Bruno Mars, Sting, Rihanna, Damian Marley, and Ziggy Marley

After appearing in court with Chris Brown earlier in the week, Rihanna got back to work, gearing up for her big performance at the 55th Annual Grammy Awards. She ran through rehearsals with Bruno Mars and Sting, who will share the stage with her at the Staples Center on Sunday. She also met up backstage with Damian and Ziggy Marley, posting the photo on Instagram.

RiRi, who performed with Coldplay at last year’s show, is nominated for three awards at this year’s ceremony including Best Pop Solo Performance and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

On Thursday night, she rubbed elbows with her Roc Nation family including Jay-Z, Beyoncé, and Melanie Fiona at Solange’s House of Blues show.

The Grammys will air live on Sunday on CBS with performances from Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, Miguel, Wiz Khalifa, Taylor Swift, and more.

@2bad2bme@yahoo.com, I know it all boils down to opinion, but he’s a great all-round artist. He’s a great showman, and many artists (especially the older ones like Sting, Elton John, The Beach Boys, Kool and the Gang, Janet Jackson, Paul McCartney) have praised him because of this. He was once signed to Motown Records (I personally think his voice is pretty distinctive & has a unique tone), has written and produced for a wide array of artists, including Cee-Lo’s ‘Forget You’ (which ended up becoming a huge hit, and was critically acclaimed!!!), Brandy, Lloyd, Matisyahu, K’naan, Adam Lambert, Alicia Keys, Melanie Fiona, etc; and is a talented multi-instrumentalist. So I have to disagree with you there.

@2bad2bme@yahoo.com, And who said he got praise just from his voice? Everyone know many singers are better than Bruno. But he’s not just a singer but also a good songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and great performer. He’s all around musician. Those AI contestants got nothing on Bruno.

@2bad2bme@yahoo.com,

Bruno is a talanted musician, good performer and i like his voice. I have more Respect for bruno for working hard for years to get were he is being a songwriter,producer and a multi-instrumentalist. Instead of going on some singing tv show.
