Grammy’s
Posted by T Rex on February 10, 2008
It’s the 50th anniversary of the Grammy’s tonight and the only thing really interesting is what kind of condition Amy Winehouse will be in singing via satellite from a London studio. Aretha, Feist, Tina Turner and John Paul Jones with the Foo’s aren’t enough to make me want to watch all 3 hours but I know I probably will.
John Mayer, Kayne West and BeBe Winans have been added to the performance line-up. Previously announced performers include Beyoncé and Tina Turner; Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban; Eldar; Feist; Fergie and John Legend; John Fogerty with Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard; Foo Fighters (with special guest conductor John Paul Jones); Herbie Hancock and Lang Lang (conducted by famed maestro John Mauceri); Alicia Keys; Kid Rock; Dave Koz; Brad Paisley; Keely Smith; Carrie Underwood; 2008 MusiCares Person of the Year Aretha Franklin, the Clark Sisters, Israel And New Breed, and Trin-I-Tee 5:7 in a special gospel segment; the casts of “The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil” and Across The Universe in a special Beatles segment; and Rihanna with a reunited the Time in a special 50th anniversary segment.
I finished reading Richard Cohen’s article on Clive Davis’s amazing 40yr career in this month’s Rolling Stone. Check out some great photo’s of Clive over the years here.
MSN is streaming interviews and performances of his pre-grammy bash last night here. Foo Fighters did their thing, Alicia Keys hers and Chris Daughtry sang with the NickeCreek dude with special guest on guitar Slash.
Nothing special……just like tonight.
