Watch the 2011 Grammy Awards Live Stream

2011 Grammy Awards Live Stream: You can watch the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards live tonight (February 13) on CBS at 8PM ET/PT from the Staples Center in Los Angeles.

Eminem is the leading Grammy nominated artist with 10 nods this year including the coveted “Album of the Year” nomination for his seventh studio album “RECOVERY”. The rapper’s album is the biggest selling album in the US for 2010 and it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 741,000 copies in its first week.

Bruno Mars who’s been nominated for seven Grammys including “Song of the Year” came in second to Eminem. His debut single, “Just The Way You Are,” has generated over 90 million views on YouTube, and his collaborations with other Grammy nominees resulted in some of the year’s biggest hits.

Jay-Z, Lady Antebellum, and Lady Gaga on the other hand earned six nods each while Drake, Mumford & Sons, Florence and the Machine, Justin Bieber and jazz bassist/singer Esperanza Spalding are nominated for best new artist.

Exciting performances will be delivered by Eminem, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Drake, Arcade Fire, Christina Aguilera, Muse, Usher, Bob Dylan and Bruno Mars.

Mick Jagger and Barbra Streisand, the recipient of the MusiCares Person of the Year award, will also make vocal contributions. And with Katy Perry performing her current hit Firework, special effects from the arena should literally be explosive.

A special tribute will also be given for Aretha Franklin. Among those to honor the legendary Queen of Soul will be Yolanda Adams, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Martina McBride and Florence Welch. Franklin, 68, made her first public appearance since undergoing surgery when she turned out to watch the Miami Heat-Detroit Pistons match Friday night with Jesse Jackson.
