Not at all. Soul Pop is just more likeable genre and everything seems more heartfelt. Soul Pop singers tend to be so overrated by public.
Beyonce music is definitely better and more daring. Plus the album should be judged as the whole piece of art.

"Chandelier" should win this easily, but this may be their only chance to reward "Happy" for something.

The Grammys have, for the majority of their history, been terrible - but those Record of the Year nominations are just brutal. Just... wow. 
Fancy, Shake It Off and All About That Bass are three of the worst songs I've heard this year, and the other two are cute but so vanilla it hurts.

So if BEYONCÉ wins, does Timberlake get a Grammy too?

However, BEYONCÉ will win because of the innovative release strategy.

'BEYONCÉ' is also universally acclaimed as one of the best albums of the last year.

Nope.
I know that some people don't get the eccentric vocals on No Angel and the odd structures in Mine and Flawless and maybe they didn't take the time to listen to all the genius vocal layering in Rocket and probably didn't notice all of Superpower's harmonies and melodies. But it's all there and Bey and her producers created some incredible sounds and arrangements. Sam's album really can't touch any of it.
BEYONCÉ is acclaimed for a reason. Had Beyoncé surprise released IASF it would have still gotten low scores.

I would've preferred LP1 instead of Morning Phase as this year's underdog nominee.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Beyoncé - BEYONCÉ
Pharrell Williams - GIRL
Ed Sheeran - X
Sam Smith - In The Lonely Hour
Beck - Morning Phase
Okay now I know for sure Bey's dad is paying for this. 
How can they do Katy's Dark Horse like that  They sure as hell know it was no pop due that made it a hit.
No Lana, no Britney, not watching.
