The promos for the big night are coming out fast and quick. Nominees have teamed up with the host for videos and photo shoots.
A series of videos have been done with LL Cool J and musician Taylor Swift. They cannot help but throw many jabs at one another. LL Cool J assumes Swift is excited for the big night because he is hosting it, but she replies: "There's a host? Awkward." Hilarious!
Rapper Nicki Minaj posed with an over-sized Grammy award and LL Cool J too. She will be performing new songs from her upcoming album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'. We are getting more and more excited for 12th February!

Coldplay and Rihanna take the Grammy Stage
With a single tweet, Rihanna has gotten everyone even more excited about the Grammy Awards: "My friends @ColdPlay and I will be sharing the stage for a performance at this years Annual Grammy Awards!"
For the first time ever, Rihanna and Coldplay will perform "Princess of China" to a live audience. She followed her initial tweet with this one: "WE reached 2BILLION views on @youtube !!! THANK U!!! I'm in a great mood, and I got some GREAT NEWS!!! PRINCESS OF CHINA #GRAMMYS2012."
Chris Martin, Coldplay's frontman has said: "Our new record is sort of a story; it's not quite a musical, but it's dangerously close. There's a bit of a love-story thread, so we really needed someone to sing even higher than me. [It's] hard, but very possible. You need to be a female really. So, in like a dream scenario, we had a song that I'd secretly kind of written to see if Rihanna would want to sing it. And then the rest of the band wanted to keep it, so we came up with the idea of asking her to sing it with us, and, to our great surprise, she said okay."
As we get closer to the awards night, more performers will be revealed. But we gotta say, this one leaves us very thrilled!

The Grammy Awards has a host this year
After seven years of not having a host for the Grammy Awards, organisers have decided to opt for one this year. And who will fill these shoes? Musician and actor - LL Cool J. Talk about pressure!
The last host for the event was Queen Latifah in 2005 but the ratings were not stellar - only 19 million viewers. Last year's big night topped in a whopping 27 million viewers - the biggest rating since 2000.
And everyone knows this awards night is not about the winners, or even the host. Why, it is about the performers! For 2011, big name stars of yesteryear like Mick Jagger, Barbra Streisand and even Bob Dylan pulled in the high numbers.This year we have names like: Foo Fighters, Bruno Mars, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift,
and Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson. We can only hope for the same magic...
Nevertheless LL Cool J has put on a brave front. In a press announcement, he has said: "I’m thrilled to be part of Music’s Biggest Night. I will always have fond memories of my first Grammy Awards and to now be hosting the Grammy show, in the company of so many other incredible artists, is a dream come true. Great performances and great music — it’s gonna be a great night!"
