GRAMMYs 2009 Update: One Day to the Big Show!

While rain came pouring day yesterday, I spent a fantastic day at the Staples Center getting ready for the big show on Sunday.

I settled myself in the media room and roamed around the arena to prepare myself for the event tomorrow. I've started to live blog via Twitter keeping all of you up to date with brief updates and photos.

Yesterday, it was second day of rehearsals for the show. Several artists went through their performance for Sunday often cut up by the stage director and their choreographers to make sure all the camera angles work and the performance will be top-notch.

I saw Rihanna, Kanye West with Estelle, Chris Brown, Kenny Chesney and Katy Perry perform. I can't reveal any details, but make sure to catch the telecast on Sunday to see their performances.

Today, Radiohead, Coldplay (with Jay-Z) and U2 are rehearsing. Unfortunately, all of these bands have explicity requested that no audience, media and Academy staff members are at their rehearsals, so I can give you updates about that. Make sure to long on to GRAMMY.com, Twitter and ArjanWrites.com for all the scoop.
