The Grammy Awards are teaming up with CBS and YouTube on a contest that will see one winner perform on stage at the awards show with The Foo Fighters. Last year, The Academy held a similar contest with Yahoo Music to find a vocalist who ultimately performed with Justin Timberlake at The Grammys. For this year’s contest, they are seeking an instrumentalist and moving the contest from the popular but underused Yahoo site to Web-video behemoth YouTube. The contest is forgoing rock instruments such as guitar and drums for classical instruments, such as violins, saxophones, clarinets and other strings, woodwinds and brass instruments. Interested musicians who are not currently signed by a label can submit 60-second performance clips on a YouTube microsite dedicated to the competition.http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA6516674.html
