Yeah, the country folks will be all over Chris Stapleton. But Kendrick deserves to win. I wouldn't discount an Alabama Shakes win here. They remind me a lot of Arcade Fire on the underdog critical acclaim rock act + Mumford Sons, winning AOTY after losing BNA.

People always underestimate Kelly, and just when they count her out she gets a #1 (Stronger) and pulls an upset over Florence! She's the female with the most pop vocal wins of all time, anyone who didn't see a nomination for her is kinda crazy. Grammys love her, they love her voice.

Its because TALENT always win.

Sorry but PxP was awful. And that just shows how much of a joke the Grammys can be. I'm not saying Kelly isn't talented, but there where much better contenders for Pop Song and Pop Vocal album.

I hope Flo snatches the pop vocal album grammy as well.

Grammys award a combination of success, quality, and general industry status.

And I heard Girl Crush quite a bit, I assume it must've more than "barely charted"

I'm listening to it now and it's just another country pop song with nothing more than Cruise etc. Extremely local, also.

if TPAB or 1989 don't win AOTY Ill punch someone

[Jeiboy]

if ONLY D Angelo was nominated in the Album of the Year..that couldve gave Kendrick and Chris Stapleton some upset.

I stopped taking the Grammys seriously last year when Sia was paid dust anyway

Songs that barely charted can't be defined songs of the year though

The Grammys supposedly award talent, not popularity.

This! I think shell win again this year!

I feel like rap/urban will come out hard for Kendrick this year. This will probably be their first time in the longest voting for anything.

Wow at TIHTY. Slay mama

Disgusted at KC noms.

Yas at Florence and Girl Crush

Not really. It's supposed to be about quality. That doesn't always go hand in hand with talent.

Why is this Nicki stan mad?

The Pinkprint was average and thankfully relegated to the Rap field, where she will thankfully lose.

Nominations are mostly a mess. No Madonna, no Carly, no Marina, no Lana, no Ciara, no Azealia,

But this means the Grammys got it right though.

Also, is no one realizing that Lana's technically nominated in Album of the Year?

Justin is so taking this now that Lean On isn't involved

I was so sure Lean On was gonna win it but I guess Justin's first Grammy is coming

Queen!

Rock Voters will go to Alabama
Pop Voter will be split between Taylor and The Weeknd
Country voters will vote Chris and maybe a small amount still has a soft spot for Taylor
Urban voters will vote for Kendrick.

I think so far Alabama and Kendrick are in the lead.

1. Kendrick
2. Alabama
3. Taylor
4. Chris
5. Weeknd

in terms of odds of winning.

King Kendrick

Coming to snatch.

[onething]

I'm so happy for James Bay, Florence + The Machine, Little Big Town, Ellie Goulding, Alabama Shakes, Elle King, Wolf Alice, Death Cab For Cutie, Tame Impala, Bjork, Lianne La Havas, Leon Bridges and Natalia LaFourcade.

I can't believe Hozier, Father John Misty and Sia were snubbed. That's not cool.
