.
4. Lady Gaga - You and I
5. Beyoncé - Best Thing I Never Had
I think Gaga and Bey are in the toughest positions, and are liable to be kicked out by any of the following:
6. Pink - ****in' Perfect
7. Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts
8. Kelly Clarkson - Mr. Know It All
9. Taylor Swift - Back to December
What say yins?

Surprisingly I would rather P!nk be nominated than Bey this year.

I thought Paul Simon might take Gaga's AOTY slot for a little bit (with him and Adele, that'd be two pop slots) but now that Gaga has been granted two performance slots at the nominations show I'm thinking that Gaga will get in and the geezer vote will go to Tony Bennett repping the traditional pop field. 
So my final predictions for AOTY are:
Adele - 21
Jason Aldean - My Kinda Party
Tony Bennett & Various Artists - Duets II
Lady Gaga - Born This Way
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (*)
(*) - possibly replaced with Taylor Swift or Jay-Z/Kanye West.
My ROTY/SOTY/BNA predix remain the same.

AOTY NOMINEES
4, Beyoncé
21, Adele
Bon Iver, Bon Iver
Born This Way, Lady GaGa
So What Or So Beautiful, Paul Simon
I'm not sure who all is nominated in the SOTY, ROTY, etc. awards but I expect Adele to split the SOTY/ROTY vote with RITD/SLY. Or maybe they'll both get nominated. But everyone keeps overlooking SLY and it's better than RITD. Unless she didn't nominate that song. It would be a shame if she didn't.

All I know is if WTT, MBDTF, and 4 all went against each other so Kanye technically had a hand in 3 of the album of the year nominees, it would be one of the greatest receipts of all time.

* She had a great and outstanding year in music
* very good and solid sales
Plus Loud features:
*Three #1 hits
*A grammy winner song: Only girl (in the world)
*A collab. with Eminem
Does she have any chance for the "Album of the year" category like "Teenage Dream" did last year?
