Couldn't find a thread on this, but did y'all hear?!
According to Perez, Britney will (EDIT: might) be performing at the Grammys this year!!!! :eek: However he does eventually state that her people sort of denied the confirmation, and it's not like he's been wrong in the past (Fidel Castro death, anyone?) but I think there's a massive possibility that he could be right on this one. Could you imagine?! Here's the article:
So if she does perform, I really hope she'll have the energy and excitement her legendary Oops I Did It Again performance (skip to the 1.30 mark and make sure you watch the whole thing!!) had at the MTV VMAs 2000. I mean, I know it was 11 years ago, but I do honestly think she's still got it in her!! She just has to want it and believe that we're all dying to see her get back to her former state of glory

"Sources reveal exclusively to PerezHilton.com that Britney Spears will be performing at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 13th.
Wow! Wow! Wow!
We're shocked! We didn't expect her to do much promo for this new album!
This will be Spears' first "live" TV performance in years!
Right now there are no plans for her to open the show but we're told that "she's been rehearsing for weeks and it's gonna be a truly great performance!"
We can't wait!!!!
Update: A rep for Britney Spears tells us, "We have not confirmed a performance at the Grammys at this time."
Mmmhhmmmm!
Our sources are very very good on this one!"

well she's had a lot of training and coaching over the recording of the album and preparation for video's and performances and vocals i think!
I would hope it is true! and a performance like in 2000 would be fantastic!!! for HIAM, with a vocoder for effect and she can still sing it live! as it's a song that will work with that. Just hope she also has backing vocalists to reinforce the overall performance too
will be a corker of a show if that will happen!
i remember she got as much attention in the media for just attending last year as Beyonce, P!nk and Gag after their performances the following day. and snapshots of her there etc.
so when she performs of course everywhere is gonna go crazily insane!!!
there'll be comparisons and cat fights of course, but i say whatever! each to their own but we all know who'll come out on top!
anyways Britney always has had amazing live sets, and the Grammy show i would love for her to sing it live too! i know she can do it
It's ridiculous to say a performance by Britney wouldn't be keeping in tone with the show... it's all about versatility and variety plus Britney likes to change it up and has put on several different types of performances in the past.
I just really hope Britney does actually perform and gives us a real kick ass performance... it would be just a brilliant next step to what already is shaping up to be a fantastic year for her career wise.
The Grammys don't traditionally go hand in hand with Britney though, she's one big act that they seem to repeatedly avoid awarding. To this date she's only got one, and it was an off-air category. It's like the early Madonna years, they shunned her until Ray of Light.
Hopefully though, they're lightening up. Obviously she's not going to win Best Pop Vocal awards or even the 'big ones' of the night because she's just too pop and not "real music" enough for them, but she definitely deserves more notoriety in the Dance/Electronica area.
Gaga getting so many nominations despite being a dance/pop act might be an indication that they're open to it now. Taylor Swift winning album of the year and Katy Perry being nominated this year also seem to be pointing toward the Grammys being less snobby. Who knows though.
Anyways, the hype ratio between Gaga and Britney will be pretty substantially tipped toward the former on the basic level that she's premiering her new single, whilst the latter will have had hers out for a month. Simply; there will be more to talk about with Gaga, and that's not even factoring in a shock performance a la VMA.
Katy Perry AND Justin Bieber!! :eek: Best Pop Album Vocal from either one of them?! Give me a break.. GaGa should win that one fo' sho'!
I thought the Grammys don't buy into hype? Or are they the ones that do? I can't remember. There's a certain awards ceremony that's looked upon as a bit of a joke these days in respect of who they nominate and playing with the dates of release. Is it the Grammys?
SuBo, Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, John Mayer and Gaga are up for Pop Vocal Album. :eek:
After Taylor Swift winning the ALBUM of the year, not just one of the lesser categories...I think it's fair to say they extremely do buy into the hype now. They didn't use to.
Katy Perry being included into the Album of the Year is borderline ridiculous, especially when you consider than Bad Romance was snubbed from Song/Record of the Year. What are they up to? You can't buy into hype in some categories and then turn a blind eye in others. BR is a hugely acclaimed pop song...it's weird that they favoured Love the Way You Lie, Empire State of Mind and Nothin on You over it.
So yeah, they're definitely in some sort of weird purgatory between hype-buying and credibility.
me too! i think it's really possible though, she's been training for the past few months. So for certain i would love her too
maybe do something with a vocoder for live effects too something MIA perhaps :cool: with slick choreography! will be fire!
She can do it, but like I said before, she just has to believe she can do it, as I think Britney really lacks confidence these days so chooses to take the easy way out/safe option by not singing live at all. But she CAN sing live! :eek:
Let's be honest, she's not amaaaazing, she's no Leona for example, but as a fan, I love the sound of her voice and do think she can hold a tune. I would just love to see her attempt to sing live on this "comeback".
Well, either that or a really intense dance routine.
If she lip-syncs, the choreography would need to be REALLY slick for her to get any props from the performance.
At the Grammys, she would probably be blasted beyond belief for not singing live. You can't get away with that these days.
Pathetic, isn't it? Honestly, it's one thing to mime from time to time, but ALL the time? Where's the talent in that? And it's not like she dances that much anymore, so people can't use that old excuse.
To be fair Britney has performed once at the Grammy awards before where she actually did put on a live vocal performance.... so i'm guessin' if she were to perform again she would do the same.
4music think it's happening.
Ooh, I hope so!:D
