The concert featured a cabaret atmosphere with the impeccably polished LL Cool J as master of ceremonies. The segue into the performances by the Black Eye Peas's I Gotta A Feeling was flawless. The backstage crew, celebrities and audience joined in to tear down the house. The Black Eyed Peas invited viewers to upload a 20-second lip dub of their favorite line of I Gotta A Feeling on the CBS.com Grammy Specials upload site. Some lucky fans' entries will get a spot on the January 31 Grammy Awards Show.

Post a CommentI have to admit, I am a fan of LL Cool J since way back. I also enjoy Lady Gaga for her visual artistic talent. I like Fergie, too. And Taylor Swift is one of the most amazing young ladies ever to hit the stage.
24 carat gold Fergie present!
Was someone else performing for Fergie during the Grammy Nominations concert last night? It did not look like her at all!
