Could she maybe go into the Hall of Fame? Or is it a bit early? I really want her to perform

 

So do we think a Whoriah performance is likely?

[Prince Whiskers]

I still find it hard to believe that IACBTMN didn't win any Grammy. Such an epic in vocals, lyrics and melody.

[LuisMa]

I hope she goes and announces the nominees. The announcers almost always get a nomination.

 

Thanks for the exciting news, Ronny.

[LuisMa]

I still find it hard to believe that IACBTMN didn't win any Grammy. Such an epic in vocals, lyrics and melody.

 

I believe it wasn't submitted so that it wouldn't cancel any votes BYLM was to receive.

I think this article confirms it?

[Prince Whiskers]

I still find it hard to believe that IACBTMN didn't win any Grammy. Such an epic in vocals, lyrics and melody.

 

I believe it wasn't submitted so that it wouldn't cancel any votes BYLM was to receive.

"Change The World" triumphed simply bec. it was Clapton and Babyface together. BYLM could have bagged the award if it wasn't for that pairing "event".

[CellyDee87]

I soooo want to go to this, it would be such a great opportunity being in LA and all! I dearly hope that she sings That's Just The Woman In Me but it's probably fair to say it'll be My Love yet again...

[Prince Whiskers]

I think it's now confirmed!

 

Celine along with John Mayer, Taylor Swift, the Foo Fighters and B.B. King will be performing.

[VinnyT.]

I soooo want to go to this, it would be such a great opportunity being in LA and all! I dearly hope that she sings That's Just The Woman In Me but it's probably fair to say it'll be My Love yet again...

I really dont think she will sing TJTWIM (I wonder why she should sing that song) maybe My love or a medley of her hits/grammy songs

[Teodora]

Yep, it's confirmed! That's great! I hope she sings My Love I doubt she'll get any nominations though...

[VinnyT.]

This appearance is scheduled to promote the GH so she can sing only songs related to it

[Black Kitten]

she should do another ABMS, just like her legendary performance during the '97 Grammy.

 

ugh wishful thinking

[Kyle_Jared]

They better damn well nominate her!!!! She's been soo good to the academy!!! she deserves at least ONE nomination!!!!!!!

[Koolan]

I love how they mentioned her name FIRST.

[nano]

WOW!! Great news!!!
