Nelly And Kelly To Rock The Grammys
Yahoo! Music, Jan 29, 2003 1:00 pm PST(1/29/03, 1 p.m. ET) -- Rapper Nelly and Kelly Rowland of Destiny's Child will hit the stage for a performance of their Grammy-nominated duet, "Dilemma," at this year's Grammy ceremony. The song is up for two awards, including record of the year and best rap/sung collaboration. "Dilemma" had a strong hold on Number One on the Billboard Hot 100 for several weeks in 2002.
During the run, Rowland shared what it was like scoring another Number One hit. "Every Number One single that you get is a blessing," Kelly said. "This song with Nelly is a blessing because you don't come across Number One singles everyday, and it's a blessing above anything, so I'm just glad I got another Number One single under my belt."
In addition to Nelly and Kelly Rowland, Coldplay, Faith Hill, Bruce Springsteen, and Norah Jones are among the first wave of Grammy performers to be announced. The 45th Annual Grammy Awards will be televised live on February 23 from 8-11:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
