Just awesome like that
I'm willing to wager that Adele will sweep the three big awards.
EDIT: Also, here's some incentive for people to watch— BEACH BOYS REUNION. WITH BRIAN WILSON ACTUALLY THERE. HOLY HELL.

I've watched the Grammys out of habit since 2010, so I guess I'll do it this year?

IMO Skrillex should get New Best Artist and Best Dance Recording,(*Not saying that he's the best new artist, or that he made the best dance recording, but that he's the best out of the nominees for both*) & Daft Punk should get "Best Score Soundtrack For Visual Media".
Other than that, I have no opinions.

The only reasons I'm watching are to see if Megadeth and Bela Fleck get a Grammy and the jazz nominations seem at least somewhat interesting.

Well if Skrillex is the best choice of their picks of best new artist all you can do is laugh.
And die a bit inside.

Adele will win almost all of the awards she's nominated for. Best New Artist will probably be The Band Perry or something like that, I doubt it will be Nicki Minaj because they tend to avoid the uber-popular in that category. Quite honestly I've never heard a song by 3 of the nominees anyway so I can't tell you (I don't listen to rock or metal that much).
Also, I do not give one fuck about the Grammys because they try to award the most universally pleasing music (i.e. does not piss off old people) rather than the best.

Oh good, I was waiting for someone to say that. *takes a shot*
frozen in time
Ponies who say
...And Whitney Houston is dead. Younger tropers may not remember her outside of her fall from grace that consumed the later half of her career. But she was once thought to be...the ADELE(?) of her generation(80s-early90s).
So I wonder what tribute the Grammys will quickly throw together. I'm guessing something along the line of what the BET awards did for Michael Jackson.

That's just sad about Whitney Houston. She really seemed like she was getting better. And she was supposed to perform at the grammys too.
@dxman: Thanks for the links. Will check them out! Also I agree about the Grammys. That's why I said that Nicki Minaj won't win.
Moronic, pretentious fan
Dream Theater are up for the hard rock/metal one, if I remember correctly. I'm not exactly crossing my fingers, though, I reckon it'll go to Megadeth or one of the non-metal acts.
Because I choose to.
Well then what is the best? Exactly.
The Grammys can never win on that aspect because no one can define what is "best". If they tried to award what they thought was best, they would get even more backlash(and tons less credibility/viewers?)
Seriously, what the hell is the "best" music out there then? How can you define that and display it to millions around the world? The Grammys would have their heads even further up their asses if they tried to define the "best music"... think about it

BEACH BOOOOYS :D AND THEY'RE PLAYING GOOD VIBRATIONS :D :D

Lazy?
Sir Paul's performance was pretty good. What did everyone else think of it?
I'm kind of surprised Dave Grohl had the gall to wear a Slayer shirt at such a mainstream event. Too bad his performance kind of sucked; he's capable of much better (but I hate that song anyway, so it's no big loss on my part).

It was very chill. Looking forward to him doing Beatles songs, though.
And sheesh, does Deadmau5 really have this many fans?

That did seem a bit hypocritical, but eh.
EDIT: You know one thing I find hilarious? All of Adele's acceptance speeches seem like one speech broken up into several parts. It's amazing how genuinely humble she seems about winning so many awards.

I'd say she's the most deserving of all of them.

This award ceremony is on Sunday. Obviously I won't be able to sit up and watch it, because there's a time difference and I have classes the next morning. Still, I'll certainly try to record it if I can.
Does anybody have any predictions regarding who will win, or any other thoughts about this?
(I acknowledge that this thread will be probably too mainstream...)
