Kanye West will perform twice during this Sunday's 57th Annual Grammy Awards® show -- once as a solo act and a second time with a couple of fairly well known collaborators -- Sir Paul McCartney and Rihanna, in a world-debut performance of Rihanna's new single, "FourFiveSeconds." This marks a return to the Grammy stage for the first time in six years for Kanye, a 21-time Grammy winner who is up for two awards this year -- Best Rap/Sung Collaboration and Best Rap Song for "Bound 2" with Charlie Wilson. Kanye joins a killer line-up that already includes performers AC/DC, Eric Church, Common with John Legend, Ariana Grande, Miranda Lambert, Madonna, Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith, Usher, and Pharrell Williams, and let's not forget the other creative performance collaborations announced between Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga; nominees Hozier & Annie Lennox; nominee Jessie J & the legendary Tom Jones; and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine with Gwen Stefani. L Cool J returns as your host.

The Grammy's
The Grammy Awards will be on television this coming weekend. The RAMP Newsletter, which always has it's fingers on the pulse of the Grammy Awards, has some more info about who is performing on the show this year. Spoiler alert--at least a few artists that I may watch.
