CONFIRMED: Frank Performing Forrest Gump At The Grammys
If you go to 1:22 you can hear the song perfectly in the background PLUS he is wearing the same yellow suit from the video shoot.

Something was wrong with the video playing behind the R&B singer Frank Ocean as he rehearsed this week for Sunday’s Grammy Awards. The video was projected on a screen behind Mr. Ocean and onto a three-sided box around the keyboard in front of him, creating the surreal illusion that he was running down a desert road while he sang. But the images were slightly out of sync with the recorded track over which Mr. Ocean vocalized: his torso and his legs didn’t quite line up. Rather than dreamy, the effect was disjointed.
“It doesn’t work,” one producer growled, as Mr. Ocean ambled offstage to look at a playback. Ken Ehrlich, the executive producer, who was in front of the video monitors as Mr. Ocean sat down, said calmly, “We’re about two-thirds of the way there.”
Over the next few minutes, Mr. Ehrlich had the keyboard moved over slightly, so that Mr. Ocean’s torso would line up with his legs, and sent his staff scurrying to find a way to synchronize the sound and the images. Then he went over the performance shot by shot with Mr. Ocean; when Mr. Ocean complained that his face was not visible, Mr. Ehrlich led him to the master control room to talk to the director, Louis J. Horvitz, about working in more close-ups and other angles.
As long as he also performs Thinkin' Bout You and Sweet Life then I'm good
Even though I am sick of Thinkin' Bout You, the song is so close to platinum that they might as well give it that extra push it needs, but Frank said that he wasn't going to do the song that the producers wanted him to do, they let him pick his own song choice.
Having watched that Coachella performance I think Forrest Gump can be easily transitioned into TBY at the end.
Hoping for that at least. He deserves more than 3 mins on stage.
I'm here for a full 10 mins of Pyramids ft John Mayer.
You know they are not going to let him do that for multiple reasons and I think it's better that he doesn't do Pyramids because it sounds so incomplete with him doing only one part.
Frank is taking such a huge risk with this performance.
Watch the video for Forrest Gump drop after the Grammys.
so ****ing excited for this
