Oh man that's as much as I'm willing to edit.
Here's the rest: http://www.grammy.com/GRAMMY_Awards/50th_Show/list.aspx

I'm totally rooting for Paramore to beat Amy Winehouse's ass, although I know it definitely has no chance of happening.

[DoubleJ]

My Grammy Predictions and why:

Record Of The Year
* Irreplaceable
Beyoncé
* Umbrella
Rihanna Featuring Jay-Z
* Rehab
Amy Winehouse

One of those 3

Album Of The Year
* Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace
Foo Fighters
* Graduation
Kanye West
* Back To Black
Amy Winehouse

I have a feeling Kanye will get it because he was shut out before.

Song Of The Year
* Hey There Delilah
Tom Higgenson, songwriter (Plain White T's)
* Rehab
Amy Winehouse, songwriter (Amy Winehouse
* Umbrella
Shawn Carter, Kuk Harrell, Terius "Dream" Nash & Christopher Stewart, songwriter
s (Rihanna Featuring Jay-Z)

Here's the thing, whoever doesn't win the record of the year, will win this one.


Best New Artist
* Amy Winehouse

Really now...no explanation needed. And for all the paramore fans out there, they only have one single playing right now.



Best Female Pop Vocal Performance
* Big Girls Don't Cry
Fergie
* Say It Right
Nelly Furtado
* Rehab
Amy Winehouse

I have a feeling fergie will steal this one.


Best Male Pop Vocal Performance
* What Goes Around...Comes Around
Justin Timberlake

Although Seal is my darkhorse pick

Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals
* Hey There Delilah
Plain White T's

The song was just too big for it to be ignored.

Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals
* Beautiful Liar
Beyoncé & Shakira
* The Sweet Escape
Gwen Stefani & Akon
* Give It To Me
Timbaland Featuring Nelly Furtado & Justin Timberlake

I'd be shocked if gwen wins this, and for some reason I can see Beyonce and Shakira taking this one.

Best Pop Vocal Album
* Back To Black
Amy Winehouse

Not even close.

Best Dance Recording
* Do It Again
The Chemical Brothers
* D.A.N.C.E.
Justice
* LoveStoned/I Think She Knows
Justin Timberlake

Too close to call.

Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album
* Trav'lin' Light
Queen Latifah

The category nobody really pays attention to.

Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance
* Only Mama Knows
Paul McCartney
* Radio Nowhere
Bruce Springsteen

One of these vets will take it.

* It's Not Over
Daughtry
* Working Class Hero
Green Day
* If Everyone Cared
Nickelback

The White Stripes

All have legit shots although I could see Daughtry stealing this one seeing as the others have won in the past.


Best Hard Rock Performance
* The Pretender
Foo Fighters
* Sick, Sick, Sick
Queens Of The Stone Age

Two songs that play on my ipod at least 20 times a day...too close to call.

Best Rock Song

* Icky Thump

* The Pretender
Dave Grohl, Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel & Chris Shiflett, songwriters (Foo Fighters)

I think foo fighters take it.

* Alright, Still...
Lily Allen

* Icky Thump
The White Stripes

I am going to say right now that lily allen will take this...but I wouldn't be surprised if the white stripes took it.

Best Female R&B Vocal Performance
* No One
Alicia Keys

Mary's Song is gaining strength but at the wrong time.
* Future Baby Mama
Prince

Just watch what I tell you.

* Same Girl
R. Kelly Featuring Usher
* Hate That I Love You
Rihanna Featuring Ne-Yo


They aren't going to let that fool t-pain near the stage lol! Rihanna will win. I think that the solo artists will make up in the duo categories.

M.S. Eriksen, T.E. Hermansen & Shaffer Smith, songwriters (Rihanna Featuring Ne-Yo)
* No One
Dirty Harry, Kerry Brothers & Alicia Keys, songwriters (Alicia Keys)

Tank

Jill Scott takes it.

* The People
Common
* Show Me What You Got
Jay-Z

The people will win it if for anything else that the song actually had a message.
P.S. Common is LOOOOONNNNGGG Overdue for a grammy.
