Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus (yes, together), Adele, Estelle (with Kanye West in tow), and Chris Brown have been added to the bill for Sunday night’s stuffed-with-performers Grammy telecast, which is also going to feature a Four Tops tribute fronted by original Top Duke Fakir, Jamie Foxx, and Ne-Yo. I am guessing that, given the number of people scheduled to warble and strum during the course of the telecast, the actual number of awards given will be low, but I guess that’s what the Internet is for. (Unless we’re in for a long night of medleys, in which case, my liveblogging skills will be stretched to their absolute limit.) Full roster of announced-so-far performers after the jump!

@The Illiterate: i wonder if that’s going to be jamie foxx’s job?
@2ironic4u: I think it’d be better if Paul McCartney and Dave Grohl played it.
I really hope Taylor and Miley play “Forever & Always” and at least two of the Jonas Brothers explode.
@beefheartfan: Can’t be any worse than the year they paired Foo Fighters with Chick Corea.
How ironic would it be if Radiohead played “Creep” at this?
“Paul McCartney feat. Dave Grohl”…I have a headache just thinking about it.
This is just the pop/rock/R&B/country roster of performers, right?
Where’s the part where they run the risk of boring the kids with people in tuxes and evening gowns, playing good-for-you music?
@Chris Molanphy: Yeah, where’s the opera?
Also, I love Ne-Yo, but somehow I can’t see him subbing for Levi Stubbs.
