Disappointing lack of hip-hop. Kanye & Jay-Z are tied for most nominations this year but no performance. Drake was wrongfully snubbed for Album of the Year (and ROTY, perhaps) and no performance. Nas put out his best album in years but no performance. But we get Wiz Khalifa (offering his lazy add-on verse for Miguel) and LL Cool J & Chuck D (perhaps a cool performance but certainly no sign of the current state/sound of hip-hop).
Here's hoping Kendrick Lamar gets his due next year with major nominations and a performance.
Also disappointed Gotye got left off but I guess we've heard STIUTK enough.
Very excited for Frank Ocean, Black Keys, the Mumford/Alabama Shakes/etc. collab, Miguel, Kelly Clarkson and Mumford & Sons. Justin Timberlake, Elton John, Taylor Swift, Rihanna and M5/AK could go either way.

I'm kinda shocked about Gotye. He had the biggest song of 2012 and yet he's not even performing??? Was he not asked or does he have better things to do? I'm really curious if he's lucky enough to win a Grammy, will he even be there to collect it? I doubt he'll have many other opportunities where he might be nominated for a Grammy and actually win one. I mean we have Taylor Swift "performing" and for f***s sake she's not even nominated.

Taylor got 3 noms...
And Gotye I'm not surprised at all. He didn't push a 2nd single, didn't appear to care about maintaining any mainstream success.

I can't help but think that Gotye himself is responsible for his absence. I am not even expecting him to attend honestly. And it sticks out like a sore thumb that Carly Rae Jepsen and Hunter Hayes aren't performing. I would think if you're nominated for one of the major categories a spot should be automatic. Gotye may come off as eschewing mainstream accolades but I can't imagine why Carly or Hunter would turn it down to only be presenters.
And yeah, Taylor is not only nominated, but nominated for ROTY at that. So her performing makes a lot of sense, actually.

I forgot Taylor was nominated for ROTY. That "sixth" nomination is almost something I consistently forget. Anyway, Gotye even has a real shot at winning SOTY... when was the last time a nominee didn't even show up at the Grammys that won one of the "big ones"? And if Gotye does show up, I'll be even more curious as to why he's not performing. I don't believe "people are sick of the song" is an excuse. The Grammys are about celebrating the nominations and nominees, not "what's current this week and not this past Summer".
I also don't believe that it's about him not pushing a major second single. "Eyes Wide Open" was released to Rock format, it just bombed is all. IMO it's a very good song but like Carly Rae Jespen, it's not like he didn't try to land a successful follow-up single and I think it was beyond their means anyway. Isn't it up to their label to promote them? For crying out loud, at first Gotye's label wasn't even going to submit him as a contender for "BEST NEW ARTIST".
Even if Gotye doesn't win... I'm more perplexed as to why he's not performing and/or shunning mainstream accolades. Hell, even Bon Iver showed up to collect their award even after they pretty much poo-poo'd the Grammys. It's about respecting those who also voted for you as well. If a musician becomes so pretentious that a "Grammy" is something to scoff at, then why even bother perform music as an artist and hope to become successful at all if you're too good for mainstream success. That's the type of snobbery I think is ungrateful and ludicrous coming from a musician. Like they all want to be starving, struggling, misunderstood and critical darlings but only selling 100 copies of their records to maintain their uniqueness.

Who said Gotye had any say in performing or not ??? The Grammys decide who are performing, not the artists. And Carly and Hunter were probably not asked to perform. They are presenting instead. Every year plenty of big General artists are only presenting. They only have so many slots and they also have to have a few performances to celebrate new music, tributes and special collaborations as well

No one has said Gotye had any say. I wondered if Gotye was asked and he turned it down, or if he wasnt asked period. The artists do decide if they want to perform if they ARE asked by the Grammys, they can either say yes or no.

Taylor Swift has confirmed in a pre-grammy interview that she is performing "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together".

Was hoping for a solid EDM performance following last year's failed experiment, but I guess we'll have to settle for this old-school turntable dude instead. Who knows, he might be good. And at least he's bringing along Tom Morello and Travis Barker, two of the last people I'd ever expect to perform at the Grammys.
Also disappointed (but not surprised) at the short shrift given to hip hop. They could've just had Drake or Nas do one of their softer tracks and no one would've batted an eyelash. Wiz Khalifa, on the other hand, shouldn't be allowed anywhere near the Grammys. Next year will have to improve on this front.
As far as I'm concerned, the Lumineers and Mumford & Sons are the same band, so there's a total of three Mumford & Sons performances. That is a preposterous amount of Mumford & Sons.
Happy to see some real Latin representation for once.
The jazz tribute will either be very interesting or very, very boring.

Not sure if this had been posted previously (sorry if so), but according to Ken Ehrlich in last week's Billboard Magazine, which I'm just now getting around to reading, Maroon 5 and Alicia Keys are doing a mashup of "Daylight" and "Girl On Fire." Curious how that will turn out.

I'm pretty intrigued by the Maroon 5/Alicia Keys performance. Could be fun.

I'd actually write him off altogether. However, I enjoyed most of your other picks! Yeah, I understand. I just figure either Dierks or Miranda will win their category since they're both performing and thought he would be the more likely one. Maybe Four The Record can pull off a win, but I doubt that too. We'll see on Sunday. I'd rather see "Blown Away" win Country Vocal as well.

both Taylor's nomination and performance of Never Ever Whatever are so unnecessary.

both Taylor's nomination and performance of Never Ever Whatever are so unnecessary. It was a huge record breaking #1 hit and inescapable on radio. I think that easily warrants a RECORD OF THE YEAR nomination. I am very excited to see her open the show and curious to see what she's gonna do.

Ken Ehrlich, producers of the Grammys, told Entertainment Weekly that Justin is opening the show with a medley of "Suit & Tie" and a new song.

I thought Taylor was supposed to open. Maybe they changed? Or maybe the new song is a pop duet with Taylor (then she could segue into Never Ever? idk.)?
