Nothing will stop M.I.A. from performing, even if she’s nine months pregnant. The British songwriter is expected to deliver her child any day now – talk about a close call. It wouldn’t be the least surprising if she ends up dropping out, since doctors originally estimated her delivery would be on the award shows date.
While the Grammys are usually a snooze fest, this years performance lineup is looking pretty good. Currently, the following are set to perform: Estelle and Kanye West, Adele, Chris Brown, U2, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Coldplay, Jennifer Hudson, Lil Wayne, Paul McCartney (with Dave Grohl on drums), Radiohead, T.I. and Justin Timberlake, and the quartet of Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, T.I. and Kanye West.
