That's why I called it "wishful thinking", too
I wish Gaga had a chance to win, but yes, this is really between Adele and Foo Fighters. No one else comes close.

Pundits are expecting Adele to sweep the top 3. Internet folks, particularly on this board, do not think she will. I think out of all the AOTY nominees, Adele has the biggest chance at appealing to older voters, which increases her chances in AOTY.
But I would not be shocked at this outcome:
AOTY - Foo Fighters
ROTY - Adele
SOTY - Adele
BNA - Bon Iver
And I really don't think GaGa is winning anything this year...

Which ones?
Gaga and Katy face Adele everywhere, so...... noPE!
Bey is competing against Rihanna twice (AOTY nominee -WMN?- and SOTY nominee -AOTL-).

The Grammys are not going to spread love like that, regardless of the overhaul.

Gaga is not going to win Album of The Year. Only her stans and people tired of seeing Adele slay their faves are the ones who think she can.
Foo Fighters is her only competition there.

I would like Taylor to sweep the country field considering she actually wrote ALL of her own material on this album. I predict 1 to 3 wins.
GaGa and Katy are going home empty-handed.
Rihanna will take home Rap/Sung Collaboration for All of the Lights.
Beyonce will take home Long Form Music Video for I Am..Tour.

I think Bruno Mars' nominations have made him a lock to win Producer of the Year with the Smeezingtons. Paul Epworth is his only competition.

At the nominations concert, the announcer said Bruno Mars was a 2x Grammy winner. Did he really win a Grammy for "**** You" in Best Urban/Alternative Performance? ![huh?](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/7be5c36a.gif) I thought that goes to only the performer/artist, at least that's what it says on the Grammy site.

I think this year's Grammys will mirror one of the past two Grammys...
Scenario 1: 2010=2012.
Quote:
2010: Taylor, Beyonce and Gaga all in all 3 categories. Taylor wins album, Beyonce wins Song, and Gaga wins nothing. A band nominated for both SOTY and ROTY wins ROTY.
2010:
AOTY- Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Black Eyed Peas, Dave Matthews Band
SOTY- Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Kings of Leon, Maxwell
ROTY- Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Kings of Leon, Black Eyed Peas
2012: Adele and Bruno in all 3 categories. Adele wins album, but not SOTY or ROTY. Bruno takes SOTY with a successful pop single while either Bon Iver or Mumford & Sons takes ROTY (both are bands in both categories, but not in AOTY, like Kings of Leon).
2012:
AOTY- Adele, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Foo Fighters
SOTY- Adele, Bruno Mars, Kanye West, Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons
ROTY- Adele, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons
|
Scenario 2: 2011=2012
Quote:
2011: Lady Antebellum and Eminem in all 3 categories. Lady Antebellum wins SOTY and ROTY, lose AOTY to an indie/rock band.
2011:
AOTY: Lady Antebellum, Eminem, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Arcade Fire
SOTY- Lady Antebellum, Eminem, Cee Lo Green, Miranda Lambert, Ray LaMontagne
ROTY- Lady Antebellum, Eminem, Cee Lo Green, BoB & Bruno Mars, Jay Z
2012: Adele and Bruno Mars in all 3 categories. Adele loses AOTY to the indie/rock band, but wins SOTY and ROTY. Bruno gets nothing, like Eminem.
2012:
AOTY- Adele, Bruno Mars, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Foo Fighters
SOTY- Adele, Bruno Mars, Kanye West, Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons
ROTY- Adele, Bruno Mars, Katy Perry, Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons

I looked it up, too and it says that Bruno has won only for Male Pop Solo. "**** You" went to the artist, Cee-Lo. Not sure where the "2x Grammy winner" announcement came from.

Yeah I've seen that too, but he's only won once. The award for "**** You" went to Cee Lo only.

I think the fact that she wrote it all herself gives her a boost in Country Song, which goes to the songwriter. The only other song in the category written by the artist is a Vince Gill/ Allison Krauss collab (Grammy legends)...
Country Album tends to go to the same person who won Album of the Year at the CMAs; it doesn't always though. Jason Aldean won at the CMAs... Hopefully the Grammys yield better results.
Country Solo is a race between Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton and Taylor- the 3 biggest country singles of the year.

I don't know guys. You guys think that they won't give Gaga two for an album that's era has been fairly huge, that also has a Liberal message(damn near everyone in the Entertainment industry gets a hard on for this ![rip](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/rip_zpsec10ede9.gif) ), to a chick that they've denied of an AOTY win for two years in a row?
Yeah, she's against Adele in all three categories, so? Adele is not going to dominate as hard as people think she will. I think that she'll win either three or four of the six categories that she's nominated for.
I think that all of these scenarios have a decent chance of coming true:
Scenario #1: Adele loses BOTH Pop categories to Gaga, only to win AOTY(and either SOTY OR ROTY, Long Form MV too) - Adele wins three, Gaga wins two.
Scenario #2: Adele wins both of the Pop categories, along with her aforementioned non-AOTY GF and MV categories, only to lose AOTY to Gaga - Adele wins four, Gaga wins one(but it's the most prestigious award of the night).
Scenario #3: Gaga snatches one of the Pop categories from Adele(most likely Pop Album), but Adele wins in AOTY and the Pop category that Gaga doesn't win, along with her aforementioned non-AOTY GF and MV categories. - Adele wins four, Gaga wins one. This scenario would also create a feeling of unpredictability for AOTY, as a lot of people would be saying "HOLY **** ADELE DIDN'T WIN THIS MIGHT MEAN THAT SHE WON'T WIN AOTY.".
Whataya guys think about that?
P.S. Why the **** do you guys think that Foo Fighters have a good chance in AOTY? ![too funny](images/smilies/images/smilies/priceless.gif)

I've already explained why Foo Fighters could spoil in AOTY...

For the same reason you think Gaga is going to win. They have been in the business for longer, Gaga has been nominated three times, that doesn't mean she deserves to win.
Some scenarios look possible but it's not only Adele and Gaga.
The Grammys give Pop Solo Performance to "Grenade" and "Firework" before they give it to "You and I".
I don't know why it sounds so crazy and outrageous for some people the thought of Gaga going home empty-handed
I think I came across as rude ![toofunny2](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/faces/toofunny2_zpsb54f2d2d.gif) sorry if I did - not my intention ![hug](images/smilies/images/smilies/hug.gif)

Adele is going to win at worst four of the six. She'll win the big ones:
ROTY, SOTY, AOTY.
