Fantastic Predictions. Job Well Done.

I agree with like 97% of this. Mine are somewhat similar too.

All I know is Foster the People better get at least two or three nominations and take a Grammy home.

Is that a hint ?

[Achilles.]

Dear God... 10 performances in an hour, plus reading off noms in major categories?!


So... These performers are the ones who won't be performing at the actual Grammys, right? I wanted Gaga to have 3 consecutive years performing at the Grammys

If Aldean, Sugarland and Band Perry are all performing here, it must mean Taylor and some country male/ group will perform at the actual show...

If everything didn't line up so perfectly I would think it was lip-synched.

Unbelievable vocals

Foster & Katy better get those noms

No, not because they're performing at the nominations concert doesn't mean they won't perform at the actual Grammys. They still can

0 out of 10 predict 4, Femme Fatale, or My Kinda Party

There's no way Lady Antebellum's getting nominated...


Adele, Taylor, Gaga, Kanye and Tony are the favorites

asdfklmasñlfmasfd 0 are rooting for Britney and Beyoncé

Oh... Well I still expect Taylor to be performing... It's time to redeem that "career-ending" performance, especially since she's likely to be the most-nominated artist in the country field. (She needs to perform either Long Live or Enchanted, although I'd be fine with Dear John or Last Kiss).

Hopefully Gaga performs; the stage will need her theatrics.

That would mean a new single by then, because I doubt Marry the Night is going to last until then. A Hair or Americano performance would be amazing.

I'm thinking that '4' will edge out Born This Way for AOTY, to be honest. I liked your predictions though.
