Grammys: Katy Perry, Lorde, Stevie Wonder with Daft Punk, Robin Thicke with Chicago

Share

The Grammy Awards are coming–Sunday January 26th on CBS. They’ve just announced some performers– Katy Perry, Lorde, Robin Thicke in a mashup with Chicago (the group that can’t seem to get into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame). Daft Punk will perform “Get Lucky” with Nile Rodgers and Pharrell, and do something with the magnificent Stevie Wonder. That already seems like a show highlight! Another unusual pairing: Metallica, with classical pianist Lang Lang. More to come… I told you– Katy did appear on the AMA’s, but she didn’t sing her big hit, “Roar.” That’s what she’ll be doing on the Grammys. It’s funny: the Grammys gave a lot of noms to Sara Bareilles, whose “Brave” is very similar to “Roar.” That would be an interesting medley, for sure!
