Rihanna and Coldplay combined dance and rock music on a medley performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards that included hits from each artist as well as their collaboration ‘Princess of China.’
Nicki Minaj is known for her crazy antics but her performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards Sunday night was simply weird. We should have realized that something strange was going to happen when she graced the red carpet as Little Red Riding Hood. WTF?
Tonight at the 2012 Grammy Awards, pop stars hit the red carpet for pictures prior to the big event. Like any other A-list award show, stars like Adele, Bruno Mars, David Guetta, Kelly Rowland, Wiz Khalifa plus many more hit the red carpet at the 2012 Grammy Awards dressed to the nines.
Jay-Z and Kanye West nabbed the 2012 Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance for ‘Otis’ from their blazing hot ‘Watch the Throne’ collaborative album, which dropped in the summer. Sadly, neither the Hova or Yeezy were in attendance to collect their statues at the ceremony, so presenters Fergie and Marc Anthony graciously accepted on their behalf.
Bruno Mars was the first pop act to perform at the 2012 Grammy Awards and the second performer overall, following classic rock legend Bruce Springsteen, who opened the show. Mars rocked his way through ‘Runaway Baby’ with a classic, Rat Pack energy. His performance was inspired by another era. But that’s what Mars does so well. He even busted out a golden megaphone mid-set, too.
The Grammy Awards is shaping up to be one helluva show! Organizers are now planning to honor the genre of electronica/dance music (or EDM) at the awards ceremony on Feb. 12. Grammy nominees Lil Wayne, Deadmau5, the Foo Fighters, David Guetta and Chris Brown have been tapped to perform on the segment.
With the recent passing of Etta James, it’s only appropriate that the Recording Academy will pay homage to the late R&B icon with a live performance at the 2012 Grammys. It has now been confirmed that Alicia Keys is the songstress who will perform a tribute to Miss Peaches at the show on Feb. 12.
Rihanna is going to be one busy girl on Grammy Day, which is Feb. 12. Not only will she perform with Coldplay at the ceremony, but she will also grace the stage at a charity event at the House of Blues in Los Angeles. Proceeds from the show will benefit the Children’s Orthopaedic Center and The Mark Taper–Johnny Mercer Artists Program at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles.
What do you get when you combine Taylor Swift and LL Cool J? A wonderfully surprising comedic duo! Swift and LL recently teamed up for a series of hilarious Grammy promos — Swift is nominated for three awards and is scheduled to perform, while LL will host the show. In the clips, the country cutie and old-school rap star trade back-handed comments at one another.
