More performers announced..
Radiohead, Paul McCartney, Justin Timberlake, T.I., Kanye West and Jay-Z will all perform at this year’s Grammys ceremony, the awards show revealed this morning. The biggest coup is the addition of Radiohead, who have never played the event despite Best Alternative Album wins for OK Computer and Kid A. The band is nominated for five awards this year, including Best Album for In Rainbows. The performance will be the band’s “first live U.S. television performance since 2000.”
McCartney’s Grammys performance is a bit of a surprise, considering the former Beatle was only nominated in a pair of smaller categories. We’re not complaining though, as the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl will join Macca onstage as his “special guest drummer.”
The conglomerate of Jay-Z, Kanye West and T.I. will perform their M.I.A.-infused, Best Rap Song-nominated single “Swagga Like Us.” The trio is up for a combined 16 awards, with West and Jigga scoring six nods and T.I. grabbing four. Additionally, T.I. will perform with Justin Timberlake on an unspecified song, but we’re guessing it’s maybe the Tip/Timberlake collaboration “If I” that leaked in December. Timberlake scored a Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals nomination after helping out Madonna on “4 Minutes.”
This star-studded slate of newly announced artists join an already stacked roster of performers at the 51st annual Grammy awards, including Coldplay, Jonas Brothers, Lil Wayne, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Katy Perry and Kenny Chesney.

Are they done with performers, or should we expect more? Cuz if this stays like it is, it will be hell of a boring. No P!nk, no Bee, no Brit.....should i go on?

They will announce more. And God, I don't see it entirely boring at all. There's a variety of artists for everybody. Just because the predictable females of ATRL are not announced yet doesn't make it boring.

I rather see M.I.A singing "Paper Planes" (which is nominated for Record Of The Year) instead of Jay-Z, Kanye & T.I singing that awful rip-off called “Swagga Like Us.”

I think T.I & J.T will probably perform "Dead And Gone".

Leona should definitely be there, but I won't be surprised if she doesn't perform because the Grammys snubbed her.

Yeah, a bit boring so far. But I'm sure Beyoncé will be announced as one of the performers soon.

Love Beyonce and I love seeing her perform Single Ladies, but Im glad she wont be their. She loves the spotlight on her and all the attention on her, and she needs to realize she isnt like THE singer in the world. She does have a EXTREMLY big Ego, which her not getting a nomination and performing will help her bring it down a notch :P

LMAO 
I love to read silly comments on Beyonce!
I kinda agree with you, I don't want Bee to perform this year...She will most like Kill next year with Nominations and Her Performance!
BTW: Bee did get a Nom!

Beyonce obviously won't stay at home.  She will probably do an Etta James/Tina Turner tribute along with her nominated six years old song, and of course a 15 mins Sasha medley. Oh God!
