The 50th Grammy Awards could be one of the best. Battered by illegal downloading, and dwindling sales overall, the music industry desperately needs the extra exposure from Sunday’s event. It almost didn’t get the chance, due to the writers’ strike. But there should be some interesting pairings and potentially dramatic live performances that fans will be watching carefully.
Amy Winehouse and Kanye West are the most-nominated performers, and could be the top winners, at Sunday’s Grammy Awards, which will be shown live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles starting at 8 on CBS.
West was a late, but high profile, addition to the performance slate. The rapper, who leads the pack with eight nominations including album of the year, is expected to deliver a moving tribute to his mother, Donda West, featuring his hits “Stronger” and “Hey Mama.” Will West deservedly get the Grammy denied him in the last few years based on the sympathy vote because of his mother’s death?
Amy Winehouse a leading nominee (including best new artist and record of the year) is also set to perform after months of highly publicized personal struggles. will Grammy voters feel like enablers should they give out top prizes to Winehouse who has seemingly spent more time impaired than onstage in the last year? After struggles to get a visa on time while in rehab for drug abuse, Winehouse will be performing at the ceremony via satellite. “I’m really sorry I can’t be there but I appreciate that I’m being given a second chance via satellite,” Winehouse said in a statement.
Sunday’s show also promises splashy performances from Beyoncé, Carrie Underwood, Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley and Best New Artist nominee Feist.
Those who can endure the lengthy 3-1/2-hour event will also see a segment pairing Rihanna with a reunited version of ’80s R&B hitmakers The Time, plus several duets - between Fergie and John Legend, Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban, and a three-way with John Fogerty, Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis.

Rap star Kanye West received a leading eight Grammy nominations Thursday, and the troubled pop/soul singer Amy Winehouse, whose promising career has been sidelined by drug and alcohol problems, followed with six.
Five acts received five nominations each — rock band the Foo Fighters, rapper Jay-Z, hip-hop producer Timbaland, pop singer Justin Timberlake, and R&B singer T-Pain.
West’s categories were mostly in the rap field, including nominations for best rap album (”Graduation”) and two entries for best rap song (”Can’t Tell Me Nothing” and “Good Life”).
Winehouse, 24, was nominated in all four of the top categories: record of the year, album of the year, song of the year (a songwriter’s award), and best new artist.
Other top nominees included the Foo Fighters, Jay-Z, Rihannna, Paul McCartney, T-Pain and Timbaland.
Both West and Winehouse were nominated for album of the year for their CDs, “Graduation” and “Back to Black” respectively. Winehouse was also cited for best new artist, plus record and song of the year for her hit defiant hit “Rehab.”
Other record of year candidates included Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable,” the Foo Fighter’s “The Pretender,” Rihanna’s “Umbrella” and “What Goes Around Comes Around” by Justin Timberlake.
The album of the year category also featured the Foo Fighters, for “Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace,” as well as Winehouse’s album. Vince Gill’s four-disc set “These Days” was also cited, along with Herbie Hancock’s tribute to Joni Mitchell, “River: The Joni Letters,” and West’s “Graduation.”
Besides Winehouse’s “Rehab,” other song of the year candidates included Corrine Bailey Rae’s sweet-sounding “Like A Star,” Carrie Underwood’s revenge anthem “Before He Cheats,” The Plain White T’s “Hey There Delilah” and “Umbrella.”
Winehouse was competing against Feist, Paramour, Taylor Swift and Ledesi in the best new artist category.
The field for best new artist is dominated by women: Winehouse, Canadian singer/songwriter Feist, country singer Taylor Swift, R&B singer Ledisi, and the female-fronted rock band Paramore.
