Cheek to Cheek is definitely the far superior one and more deserving of that Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. |
Regardless of quality, Barbra has some things against her. Tony Bennett has won that category 11 times and has only lost to Michael Buble twice. Barbra has lost that category eight or nine times, so Tony Bennett automatically gets the upper hand. However, this year gives Barbra the best chances she has ever had, especially if her album is a huge seller during voting period. Tony & Gaga are the frontrunners, but Barbra wouldn't be a huge shock. Her losses could actually work in her favor (or not).
