Justin Timberlake is taking part in an X Factor type show, “My Grammy Moment” developed by the Recording Academy to bring buzz to this year’s awards.

Wannabe singers will compete for the chance to perform with J.T. at the upcoming ceremony, which will be broadcast live around the world from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 11.

Putting yourself into the running is easy: submit a one-minute video of yourself performing a cappella either Alicia Keys’ “If I Ain’t Got You,” Faith Hill’s “Breathe,” Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do with It,” Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” Mariah Carey’s “Vision of Love,” Aretha Franklin’s “Respect,” “Luther Vandross’ “Dance with My Father,” or Timberlake’s own “Cry Me a River.” All entries must be recieved through Yahoo! Music by Jan. 3 and contestants must not currently by signed to a recording contract, nor be under 18.

A committee of singers, songwriters, producers and industry VIPs will judge the entries, with a dozen finalists to be named on Jan. 8. The field will be narrowed down by fans to three finalists, who will get to rehearse with Timberlake until a winner is named live during the broadcast – fans will be able to vote for their favourites through the Internet or text messaging up until Timberlake hits the stage.

“I’m happy to participate in this unique approach to discovering unsigned talent, but I’m only a piece of the puzzle,” Timberlake said. “All of you contestants out there should look at this as more than just a chance to duet with me, because it’s really an opportunity to begin your career as a superstar. And I’ll be there to help coach you along.”
