LOS ANGELES — The Backstreet Boys singing backup for Elton John. Britney Spears with a short new hairdo. A Latin medley with Marc Anthony, Buena Vista Social Club, and Ricky Martin. Santana performing with Rob Thomas, and Bob Dylan presenting with Lauryn Hill. This is what you can expect at the 42nd Annual Grammy Awards Wednesday night, to be held at the Staples Center and broadcast on CBS.
The show is heavy on medleys, such as Britney doing "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" with "… Baby One More Time." That's because Grammy producers didn't want to hit viewers one more time with the songs already seen on the Billboard, MTV, and American Music awards, says a Grammy spokesman. A total of 10 awards will be handed out during the broadcast, which will be hosted by Rosie O'Donnell.
Here is the lineup of the performing artists, in order of appearance:
- Will Smith: "Freakin' It/Wild Wild West"
- Dixie Chicks: "Goodbye Earl"
- Marc Anthony: "I Need to Know"
- Buena Vista Social Club: "Mami Me Gusto"
- Ricky Martin: "Maria"
- Whitney Houston: "It's Not Right But It's Okay/I Learned From the Best"
- Backstreet Boys (performing a cappella): "Show Me the Meaning of Being Lonely"
- Faith Hill: "Let Me Let Go"
- TLC: "Unpretty/No Scrubs"
- Sting with Cheb Mami: "Desert Rose"
- Kid Rock: "God Only Knows/Bawitdaba/We're an American Band"
- Britney Spears: "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart/… Baby One More Time"
- Elton John with Backstreet Boys: "Philadelphia Freedom"
- Diana Krall/George Benson/Erykah Badu: "I Can't Give You Anything But Love"
- Joshua Bell and Edgar Meyer: "Death by Triple Fiddle"
- Santana featuring Rob Thomas: "Smooth"
