Commentary - I am sorry, while Fun. will probably be nominated, I refuse to put them on this list in the hopes that the Academy realizes that they were The Format for years, and that they are not new at all (although they are bad about ignoring the past, so my guess is that in my final predictions they'll make the cut). That being said, I think that Gotye will probably make the cut although they are probably going to end up being a one hit wonder, and not being new either, so apparently I am a hypocrit. Frank Ocean is probably the frontrunner, due to his prowless in other categories. At least one big pop act (Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber) gets nominated despite lack of talent, so look for Carly Rae Jepson and the annoying One Direction to get a nod, if for nothing else, then at least for ratings. In the final slot, I think one of the British songstresses are going to make the cut. Although I would love to see both Ellie Golding and Jessie J. make the cut, I am going with Golding because her Lights is a little more recent that Domino, and so she may be more on people's minds.

I personally don't think Carly Rae Jepsen or One Direction are really that annoying, but do agree that Jessie J is quite talented.
ReplyDeleteJessie J has a new tune from the film Silver Linings Playbook that leaked online...and is getting some great buzz..I hope it helps her. I think she's so amazing.
