Lil Wayne Announced As A Performer For Dance Segment At 2012 GRAMMY Awards
Lil Wayne has been confirmed as a performer with Chris Brown and David Guetta for the dance segment part at the 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards, which will broadcast live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 12th at 8PM EST. If Weezy, Brown and Guetta are all performing together, then I would guess they will be performing either “I Can Only Imagine” or “Look At Me Now“. Hit the jump to read what Grammy show producer Ken Ehrlich said about the performance below!
Grammy show producer Ken Ehrlich had considered putting dancing/electronica music into the ceremony in the past, but could never quite figure out how to incorporate the high-energy club feel in front of a sometimes staid audience.
He thinks he’s figured it out this year. For the first time, the Grammy show will put the spotlight on the genre with a segment featuring Grammy nominees Deadmau5, the Foo Fighters, Chris Brown, David Guetta and Lil Wayne, all performing in a tent space amid 1,000 fans.
“We decided to go all out this year,” Ehrlich said of the performance taking place outside the Staples Center in Los Angeles, where Sunday’s ceremony will be held. “All we’re going to try and do next week is to try and put the home audience in the middle of it. … It is more than just sitting there and watching it.”
“I don’t know that I figured out a way to do it that felt right until now,” Ehrlich said in an interview Monday. “My feeling about dance is it’s such an immersive experience for the participant, that to put it on stage … where the audience is not a part of it … I don’t know, honestly, until we came up with the idea of doing it this way, I don’t know if it ever would have worked.”
Ehrlich calls the performance the “most ambitious number that we’ve ever done outside the Staples Center.” It will feature at least four cameras from audience level as Deadmau5 (pronounced dead mouse) and the Foo Fighters perform his remixed version of the band’s song “Rope,” which netted him one of his Grammy nominations, and as Brown and Lil Wayne perform with Guetta.
Ehrlich said the performance reflects the popularity of dance music over the past few years.
“As much as a recorded medium that it is, and the fact that it’s selling a lot of CDs and downloads, it’s really a live experience,” he said. “It is more than just sitting there and watching it.”
“What I try and do when we’re building this show is to think about the audience first. … What can I do that’s going to keep an audience for 3 1/2 hours watching the Grammy Awards?” he said. “I do try and look for how broad I can make it and still assume that people are going to tune in and stay with it.”

Isnt that a
cowgirl on the pisture?
(c obviously)
look at tha slimeball, somehow made his way back into the grammys. he’ll probably pitch a fit on stage like he did at the mtv awards and trip and bump his head and need some more stitches and meanwhile everyone in the world will get to hear his shitty babyvoice on nation television.
You guys shouldn’t really be excited about Wayne doing performances with other artists on stage …
solo performances are more important.
Smurftastic!!!!
A cowgirl?

Man sometimes it just pisses me off that when I read some of these comments u could jut tell so many little kids follow weezy and its funny cause I wonder if they ever heard any of his hot boys or first albums ever made? remember Wayne said in MTV unplugged when he started fireman ” this one is for the real fans” cause he knows y’all lil kids just be hearing his new shot but dont really know where he really came from!
Unplugged……..mmmmmmmm……..I thought that was live, so like my favorite.
