2013 Grammy predictions

[patrickgpe]

i know there are some fellow musicheads on this board so i thought it would be fun to get our predictions in before the show on Sunday. The Grammys are the only award show i watch every year. here is what i am predicting for the major ones. winners in bold:

 

1) Record of the year: (probably the toughest category)

Lonely Boy - The Black Keys

Stronger - Kelly Clarkson

We are Young - Fun

Somebody that I used to Know - Goyte

Thinking bout you - Frank Ocean

We are never ever getting back together - Taylor Swift

 

2) Album of the year: (my most confident category)

El Camino - The Black Keys

Some Nights - Fun.

Babel - Mumford and Sons

Channel Orange - Frank Ocean

Blunderbuss - Jack White

 

3) Song of the Year

The A Team - Ed Sherman

Adorn Miguel Premento

Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepson

Stronger - Kelly Clarkson

We are Young - Jack Antonoff et al

 

4) Best New Artist

Alabama Shakes

Fun

Hunter Hayes

The Lumineers

Frank Ocean

 

Best New artist is a very strong category. All 5 have staying power which is not always the case for this category.
