It is confirmed that Janet Jackson has been added as a performer to take the stage at next month's 50th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony. The show is set to air February 10th and already features Beyonce as a performer, as I previously reported. This will hopefully be her first performance of the hot new single "Feedback" from her forthcoming album Discipline, out later that same month on the 26th. News that Janet is performing is enough to make me giddy, especially when the fact that it will be on music's biggest night is factored in. This year's show is looking to be a great one!In related news, the Writers Guild of America, currently on strike, has agreed not to picket the event, leaving stars free to attend without having to cross picket lines. Also, I updated my previous post about Beyonce performing at the Grammys to add a very exciting detail! Check it out.
UPDATE: More confirmed performers now include Mary J. Blige, Rihanna, and Carrie Underwood. Blige will, along with Aretha Franklin, among others, perform in a gospel segment, while Rihanna will perform alongside some band, I believe, named the Time that is reuniting for the event. Information via Billboard. I will continue to update this post for any possible further Grammy news!
UPDATE #2: In addition to the fact that Janet performing at the Grammys could turn out to be only a rumor, as there has been no official announcement by them as of yet, Alicia Keys was, in fact, recently confirmed (via Billboard) as a performer at the show. Hey, that's cool!
UPDATE #3: In their recent article featuring news of the Grammy night's unique duets, Billboard announced that Fergie has been added to the performer line-up. She will be performing with John Legend. Awesome. Also, Michael Jackson will reportedly be making an appearance! Still holdin' out for Janet!
