In 2012, Adele swept all the Grammy
awards which she rightfully deserve. This year’s award ceremony is going to be
a little unpredictable. It could an all male club on Sunday.
The fifty fifth Gramm Awards will also
show great performances from Rihanna, Justin Timberlake, Sting, Bruno Mars,
Taylor Swift, The Black Keys, the Lumineers, Frank Ocean, Fun, Dierks Bentley,
Jack White, Mumford & Sons and Dierks Bentley.
There are only four major categories
that really count. Check out some of the industry’s predictions:
Best New Category
This is a category that is harder to
predict because it has several possibilities. While the current favorite is
Frank Ocean, groups like Fun and the Lumineers also have a good chance to win.
Hunter Hayes and the Alabama Shakes are also good contenders. Both Fun and the
Lumineers have a commercial edge than the other artists, but since Ocean had a
meteoric shot to fame, then he might be the winner in this category.
Record of the
year
There are plenty of contenders for this
category. Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger”, Fun’s “We Are Young,” Black Keys’
“Lonely Boy,” Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” Gotye’s
“Somebody that I Used to Know and Frank Ocean’s “Thinkin’ Bout You.”
Many industry insiders think that the
frontrunners for this award are Fun and Frank Ocean. However many people seem
to think that it is a tight competition between Black Keys and Gotye. They
gained the most popularity among all the artists for this category.
Song of the Year
This award is focused on the
songwriters. The possible contenders are: “Call Me Maybe” from Carly Rae
Jepsen, “Stronger” from Kelly Clarkson, “The A Team” from Ed Sheeran, “We Are
Young” from Fun, “Adorn” from Miguel and a song by Janelle Monae. This could be
considered as the category with the less competition. It could come down
between Fun and Carly Rae Jepsen.
Album of the year
This is the largest prize to take for
the night. In this race are Fun, Mumford & Sons, Jack White, Frank Ocean
and Black Keys. The odds are not favorable with Jack White, and many critics
think that it will be a race among Fun, Black Keys, Mumford and Frank Ocean.
