The 53rd Grammy Awards are very nearly here, but the list of Grammy performers continues to grow. As if Eminem was aware that his lead in the most anticipated Grammy performance poll was slipping, the news came down earlier today that Dr. Dre would in fact be joining Slim Shady on stage for a performance (likely of the just-charted single "I Need a Doctor"). And just because there apparently weren't enough legends already on the docket, Bob Dylan was also added to the night's roster (he'll be playing alongside Mumford & Sons and Avett Brothers in what is being billed as a "tribute to acoustic music," which will likely have nods to folk, country and bluegrass).
As far as the poll for the most hotly-anticipated Grammy performance goes, Christina Aguilera (and the rest of the women participating in the tribute to Aretha Franklin) has taken control of the whole thing. Despite a decent head start, Lady Gaga and Eminem have both ceded the lead to Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson and company. But there is still time to endorse your favorite, as the voting will be open until Friday morning (February 11). The winner will be announced on Saturday (February 12), just in time to let the actual performances unfold on Sunday (February 13). Will Slim Shady's army — now with a big gun named Dr. Dre — return to the top of the heap? Will the Little Monsters send Lady Gaga into the number one spot? Or will Aguilera finish strong in the catbird seat? Keep voting below, and stay tuned for more Grammy news!
