Videos of Live Grammy Performances

Grammy Video Highlights include Coldplay and the unforgettable performance by Kanye West, T.I., Jay-Z, Lil Wayne and M.I.A. the chicest hip hop mama in her stand-out polka dot ladybug outfit who even on her due date could hold her own with the Rap Pack.

This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Grammys.
Just as soon as YouTubers could get the videos online, others were removed by YouTube for copyright violation by the Grammy committee & viewers get this message instead. So below I loaded MP3s and alternate videos.

GRAMMY PERFORMANCES: WATCH THEM AGAIN HERE.
PopWatch on EW.com have made many of the Grammy live performance videos available from Daily Motion. Unlike YouTube, I find the streaming gets stuck every 30 seconds. However, at least the sound is pretty good.

Cold Play | Jay-Z 

Lost

Simon Baker of The Mentalist introduces Cold Play. Fun Fact: Simon Baker normally doesn't wear his glasses in public but in a post Grammy interview with Ellen Degeneres, he revealed he is so nearsighted that they couldn't blow up the words large enough on the teleprompter that he had to wear his glasses. Turns out many of his fans around the world found him just as dashing as he received many compliments on his unintentional geek chic.
