Image Credit: Michael Caulfield/Getty ImagesThis morning a new batch of performers for the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards were announced. Usher and his protege Justin Bieber are set the hit the stage alongside Will Smith’s son, Jaden. Though the young Smith is known more as an actor, he did collaborate with Bieber last year on “Never Say Never.” Maybe he’ll bust some more raps next month. Hip-hop upstart B.o.B, R&B crooner Bruno Mars, and energetic soul star Janelle Monáe will all make their debut appearances at the Grammys, performing together in what’s described as “a rare never-before-seen presentation.” No doubt, Mars and B.o.B will spend a bit of time performing their summer smash “Nothin’ On You,” but it’ll be interesting to see where Monae fits in to the set.
Miranda Lambert, Muse, and Lady Antebellum will also be rocking out come Feb. 13. They’ll join the likes of the already confirmed Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Eminem. With such a varied bunch of singers, rhymers, and bands, who are you most anxious to see hit the stage? Let us know in the comments below.

I want to see Eminem, Gaga, and Carrie Underwood. I hope she performs again this year!
umm its bieber and ushers year 2010/2011. so hates suck it up. they are staying for a while……..
Just Britney Spears performing her new song and proving she still has it.
No.
YES!!
Yeah, she can show us that she still can lip synch.
Shut up! You know she was a great performer.
You mean proving she can still lip sync and master an auto-tune for the notes she does attempt to “sing?”
we want to see justin bieber the new king of pop and rock & Roll.
Hey- How about you go fall into a ditch?
Justin Bieber, new king of rock and roll?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
ughh why is beaver even nominated!? i swear if he wins, i will lose all respect for the grammys.
on a side note, i know which performance i’ll be fast forwarding(DVR’S FTW)
If he DOES win it really isn’t that big of deal. It’s not like it would be the end of the world or anything. The Grammys lost credibility a long time ago. Let the kid have his moment because after that who knows what the longevity of his career will be?
Sorry, same old, same old performers. Adam Lambert is the only one I really want to see. Bruno mars and gaga nice also.
Adam’s gonna be on? Weellll, I guess I will tune in…or wait until it’s on YouTube
I want Britney! Jaden smith? I’d like to see Willow Smith.
jaden smiith is hot soo yu might as well wanna see hiim 2 and willow smith is aawesome 2 yu shuld be glad to see both of them .
Usher looked sick this picture all way the eyes is a give away….
What about Arcade Fire? People who actually use instruments. No one seems to give a shizz.
This just proves the Grammy awards are getting worse music acts in as the years go on. The only performer I am excited to hear is Lady Gaga because unlike most of the other performers she is original. I miss the days when Christina Aguilera, NSYNC, No Doubt, and Madonna were really popular and had hits out.
u guys are the best
you guys are the best and justin bieber is so cute
