Billie will likely win. But as usual, Ariana is being underestimated despite getting into Pop Duo/Group with a flop single over major hits… Still feel like there is sympathy and good will for Ariana. People discounted her win for Sweetener last year, but it’s pretty apparent that Ariana is well respected for her how she has handled consecutive…[Read more]

On paper, it looks like Billie Eilish has what she needs to win. Her album got into Best Engineered Album and her brother is nominated for Producer of the Year for producing her album alone… who votes for the nominations in those categories?

Both of their latest efforts were critically acclaimed and deserve to be nominated.

Hey, Ma in ROTY is so weird to me, but I love Bon Iver. Despite that BRP pick, I think Vampire Weekend is a stronger bet for Alt Album, having also gotten into Best Rock Song.

I’d vote for Lana or VW in AOTY, but I think the race is wide open.

Yaaaaas Lana, Vampire Weekend, Ariana, and Bon Iver!!

Happy for Lizzo and Billie as well.

Silly that Solange was paid dust… and Igor deserved AOTY more than 7…

Lana has gotten into PVA before with much less hype. Will be a bigger challenge to get into AOTY, but I’m betting on it.

I also feel like Maggie Rogers could surprise, but she just seems so obviously weaker than Billie, Ariana, Gaga, AND Lana…

Lizzo checks every box. There’s no reason why she should miss AOTY.

There are several locks for AOTY and this year ain’t that weak. Could prove to be very competitive to win.
