"my humps" pop?

2 grammys expert have predicted Record of the year


David Schnelwar Prediction


Darrin Dortch Prediction

and this is just because you are a shakira fan

what does this have to do with shakira ? I doubt she will win record of the year if she wins anything it will only be BEST POP COLLABORATION WITH VOCALS its her biggest shot ..

I don't know why you didn't put Beyonce in any POP categories...

This list actually looks fairly solid. A bit too mainstream, but whoever put this together more or less paid attention to what the grammy committee usually pays attention to.
I assume, though, that these are predictions and not leaked shortlist compilations?

This is much more like i expected.

Bob Dylan is going to win Album Of The Year and there is nothing that will change my mind about that. Even if I want Beck or The Gnarls to win. And go TV On The Radio!

i think album of the year is between Bob Dylan & Gnarls Barkely.......... i also think KT Tunstall and Natasha Bedingfield will walk out with a grammy in there hands

I don't think KT will win anything, I'm not sure she'll be nominated. The only reason that song got popular was McPhee singing it on American Idol. I hate that song of hers.

A very mainstream list...but somewhat buyable.

this year and last year NARAS has gone 40% critic and 60% commercial sucess....... grammys have becomed more Hip... just to bring a bigger audiance to the award show

My predictions.

The hardest was definitely album of the year. Natasha's buzz is completely gone and I think she will be snubbed. I'm still iffy on Justin's chances this year around.

KT's song had been popular before Mcphee performed it on AI, it just never was popular on pop but it's really big on AC.

Evanescence, Jet, The Killers and Beck's albums, I think are not eligible to enter this year's Grammy since their albums were release after the eligibility year ended.

Here's my prediction in some catergory

Record of the Year
Dixie Chicks: Not Ready to Make Nice
Shakira: Hips Don't Lie
Gnarls Barkeley: Crazy
James Blunt: You're Beautiful
Madonna: Hung Up

Though it will be between Shakira and DCX but who knows

Will Win: Hung Up
Should Win: tie between Hips Don't Lie and Not Ready to Make Nice

Album of the Year
Dixie Chicks: Taking the Long Way
Bob Dylan: Modern Times
John Mayer: Continuum
Justin Timberlake: Future Sex/Love Sound
Christina Aguilera: Back to Basic

Will win: Future Sex/Love Sound
Should win: Modern Times

Song of the Year
Justin Timberlake: Sexyback
Dixie Chicks: Not Ready to Make Nice
Shakira: Hips Don't Lie
KT Tunstall: Black Horse and A Cherry Tree
Kelly Clarkson: Because of You

Will win: Sexyback
Should win: Not Ready to Make Nice

Best New Artist
Natasha Bedingfield
KT Tunstall
Gnarls Barkeley
The Fray
James Blunt
Carrie Underwoods

Will win: The Fray
Should win: All of them

to everything I bolded. I'll update this later.

Anyway if Don't bother gets nominated I'll be more than happy...thats one of my fav songs

Justin a frontrunner for Record Of The Year? What crackhead put that on the list?

I hope Mary J sweeps the Grammy's this year, the breakthrough is a classic. And also hoping Beyonce will add one or two to her already huge collection

congrats to goo carrie,justin, john m nelly furtado. outkast, and so many others i cant think of now

I'm surprised Rihanna's Unfaithful never gets nominated for RnB or Song of The Year...but We Ride is considered.Unfaithful is like one of the biggest songs of 06.Hope Nelly wins something.

Christina or Nelly can nab the Best Female Vocal Performance.Best Dance Recording...hmm...Buttons or S.O.S.

and Why the hell is Justin nominated with SexyBack?My Love deserved better.

0h..Beyonce...i thot B'Day is bad but i guess RTA saved her.Its one of my fav song.Her vocal just soar on that one.

Best New Artist
Pus*ycat Dolls
Panic! At the Disco
Rihanna
KT Tunstall
Carrie Underwood

Those 5 nominees hav made a big impact in the music scene.I'm surprised PCD is being considered for Grammys in like 2 or 3 categories???WoW!
