Megan has been working with JaQuel over the past week for a stage performance. Sheβs more than likely performing as well.

Who wants to hangout on a Zoom room for five hours lmao. I think Clive truly believes his party to be way more of a big deal than what it really is. I do virtual/Zoom party and play several times a week so clearly plenty do.

Watch there not actually be a formal award show with performances and the awards are handed out over zoom.

Watch there not actually be a formal award show with performances and the awards are handed out over zoom. Meg's definitely preparing for a performance (per her IG stories), and Dua arrived in LA last week, presumably because of the show. So I'm pretty positive (no pun intended) there will be a live musical performance element. I'm curious to see if they'll have a red carpet or if the artists will ever be in the same room, though. I hope the show doesn't feel as dystopian as the VMAs. Then again, we live in a dystopian world so who knows!

The little I saw of the Golden Globes looked pretty good. I think the Grammys should trim the performances and up the awards they give on air. I mean, they should have done that years ago but now thereβs actual reason to for ease of the show itself in a covid environment.

I guess I was just thinking about the live audience and physically distanced tables.

We are in the middle of a fucking pandemic and they have the goddamn nerve to demand that it be the same sort of ceremony as we have always had? Get of here with that mess Inga! These "writers" who have nothing better to do than to bitch and kvetch about everything in attention-seeking think pieces such as the one linked above need to go out and get laid.

VMAs handled the performances very good so why can't Grammys do the same? Nobody cared about Golden Globes and it was really a disaster to watch.

FLAG ON THE PLAY: Grammy has its biggest nominations mess in yearsβand a chilling example of its lack of transparencyβin the blackballing of The Weeknd by an internal cabal who agreed in theory to let him do both the Super Bowl and the Grammysβthen pulled the rug out. Insiders continue buzzing about the legendary call with the NFL, Pepsi, CBS, Roc Nation, Academy reps and the artistβs team, during which it was established that he could do both events. This was followed by perhaps the biggest Grammy fuck-you ever, as he was zeroed out of the nominations. How could this have happened, and why? Itβs believed the process was manipulated by people who wanted to see him do the Super Bowl exclusively. How this was achievedβand who else was complicit in itβremains a mystery. What was the quid pro quo for allowing the deck to be stacked against Abel and Sal? Did the conspirators really believe this would go unnoticed? Explosive on-the-record reporting on this is inevitable, as no denials are issued by the Academy apart from the claim that The Weeknd βdidnβt get the votes,β which nobody believesβand is unverifiable. CBSβ Jack Sussman and producer Ben Winston were undoubtedly blindsided by the episode and wouldβve preferred the opportunity to feature The Weeknd prominently, though buzz around the upcoming telecast remains impressively strong. This is far more appalling than the bullshit weβve seen in the genre categories, notably from the Nashville chapter, where the nominations continue to be controlled by a small group of insiders who have too many axes to grind and enough conflicts of interest to choke the horse they rode in on. But itβs a larger symptom of the same rot. After endless promises of change, itβs an insult to the entire business, as the cabalists remain under their cloak of secrecy. And who enables all this to happen? Who is the puppet master executing the wishes of the Academy, whose job security is preserved by the secrets he keeps for the powers that be? That would be Chief Awards Officer Bill Freimuth. Once the Grammys moved to 3/14, of course, the whole tempest in a teapot over scheduling became moot. hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=325406&title=NEAR-TRUTHS%253A-UNCORKED

I don't know...unless there's official confirmation from the artists themselves or the Academy, I would take this with a grain of salt. After all, they could have just assumed the performers based on the nominations.
Out of those, I think Taylor and Billie are the most likely. Is Harry even in the US right now?

Is Harry even in the US right now?I don't believe he is, but not sure he needs to be. Some of the performances could be pre-recorded. Or he could fly here and go back. His next movie starts filming April 12, so assuming would need to quarantine before, but that should still give him enough time to do so. Paul Roberts hinted at a "Treat People With Kindness" performance on an IG story saying they were back in rehearsals with "T-P-W-K" on their feet, but who knows if it is related or not. Or is throwing us off. lol That song would have been my last guess!

I remember some stans on twitter putting together an ad like this last year. Wouldn't trust it until the Academy confirms.

I hope they decide to troll and pick the most random winners. It's not like they have have any credibility left anyways.
Who wants to watch Taylor Swift win another AOTY? Give it to Coldplay or Black Pumas! That way, we get at least some form of entertainment.

So the Grammys just announced the performers but it was only 23 while the poster had 26 spaces left to fill. Who do you think are the other three?

Surprised to see that neither JhenΓ© Aiko nor Jacob Collier were invited to perform on the main show, despite being AOTY nominees. It's unfair that Aiko was entirely relegated to hosting the pre-show, and performing on the Grammys would have provided great exposure to Collier. Well, at least Black Pumas will be there.
Ignoring a certain snub that plagues this whole ceremony, this is a very strong line-up, nicely representing some of the key players for 2020 in music. I'll be looking forward to it.

I still don't get what really happened with The Weeknd, especially after his last album actually won a Grammy well after it was out of the spotlight.

Brandi Carlile is performing but Iβm stuck as to what sheβd perform unless sheβs joining someone else - maybe Maren? Idk.

Exactly, the whole show is in a huge mess because of this, no matter who are performing. He was the biggest artist in the world last year (or one of them). It's like Billboard Awards ignoring that Drake exists.
