Album of the Year
Will Win - Adele "30"
Could Win - Beyonce "Renaissance", Harry Styles "Harry's House", Lizzo "Special", or Brandi Carlile "In These Silent Days"
Should Win - Beyonce "Renaissance"
Commentary - Everyone is picking Renaissance. They believe Beyonce has the narrative, the album was such a smash hit. I want this to happen so bad, and Grammy voters should do this. To be frank, it feels like their continued legitimacy is on the line. But Grammy voters are notorious for sweeps, and for rewarding artists they like, particularly those that have a old-school sound and vibe. I love Adele and 30 was fantastic, and I think voters will continue her reign.
Record of the Year
Will Win - Adele "Easy On Me"
Could Win - Beyonce "Break My Soul", Harry Styles "As It Was", Brandi Carlile "You and Me on the Rock", Lizzo "About Damn Time"
Should Win - Lizzo, Beyonce or Carlile.
Commentary - Again, I expect Adele supremacy. Watch out for Carlile.
Song of the Year
Will Win - Adele "Easy On Me"
Could Win - Taylor Swift "All Too Well", Beyonce "Break My Soul", Harry Styles "As It Was", Brandi Carlile "You and Me on the Rock", Lizzo "About Damn Time"
Should Win - Taylor Swift "All Too Well"
Commentary - If anyone can break the Adele spell, it is Taylor Swift.
Best New Artist
Will Win - Anitta
Could Win - Omar Apollo, Maneskin, Wet Leg, Latto, or Muni Long
Should Win - Omar Apollo
Commentary - Latto is the chart topper, Maneskin and Wet Leg are rock's next big things, and Omar Apollo and Muni Long are great artists. I think that Brazilian icon and huge worldwide superstar who has finally reached American audiences Anitta will be the popular choice.
