LAURIN SYDNEY, CNN ANCHOR: You may not realize this, but Eminem is not the only one that is making headlines at this year's Grammys. LynnMarie has made it into the history books as the first female accordion player to be nominated for a Grammy in the polka category. You heard it here first. Joining us again with all the Grammys all the time is Sherri Sylvester at the Staples Center -- Sherri.</s>SHERRI SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, I'm here at the Staples Center. We are on the red carpet and we will keep you updated throughout the day on the Eminem controversy, the protest. We can tell you he is performing with Elton John at the very end of tonight's show. But of course, not all the nominees come here in the spirit of controversy. Many are here in the spirit of celebration. With that, I introduce you to LynnMarie, nominated for the best polka album, the very first female ever.</s>LYNNMARIE: That's right.</s>SYLVESTER: Is that a controversy that we haven't been covering?</s>LYNNMARIE: You know, probably a little bit. It's kind of neat to be the first girl. It's a mostly male-dominated genre of music.</s>SYLVESTER: But you're trying to hip it up a little bit.</s>LYNNMARIE: We are. We're trying hard to change that stereotype when you think polka.</s>SYLVESTER: All right and you're here with Steve. You're going to give us a little sample of you music for our viewers.</s>SYDNEY: And good luck to you.
