2020 Grammy Predictions: Pop

Best Pop Solo Performance
Will Win - Billie Eilish "Bad Guy"
Could Win - Lizzo "Truth Hurts" or Ariana Grande "7 Rings"
Should Win - Lizzo "Truth Hurts" or Taylor Swift "You Need to Calm Down"
Commentary - Lizzo or Swift could surprise, but the Billie Eilish is the hot thing in Pop right now, and Lizzo is probably seen more in the Urban Contemporary/R&B field than Pop. Watch out for Ariana Grande, who could surprise.

Best Pop Duo/Group Performance
Will Win - Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus "Old Town Road"
Could Win - Post Malone feat. Swae Lee "Sunflower"
Should Win - Jonas Brothers "Sucker"
Commentary - God this category is just horrible. I guess the infamous Old Town Road will win, and if not it is probably the dreadful Post Malone. I am actually kind of rooting for the Jonas Brothers, their album was good, and the song was enjoyable.

Best Pop Vocal Album
Will Win - Billie Eilish "when we all fall asleep, where do we go?"
Could Win - Ariana Grande "thank u, next"
Should Win - Billie Eilish "when we all fall asleep, where do we go?"
Commentary - Eilish and Grande are both nominated for Album of the Year. I expect Eilish, who has overall more support across the board, to take the prize.

Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album
Will Win - Michael Buble "Love"
Could Win - Barbra Streisand "Walls"
Should Win - Barbra Streisand "Walls"
Commentary - Three guys, Willie Nelson, Tony Bennett, and Michael Buble have dominated this category in the last decade. Buble has won this category four times. I expect him to win a fifth.
