Hey y’all!
The 55th Grammy Awards are happening on Sunday night! Y’all know I love watching award shows, and the Grammys are definitely one of my favorites!
Let’s talk about the big awards. Record of the Year nominees include songs by Kelly Clarkson, fun., The Black Keys, Frank Ocean, and Gotye. While I’d love to see Kelly win for “Stronger”, I think it’s going to come down between fun.’s “We Are Young” and Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know”.
Song of the Year is another category that fun. could win in, but Carly Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” was HUGE this past year! Kelly’s “Stronger” is a nominee here too, so I think any of the three could take it!
Album of the Year has albums from fun., Frank Ocean, Mumford & Sons, The Black Keys, and Jack White. Again, I think fun. is going to take this category!
Best New Artist is a VERY interesting category this year! There are five very different artists in five different genres. We have country cutie Hunter Hayes, pop band fun., up-and-coming rockers Alabama Shakes, R&B hitmaker Frank Ocean, and indie artists The Lumineers. Frank Ocean has been in the headlines more than the others, but this has been the year of fun. for sure! My country boy Hunter definitely has my vote, but my gut tells me fun. is going to sweep the awards this year!
My fingers are also crossed for my girl Carrie Underwood! She’s the only female nominee for Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song, and I’m definitely rooting for her!
I’m looking forward to a fun night of exciting awards and fabulous performances!
Will you be watching?
I’m really hoping Hunter Hayes takes Best New Artist, I love him! :)
I’ve never understood the difference between Record of the Year and Song of the Year. They’re both just singles, right? I’m pulling for Kelly Clarkson– I just love her!
I hope to be watching but unless it’s on between 6 and 7 am I have a hard time sitting down to watch much of anything! I have the same feeling, fun. will sweep. But there was a lot of really good music this past year so I hope the wealth is spread to reflect that.
Hugs!
