UNION-TRIBUNE

February 10, 2008
Troubled English retro-soul singer Amy Winehouse got out of rehab in London Thursday, but she won't be on hand when the Grammy Awards celebrates its 50th anniversary today in Los Angeles.

  Winehouse, who is nominated in six Grammy categories, failed to obtain a U.S. visa that would have enabled her to enter the country to attend and perform at today's star-studded awards fete. Best known for her autobiographical 2007 hit song, “Rehab” – which features the defiant refrain: They tried to make me got to rehab / I said: 'No, no, no.' – the 24-year-old vocal star has battled drugs and alcohol. For much of the past year, her increasingly self-destructive binges have made more headlines than her music.

With or without Winehouse, tonight's show won't lack for high-profile performances. The latest additions to the lineup include Tina Turner, Kid Rock and former San Diego jazz piano prodigy Eldar.

Duets will be performed by, respectively: John Legend and Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie; Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban; and Herbie Hancock and Lang Lang (who will be accompanied by an orchestra conducted by John Mauceri). There will also be a “Cornerstones of Rock” segment that will team the pioneering Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis with former Creedence Clearwater Revival leader John Fogerty and his current band.

Other confirmed performers include Aretha Franklin, Beyoncé, Feist, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley and Album of the Year nominees the Foo Fighters, who will perform with a 20-piece orchestra conducted by Led Zeppelin bassist John Paul Jones.

Grammy Awards - February 10, 2008

Thursday February 7, 2008

Did you know that of the 112 annual Grammy Awards only 12 are announced during the big broadcast? That's sort of silly to me, but I don't want to sit through all 112 either. Now we have another option. This year on   www.grammy.com   we can watch the other awards online. The pre-awards show starts Saturday at 1 P.M. Pacific time. The televised awards air Sunday evening beginning at 5 P.M. Pacific. --Message edité par félix le 2008-02-10 17:02:34--

Oui je vais l'écouter s'il n'y a pas d'imprévues.

Je vais l'écouter moi aussi. Surtout pour Carrie, mais les autres prestations ont l'air intéressantes.
