Tomorrow night is the biggest night in music. I personally live for The Grammy Awards. Last year's show was killer, and this year is shaping up to be just as good. Here are my choices on who will win and who should win in the major categories.
Spoiler alert: Adele is going to win a lot.
Record of the year:
Adele- Rolling in the Deep
Bruno Mars- Grenade
Bon Iver- Holocene
Mumford & Sons- The Cave
Katy Perry- Firework
Who will win: Adele- Rolling in the Deep.
I would have liked to see Someone Like you (my favorite song of the year) instead, but that's just my opinion.
Who should win: Adele.
With the exception of Grenade, I love all of these records. If Adele doesn't win, I am crossing my fingers for Bon Iver. Holocene gives me chills every time I listen to it.
Album of the year:
Adele- 21
Rihanna- Loud
Lady Gaga - Born This Way
Bruno Mars- Doo-Wops and Holligans
Foo Fighters- Wasting Light
Who will win: Adele.
The album is without a doubt the most popular album of the year. It is one of those albums people will still be listening to 20 years from now. If Adele doesn't win, it will be a HUGE upset
Who should win: Adele, duh. I must say, Kanye West and Taylor Swift were both robbed. They could of easily replaced Rihanna and Bruno Mars with two more deserving artists. Bon Iver also made a fantastic album. If those three were nominated, I would be a little less confident in Adele's chances.
Song of the year:
Adele- Rolling in the Deep
Bon Iver- Holocene
Kanye- All of the Lights
Mumford & Sons- The cave
Bruno Mars- Grenade
Who will win: Rolling in the Deep. You can quote me on this, Adele is going to win every major category. She deserves it, too.
Who should win: Make no mistake, this is Adele's for the taking, but if anyone were to pull off an upset, I think Kanye could. It's a shame this is his only nomination in the major categories.
Best New Artist:
Bon Iver
Nicki Minaj
J. Cole
Skrillex
The Band Perry
Who will win: Nicki Minaj. It's a toss up, though. I could easily see Bon Iver or The Band Perry taking home the prize. The only reason I am less apt to choose Bon Iver is because he is not a new artist. He's released a couple albums prior to his newest album.
Who should win: Nicki Minaj or The Band Perry. I love Bon Iver, but he's not new. Both Nicki and The Band Perry were HUGE this year. I believe Nicki Minaj has made the biggest impact, though.
Best Pop Solo Performance:
Pink-Fucking Perfect
Adele-Someone Like You
Lady Gaga-You and I
Bruno Mars-Grenade
Katy Perry-Firework
Who will win: Adele. This is a killer category, though. With the exception of Bruno Mars, I would not be upset if someone besides Adele won.
Who should win: Adele or Pink. Someone like you was a fantastic record, but Fucking Perfect was, indeed, fucking perfect. Pink, in my opinion, is one of the most underrated artists. I would not be upset to see her win.
There you have it. Like I said, you're going to hear Adele's name a lot tomorrow. If you hate Adele (let's be honest, who does?) ,then you might want to watch something else.
"The only reason I am less apt to choose Bon Iver is because he is not a new artist."
Most of them aren't, at least not truly.
Also keep in mind last year's Esperanza-Bieber madness. Academy voters may be more like to value perceived talent over impact, so I don't see Minaj as being so straightforward. But considering how weak the category is compared to last year, I could see her taking it as well.
