Grammy Performers: Beyonce, Foo Fighters...and Michael Jackson?
The Recording Academy has announced that Beyonce (pictured), the Foo Fighters, and Carrie Underwood are all slated as headline performers for the 50th anniversary Grammy Awards celebration February 10, 2008. Mary J. Blige and living legend Aretha Franklin will take part in a gospel extravaganza, and the show will also feature Rihanna in a special segment with the reunited Time. These are the officially announced performances, but there are plenty of other rumors floating around about possible additional performers.
The most significant of these rumors is that Michael Jackson will take part in the Grammy celebration and possibly even perform. His 25th anniversary special edition of Thriller is scheduled to hit stores 2 days after the Grammys on February 12, 2008. A Michael Jackson performance would be timely. Los Angeles Times reporter Tom O'Neill is keeping an eye on the story as well.
The 2008 Grammy Awards will take place at L.A.'s Staples Center February 10, 2008 and will be broadcast on CBS television 8-11:30 p.m. ET.

Michael would be crazy to miss this, If he did peform it could be michaelmania all over again . . .
Other source said that Michael won’t be performing at the Grammy.It would be still fine with me if Michael Jackson won’t be performing. His appearance would be enough. Besides he already proved to the whole world that he can sing and like no one. He’s almost 50 years old now. Maybe it requires him to have more time for the rehearsals. It’s ok. in my opinion he deserves to do what he pleases to do. I just wish he will write another new songs. God Bless Michael Jackson!!!! I will still continue to support you.
