do "Stay" since "Diamonds" is more or less done.

Meh, I don't want Kelly, Justin or Beyonce. I'd rather have Macklemore & Ryan Lewis open with Can't Hold Us, but that's just me.
