You really doubt Gaga way too much

Besides no one is a lock to be the years biggest seller because we're 3 months and 1 week into the year. Susan Boyle outsold everyone in the final 6 weeks of the year. So anything can happen.

And with the category changes, there is no more "sweeping". Adele will be lucky to walk away with more than 2 awards.

Adele will sweep the pop awards and even the general field... Gaga's best bet would be the dance categories where she'll be competing with Britney. Unless her album has a lot of ballads then she would have to submit to pop. I really don't think she'll want to submit to dance, though.

Hopefully they'll restart the Female Rap Category.

They're trying to get less specific, not more specific. Rap Female was a lame category, anyways.

I don't know about this. On the one hand, I can understand the decision to streamline the awards. But taking away the male/female distinctions in crowded genres like pop, R&B and country simply feels limiting.

Not here for this change... The fact that everything is merged together and the fact that they CUT so many categories I feel like every one will be going home with a Grammy a piece.. And maybe none. They at least could have kept male & female categories it's going to be way TOO much. At this points Vmas > Grammys imo.

oh no, this sucks.

[Legendtina]

I hope Xtina gives us yet another legendary performance!!!

[thegmangrant]

[Legendtina]

They might as well have Lady Gaga and Beyonce sit on stage so they don't have to walk up all those steps every time the win.

Thank God they didn't move Best Rap/Sung Collab otherwise there won't be any other catergory for RiRi to win...

Why pop vocal and instrumental would be combined is beyond me.

[Swaggie]

Oh ****, it just got INTENSE.
I can't wait for the Grammys.

Why the hell would they restart the Female Rap category just for Nicki?
And watch, if they did her ass would definitely not win.

IKR? And I think they are aiming to eliminate unnecessary categories.

Gaga will sweep the dance field. The Grammys hate Britney. The tightened competition will make it even harder for her to be recognized by them.

I like the changes, especially the male/female one. Makes more sense, imo. All this means is more female domination.

I think people are looking at more of the cons rather than the pros.

Now Grammy wins will be even more prestigious than before because it's going to be harder to win considering 29% of the categories were taken away.

This!!!
