: It's official. MediaTakeOut.com has learned that R&B great Mary J Blige and Rihanna will be joining Beyonce in performing at this year's Grammy Awards.

But the news gets better. The Writers Guild Of America has decided NOT to picket the awards show. That means that none of the performing artists will be considered "crossing the picket line" by agreeing to perform.

And Mary fans will love this. MediaTakeOut.com is hearing whispers that Mary J Blige will be performing twice during the show - once by herself. And a second time, as part of a gospel tribute to singer Aretha Franklin.

RIHANNA WILL BE PERFORMIN WITH A GROUP WHO IS REUNITIN CALLED "THE TIME" FROM THE 80S. she puts 80s music in her modern day style so that would suit her well.

this is good fuh rihrih who will be apart of this huge anniversary for the grammys.

lonnydan

MARY J AND L BOOGIE. *** BIG FOE HEAD AND FAKE AAZZ KEISHA COLE. ARETHA IS THE REAL DEAL


lonnydan

I DO NOT WANT TO SEE THAT MAN BEYONCE. WHAT AN UGLY AZZ TRIK BIIIITCH.


poisonUSbeauty

I still can't wait to see Beyonce... and i said this before and after the picket was cancelled. Everybody was hating on that girl for performing... now where is your hate for Mary and Ri Ri.


Morenita27

LOl@ Lonnydan!! Why don't you like Rhianna?? Who do you like best Lonny..Beyonce or Rhi, Rhi??


malonemx

Oh, so what.... Im tired of putting my money in these artists pockets. They dont appreciate it, all they wanna do is spend their money I give them on expensive dresses they wear only once instead of returning it and donating money to some type of chartiable event! MARY J BLIGE DOESNT EVEN WEAR THE SAME PANTIES TWICE, *** THROWS THEM AWAY AFTER SHE TAKES THEM OFF!!! HER MAID TOLD ME THAT MARY HAD TO CALL HER OVER ON A SUNDAY MORNING AND ASKED HOW TO WORK THE WASHING MACHINE, SPOILED AZZ MARY DIDNT EVEN KNOW HOW TO CRANK THAT *** UP!!! LORD HAVE MERCY ON THESE RICH PEOPLES SOULS.


Myna

@malonemx

Do you know Mary personally?


C_The_Goodfella

I CANT WAIT TO SEE BEY & TINA, THE REST I CAN DO WITHOUT! GO BEY LOL!


b26sugar

@thebrokensilence & poisonUSbeauty...I was thinking the same thing. Where's all the same hate that Bey was getting for performing? I guess it's all good now huh?


NikkiH

there is no picket line to cross MTO, the writers are not picketing the grammy awards.

Racheloppo

They should have Mary J and Fantasia paying tribute to Aretha. --------------------------------- largesingle.com - for black men to find white women with big boobs.


C_The_Goodfella

b26sugar

Thats what I was thinkin, Beyonce has 10 Grammys and she had 3 Very good performances on the Grammys, Why should she not be at the GOLDEN 50TH Anniversary *** of the Grammys? Its only right she be there!



BeautifulFabulous

Ttoo yung for mary ...her stuff is for the 30 and up crowd sorry :P


foxyfoxy

Rihanna should use this as her shining moment! Hope you do your thing girl!


Micaii

what the hell will Rihanna sing? Umbrella? lmao

I love you mary do you babe!

C_goodfella: everytime I see a comment of yours it is about Beyonce, lmao girl you love you some Beyonce huh?


Starr_Quality

i jus wanna see mary!


winkyboo

@Myna

No, malonemx said she knows her maid, not her (lol) . . . .


C_The_Goodfella

Micaii

I ride with the mainstream artist that gets very little love up in here on MTO!!! Beyonce, Justin, Jay-Z, Mariah, Alicia! LOL! The mainstream cats dont get much love on here! LOL!


Kellysprincess

*** now when you posted about beyonce perfoming at the grammys almost everybody dissed her but now its mary *** rihanna and its o.***? sounds like some haters to me but f*ck mary with her steroid taking a** and rihanna lip syncin a**


PunchDrunkPretty

Beyonce was getting hell because she agreed to perform BEFORE the writers decided not to strike. And, she deserved the ridicule because it was insanely self-centered, especially when she's a writer... right? The fact that she writes lyrics is irrelevant, a writer...an artist...would appreciate another's struggle. It's certainly why Alicia Keys has so empathized with her fellow scribes... It makes me wonder if Beyonce really writes... I remember her hinting that she wrote "Bills, Bills, Bills" but didn't understand that she should have gotten credit...and I don't understand how she could feel that way, that she'd been exploited...and then turn around and blatantly dismiss other writers in the exact situation. It's weird... It makes me wonder... I never questioned her before because the lyrics seems simple enough for her to have come up with...but now...hmmmm I don't know...


PunchDrunkPretty

Micaii, why do you look s[SPAM] much like Rocsi (106th and Park)? I mean, you're not ugly and she is but you so look like what she could have been lol It's uncanny.


step_into_the_light

That should be interesting.


Micaii

ROTFLMAO AT PUNCHDRUNK!

oh okay C, girl you had me worried there for a minute lol but I love Jay and Justin and I dare someone to say something bad aobut Alicia she is the greatest of our generation!


Sell_Me_Candy

OMG once again Beyonce is being mentioned. Is she even mentioned in the story? NO! Why are yall hating on Rihanna? Seems like Rihanna is the one keeping Bey's name relevant up in here. Yall give it a rest.


C_The_Goodfella

Micaii

I aint no girl! The Name is C_THE_GOODFELLA! LOL! I feel that Beyonce is the best performer of this generation, Jay is the best rapper/hustler! LOL! Alicia is the best musician today! Justin is the best White Boy in the game today! LOL!


Bruklyn

YA'LL HATED ON BEYONCE AND I TOLD YOU THAT THE WGA WASN'T STRIKING AGAINST THE GRAMMY'S. MTO IS SUCH A JOKE. CAN'T HATE NOW BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE ARE PROVING YOU WRONG AND ARE PERFORMING?

RIHANNA'S PERFORMING WITH THE TIME - SHE WON'T HAVE TO SING MUCH AND WILL AD LIP LITTLE WORDS WHILE NOT DANCING TO GET THE LITTLE VOICE SHE HAS OUT.

BEYONCE AND TINA IS THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE SHOW, BUT I HOPE BEYONCE PERFORMS OR WINS EARLY SO I CAN TURN TO SOMETHING ELSE. I'M ALSO LOOKING FORWARD TO CARRIE UNDERWOOD.


Micaii

C you are a guy? oh I am so embarrassed lol, and I agree with your descriptions lol my bad!



lovelione

nice. i love um both !


remy

Mary is gonna outsing Rihanna's *** all the way back to her home planet, what the hell were they thinking?

It should have been Mary and Kelis Cole- I mean Keyshia Cole, or Fantasia, or someone else. Someone good.

Janet and Cici!!!!


aurevoir

looking forward to seeing Mary, and Tina.


Marysman

O lAWD MARY GON SET IT OFF! LIKE ALWAYS! WOW ALL THESE POWERFUL BLACK WOMEN IN THA SAME BUILDIN 1 NITE! AMAZIN


GX

STOP BEING SO M*THAF*CKIN BIASED MTO!!! if you gonna post shii post EVERYTHING. which would include the fact that the time WANTED to perform with rihanna at the grammy's. and stop half-saying cuz this is making it seem like rih/mary are performin together which isn't true. (tunin into mary,recording rih/time's,muting carrie and the foo fighters lmao,skipping over certain performers already announced and enjoying everything else)


bossychick

Beyonce and Tina will be the highlight of the evening anyway so it don't matter who else is performing.

Love Mary though she does her thang!

Rihanna will lip-snyc like everyone else has said and her performance will be forgotten and as usual Beyonce will be the most talked about at the Grammy's. LOL Can't wait!


She_So_Fly

Ooohhh Yess Ma-ry Maaaaa-ry (I was singing that..LOL)!! Can't wait!


Business

B is gonna do her thang


unfoolish15

tempertease

tatibrown

SoSerious4life

MARY NEED TO TAKE THAT WIG OFF! I DON'T LIKE THAT SH*T. MARY YOU ARE GETTING TO OLD FOR THAT LOUD AS COLOR IN YOUR HEAD.


SoSerious4life

I HONESTLY DON'T THINK THAT THE GRAMMYS IS GONNA BE GOOD. THEY ALWAYS PUT THE BLACK PEOPLE LAST. JUST TO GET THE BLACK VIEWERS. TO KEEP YOU WATCHING THE SHOW. THE GRAMMYS IS TRULY OVERRATED. I HOPE BEYONCE DON'T PERFORM. PLEASE DON'T LET HER PERFORM. LET SOMEBODY ELSE SHINE ***!


jazzlesmama

Ri is so pretty. She needs to dance more.
