Earlier Wednesday, it was announced that Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli will take the stage to sing Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" to fundraise for Haiti relief.

Beyonce, the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, the Dave Matthews Band and Taylor Swift -- who are all up for Album of the Year -- will also perform.

[louielouie2000]

Interesting... I wonder why now? :shrug:

And of course this has to happen the week AFTER I cancel my cable tv :rolleyes:.

[RockAlot]

WOW!!! This is friggin awesome!! And I recently got the DVR package! (sorry louie ;-( ):blob2:

[JohnL]

I am psyched. I wonder what she will perform. I wonder if it is a tribute to someone or something. I guess we will see. :blob2:

[Angel69]

Very Cool. She needs this kind of exposure!! I really hope she performs HAEWAFY.

[OldTimer]

At first I thought this was one of iamnotafraid's 'exclusives' :laugh: -- but this is real? Real? I wonder why, what song, and if it will make it to the telecast?

This is surprising but very cool!

Can I assume she'll show up on on the red carpet on Mr. Fleetwood's arm? ;)

[SandyMac]

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, :blob1::blob1::blob2::blob2:

Jumping up and down in pure joy!

[ShangriLaTroubl]

Maybe she's getting some kind of lifetime achievement award and that's why she's performing? Or she could be a guest performer with a newer artist or something?

[JohnL]

They are having a segment as a dedication to Haiti. I wonder if she will be involved with that.

[GypsyBlueEyes]

:blob1: :blob2:Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I'm so excited! :blob1: :blob2:

[ShangriLaTroubl]

They are having a segment as a dedication to Haiti. I wonder if she will be involved with that.

That's true, that's probably most likely what her performance is about...In that case I hope it's Has Anyone Ever Written...

[goldustsongbird]

I hope she sings Dreams or Rhiannon. We hardly hear those live anymore.

[ShangriLaTroubl]

I hope she sings Dreams or Rhiannon. We hardly hear those live anymore.

;) lol or LANDSLIDE, which is actually probably what she will do if it has anything to do with Haiti

[trackaghost]

I hope she sings Dreams or Rhiannon. We hardly hear those live anymore.

I hope so, I love it when she pulls out the rarities!

[nailatixela]

At first I thought this was one of iamnotafraid's 'exclusives' :laugh: -- but this is real? Real? I wonder why, what song, and if it will make it to the telecast?


That's exactly what I thought too!

But your telecast talk worries me. I never knew there were things that didn't make the final cut? If she is going to be there, we better get to see it! This is exciting! :woohoo:

[goldustsongbird]

;) lol or LANDSLIDE, which is actually probably what she will do if it has anything to do with Haiti

A little inappropriate, considering the circumstances. :laugh:

I hope so, I love it when she pulls out the rarities!

She should go out on a limb and sing Stand Back. 2010 is a new year, Stevie, it's time to shake things up a little!

[JohnL]

You people could ruin a wet dream. Frickin kill joys everywhere.

[EnchantedKiwi]

WOOOO :) So exciting!!!! GO STEVIE, I wonder what she'll wear on the red carpet!? :blob1::blob2:

[goldustsongbird]

You people could ruin a wet dream. Frickin kill joys everywhere.

You have us confused with Rev. Lovejoy.

I'm sure it means nothing, but I just don't like the way they worded it... "musical performance" -- will she perhaps play the piano? Or tambo? :lol:

In any event, this gives me reason to actually watch the Grammys this year.

And how is it a "surprise" if US Magazine is reporting it? lol

[JohnL]

I think you have yourself confused with someone who has comedic talents. :shrug:

[StreetAngel86]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEP

thanks Brook from informing me of this awesomeness
im so excited

i know it's too much to expect something NEW from her...
but a tribute or something........ :eek:

i hope this is fabulous

WOOOO :) So exciting!!!! GO STEVIE, I wonder what she'll wear on the red carpet!? :blob1::blob2:

Im gonna go out on a limb here and say ... something BLACK??????

[Fiver]

Maybe the surprise part of it is it'll be a duet with somebody?

Pretty psyched for this!

[Amlyn]

I wasn't even going to watch The Grammy's, but they just gained a viewer now!!

Maybe this will FINALLY inspire her to get some new material out there.

Wonder if Mick's involvement in this year's show lit a fire under to her get herself out there.

[jrpjr]

i think its good...not great as i'm sure she will just b singing landslide and/or stand back..(long yawn)...enough of these staples already...i will change the channel on the first note of either one of these overdone "musical performances." she has sooooo many OTHER good songs...go out on a limb stevie and sing something ALITTLE different...PLEASE...for the love of God

[vivfox]

Maybe the surprise part of it is it'll be a duet with somebody?

Pretty psyched for this!

Didn't I have a dream about her new song, a duet with Sheryl Crow?

[goldustsongbird]

I think you have yourself confused with someone who has comedic talents. :shrug:

You're a good judge of what's funny and what isn't. :laugh: Thank you for your opinion.

[trackaghost]

You're a good judge of what's funny and what isn't. :laugh: Thank you for your opinion.

I love it when someone with no sense of humour starts judging what is funny :laugh:

Anyway, I really am looking forward to seeing Stevie perform on the Grammys even if it's yet another rendition of Dreams, I just hope it's not.

[AliceLover]

I highly, highly, highly, highly (one more time), highly doubt that she will sing one of her own songs. I am sure she will be onstage with 5-10 other artists doing some kind of medley to support Haiti.

As for her wardrobe, I hope she goes with the all red dress and boots. I gauruntee it will be that dress, but if its red or black, I don't know.

Regardless, I am beyond tittilated about this!

This is true. She may get a line or two to sing solo if that's the case.

Something BLACK... OMG, that is so funny!!!! :laugh:
(you know you are a true fan when you can pick on your idols and still laugh your ass off at the same time). LOL. I enjoyed that. Thank you for making me laugh when I really needed it today.

[SandyMac]

This is true. She may get a line or two to sing solo if that's the case.


You might be right, but any broadcast air time for Stevie is great news, no matter if it is 15 sec, 30 sec. or a minute, it is still awesome news! Hoping for a whole song, but hey, this news definitely lifted my spirits today. :D

[RockALittle250]

I couldn't care less if she performs Stand Back, i'm just glad Stevie is doing something so...cool!! :nod: This is truly amazing, being that Stevie normally hates these kinds of things; i'm glad she's getting herself out there and will show the younger artists how the Queen of Rock does it! This was completely unexpected!

[joe68]

This is outstanding news! But if "Landslide" is inappropriate, I guess "Crash" is completely out of the question!

[RockALittle250]

This is outstanding news! But if "Landslide" is inappropriate, I guess "Crash" is completely out of the question!

Well, Dave Matthews is also scheduled to perform, so maybe Stevie will finally get her wish, and perform it with Dave.

[michelej1]

Wonder if Mick's involvement in this year's show lit a fire under to her get herself out there.

Yeah, I was half expecting her to show up at the House of Blues performance, but I didn't even consider the Grammys a possibility.

Michele

[equeen102289]

If she is participating in the Haiti relief performance, then I hope she pulls out a rarity like Touched by an Angel.

If she's doing the MJ tribute, I personally would love to hear her sing You Are Not Alone. Using her upper register voice, this could be beautiful.

God help me if she sings Landslide, Stand Back, or Dreams.

[RockALittle250]

God help me if she sings Landslide, Stand Back, or Dreams.

I don't know why people care about what she sings. To be honest, most of the industry would be disappointed if she didn't sing a classic, just like they would be disappointed if Aretha Franklin didn't sing Respect. It's about a general audience, not hard core fans like us.

Why do I care about what she sings? I care because millions of other people will be watching this show and when they hear her sing a well known song such as Stand Back, the first thing that will come to their minds is, God, her voice has gone to hell.

I would prefer to have her sing a song that people aren't familiar with, or that her signature 70's/80's voice is not attached to, so I don't sit cringing on my couch.

But that's just my personal opinion. You don't have to agree or understand.

I swear I was thinking about you today. Wondering where you've been and how come you haven't posted in a while. Welcome back.

[gldstwmn]

Hmmm...Dave Matthews is performing. Could we see/hear Crash?

I understand where you are coming from, and feel the same way actually, i am just not expecting her to sing anything different if she does sing one of her own songs, because that's the way it's always been. She will most likely sing Landslide, due to the Haiti situation, but either way, i don't like to get my hopes up too high for something like this, because if she does sing Touched By An Angel or something completely out of left field, then that will be a complete surprise! Setting yourself up for disappointment is never a good idea, but i hope i'm wrong.

[RockALittle250]

Why thank you!

Now that may be in the realm of possibility!

[iamnotafraid]

At first I thought this was one of iamnotafraid's 'exclusives' :laugh: -- but this is real?

Huh?

What are you all trying to say?

[WildHeart69]

I would put money down for her being part of the Michael Jackson tribute as part of some cavalcade of stars chorus line... but, hey, I will take anything I can get!!!

and the best part of that is it will be in :eek:3D!!!:eek: so everyone find a pair of glasses somewhere

[daniellaaarisen]

ae;fkhjalhkaehlkjaklj!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

enough said.

[Edgeof27]

I wonder who will be there with Stevie;

Waddy, Carlos, Lenny, Jimmy, Sharon, Jana, Lori...., or,

Mr Buckingham, Sharon, Jana, Lori....., or,

Sharon, Jana, Lori.....or,

[Sanne2]

Wow this is great!
However, I seriously doubt she is going to do one of her own songs, it's more likely she'll be on stage with a bunch of other people to do some kind of tribute.

[fringed n fab]

Are the Grammy's pre-taped or live? I assumed they were pre-taped already... or maybe I'm thinking of some other awards shows.

[wildheart048]

How exciting! I can't wait to see what she will perform!:angel:

[Lexi]

I hope they show the Grammy's on Australian TV !

[RockALittle250]

It is being reported that Elton John and Lady Gaga are planning a surprise performance together, so if that's the case, Stevie may also be performing with a younger artist like someone else suggested. Maybe Stevie and Taylor Swift?

[Enchanted_Stevi]

SOOOO excited for this!! I just wish she...
1) Doesnt back down
2) Doesnt perform boring stuff
3) Kicks it outta the park

[AliceLover]

Oh gawwwd me too! Especially since I am going to be watching the show with all of my college friends! I already told most of them to be nice and not judge harshly! haha! Im sure she will knock it outta the park!

[louielouie2000]

Now THAT I would love to see! I just heard another song the other day where Taylor was singing backup for another artist... and it was very Stevie-esque.

I think it is a given Stevie will be a part of some sort of collaborative effort on stage for the grammies... she won't just be up there alone.

[MacMan]

It is being reported that Elton John and Lady Gaga are planning a surprise performance together, so if that's the case, Stevie may also be performing with a younger artist like someone else suggested. Maybe Stevie and Taylor Swift?

Yeah, I bet they are going to do something like that... They put unlikely pairs together last year and it turned out well.

[Enchanted_Stevi]

Oh gawwwd me too! Especially since I am going to be watching the show with all of my college friends! I already told most of them to be nice and not judge harshly! haha! Im sure she will knock it outta the park!

I'll probably be watching it with my girlfriend and her parents and sister. They know how much I love Stevie and they BETTER KNOW BETTER than make fun of her! Even if she sucked I'd still say she did AWESOME cause its true...lol

I hope your friends dont judge her too bad!!! eek!

[SuiteShangriLa]

Are the Grammy's pre-taped or live? I assumed they were pre-taped already... or maybe I'm thinking of some other awards shows.

the grammys will be live from 8-1130 and according to the website Mick will be presenting, and his nomination category will be on the pre telecast portion of the show starting at 1pm et. live stream on the grammy website and youtube.

But that's just my personal opinion. You don't have to agree or understand.

Actually, everytime I play a post-1986 live version of "Stand Back" for a casual fan or a non-fan, they all pretty consistently say the same thing to me... "Doesn't she remember how her own song goes?... This doesn't sound anything like the song when they used to play it on the radio. " It's not only due to the lyric changes, but also because the melody of the words is almost completely different than on the album version.

I think Mick is presenting on the pre-telecast only.

[Phoenix]

Hmmm...Dave Matthews is performing. Could we see/hear Crash?

Im hoping thats not it, but It will most probably be that or The "one in a crowd of many" ( they are supposedly re-doing "We are the world" (cringe) or hopefuly, something with a cool younger artist. I am still holding out for a Stevie/Pink song someday. But Taylor Swift will do. But no no matter what it is IM SO EXCITED GO STEVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We should all comment on the Us weekly page, that way they know how much interest Stevie can still stir up!!

I just posted a comment on there website re: The Queen of Rock N Roll!!

[Lee]

I thought this was a joke thread at first. That's really cool. I'll have to record it if she doesn't come on before I go to bed because I can never stay up & watch them all. I imagine she'll do a slow, classic song. :blob2::blob1:

Lee :)

[gypsy4life]

OMG!!!!!!!! SO Excited!!!

I don't care what she sings, I just can't wait to see it!!

Regardless, I am beyond tittilated about this!

I'm thinking you're right about the burgundy dress...she seems to feel "safe" in that outfit. It would be cool if she broke out something new or something she hasn't worn ten million times in the past two years; however, I'm very excited she's going to be on the broadcast!! I hope she gets a decent amount of air time.

[belladonnadream]

Very cool......she deserves to be in the limelight in the music world!

idea!--the white Rhiannon ccape from her old HBO special...altered slightly.:nod:

[joe68]

Remember in 1998 when Fleetwood Mac performed? Stevie looked amazing that night wearing the black 'Rhainnon' cape.

[GypsyBlueEyes]

I'm probably going to be in the minority on this but I'd really like to see her wear something like what she wore backstage at the Blockbuster awards. I really liked that. If she just has to wear a dress, I'd prefer it to be like something she wore for SS. I don't know...I think I'm just really over all the stuff she wore on the Unleashed Tour :shrug:

[ButterCookie]

GAHHH!! How can I see the grammys on UK TV?! (I'd go check my didgibox, but I'm in bed and can't be bothered. It's easier to ask)

I hope she does do a solo song, and I don't care which (But anything off Bella Donna would be amaaaaaazing, IMO). I'd be a little dissapointed if she were to sing with a group of people, but any airtime is better than none! :D

Someone from the UK posted that on my facebook that it will be broadcast on itv2 on Wednesday. I think I also heard somewhere that it will be available on youtube but I'm not sure what the story is behind that

**** yeah, I'm over it too.

I think it does have to be a dress though. I mean, c'mon.

[APerfectLie]

I don't know why, but I think she will wear something new. I mean it will be something VERY Stevie Nicks and probably black or red, or she may even pull out something white since its been forever since she has worn all white! But I don't think she will wear something she wore on Unleashed. But I bet the boots will be back :]

Agreed... she usually pulls out completely new (albeit familiar) outfits for awards shows. I'm guessing she'll wear some form of a dark color since she'll be on international tv.

[goldustsongbird]

She probably won't but the pantsuit she wore to the Soundstage party? Would be nice to see again.

[louielouie2000]

She probably won't but the pantsuit she wore to the Soundstage party? Would be nice to see again.

I was thinking she'd wear something like that if she did a duo with a younger star such as Pink or somebody of that ilk.

[APerfectLie]

She probably won't but the pantsuit she wore to the Soundstage party? Would be nice to see again.

I was thinking the same thing. And I was also thinking about the outfit she wore in the 60 minutes interview, in this video:

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/g3M21qrlFxI&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/g3M21qrlFxI&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I think she looks amazing in it! But I think it wouldn't fly as a performance outfit.

Sure it could! I guess it wouldn't be the signature Stevie outfit, but I think she would look nice.

[silvasprings]

Not that i have anything serious about the Unleashed outfits, they were ok, but i really hope whatever she wears has a proper hankercheif type skirty thing...

because those short dresses from the unleashed tour make her look alot larger than she really is...

i don't know about anyone else out there but i think that on film stevie looks larger than she really is, when i saw the mac in dec she looked thinner compared to some of the live footage i'd watched from the tour but that could also be because of the angle from which most videos were taken:confused:

Anyhow, it's amazing that she's even getting this kind of exposure, so i hope she really goes all out....:D

[SNicksed]

Why don't I see her being acknowledged on the grammy website yet or am I missing something? :shrug:

[louielouie2000]

The US Weekly listed her as a "surprise performance."

[Lexi]

Are there any other Australians on this forum? If so.. have you heard anything about when and if the Grammy's will be telecast over here?

YouTube a few days after Sunday might be my best bet..

Oh yeah. Thanks. I hope this really happens. :]

WOW - I'm glad you posted this video cuz I had NO IDEA about this "Dont Stop" documentary!! I hadn't checked The Ledge in awhile and tonight I did and found this gold mine. Thank You!

I figured Stevie might have gone to the Grammys this year, but only as Mick's date. Finding out she's performing is awesome!! Hopefully she's not too nervous and just belts out whatever she plans to sing with no reservations! :thumbsup:

[SNicksed]

I was watching some of the other ones scrolling at the bottom of that video and came across this 4 part interview from Rock a Little. I've never seen it before. Apparently she finished a book called "The Wild Heart" and there's a painting of Sister Honey. Really good interview... and she is smokin' hot! lol :lol:

:wavey:

One over here!

Apparently Foxtel will screen the awards live on Monday, Feb 1 from 12 midday on Arena (stupid work commitments). There will then be a repeat at 8.30pm (stupid house with no Foxtel).

Channel 10 used to do a delayed telecast, but I can't find any mention of that, and given the Foxtel repeat, perhaps that's the only place we get it.

Which is a shame, because this really is exciting stuff. I love good Stevie/Mac exposure :nod:

And by the way, welcome to The Ledge!

Ohh, how annoying! I don't have Foxtel! I think I will be scouring YouTube..

And, thanks so much! :)

Dont worry Lexi. Im sure it will show up on YouTube either Sunday night or definitely by Monday. :angel::nod:

[Lexi]

I hope so, I'm so excited to see it.

And this may or may not be wishful thinking but I really want Fleetwood Mac/Stevie to do another Australian tour, pronto! (Preferably in 1-2 months, ha ha)

[Drummergrl]

This is great news. I haven't watched the Grammys in some time, but I will this year. Stevie performing, definitely makes it worth watching. :) Thanks for the news!

[bellagypsy79]

I am indeed excited to watch this performance, but I wonder why she's performing? Tribute to someone, or is she getting some special award? I guess we'll just have to wait and see.:shrug: Wouldn't it be funny to see Lady Gaga and Stevie sing together?! LOL! But hey you never know. I happen to like "the Gaga". She's got her own special style just like Stevie does. That's what makes them so cool and unique.

well now that you mention it, I can totally see Stevie singing with Lady Gaga, a slower number with Gaga at the piano. I think their voices could really work together, with the right song. Not sure if Stevie would be up for it but it sure as hell would be a more memorable "unique pairing" that The Grammy's have been known for in the past.

[louielouie2000]

I'm guessing she'll either be a part of the Michael Jackson tribute, or an all-star Haiti tribute. She won't be performing an entire song by herself... my guess is she'll be a part of a medley; be a part of a group performance; or do a duo with a younger artist. As much as I don't care for the Gaga, I could see her requesting Stevie for a duo... just to be crazy and off the wall.

[joe68]

I cant see Stevie doing a duet with a woman. If Lady Ga Ga is already performing with surprise guest Elton John, i think Stevie will be dueting with a man, maybe Dave Matthews or someone that has not been announced yet.

All in all, very exciting!!!!!

[TrueFaith77]

Y'all don't think we might actually get a new song!?!? Maybe one of her topical songs a la the Katrina song?

[Livia]

Waddy will be playing - email I got this morning:

I know we’re all disappointed that the Waddy Wachtel Band won’t be at The Joint this Monday night, February 1, but check this out........

Waddy Wachtel will be performing with Stevie Nicks in a special guest spot at the Grammy’s Sunday night, January 31, 2010.

Well that suggests a number all to herself or at least based on one of her songs, no?

ETA: though i wish it were lindsey performing with Stevie. . . :(

[WildHeart69]

^Well if Waddy is going to be there, then that kind of sways me to think she will be doing a full performance/duet....

but then again, Waddy is a real go-to guy for session playing/house band kinda stuff, so maybe he is putting together the MJ tribute and thats how stevie got on board... we will just have to wait and see

[RockAlot]

K..... So I'm listening to 95.5 KLOS a popular rock station in So. Calif. The DJ says something about Mick being a presenter at the Grammy's and then says and Stevie Nicks will be performing with so and so!!! Damm it I didn't hear who she said!!! They then went into The Chain...

Stevie could totally do the "Mah-mah-mah poker face, mah-mah poker face" part!

[AliceLover]

I hope she does Crash with Dave Matthews. That would be kick ass!

I just emailed Perez because I didn't see anything on his website!!

[carrie721]

A little inappropriate, considering the circumstances. :laugh:

i guess that means thrown down is out.

[AgeOldDesire]

I hope she does Crash with Dave Matthews. That would be kick ass!

I heard Dave was performing with Neil Young. So if that's true, then Crash with Stevie is out.

[wheart]

I heard Dave was performing with Neil Young. So if that's true, then Crash with Stevie is out.

unless they do it as a trio...Stevie could make sure Neil Young doesn't fall down. He looked pretty shaky on the Haiti fundraiser.

that's what my mom said. I don't think she knew who he was so she commented that "the old guy" was funny. He sounded pretty good, though!

Artists Gear Up For 'music's Biggest Night' -- The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards
Fri, 2010-01-29 13:37.
By: Lauren Moraski

Music artists have started touching down in Los Angeles, as the countdown begins for the 52nd annual Grammy Awards. On Sunday (January 31st), the Recording Academy will host what's billed as "Music's Biggest Night" at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The Grammys will broadcast live starting at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

Beyonce leads the pack this year with ten nominations. Country star Taylor Swift is up for eight, while the Black Eyed Peas, Maxwell and Kanye West have six nods apiece. DJ David Guetta, Jay-Z, and Lady Gaga have five nominations each; and Colbie Caillat, Michael Giacchino, Kings Of Leon, John Newton, producer RedOne, Bruce Springsteen, T-Pain, and Keith Urban each have four nominations.

Performers will include all five Album of the Year nominees -- Beyonce, the Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga, Dave Matthews Band and Swift, as well as Bon Jovi, Green Day, Lady Antebellum, Stevie Nicks, Maxwell, Pink and the Zac Brown Band.

The show will also feature a 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson featuring Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Carrie Underwood and Usher. Special 3-D glasses for the Jackson performance will be available at Target stores through Sunday.

Presenters will include: Stephen Colbert, Alice Cooper, Sheryl Crow, Wyclef Jean, Miranda Lambert, John Legend, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Seal, Quentin Tarantino, Placido Domingo, Juanes, Glee actress Lea Michelle, Lionel Richie, Keith Urban, Simon Baker, Ryan Seacrest, Chris O'Donnell, Robert Downey Jr., Kaley Cuoco, Kristen Bell, Justin Bieber, Jeff Bridges, Miley Cyrus, Josh Duhamel, the Jonas Brothers, Mick Fleetwood, Norah Jones, Ke$ha, LL Cool J, Ricky Martin, Carlos Santana and Ringo Starr.

Mary J. Blige will sing a duet with tenor Andrea Bocelli on Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" -- as part of a fundraiser for Haiti earthquake relief.

Eminem, Drake, Lil Wayne and Travis Barker will team up for a special performance of Drake's single, "Forever."

Jamie Foxx will do a special segment with T-Pain, Slash and Doug E. Fresh.

According to the New York Post, Lady Gaga will do a duet with Elton John.

The circus-themed Grammy Celebration after-party will feature performances from Ne-Yo, Sam Moore and mixtape DJ Mick Boogie.

So she's not part of the MJ tribute. She's not part of the Haiti segment. She's not part of the Jamie Foxx segment. She's not part of the Elton/Gaga segment. Basically she's doing the same thing as:

-Lady Antebellum: whose new album is about to debute at #1 on the Hot 100.
-Green Day: who received nominations for the single "21 Guns."
-Maxwell: who was nominated for a ****load of Grammy's for his 2009 album.
-Pink: who has a couple of nominations for her Funhouse album
-Zac Brown Band: who was nominated for a ****load of Grammy's as well.
-Bon Jovi: who recently released a new album.

...and then there is...

-Stevie Nicks: nothing new to promote, no nominations.

This is truly puzzling. It's not like the Grammy's are going begging for performers; I am sure there are tons of artists who would kill for a performing slot and all of that exposure. The fact that Waddy will be there too means that she is not likely to be performing with another band. So by process of elimination, she is either doing a solo song, or she's doing something with Beyowulf, Taylor Swift, Pink or Maxwell.

The suspense is killing me!

^^^ When you put it that way it's just plain weird that she is performing, she has basically no reason to be there.
I'm really, really curious.

Several people have posted Stevie-related comments on an article on huffingtonpost.com about the Grammys, even though the article doesn't mention her. Here's the link if anyone's interested: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/david-wild/backstage-view-11-reasons_b_440630.html

Apparently the author has some sort of inside connection to the Grammys...

I posted the following comment:

"The ONLY reason I will be watching the Grammys is to see Stevie Nicks. I'm 20 years old and couldn't care less about artists like Lady Gaga or the Black Eyed Peas. I do listen to new music and I do have several songs by performers like Lady Gaga or the Black Eyed Peas on my ipod, but I don't consider their work to be great musical achievements. But I will suffer through all of that to see Stevie Nicks show the world that she still has it!"

and he responded with the frustratingly vague:
"You will be happy you watched"

!! I am very very very curious!

[APerfectLie]

Stevie doesn't need a reason to be there, SHE IS STEVIE ****ING NICKS! She doesn't need to promote anything to rock the grammys! :] But who knows, maybe during 2009 she made an album secretly and is going to the grammys to announce it and perform what is soon to be her new hit single!! Bahaha, one can dream.

[AliceLover]

Too friggin cool. What I would love to happen:

The guitar riff of Edge of Seventeen starts and Stevie enters in white outfit. Then sings the first verse and chorus, then all sorts of other artists come out to sing verses.

[APerfectLie]

:thumbsup: I Knew I Liked You.:thumbsup:

Haha thanks! But I would so cream my pants if they performed together.

Interesting that the author commented about Stevie several times to various posts.
This is certainly piquing my interest even more. I wish there was some more media buzz about it, but then again it might be nice to see whatever the surprise is unfold before our eyes. A little mystery is always good.

Agreed. WTF is this all about?

[firefly15]

Agreed. WTF is this all about?

From everything I've heard so far, my guess is that Stevie will be doing either a duet with someone or a short solo performance. Probably a duet, since she doesn't have anything new out herself. But here's something I've wondered about since I first heard that Stevie was performing on the Grammys - why ask Stevie, and not all of Fleetwood Mac? Although FM doesn't have anything new either, they have just finished a world tour! Plus, with all of the rumors flying around about a new album this year, to me it would make more sense for all of Fleetwood Mac to perform, rather than just Stevie. Unless Stevie is getting some kind of award, but I think we would have heard about that... It's puzzling.

[wheart]

I can't help but wonder if the Sunday performance has something to do with her recent studio time with Peter Asher. I know this is probably wishful thinking but perhaps the infamous New Orleans song may finally see the light of the day. It may have taken on new meaning for Stevie in light of the Haiti tragedy. This is assuming that the song was pretty much already complete before the quake hit. Or perhaps the tragedy really affected Stevie and motivated her to finally finish and/or transform the song. I'm babbling... she's probably just gonna sing Dreams and be done with it!!:laugh::laugh::laugh:

[HejiraNYC]

My theory is that Stevie is laying the groundwork for a major solo comeback, and these award shows have a tendency to be the incubators for comebacks. There really is no other reason. She is not a particularly public person or some kind of a fame whore, so she really does things like this only when she has to. Considering that half of Fleetwood Mac is there, yet there is no FM reunion, is pretty glaring to me- this is not about the band at all. She's focusing on brand "Nicks" for the foreseeable future. I suspect that the past year has completely transformed her views about music- between the world tour, the CD signing, the PS22 choir, as well as the confluence of world events and the plethora of subject matter to write about, I think she has finally decided that the time is right for more music. There is more sand in the bottom half of the hourglass than in the top half, so one must do what one must do.

I just thought of something even wackier- that she should perform "Beautiful Child." Not only is it superficially relevant to the plight of Haiti (orphans), the song royalties were already assigned to UNICEF long ago. I suspect that all of the musical performances for the night will be available for download on iTunes.

[Angel69]

Stevie doesn't need a reason to be there, SHE IS STEVIE ****ING NICKS! She doesn't need to promote anything to rock the grammys! :]

I thought the same thing!

[Meowi]

Are there any other Australians on this forum? If so.. have you heard anything about when and if the Grammy's will be telecast over here?

YouTube a few days after Sunday might be my best bet..

Hey Lexi, I am from Melbourne
As of yet, I understand the Grammy's will be shown on Foxtel, Tuesday Morning. I am not sure about normal TV though.

[Meowi]

I was thinking the same thing. Not only can she dedicate it to people of New Orleans, but also to the people in Haiti. She kind of did that when she did Landslide on the Today Show a while back right? She said it took on new meaning after Katrina. Or am I just remembering wrong?

I hope it is something good. Maybe she will sing with Taylor Swift since Taylor is a fan. I figure even if it is the same old same old (Stand Back or Landslide) at least she is out there still rocking

Taylor isn't fit to share the stage with Stevie and I mean that in the least chiffonhead-y way possible. Can't stand that chick.

[louielouie2000]

I actually really like this idea! I just hope Stevie's voice has rebounded some since the end of the tour. She sounded pretty bad in those last New Zealand shows.

[Jondalar]

Stevie is singing Rhiannon with Taylor Swift in the Flashback segment of the grammys. They are rehearsing now. I guess Stevie is one of Taylor's Idol. On her MySpace she is listening to Timespace.

[EnchantedKiwi]

I actually really like this idea! I just hope Stevie's voice has rebounded some since the end of the tour. She sounded pretty bad in those last New Zealand shows.

She sounded awesome when I was in Sydney, I think the crap audio setup in the bowl had something to do with her performance in NZ.

I just hope Taylor doesn't dress like Stevie for the performance :p That would be weird

[goldustsongbird]

:laugh: I feel the same way. But you should be happy that you guessed it would be Rhiannon :D

High fives for both of us, 'cause you called it too!

[HejiraNYC]

Well, at least we don't have to worry about Stevie being blown out of the water by a more technically gifted singer. :rolleyes: If anything, I think Taylor had better step up her game.

[Fiver]

I love Waddy an'all, but I'm super disappointed it ain't gonna be Lindsey providing his signature licks for Rhiannon. It's a Fleetwood Mac song anyway.. :(

Guess they thought that'd steal the spotlight from Stevie? Not really sure who I think 'they' is..

[CADreaming]

Say a prayer this is done in Buckingham tempo....

[GypsyBlueEyes]

I agree about Waddy. Lindsey should do it instead.

:laugh: I feel the same way. But you should be happy that you guessed it would be Rhiannon :D

i love you sharon.

maybe it's the dumb f*cking hick/latent 15 year old girl in me, but i actually like taylor, despite the fact that she has zero stage presence and can't sing for sh*t live.

picture it: los angeles, 2010 ... a young peasant girl drives a pickup truck through south central while blasting "you belong with me." ok, it's a short story, but you get the picture. :lol:

[tilthefirefades]

oh no, i personally cannot stand Taylor Swift. :distress:

but this exposure may convince her to move on to a new record, hopefully with FM. Plus, i really don't want people to all of a sudden think that Stevie is "cool" to like. but once more that could create a catalyst for something new :D

[Nathan]

Rhiannon could be just in a rehearsal. They may keep the song a surprise.

...Or they may not.

This Taylor Swift thing is a slippery slope. And the Fearless record really is one of my favorites, I love Taylor Swift. I don't think Stevie would be involved if it were cheesy.

And of course she's going to look fantastic.

[Nathan]

I just cringe to think of Stevie singing Love Story. They could duet White Horse... Cheesy though, I don;t know.

[Nathan]

And I was just listening to this, and at the very end, she says that evidently the grammy;s like to mix it up with veteran artists and non.

Do watch.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnqW3-UCIt8&NR=1

I would love for them to duet on Love Story. :shrug::o

[RockALittle250]

I'm hoping it will be a medley of like Rhiannon/You Belong with Me/Sara/Love Story. Would be pretty sweet. I just think the Nicks/Swift pairing is perfect. It reminds me of the Beyonce/Tina Turner pairing a few years ago. People were raving about their performance.

[Nathan]

Oh dear God, that is 9 minutes of dribble I will never get back in my life! :rolleyes:

I loved it! :lol:

According to the New York Post, Lady Gaga will do a duet with Elton John.

The circus-themed Grammy Celebration after-party will feature performances from Ne-Yo, Sam Moore and mixtape DJ Mick Boogie.

GRAMMY SOUND FROM BLACK EYED PEAS AND COLBIE CAILLAT

Will.i.Am tells us he's happy about the Grammy nominations and can't believe how well the latest Black Eyed Peas album, The E.N.D., has done: "We're just blessed to have six nominations. And how crazy The E.N.D. has performed. We've done big things with this. We haven't sold as much as we did on Monkey Business, but the things that we've done with The E.N.D. have surpassed Monkey Business ten-fold. You know, 27 weeks, Number One, the Oprah flash mob thing, the Direct TV spot, the Super Bowl kick-off, the Grammys, the AMAs. It's just crazy stuff."

Colbie Caillat is up for two nominations in the Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals category, including "Lucky" with Jason Mraz and "Breathe" with Taylor Swift. We asked her which song she'd rather seen win: "Oh, it's tough because I love both the songs so much, I don't know which one I'd want to win. I love Jason and Taylor. So whichever one, I think, well of course I'll just be excited."

Colbie Caillat tells us that she's taking her producer father as her date to the Grammys: "Well, my Dad he produced my last record, Breakthrough. He produced most of it. And my Dad has a Grammy from thirty years ago with Fleetwood Mac and he's the one who inspired me to become a musician and a songwriter. So he's the appropriate match to be my date. He deserves it."

Colbie Caillat tells us what she'll be wearing to the Grammys: "Bashley Mishka is designing the dress, and I got to help them custom make it -- material, cut, color, everything. So I'm really excited."

Gold Derby nuggets: Taylor Swift odds-on favorite at Grammys | Beyonce could be Grammys spoiler | Oscars shorts get longer exposure
January 29, 2010 | 3:56 pm
• James Montgomery previews Sunday's Grammys and reports that the betting world is touting Taylor Swift as the favorite to win. "Nick Weinberg, Ladbrokes' chief sports, politics and novelty oddsmaker, says, 'Beyoncé's odds are probably a bit shorter than they should be. Because she's a name, she can release a terrible album, and it would be nominated for an award. But Taylor Swift is the selection. All things being equal, she should win it. Quite an impressive record, which is why we made it our favorite.'" And Bodog.com sportsbook manager Richard Gardner agrees, "This Year's Grammy Awards could be a clean sweep in the three main categories as Taylor Swift is the favorite to win Best Album, Record and Song of the Year." MTV

Rhiannon with Taylor Swift. This could be awesome. Will give some of those little girls some exposure to what real music is. lol

[silversprings62]

I am beyond excited!!!!!!!!!!!

[vermicious knid]

It is heartening to me how many young female singers want to emulate her. Michelle Branch, Vanessa Carlton, and Taylor Swift off the top of my head. Plus it seems like there is always some new article with some obscure indie waif who cites Stevie.

[mikebise]

Two days ago on FaceBook I predicted it would be Stevie with TS!

BTW, a Stevie Nicks song is a Stevie Nicks song, no matter her backing musicians.

Greetings from The GRAMMYs!

@kerriebrynn in front of the GRAMMY Charities - MusiCares & GRAMMY Foundation.

Hey everyone! I just got back from day one of the GRAMMYs and had an amazing time. If you’re following me on Twitter (which you better be!) you can see that I’ve been overusing “omg!” and “wow!” like none other. But hey, I’ve got a reason to be excited. I’ve got full access to the GRAMMYs!

I got to hang out with the lovely ladies that volunteer for the GRAMMY Charities, and together we wrangled the celebs as they came through for signatures for the GRAMMY Charities’ Online Auction. Today, we a lot of well known names in music come through — Green Day, Fergie, Lil Wayne, Fleetwood Mac, Andre Bocelli, and more! Can you believe that? And the coolest part is that none of the musicians were snobby or annoyed with any of it, most of them actually take the time to really make the signature special with a cool doodle or a nice sentence or two. They recognize the importance of supporting these two great causes, and its very refreshing to see first hand!

Keep up with me and give me witty comments on what I should say to the celebs, I’ll be posting throughout the weekend with more fun stuff from The GRAMMYS!

[Aussie W/Heart]

I'm so excited, & this is such a out there move from Stevie, I really do hope that this awesome exposure will put some pressure on her & the recording company to finally create some new material in the near future, like NOW would be good!!!!! she would be crazy not to strike while the iron's hot, 09 Unleashed tour, Grammy Awards, next should be a new album = solo concert, maybe that's asking for too much:shrug:

[Lexi]

I've never wanted to be Taylor Swift more in my life. Ha ha.

I want to meet Stevie, badly.

[vivfox]

I want to meet Stevie, badly.

Be careful what you wish for cause you just might get it.

Grammy rehearsals, day two: Taylor Swift, Dave Matthews, Maxwell, Green Day, and Black Eyed Peas
by Whitney Pastorek
Categories: Black Eyed Peas, Dave Matthews Band, Fleetwood Mac, Grammys, Green Day, Maxwell, Taylor Swift
Welcome back to the Staples Center in downtown Los Angeles—across the street from the L.A. Live complex, which, as one tourist helpfully exclaimed while I was getting my coffee, is “totally like the Times Square of L.A.!”—for day two of Grammy rehearsals. (Read about day one here.) No press releases about new performers came out, but if Friday’s roster of stars doesn’t make you want to watch the show, you are never going to watch the show. After the jump: Dave Matthews Band, Maxwell, Green Day (with the cast of American Idiot), Black Eyed Peas, and Taylor Swift.

I have not purchased a Dave Matthews Band album since Crash, but the driving rendition of “You and Me” he’s doing on the telecast has persuaded me to go out and get Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King. “My idea!” he enthusiastically crowed about the arrangement, a USC Marching Band-sized effort with a killer breakdown that showcased 1) Matthews’ oddly Pee-wee Herman-esque dance moves and 2) the Grammy Jazz Ensembles’ eight-piece horn section, made up of high school students from around the country. “They’re badass, aren’t they?” said Matthews after his run-through. “They’re outrageous players, and they’ve obviously put a lot of time and work into getting where they are. They’re so precise, so it’s a great experience for me.”

700-plus kids auditioned for the ensemble, and these lucky few are getting the musical week of their lives. I asked what the opportunity means for their future careers. “This really solidifies your chances to get into a great music school on a scholarship,” 18-year-old Matt Chalk explained. “And once you get into a good music school…” “…Sky’s the limit,” finished 17-year-old Dahi Divine. They got to play with Neil Young at last night’s MusiCares benefit, too. It is not an exaggeration to say their eyes were the size of metaphorical saucers. Dream big, Child-Sized Mixers! You never know what can happen. Matthews’ advice to up-and-comers? “Work, work, work at what you love. That’s all I’ve figured out.”

Matthews is also thrilled about DMB’s Album of the Year nom, though he’s not in it for the affirmation. “I think this is the best record the band has ever made, so it’s icing,” he said. “It’s cherry to be here. But it’s not going to change how I feel about the record.” (Number of references to Grammys as icing made to me by nominees this week: two and counting.) Since this year’s album race features a rather motley crew of competitors, I thought I’d ask him which of his fellow nominees he liked best. “I like Lady Gaga,” he told me. “She f—in’ rocks. Somebody said, ‘You’re the only rock band in there,’ and I was like, ‘Have you watched Lady Gaga?’” I made the mistake of asking if Matthews was planning to use a disco stick in future performances. “I’m wearing a disco stick right now,” he said. “On the inside.”

What a splendid/slightly uncomfortable transition into the silky, sexy sounds of Maxwell! This man’s voice is so seductive, his groove so smooth, it could strip the turtleneck off Diane Keaton. The six-time nominee materialized with his dark sunglasses and light falsetto to run through a combo of “Pretty Wings” (up for Song of the Year) and “Where is the Love” (not the Black Eyed Peas song), the latter alongside special guest star Ms. Roberta Flack. Loved watching Maxwell’s suave body language turn boyish and playful as he sang the Donny Hathaway part face to face with the R&B icon, and when they finished their first pass at the song, he grabbed her in a bear hug, then raised both arms in victory. (Fun fact: Did you know that Maxwell can be described by more adjectives starting with the letter S than any other performer on this year’s Grammy bill?)

When the cast of the forthcoming American Idiot musical took the stage with Green Day for “21 Guns,” it occurred to me that Dave Matthews really could have tried harder to get more people into his number. The Broadway-ization of this song is a little bizarre—there was a time when Dookie lived in my Discman, and I can’t say I ever envisioned this future—but I feel like the actors’ legit voices blend quite nicely with Billie Joe’s punk rasp. Then again, I liked Rent. You can get a little sonic preview of the number if you click through to the band’s site, where it’s streaming upon arrival; also, fans of Full House and the “2 Legit 2 Quit” video should get ready to learn exciting new hand gestures on Sunday’s show!

I lost my earplugs coming back from lunch, which was especially unfortunate given that the next band up was the Black Eyed Peas, a group that does not so much run a sound check as they do a systems test. Rhythmic blasts burst forth from keyboards and Pro Tools rigs. Strobe lights flashed. Some dancers dressed up as speaker-shaped robot transformers marked their moves. And then, like the collect-em-all Happy Meal figures they’ve become, the Peas leapt onto the stage via some sort of hydraulic piston system. The performance starts with “Imma Be,” but never fear—the Peas also have a feeling that Grammy night is gonna be a good night. That monster hit will be accompanied by YouTube clips courtesy of Time Magazine’s 2006 Person of the Year: You. Oh, millions of Americans—thank god you are never afraid to get retarded. (What? It’s a song lyric, people; look it up.)

And finally, Friday brought the chance to see Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks collaborate in one of those moments the Grammys are known for. Swift — who has a very good shot at sweeping this year’s major categories, in my opinion — doesn’t wear her Fleetwood Mac fandom on her sleeve as a songwriter, but it is apparently there, for after running through her current single, “Today Was a Fairytale,” she used her very most dramatic voice to introduce her duet partner: “And now, my fairytale dream comes true: I get to share a stage with Stevie Nicks.” The two women’s voices complimented each other nicely on the harmonies of “Rhiannon,” before moving into a more awkward mandolin-fueled hoedown version of “You Belong With Me.” Never thought I’d see Stevie Nicks playing tambourine behind Taylor Swift, but that’s the magic of Music’s Biggest Night.
For Swiftwood Mac and all the rest of the action, tune in to the 52nd annual Grammy Awards, live on CBS, Sunday, Jan. 31, at 8 p.m. ET/PT — and check back here tomorrow for more rehearsals including, but not limited to, Bon Jovi (most likely featuring Jennifer Nettles), the Michael Jackson tribute (Celine Dion and Usher in 3-D!) and Beyonce. And don’t forget to sign up for our Grammy live blog!

Celine Dion doing MJ? This will be interesting...

[vivfox]

Thank you Amber. You were the one to report the most definitive answer to all of our questions.

[ButterCookie]

I just cringe to think of Stevie singing Love Story.

Oh hell me too. :laugh:

I don't like Taylor's music but I'm just excited to see Stevie on TV (That sounds so lame but 'tever) :blob1:

Thanks SO much for posting this. I knew it would be some kind of medley, and Rhiannon/You Belong With Me is perfect! I hope that it ends up on iTunes. I wonder how Stevie will interpret the high notes on YBWM.

[CelticGypsy]

Yea!!!

I only hope there are some Youtube videos since my daughter is due to have her baby this weekend and I have a feeling I will be at the hospital tomorrow night:)

Will have to try to remember to set the DVR.

[Livia]

The "mandolin-fueled hoedown" version of YBWM is all because of Butch Walker. He already did a cover of it that Taylor was "blown away" with...here it is:

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/KOQAjsi0YQA&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/KOQAjsi0YQA&hl=en_US&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

I'm positive that he will be part of this is as well - he's been tweeting hints for awhile about his big upcoming TV performance, his hunt for a banjolin (that a friend found for him "SWIFT"-ly.) Butch is my FAVORITE male singer-songwriter (saw him 5 times last year) - he's also a producer. I certainly hope their Grammy performance leads to Butch producing Stevie someday. I'm tickled pink that they'll actually share a stage together. Not only will Stevie get attention from Taylor's fans, this will be good exposure for Butch as well.

[Livia]

5 p.m. -- Taylor Swift

The country-pop queen with has no shortage of fans of all ages -- even Canadian-born producer and arranger David Foster shows up to catch her rehearsal. Clad in a black mini-skirt and shaking her long blond curls, the eight-time nominee opens her segment with her new single Today Was a Fairytale, which sold a record-breaking 325,000 in its first week. As that song ends, Swift says: "And then my fairytale comes true -- Stevie Nicks joins me onstage." At which point -- such is the power of Taylor these days -- the Fleetwood Mac heroine obediently emerges to duet on two songs, including Swift's You Belong to Me. If all of Swift's wishes get granted so easily, expect her to take home a slew of hardware on Sunday. Meanwhile, expect us to try to sneak into some more rehearsals on Saturday -- including performances by Bon Jovi, Celine Dion, Lady Gaga and Elton John.

[vivfox]

On Friday (January 29) Taylor Swift was in Grammy rehearsals with Stevie Nicks. Taylor sang a rendition of her current single Today Was A Fairytale before introducing the Fleetwood Mac singer.

“And now, my fairytale dream comes true: I get to share a stage with Stevie Nicks.”

Their voices complimented nicely for a rendition of Rhiannon. Afterwards, they both transition into Swift’s hit You Belong With Me which apparently involves a mandolin. You can read more about it at Entertainment Weekly’s Music Mix.

"Today was a Fairytale" is a Beautiful song. and RHIANNON! YES I LOVE THIS ALREADY!!!!

[mike_nh]

I am so pumped for this tomorrow night only because of what it could mean for stevie. Taylor Swift is
the hottest performer on the planet right now and anything she touches turns to gold. so many
people will be watching to see if she sweeps and also to see her perform so with her bringing stevie
out as a ''surprize'' guest i'll bet that the younger fans will start looking into stevie's music because
of taylor's intrest in her and many of the older fans that already know stevie might get into her
again if they have not followed her for awhile.

Stevie rarely does award shows so her being with taylor and a few hundred million people watching all over the globe just might give stevie's carear that rebirth that it needs.

once in a million years a lady like her rises.......stevie/rhiannon rises once again.

[RockALittle250]

Wow, the Nicksfix actually has an update about this! :shocked:

Stevie will be doing a surprise performance at the Grammy's this Sunday night...stay tuned.
Sunday January 31st at 8PM (7PM Central) on CBS.

*facepalm*

I don't know what makes me despair most -- that this person (who I will presume is under the age of 12, but still) doesn't know who Stevie Nicks is, or that they didn't have the forethought to Google the name before posting a question they should have realised might expose their ignorance. C'mon kids! Be resourceful!

Hopefully Sunday night will mean we'll have a legion of Gen Whatevers not asking such questions anymore.

[SortaSavageLike]

I'm so out of touch with reality, I have no idea what Taylor Swift even sounds like. I hear she can't sing worth two ****s live, and her albums are auto-tuned all to hell. I was hoping Stevie would just do HAEWAFY and be done with it.

Really, I'm incredibly nervous about this whole thing. The people who love Stevie will gush all over this, the people who hate her will keep on hating her, and I can't see the teenybopper generation being converted overnight. The Super Bowl Stand Back was a total fiasco. I think she lost a ton of potential fans from that alone.

I don't think she lost any fans there, but she didn't gain any of the beer kegger dude crowd either. But then again, no one in the Superbowl crowd who actually watches it for the game would ever admit to being a Stevie Nicks fan.

[Macfanforever]

wow.I'll be tuned in.Yes I hope this appearence will give Stevie a broader exposure , and I hope it will gain her interest in the country music gender,Also dont forget to tune in E channels Live From the Red Carpet:Grammy Awards at 6pm, and TV Guides Channels Live at the Grammy Awards With Carrie Ann & Chris also at 6pm to see a glinps of Stevie going in.I hope they show her,also We will find out if the E channels Fashion police will catch Stevie red handed with her looks monday at 10pm on E channel.She might be on there.

[StreetAngel95]

being a huge Taylor Swift fan, i'm rather excited for the performance. i always talk to my friends about Fleetwood Mac and Stevie and nobody knows what the hell i'm talking about. I always feel so isolated from kids my age cause of it (hence why i joined the ledge). Now when i go back to school, i have something to talk about! So excited!

Taylor Swift sparkles in head to toe metallic as she arrives at the Salute To Icons Honoring Doug Morris held at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Saturday evening (January 30).

The 20-year-old musician tweeted a quote from pal band mate Caitlin that JJJ totally agrees with: “I’d hug you right now but… You’re really sparkly and I know stuff would fall off.”

Would you be afraid to hug Taylor in that dress?

Be sure to catch Taylor perform with Stevie Nicks at tomorrow night’s 2010 Grammys @ 8PM ET/PT on CBS.

I have all these unrealistic dreams of interviewing Stevie when I become a journalist after I finish my degree.

Found out what Stevie will be singing! Turns out her and Taylor Swift will be doing Stevie's "Rhiannon" and Taylor's "You Belong To Me"...should be interesting...definitly not what I was expecting. Excited though that Stevie will be introduced to a new generation of fans though :)

I can't believe this! My daughter is a huge fan of Taylor..and I of Stevie...can't wait to tell her this...sometimes she gets really mad about the whole Stevie Nicks thing...wait till she hears this! In all this time that my daughter's read up on Taylor she never once mentioned that Taylor liked Stevie...I think this is a new love.

[belladonnadream]

It'd be great if she was getting some award though..like a lifetime achievement award or something..I think Stevie deserves it...and come on..I can aimlessly count the # of present day singers who claim Stevie's influenced them or they idolize her.. Many times when someone performs its cause they're getting an award..hope its not just Taylor

[wheart]

Honestly, I couldn't identify one song that Taylor Swift sings (she's country, right??). I think Pink would have been a much better choice...they could have done "Sober"!!
Anyway, while pondering this last night, I think we're going to get one of three outfits from La Nicks:

a) black ruffle dress, rhiannon sleeves, ankle boots, possibly top hat (if she's feeling wild and crazy)

b) black ruffle dress, silver springs top (from unleashed), ankle boots.

c) white ruffle dress,black coat, black boots (Soundstage Edge outfit)

I'm hoping I'm wrong on all these counts because I would love to see her is something not so well worn but these are my predictions. Pretty sure it's gonna be (a)

[Macfanforever]

Let's see here..carrie underwood did gyow with lindsey a couple of years back and now taylor swift
is doing rhiannon with stevie...what's next?? rerelease rumours as a remixed country cd..

you can go your own way..yall go your own way...yeeeehaaaa..lol



I'm for it.

[belladonnadream]

Guess they're doing 3 songs? Sorry if someone alreay posted that..didn't read thru the whoole thread...


"Beyonce will do a medley of "If I Were a Boy" and Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know." Gaga will be accompanied onstage by Elton John. And Swift will be joined by Stevie Nicks for a medley of Swift's "Today was a Fairytale" and "You Belong With Me" and Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon."

A medley of 3 songs isn't really the same as "doing" 3 songs, and it means Rhiannon will be butchered.

medleys seem to be the way to go these days but I personally despise them and always have. They don't do any of the songs justice.

It looks like you got it pretty close. From that pic of Fergie and Stevie at rehearsals it looks to be the black dress with ruffles. Now the question, with or without the hideous gloves?

And do you think she'll add the flowing black cape (rhiannon sleeves) and tan boots that she's been wearing for Rhiannon during her recent solo tours?

I'm thinking the leather fingerless numbers with the silver fringe...

[RockALittle250]

Ok, so i think we can all be sure that Stevie will indeed wear her trademark platform boots. Taylor Swift is 5'11''!!!!

[Lexi]

A 3 song medley?!

Far out.. How has Stevie agreed to this?

It makes me sad.

Oh god, please not the 80s biker chick gloves lol

Stevie Nicks Performs at Grammys with Taylor Swift

So after much speculation about the context of Stevie Nicks' recently announced Grammy performance this Sunday night, it is confirmed that Taylor Swift will sing with her. *Spoiler Alert* Stevie and Taylor rehearsed "Rhiannon" and "You ...

Perez Hilton just tweeted:

Stevie Nicks is joining Taylor Swift for a performance at the Grammys tonight. Amazing! Amazing! Stevie Nicks is one of my all-time faves!!!

[galestreet]

I think Stevie should break out of the medley and just sing Love Is and Fireflies and grab Jon Bon Jovi and sing some of his songs, she should try to steal the show from Swift until they go to commercial but she should keep singing when the show is over like a duracell fairy lol :thumbsup:

[gypsy4life]

Don't know if this has been said, I missed a couple of days of Ledge time, but, I think this will open a new fan base for Stevie beacuse of Taylor's fans. If she loves Stevie, so will they.

It's a good thing, I think!

[LikeAWillow]

This is definitely a good thing. I really don't understand Stevie Nicks fans. We complain that she isn't doing anything new and innovative (and I include myself in this "we," Stevie has done nothing but, with the exception of the soundstage signing, disappoint me over the past three years), we complain that her setlist is tired, and we complain that she doesn't strive to get herself enough exposure or open herself up to new audiences. Then we're given the Grammys, and a performance with one of the hottest young singers in America right now, along with Stevie's vocals on two new songs we haven't heard before, and we complain that we don't like Taylor Swift, and that she doesn't deserve to be on a stage with Stevie? Give. it. up. This is good for Stevie's career, it's good for her longevity, and hopefully, it'll be a damn good spark for her creativity. I don't care if Taylor Swift ran over your puppy, laughed about it and then turned the experience into a really catchy pop number---you should realize that there's a huge audience for the ode to your dead dog and be happy to hear Stevie sing on it.

Well that will all depend on how Stevie SOUNDS tonight.

[michelej1]

From MTV.com

http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1630852/20100131/swift__taylor.jhtml

Try as he might, Sway just could not get anyone to tell him who Taylor Swift would be singing with at Sunday night's big show. (Reports that it would be Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks emerged during the Grammy gala event.)

"You know already!" Swift said sweetly.

[gypsy4life]

Well that will all depend on how Stevie SOUNDS tonight.

I have faith in her. She will sound great.

[OldTimer]

Taylor Swift's already won two tonight (presented by Mick and Colbie).

Picking up the songwriter's award for 'White Horse', Taylor towered over her co-writer. Stevie damn well better wear the platforms.

[Livia]

Taylor still had to go on her tiptoes to hug Mick. :D

Tweet from Butch Walker (who I am just as excited to see as I am to see Stevie):

"So when this girl named Taylor Swift plays tonight, look for my arm, leg, or banjolin in a TV shot. If I’m lucky? Where’s Waldo…."

Yea, Taylor is almost 6 feet tall! I'm sure Stevie will pull them out for this performance. I personally hope she wears the tan ones.

[-Lillith-]

I am exited about that performance :)
I will stay up and watch it live. The whole thing goes till like half past 5 in the morning ...
This might get Stevie new fans and make her more known by a younger Generation, altough i dont really know more than one Song i watched up because of this about Taylor Swift...

Anyway i think Stevie will do great ! Yeah !!! :nod:

[thatgirlwasme]

I'm watching the Red Carpet right now. I'm so excited for Stevie's performance. I'm hoping she's going to walk the carpet tonight!

[bellagypsy79]

I had heard on E News the other night that this singer named Colbie Caillat, ( I guess that's how you spell it), is the daughter of producer Ken Caillat who produced Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album, will either be a presenter or performer on the show and I thought, oh, maybe that's why Stevie's going to be on there....but I just read a post that Taylor and Stevie will be singing. That should be a great performance! I just thought I would pass along the coincidence to everyone about Colbie Caillat. :wavey:

[Macfanforever]

The tv guild channel just talk to Mick,no mention about Stevie from him.
I'm monitoring E channel too.

[StreetAngel95]

i can't even begin to express how excited i am for this performance! The last time the Mac was on the Grammys i was 3. Although it's not everybody, i'm still psyched for this! Go Stevie! We'll be cheering you on!!!!!!

[FMlex]

Taylor just walked the red carpet and Ryan asked her if she could reveal anything about her performance (he's introducing it) and she said that there's a big surprise and that it's great enough just to be at the Grammys but it's even better when your idols come out.

Paraphrased, of course. :)

[Macfanforever]

Taylor just appeared on E's red carpet talking about tonights performance,she could not say Stevie is singing with her,her and Ryan S said it will be a surpize,sorry FMLex
I guess we were typing at the same time,

[Macfanforever]

Taylor just made her way to TV Guides coverage,she did not say anything again.

[StreetAngel95]

ryan just interviewed Colbie, she said that when she was young she would sing Fleetwood Mac around the house........XF:GOIJSXRZ:GISRBTKNSX:LFG HOLY CRAPPP IM SO NERVOUS AND ANXIOUSSSSSS

[Fiver]

Anybody who wants to watch the Grammys online, I just found a way!

Picture's a bit fuzzy but it sounds good.

Dunno if it works for those outside the US but give it a shot.

[thatgirlwasme]

So their billing the Taylor Swift performance as "very special." They sure are building it up!!!

They really are, it's exciting.

Taylor's performance is being said to be the last, it will be relatively late, I think.

I can't believe Beyonce won single of the year. Good lord.

[JohnL]

I thought Beyonce was awesome. I love her.

[thatgirlwasme]

They just showed a brief clip of Taylor with Stevie that must have been from rehearsal! Stevie looked to be in an Unleashed outfit I think . . .

[Nathan]

I can't stand Beyonce.

[Macfanforever]

Stevie is one of Taylors heros?, They showed a video clip of them together.

I can't stand Beyonce.


Shes cute anyway.
