Record of the Year is about the production of the song, right? Then I don't see why Rude Boy not.
Get a barking dog and attack to it Rude Boy instrumental, there you go, a hit.
I think ya'll forgot about Miranda Lambert. That girl is brilliant especially she goes Country, which is apparently the positive discrimination factor to be winning in Grammy Award.
Empire State Of Mind doesn't have rock/country vibes so at its best, it could only bring a Song Of The Year award home.
Alicia Keys was underperforming. As I Am was a huge album but still only got 1 (one) Grammy home for Superwoman. Don't mind saying she got snubbed, that's all because she's not even creative like she was before.
And Lady A. with ''Need you Now''. It has to win after all the things they got promoted by Grammy last year, seriously.
"No One" won two Grammy awards back in 2008 and 3 Grammys are great for an album.
& I don't think that Tik Tok or Rude Boy will get nominated there, I think that those 3 spots will probably go to Need You Now, Hey Soul Sister & something else
