The Grammy Awards used to offer a dry lineup of performers, but not this year...

New performances were announced today, including T.I. and Justin Timberlake. The hip-hop palette is also going to be mixed with a watch-worthy trio performance of "Swagga Like Us" featuring, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, and Kanye West (a.k.a. Martin Louis the King Jr.). Los roqueros are also dominating the mic with modern power players like Radiohead (who are up for five Grammy's) rocking the stage on February 8th.

La loca Katy Perry, 'Viva la Vida' Coldplay, country songstress Carrie Underwood, and Los Jonas Brothers are only a few of the other pop stars hitting the stage. Now we are just wondering dónde están los Latinos????? Hopefully, Wisin y Yandel get added in the upcoming announcements. What other Latino artists do you think should hit the stage? [MTV News]

Haven't listened to Mexican newcomer Ximena Sariñana yet? What are you waiting for? She isn't on Descubre and Download for nothing!

We can't stop playing Ximena's debut album Mediocre on repeat since getting our manos on it (perk of working in the music industry). To whom does la cantante attribute her wide range of musical influences? Ximena gives props to her musician parents and Pearl Jam; these are just a few sources of inspiration that shape her unique sound:

Pues, bueno, yo decidí que quería hacer música ya de lleno cuando escuché a Radiohead, y Pearl Jam, y Fiona Apple y de ahí fue que decidí estudiar música. Entonces a partir de ahí, empecé a hacer todo tipo de cosas, escribir canciones para soundtracks, empecé a tocar con tríos, cuartetos, y big bandas, y estándares de jazz, hasta que finalmente se desembocó todo en este proyecto que es mi primer disco de solista.

Mix that all up and what do you get? Some call her the Mexican Norah Jones. Que piensas? [MTV Tr3s Radio Noticias]
