The Recording Academy and CBS.com today announced the third installment of My GRAMMY Moment for the 51st GRAMMY Awards with current GRAMMY-nominated pop artist Katy Perry.
From today through Feb. 6, music fans can upload a 30- to 60-second video of themselves singing along to a portion of Perry's current GRAMMY-nominated song "I Kissed A Girl" to www.cbs.com/grammys. 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 51st Annual GRAMMY Awards performance on Music's Biggest Night, allowing them to virtually share music's biggest stage with one of music's newest stars. Previous My GRAMMY Moment musicians include Justin Timberlake and Foo Fighters. Additional GRAMMY performances will be announced shortly.
"Every music fan wants to live the rock and roll fantasy by being on stage and having people cheer for you," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. "We are very excited that this year's installment of My GRAMMY Moment allows numerous online fans to be an integral part of a performance. We're delighted to have Katy Perry join us for this latest experience given her vast Internet presence, which truly reflects the way in which many music fans consume and engage in music today, online and otherwise."
"We're excited to bring this truly interactive experience from online to on-air," said Joe Ferreira, sr. vice president/GM of CBS Audience Network. "It's tremendous to have an artist like Katy onboard. She has an immense online fan base and we look forward to seeing what music fans bring to the table in this venture."
"I am very excited to be a first-time GRAMMY nominee and new Recording Academy member this year, and even more thrilled to perform on music's biggest stage in February," said Perry. "I'd love to share my first GRAMMY experience with all my fans, so I encourage you to submit your videos now!"
