Rap-Up.com || Usher, Bruno Mars, & Janelle Monáe Added as Grammy Performers

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards are about to get a boost of star power. Following last week’s announcement of initial performers, Usher, B.o.B, Bruno Mars, Janelle Monáe, Justin Bieber, and Jaden Smith have been added to music’s biggest night.

Ursh is slated to join his protégé Biebs and Willow’s older brother for what’s being billed as a “dynamic, energetic performance.” Mars, who has seven nominations, will team up with fellow nominees B.o.B and Janelle Monáe for a collaborative set, while Lady Antebellum and Muse take the stage as well.

The new batch of performers joins Eminem, Lady Gaga, Cee Lo Green, Katy Perry, Arcade Fire, and more during the ceremony, broadcasting live on February 13 at 8 p.m. on CBS.

I hope Usher performs alone, without that Justin kid!! Justin will mess up the performance, we all know this will be his 1st and last Grammy attendance, while Usher will continue to shine.

this whole grammy show is turning into a rap/hiphop show, Can’t they have some real talent perform like Adam Lambert?

This is going to be just like the MTV awards. All the Black people will perform while all the White people win the awards. Expect Eminem and his (ridiculously) overrated self along with Lady Gaga to sweep the show.

Hip-Hop used to DOMINATE back in the early 2000s, yet Black folks were never acknowledged by the Grammy’s for their talent. Shameful.

“Yes” to Janelle, “alright” to Bruno, and “I am getting sick and tired of seeing you perform ‘OMG’ & ‘DJ Got Us Fallin’ In Love’” to Usher.
