Nah. THis Is America was a great win. And if it was to lose to any song it shouldn’t have been to Shallow.

1989 winning over TPAB – isnt a bad win. People are just upset at the fact that Taylor won again but 1989 rightfully was a great album and ticked all the boxes. folklore does not.

We Know why 25 won. The last album that will likely…[Read more]

Beck – Uneventful Days
FKA twigs – sad day
The Weeknd – Blinding Lights
Coldplay – Trouble in Town
Rina Sawayama – Bad Friend

alternate:

Anderson .Paak – Lockdown
H.E.R – I can’t Breathe

If they want to include a Black Lives Matter video.

At some point he has to be tired.

UPDATED SEPTEMBER PREDICTIONS (assuming The Weeknd goes full Pop)

Best Pop Solo Performance:

“blinding lights” • The Weeknd
“circles” • Post Malone
“don’t start now” • Dua Lipa
“everything I wanted• Billie Elish
“watermelon sugar” • Harry Styles

6th say so – Doja Cat

best pop/duo group:

“exile” • Taylor Swift f/Bon Iver
“Orphans” • Coldpl…[Read more]

You’re always “hearing” things.

Megan is starting off right.

Top 3 is definitely Don’t Start Now, Cool and Pretty Please.

He had 2 albums in contention but still the committee could’ve still included him.

Maybe they wanted an even easier Adele win.

Yes. I can see it getting in if voters are lazy and name checks Weeknd.

Those were 5 nominee lineups. He’s getting in both.

It took you this long?

Best Country Solo Performance:

“The Bones” – Maren Morris
“Chasin’ You” – Morgan Wallen
“What Are You Going to Tell Her?” – Mickey Guyton
“Bluebird” – Miranda Lambert
“Starting Over” – Chris Stapleton

Best Country Song:

Gaslighter, The Chicks
One Night Standards, Ashley McBryde
betty, Taylor Swift
I Hope, Gabby Barrett
The Bones, Maren…[Read more]

No. We would need to see the lineup tbh. But they are likely to be nominated.

I think The Chicks will be snubbed. I see them getting in Country Duo and Song though for Gaslighter.

And that’s it.

Savage is a bigger cultural moment than WAP. Let’s not confuse shock factor as impact. From the countless TiKTok videos to the dance routines to the quotable lyrics. Plus the hype behind the Beyoncé remix. Savage is a general field contender. WAP isn’t.

But WAP will likely win Rap Performance if it gets in.

Relevance?

As far as diversity goes this year. I don’t think the Grammys will make it as obvious as The Emmys but I can see each GF category being at least 50% black.

AOTY: The Weeknd, Roddy Ricch, RTJ4, Brittany Howard
ROTY: The Weeknd, DaBaby/Roddy, Anderson .Paak, Doja Cat, Megan
SOTY: The Weeknd, Alicia Keys, H.E.R, Megan
BNA: Doja, Summer Walker,…[Read more]

Eww at the thought of Lewis Capaldi repeating.

I have:

Blinding Lights – The Weeknd
The Bones – Maren Morris
Adore You – Harry Styles
I Can’t Breathe – H.E.R
Gaslighter – The Chicks
SAVAGE – Megan thee Stallion f/ Bey
I Want you to Love Me – Fiona Apple
Underdog – Alicia Keys

Alicia, Fiona and The Chicks are clearly filler here imo.

I could see folklore and Future Nostalgia making it in as the mainstream picks.

I’m also entertaining the idea of Stuck Wit U beating Rain on Me in Pop Duo/Group for the Ariana slot. I am not underestimating Scooter Braun when it comes to campaigning. I have no doubt he would rather have a song (that he cowrote) that has two of his biggest artists featured on that debuted at #1 as his main focus.

The fact that he didn’t have…[Read more]
