both Taylor's nomination and performance of Never Ever Whatever are so unnecessary. It is necessary.ROTY nomination for it. What I don't get? Why CRJ gets to present and not perform her megahit "Call Me Maybe" when she is up for Song Of The Year instead of somebody like Mumford & Sons again.

Mumford & Sons is nominated for 6 awards, including Album of the Year. They are the logical frontrunner to win AOTY. Not sure why their performance would be in question? As far as Gotye, I believe Bon Iver won BNA last year without performing and Kings of Leon won Record of the Year without performing. So it's still possible he could eak out ROTY.

Yeah but who was the last artist to not even show up to collect a Grammy in one of the three big categories?
And I don't think Esperanza Spalding performed when she won BNA either.

Can't say I agree with the Dierks Bentley pick for Country Vocal. 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. Well Carrie's performing, too. I think Carrie's going to win it and I'm still on the fence as to whether "Blown Away" will trump "Springsteen" in the Country Song category.

FULL, FINAL PERFORMERS LIST: DIERKS BENTLEY & MIRANDA LAMBERT THE BLACK KEYS & DR. JOHN AND THE PRESERVATION HALL JAZZ BAND KELLY CLARKSON FUN. THE LUMINEERS MIGUEL & WIZ KHALIFA MUMFORD & SONS FRANK OCEAN RIHANNA TAYLOR SWIFT CARRIE UNDERWOOD JACK WHITE ELTON JOHN & ED SHEERAN ALICIA KEYS & MAROON 5 BRUNO MARS, RIHANNA & STING JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE JUANES TRAVIS BARKER/CHUCK D/LL COOL J/TOM MORELLO/DJ Z-TRIP STANLEY CLARKE/CHICK COREA/KENNY GARRETT - DAVE BRUBECK TRIBUTE ZAC BROWN/BRITTANY HOWARD/MUMFORD & SONS/ELTON JOHN/MAVIS STAPLES - LEVON HELM TRIBUTE So Rihanna gets her own performance and is part of the reggae tribute? Really? Anyway, what I love about this year is that a lot of the winners seem to be up in the air. I am not really confident about who will win Album or Record. Song of the Year seems like it will probably go to "We Are Young." Frank Ocean looks to win Best New Artist, but I could see anyone winning.

Some behind the scenes clips. Not much information in them other than Frank Ocean doing "Forrest Gump."

In previous years there have been major-category nominees who didn't perform but for some reason this year seems so glaring. Maybe it's just b/c I'm paying closer attention; in retrospect Kings of Leon not performing is really strange too. Leaving out just two artists out of all the 'big 4' nominees just seems weird. Not saying they had to get a post completely to themselves, either; they could have shoehorned them into a tribute or group performance somewhere. Carly could have possibly taken the Patti Page half of Kelly's Patt/Carole King tribute, for example (though I think Kelly will be fantastic on both parts), while Hunter could have been teamed up with Dierks and Miranda. A simple fix without having to worry about running the show over or not getting in the ones who aren't nominated but have something to promote (love your music JT, but just saying...if any performance was truly expendable it would be that one).
Has there ever been an AOTY nominee that hasn't performed (aside from posthumous nominees, of course)? That seems to be the one category where they do make an effort to get every nominee on stage.

It constantly strikes me as bizarre to see Mumford & Sons nominated for the rock awards, especially when they're alongside bands like the Black Keys and Iron Maiden.
Obviously, if there's a problem it lies with me and it's a consequence of my preconceptions, but even so... I don't know.

Babel, Mumford & SonsChannel Orange, Frank Ocean Blunderbuss, Jack White RECORD OF THE YEAR"Lonely Boy", The Black Keys "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)", Kelly Clarkson "We Are Young", fun. feat.

Alison Krauss COUNTRY SONG"Blown Away", Carrie Underwood"Cost of Livin'", Ronnie Dunn "Even if it Breaks Your Heart", Eli Young Band "So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore", Alan Jackson "Springsteen", Eric Church
COUNTRY ALBUM Uncaged, Zac Brown Band Hunter Hayes, Hunter Hayes Living for a Song: A Tribute to Hank Cochran, Jamey Johnson Four the Record, Miranda Lambert The Time Jumpers, The Time Jumpers
NOTES -Album of the Year was pretty give-and-take for me when the nominations were first announced, but after listening through all five of the albums multiple times, I'm hesitant, but willing, to put money on Mumford & Sons. -Song of the Year can honestly go any direction since I still believe that the Record & Song of the Year nominees should be 100% transposed to the opposite category that they're nominated in, lol. I don't think fun. will take both ROTY and SOTY and I don't think Kelly will be able to nab either, unfortunately, so I'm going to go with Carly Rae Jepsen. It's not the best form of lyricism by any means in regards to 2012, but think "Single Ladies" managed to win it back in 2010 so anything is possible. -Record of the Year will go to fun. I don't think Gotye's getting anything in the General or Pop fields. -Best New Artist is a big question mark. I'm always shifting my mind between fun. and Frank Ocean, and because I'm always widdling it down to those two, I feel like the Grammys will be, well, The Grammys and pull out a curveball and give it to Hunter Hayes. I'm going with Frank Ocean -- not my final answer, though since my mind will probably change in about half an hour anyways. -Pop Solo Vocal better go to f**king Kelly. Love Adele, but SFTTR(L) doesn't deserve that award. -Pop Vocal Album will go to fun. because they're the ones with the most General field nods out of everyone in that category. -Pop Duo/Group will probably also go to fun. I still don't see Gotye winning, but if there was a second option of who to win, it'd be STIUTK. -Country Solo Vocal will go to Carrie. Dierks, Eric, Blake, and Hunter have never won before and the last time Ronnie Dunn picked up a Grammy was in 1996 for "My Maria". Carrie's the only female in the entire category (which says something), gave the best vocal, "Blown Away" was massive (probably the second-biggest song to "Wanted" in the category), and she's never not been nominated for the Country Solo award since her very first nomination (and win) in '07 with "Jesus, Take the Wheel". -Country Song will go to either "Blown Away" or "Springsteen" -- I have NO idea which one will get the award, though. -Praying that Country Album goes to Miranda Lambert because hers is the only album in that category that I thoroughly enjoy. -Country Duo/Group Vocal Performance is all Taylor's.

^ I 100% agree with your predictions!!! I also am split on "Best New Artist" but I think Hunter Hayes does have a lot of momentum going so I think he could pull it off.

Is seems odd that there is a lack of Hip Hop performances this year. I am a rock/country/pop fan, but I kind of feel bad for the hip hop fans here.
Did Kanye ban the Grammys this year or something? I recall reading something like that. Too bad as he will likely pick up a few more wins.
I do wish they had a big rock band this year too, as it seems Rock light.
Honestly, they need Lady Gaga or Beyonce or Madonna or Katy Perry too---- as even Pop feels a bit light this year.
I love many of the performers on the list, but it just feels like we are missing a few more needed big names for ratings, as there are so many newbies performing this year.
I am most looking forward to these performances:
Black Keys Mumford Rihanna collab to honor Bob Marley Carrie Underwood Elton John and Ed Sheeran Juanes Kelly Clarkson

Good to see Juanes there. There was a time when a Latin had q spot. Ricky Martin, Marc Anthony, Shakira, Gloria Estefan. Then with the Latin Grammys there have been fewer appearances by Latin artists but I hope they come back

Yeah, Latinos and Latinas need to be represented at the American Grammys, if for no other reason than the fact that they represent a large portion of the country and culture. On top of that, some of the best music is Latin or Latin-influenced. It's awesome that they get their own award show but I think they should have more representation on the American Grammys.

When does the actual pre-award ceremony start again? 4 o'clock?
FUSE starts their live red carpet coverage at 4 PM Eastern, with both E! and TV Guide following an hour later at 5 PM Eastern.

They are confusing the Grammys with the Oscars which are airing in a few weeks. Her big return is on that show.
