SANTA MONICA, Calif. - Justin Timberlake may have said "Bye, Bye, Bye" to his 'N Sync bandmates, but he's looking for a partner to sing with at the Grammys. The Recording Academy, together with CBS Corp. and Yahoo Inc., is holding a contest to find an unsigned artist to perform with the 25-year-old "SexyBack" singer at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, to air live on CBS from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 11.

A lot of great music was released in the fourth quarter of 2006. But as usual, none of it is being considered for tonight’s Grammy Awards. As a comprehensive overview of the year that was in music, the Grammys always were a little slow to recognize the best music at the height of its relevance.

NEW YORK - The Police will reunite to perform at this year's Grammys ceremony, the Recording Academy announced Tuesday.

NEW YORK - The Grammy Awards will open with a meeting of the Material Girl and the virtual world. Madonna and the Gorillaz will perform together for the first time at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, which will be presented Wednesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Facing steadily declining ratings, the Grammys — formerly the top dog of music awards shows — is on the verge of becoming an also-ran in the ever-growing glut of awards ceremonies.

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Rapper 50 Cent, pop singers Justin Timberlake and Beyonce and the hip-hop group OutKast were favorites to grab Grammy Award nominations this year.

The Grammys are the Rodney Dangerfield of award shows — they get no respect. While the Oscars are widely seen as honoring the art of film, commercially successful or not, the Grammys usually are a reflection of album sales.

The Grammys, music's biggest annual showcase, return to the Big Apple Sunday night after a four-year absence.

The conception that no one knows or appreciates an artist until he’s gone doesn’t hold water with Peter Max.

The splintered music world truly coalesces only one night of 365 for the Grammy Awards, and this year was united in the triumph of recovered British soul singer Adele's trophy haul and the tragedy of Whitney Houston's death.

NEW YORK (AP) — Since its beginnings in the 1970s, rap music has transformed from an underground, street-based sound to a definitive part of pop culture, transcending race and becoming one of the strongest — and most prolific — voices of today's generation. But at the Grammy Awards, rap has had a long-lasting losing streak in the top categories.

NEW YORK (AP) - The Grammy Awards are in danger of turning into Eminem's own personal "Groundhog Day."
