This is my favorite time of the year when it comes to television – the award ceremonies. And the 54th Annual Grammy Awards for 2012 will be one of the best ever, especially because one of my favorite performers (Adele) will be performing for the first time since her surgery.
But aside from the everyone’s favorite soulful singer, who else can you catch at the Grammys?
The Beach Boys
Okay, seriously, I think this is cool. I’ve never been a big Beach Boys fan, but being that I’m from California, and a lot of their songs speak to the beach-y-ness of that state, they still hold a warm place in my heart. And they will definitely be performing this year at the Grammys…all. Original. Members.
How cool is that?
Plus, they will be performing with Maroon 5 (starring my crush and yours – Adam Levine) along with Foster the People.
Coolness? I think so.
And that isn’t the only dynamic duo (err…trio) that you can catch at the Grammys…
Coldplay and Rihanna will also be performing together. If I could submit a song request? I’d love to hear Rihanna sing “Yellow” by Coldplay and I’d love to hear Coldplay sing, “We Found Love.”
Anyone else with me on that one?
But these aren’t the only superstars that will be gracing the stage, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band will be performing as well.
And if that doesn’t exactly quench your palette, you may like to know that Taylor Swift will be performing as well.
Oh wait…and I’m totally not done yet.
This year the Grammys seem to be all about the performances…because Alicia Keys and Bonnie Rait will also pay tribute to Etta James (and can I just say kudos on the choice for pairing those two singers together?). Not to mention Glen Campbell, who will also be receiving a lifetime achievement award (not a country fan? Just think “Rhinestone Cowboy).
Plus, Kelly Clarkson, Nicki Minaj (who I just LOVE…), Carrie Underwood, Tony Bennett, Paul McCartney, Bruno Mars…
And last but not least, there is also another collaboration with Chris Brown, deadmau5, Foo Fighters, David Guetta (remember him from American Idol?) and Lil Wayne. Doesn’t that just sound like the music equivalent of pickles and ice cream?
So no matter who you are and what kind of music you are into, you are definitely going to be pleased at some point while watching the show.
Make sure you catch the Grammy Awards this Sunday on CBS at 8 PM ET.
