I don't think she has.

Ace Reject

Her album gets released next month.

She's in. I've got a feeling.

Gosh. It turns out all it takes for one to become an album artist is a streak of flop singles. Only Beyonce.

Gal, you're on the edge of trolling.

Katy's released "Katy On A Mission," but usually the committee likes people who have some type of success. But ever since Esperanza Spalding, I think it's anyone's game

She got that CRITICAL ACCLAIM. Who the **** else gets a 8.2 at Pitchfork for their debut?

She in gals. I feel it in me bones.

MrHiphy

I would love to see Katy win, but I think Miguel deserves a nomination. He has one of the best male R&B albums I've heard in a while.

Worldwidewoman

Best Rap/Sung Collaboration ( My Prediction) so far.....

Look at Me Now by Chris Brown featuring Busta Rhymes & Lil Wayne.
All of the Lights by Kanye West featuring Rihanna.
Motivation by Kelly Rowland featuring LiL Wayne
Lighters by Bad Meets Evil featuring Bruno Mars
My Last or Lift Off

I really think Chris Brown have the most chance to win this so far.

Cap10Planet

Marsha could have been eligible had it not been for stupid technicalities.

They will throw in someone we've never heard of.

Record of the Year is such a crap shoot. There are like 2 or 3 songs that truly deserve nominations there this year.

Since Chris is rapping and not singing, I think they will throw "Look at Me Now" in Best Rap Performance.

Rap/Sung Collabo will go to Lift Off
ROTY will go to RITD

Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see her nominated but I don't really see it as a possibility.

I hope Nicola releases material in the US so she can get a nod in 2013

And I just noticed Esperanza Spalding got nominated after her THIRD album came out

Cap10Planet

I notice there are people predicting Tony Bennett for AOTY. I thought the NARAS was past these cover/duet albums by these old people (i.e Ray Charles/Herbie Hancock) in AOTY.

I pop up in this thread once every few months and I'm not subscribed to any Beyonce-related thread. Not that I don't think you have a point, it's just that the contrast with verified trolls like Gui Blackout makes it hard for me to feel guilty. :shake:

Venus

Wait, Ellie Goulding can be nominated for BNA, right? RIGHT?

Georges

will it b too late if kesha releases her album in september?

Venus

I HIGHLY doubt Ke$ha is going to release her album in September, even though she will NOT get nominated.

DJ Wolff

No matter when Ke$ha releases an album, she won't be a factor at the Grammys whatsoever. Sorry.

Here's what I'm thinking for THE BIG FOUR.

Album of the Year
Adele, 21
Jason Aldean, My Kinda Party
Beyoncé, 4
Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Kanye West, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy

Song of the Year (awarded to the songwriters)
Adele, Rolling in the Deep
Jason Aldean/Kelly Clarkson, Don't You Wanna Stay
Marsha Ambrosius, Far Away
Bruno Mars, Grenade
Katy Perry, Firework

Record of the Year (awarded to the producers/artists)
Adele, Rolling in the Deep
Lady Gaga, Born This Way
Mumford and Sons, The Cave
Blake Shelton, Honey Bee
Kanye West, All of the Lights

Best New Artist
Katy B
The Band Perry
Bon Iver
Foster the People
Nicki Minaj

MESSY

Katy B will NOT get in BNA over Miguel. The only BRIT that stands a chance of even getting a mention this year is Miss Eliie. All Of The Lights which I would love (because that means Rih gets a nod) is NOT getting in ROTY neither is Gaga for Born This Way. Beyonce getting in AOTY is iffy. We'll see.

Deemy

And finally my picks for BNA is signed sealed and delivered.

The Band Perry (country)
Foster The People (rock)
Bon Iver (alternative)
Miguel (R&B)
Nicki Minaj (RAP)

spoilers; Christina Perri, Ellie Goulding.
