Future Nostalgia winning Mercury Prize will certainly put Dua as serious contender for AOTY

Why? The last time a Mercury nominated album even got into AOTY was Adele 21.

Savage is a strong ROTY contender

Abel really want people to recognize him as Abel rather than The Weeknd or Khalid. Abel is a cute name, sounds like a grammy sweeper. The Weeknd not so much so is Khalid. Is he the first person to changed his stage name three times?

What???

how would a perfect campaign for the grammys look like? many performances on late night shows, or release a single,…?

Billie Eillish/Finneas 2019 is a textbook campaign.

Is Chloe x Halle really a viable sure bet for the Grammys general field? I feel like they can be easily overshadowed by other not so mainstream picks.

Obviously not a sure bet. They are actually a long shot if anything since their album flopped. But they have been campaigning like crazy and the music is legitimately good.

Voters have nothing against Max Martin. He’s performed poorly in the GF because he works with a lot of hit making pop stars and makes a lot of commercial pop songs. There’s a reason why he won when he worked with Adele and Taylor Swift.

Will Fiona Apple be the only overdue veteran/legend in the General Field?

I have Dua in ROTY, BPVA, and BPSP. I agree she’s being overestimated even at the beginning before the competition came. She’s also losing all 3.

I think he means common critical acclaim picks?

Last year was much weaker and Capaldi could not get in when he should have. Taylor or Beyoncé should have easily been bumped, but they weren’t. This year is even more competitive. Definitely not predicting him over Abel, Post, Taylor, Dua, Billie or Harry.

He blew up too late. Quite a few people called it last year that he’d miss pop solo but make SOTY for that reason. This year voters know his name, not just the song. But yeah it’s so crowded.
