Beyonce To Perform At The Grammy’s

Published: Friday 18th Jan 2008 by Sam
Beyonce To Perform At The Grammy'sMatthew Knowles released a statement yesterday confirming that Beyonce will, in fact, be performing at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards, which will be held Los Angeles on February 10th.

“The work of The Recording Academy is vital to the music industry, and we have every intention of being with the entire music community to celebrate the Grammys’ 50th birthday in February. Beyoncé, as well as my other artists Solange and Trinitee 5:7, have been asked to participate and will do so. We have an incredible Beyoncé performance that will be announced soon. We wish the Grammys the best”.

Though I always welcome the possibility of a Beyonce performance (fans, haters etc know she always shuts it down), what has she released in the last year that warrants her performing at this year’s show? Yes, she is nominated for ‘Irreplaceable’ but come on now. She’s performed the life out of that track (which I must add was released back in 2006). It’ll be interesting to see how Solange and Trinitee 5:7 a Gospel act) are incorporated into the show as well.

Your thoughts?

    I TOTALLY AGREE!!!!!!!! How is it that Kelly Rowland is not performing with the re-release of Ms. Kelly, and up coming events she should be a performer… and I’m sorry but SOLANGE?????!!!!!! Strange how daddy’s little girls shine and Kelly gets left in the background….. MOVE ON KELLY MOVE ON….. or your career will be destroyed

    It’s the 50th anniversary, Beyonce is one of few women that took home FIVE grammy’s in one night and she has a total of 10 grammy’s and she might possibly win her 11th grammy that night. She has every right to be there and celebrate. She might take part in a tribute performance why don’t we wait and see. If you don’t like it, change the channel when ol girl shows up on your screen. simple as that.

    CAN SOMEBODY JUST TELL ME WHY? I LOVE BEYONCE. BUT HOMEGIRL NEEDS A BREAK. LET SOMEONE ELSE HAVE THE SPOTLIGHT!!! LIKE KELLY ROWLAND.

    My God, are you people so simple-minded? She doesn’t NEED to have new songs to perform at an award show. She was asked to perform and she accepted.

    Doesn’t matter what she sings, because performing on-stage is a part of her career. She might do “Irreplaceable” (God, I hope not!) or a re-make of a great song marking the 5oth Anniversary.

    Get a grip, she’s a singer and a performer, so she can still sing live and on-stage without the release of new material!

    ITS PRETTY INTRESTING HOW SOME OF YOU START OFF HATING AND PULL IT BACK! YOU GUYS ARE PITIFULL. IF KELLY ROWLAND HAD ENOUGH SENSE, OR BALLS TO BREAK AWAY FROM THE KNOWLES, SHE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE BY NOW! I JUST DONT SEE HOW SOMEBODY CAN JUST SIT THERE AND BE TAKEN FOR GRANTED! SHE NEEDS TO DO SOME SOUL SEARCHIN AND FIND WHO SHE IS AND START SPEAKING ON ALL THE BULL-S*** THAT MR. MATTHEW IS THROWING OUT!

    I guess Beyonce’ is going to milk her cow bone-dry. This woman refuses to take a break. Oh well, I just hope she doesn’t end up having nervous breakdowns this time next year (cough,Mariah Carey,cough). As for Kelly Rowland; I know she should leave Matthew and Columbia. You know she should leave Matthew and Columbia. EVERYBODY knows she should leave Matthew and Columbia. But Kelly is not going to bite the hand that has been feeding her for the past fifteen years or so. No;Kelly is going to keep sucking on whatever bones the Knowles throw her (she’s always been Beyonce’s lap dog). As much as I want to see Kelly flourish,that is not going to happen untill she breaks away from Matthew as her manager and Columbia/MusicWorldMusic as her label. They will never give her the support that she needs are deserves. Loyalty is going to cost that girl her career. It’s funny though, she’s loyal to people who don’t seem to give two fig-neutons about her. I pray one day that girl will wake up and realize that she can love ‘her “B”‘,Matthew,Tina and all of ’em from a distance. Stop sucking on those bones Kelly. A big juicy steak awaits;you just have to go and get it.

    She shouldn’t perform cos she’s an actress and they are striking come on B you gotta have more sense, Matthew needs to stop pimping his daughter and let her rest cos to be honest she hasn’t stopped and i’m getting sick of her she was everywhere with Dangerously in Love but that album was fire and B Day was some hot garbage, Beyonce needs to CHILL and TAKE A BREAK let us fans miss you and Kelly i’m tired of that crap she needs to pull her finger out and take hold of her career we can’t do nothing to help her she needs to help herself

    Listen, forget Beyonce for a minute..

    There is another performance that is being talked about, its not signed off are guaranteed to happen, just talks..but if its happens, its gonna make history.

    I CAN’T WAIT! This is such GREAT news! Of course I already knew this, but thanks for posting. I love Beyonce to death and won’t ever get tired of her. Then there are those people who don’t worship Beyonce like me, so they are already tired of her. Well that’s why our holy Lord God has given us the right to watch or not to watch, to listen or not to listen, to love or not to love. It’s your right, so pick one and move along!

    Just the simple fact that Beyonce will be performing at this years Grammy will automatically draw more people to watch the show on February 10. So many people I know dislike big awards shows and don’t want to hear the host and celebrities adlibs, due to the “writer’s strike”. If people are going to watch the show and go through that, then the performances better be **** GOOD! And of course Beyonce’s will be.

    Just like someone said above, Beyonce has TEN GRAMMY AWARDS and could win two more; plus she’s already delivered extraordinary performaces in the past, as a solo artist and as the lead singer of Destiny’s Child. As for the awards themself, well Beyonce has a good chance of winning, I mean a really good chance.

    As for the song she’ll perform…it makes no difference to me. Yes indeedm she could do yet another rendition of Irreplaceable (not english, not spanish, not country, not acoustically, MAYBE a french version or a heavy metal version…LMAO!,) but she won’t. Knowing Bee, she’s probably do a classic song to celebrate its 50th B’Day or debut her 1st/buzz single.

    When it comes to Ms. Kelly Rowland, maybe Matthew requested her to perform first, but they decline or maybe he doesn’t want his two biggest artist to COMPETE and perform on the same show. It is also worthy to mention that Kelly Rowland ISN’T nominated for any Grammys this year.

    Actually BEYONCE is the biggest artist of our generation..

    BEYONCE WILL SING ON THE ARETHA FRANKLIN TRIBUTE AS I SAID 4 MONTHS AGO. ARETHA WILL GET HONORED THIS YEAR. AND BEYONCE SING-N THE SONGS.

  19. Anonymous January 19, 2008

    Beyonce singing in an Aretha tribute is a crime against nature. It requires “soul” to sing ‘Retha.

    Now, granted, Beyonce DOES have a lot of “sole(s)”.

  20. jammy January 19, 2008

    b**** beyonce can sing one of those songs. so go sit down somewhere. ugh i am so sick of this damn arguing and anger towards these artists. it is all a business and game. I wish kelly could perform too, but don’t get all angry at beyonce for that. I am a huge kelly fan, and a beyonce fan, and all this s*** needs to stop. beyonce will PROBABLY SING FLAWS AND ALL! I BET YOU!!! Or maybe aretha Frankling according to the other ppl.

  21. Melissa January 19, 2008

    my thing is people are gonna like what they like and dislike what they dislike… like somone mentioned before, beyonce was asked to perform…people don’t just go and say can i perform for your show…that’s not how it works…and people hate simply because they can’t handle such a success….i can’t blame them either because they just aren’t used to it….who else in history has done as much and been as successfull as beyonce has and the time she has been out?!?! and she is a grown woman who can make her own decisions….if she can handle it and it is what she loves doing then why should she take a break…SHE can determine when SHE needs a break…just like all of you do…but untill then she is just gonna do what she loves and soak in her success!!!so are you all!!!
