HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Jennifer Hudson and Carrie Underwood have been added to the list of performers for the 51st Annual Grammy Awards, organizers announced Monday.
Hudson received three nominations for this year's awards: Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Spotlight"), Best R&B Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals ("I'm His Only Woman," featuring Fantasia), and Best R&B Album ("Jennifer Hudson").
Underwood, meanwhile, is up for Best Female Country Vocal Performance ("Last Name"). The former "American Idol" victor is already a three-time Grammy winner.
Hudson and Underwood will be joining previously announced performers Kenny Chesney, Coldplay, Lil Wayne, Katy Perry and the Jonas Brothers.
As previously announced, Perry will be featured in this year's "My Grammy Moment" segment. Produced in partnership with CBS.com, "My Grammy Moment" allows music fans to upload a 30- to 60-second video of themselves singing along to a portion of Perry's "I Kissed A Girl" to www.cbs.com/grammys through Feb. 6. Videos will be voted on by fans and the public-at-large, and the most popular videos will be shown as part of Perry's performance at this year's ceremony.
The Grammy Awards will be held on Feb. 8 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
