What shall we expect from the GRAMMY performance?

[tpesky]

Mike's voice worries me the most at this event. His voice has been good when I've seen him in concert but  terrible at these types of televised events lately....Good Morning America Outside thing ,Dancing With The Stars,  and Reagan especially.

I'm sorry I've gotta disagree with you there...his voice was weak and raspy. He got a little better as the performance went on.

Mike sounded great at the Reagan thing..

California Girls especially

I somehow have a not-so-good feeling. This was posted on the Beatles' facebook page:

Confirmed: Paul To Perform At This Year's GRAMMY AWARDS!

[bossaroo]

obviously he'll be there to munch celery or carrots during the Beach Boys big performance

Why the not-so-good feeling..?

[CarlTheVoice]

I think they will put on an amazing show, I don't know how but I think they will pull it off! I hope the younger generation of music lovers (me) take notice too.

[Summertime Blooz]

It would be epic if they end the show with Sir Paul jamming on Fun Fun Fun with the BBs.

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

Maybe Mick Jagger can get up there and finally jam on I Get Around as opposed to Jumpin' Jack Flash!

That solves the problem of who gets to play bass on the Celebration tour...

Well, earlier last year (or maybe even before that), when nothing about the reunion was planned, Mike was asked if something will happen and he said he would like something like an all star concert and especially mentioned that if McCartney likes "God only knows" so much, he oughta sing it with the BBs. I personally had enough of these kind of things and don't want to ever hear again another artist singin a Beach Boys song with the Beach Boys. That's the reason for it. McCartney sang that song with Brian (and not even very well) and that's enough for me. I know that others will see it differently but if they do the Grammies I want them to performa on their own and not relying on guest stars.

They just gotta go up there, perform that song in that exact arrangement, the curtain closes and that's it. Bam. I don't know if the Grammys actually have curtains. but eh.

no, they don't have curtains at Staples!

I agree..

Let McCartney sing his latest terrible song   

[Zach95]

I'll take McCartney any day over Stamos 

[bossaroo]

no sh!t.

McCartney appearing with the Beach Boys gives them class and cred. Stamos does the exact opposite.

pretty cool Paul and the Boys will be on the same show, but I doubt they're performing together.

[Shady]

Hold up! Nobody said anything about Stamos at the grammys

I'd take Ringo over Stamos 

[Emdeeh]

FWIW, the BBs' appearance at the Grammy telecast was semi-confirmed by two deejays at WYAY in Atlanta today.

[Awesoman]

Paul is there to perform his new song, "My Valentine", from his horribly-titled upcoming album Kisses On The Bottom.  I doubt he's there for the Beach Boys.

I hope it's announced soon, couldn't caress less if it happens or not but I don't want to watch the whole show then have them not show up, like the last grammy's thing

Set the recorder, move on and forget about it, then fast forward thru after you know if they're on.
They'll probably be there for a non-musical appearance, with a recorded video.

With LL Cool J hosting, I wonder if he'll get involved with the Beach Boys. Or if the Beach Boys will perform at all, considering I've been seeing promos for the awards show and McCartney and LL are the big highlights in the ads. As long as the words "Black Eyed Peas" aren't mentioned after the words "performing next"...

One thing I'd probably not like to see is one of those terrible "all-star" jam session things where all kinds of artists strap on borrowed guitars and play blues licks over something like "Fun Fun Fun". Not just Fun Fun Fun, but any all star jam session...those things never work.

Yup.  I wish I had known that before I had bought the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductions DVD set.  Hours and hours of your favorite artists crammed up on a small stage, unrehearsed, unlistenable , and completely unaware what is happening. 

Both the Music Cares and the Brian Wilson All-Star Tribute DVDs are alright because mainly no one's up there with guitars but it's mainly a group sing a long.  In the Music Cares DVD it's fun to see Barenaked Ladies having a great time behind Brian singing the verses to "Fun Fun Fun"...in fact, they're so excited that they jump the gun and come in too early with the repeat background vocals after each verse "you walk like an ace now, you walk like an ace!"  Moments like that are pretty cool where you see the guests really having a good time and want to be up there. 

I don't particularly enjoy it when they're forced up there.  I would not be surprised if the Grammy's made it an obnoxious thing where they get Katy Perry, Kanye, Taylor Swift and John Mayer all up there singing with them.  DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT IT, GRAMMYS!

Kanye West would be okay to introduce them if the Grammies did something lame like that because he likes Pet Sounds and had one of his albums inspired by it.

[CarlTheVoice]

I don't know if anyone's mentioned it yet or if this is the wrong thread to put it on but I saw on facebook that the new album is scheduled for april!

That's about all I would approve him to do.

Thanks for the heads up! 

Hmmm...makes you wonder how much they've already written and recorded?  At this point, I would guess it should be nearly finished considering the release date is only 3 months away.

As of yet it's just a rumour.
