Beyonce is getting a nomination, I can almost place my head on the line for that. I can't say if she's gonna win or not, but I am certain she's gonna be nominated.

I think Adele, Beyonce, Gaga and Taylor will have a nod and my bet is that Adele will win.
Britney won't - Grammys just don't like her.
For the 5th one, I don't know honestly.

Yeah, but the King of Limbs has been generally regarded as Radiohead's weakest studio album since Pablo Honey. I don't think it'll get it. If anything, it will get it because they are so well-known.

Do I really see Pink Friday, Cannibal, Loud, and Femme Fatale up there or am I mistaking?

Bon Iver - Bon Iver
If Arcade Fire can beat out the likes of Lady Gaga, Lady Antebellum, and Eminem for an "Album of the Year" win, than you can't count out this year's top indie-rock artist Bon Iver from sneaking into the "Album of the Year" category with a nom after his self-titled album reached number two on the album charts and received mass critical acclaim.

Femme Fatale - Britney Spears
Depending on how the Grammy voters see Britney's seventh studio album, the album could have a chance at a nomination for "Album of the Year," but then again, Britney's two best albums both In the Zone and Blackout didn't receive a single album nomination (Pop Vocal album, Best Dance Album, Album of the Year, etc.). While the album is a thrilling, nonstop keep-on-dancing-till-the-world-ends affair, Grammy voters fail over and over again to appreciate Britney's contributions to pop music, and there's a good chance they'll do the same this this year. If there is any consolation in Brit's sure-to-be snub, chances favor that Femme Fatale superproducer Dr. Luke will grab a nom for "Producer of the Year."

This.

They had to mention them or else they would have been attacked with tons of angry messages by fans telling them that their article is a flop and make a poll

Well, Katy and Black Eyed Peas found their way on the ballots the past two years, so it makes sense for them to mention those albums on the CONTENDER'S LIST.

LOUD - Rihanna
Although Katy Perry is in the same category and she received an "Album of the Year" nomination last year, RiRi's predominately a singles artist and the Grammy academy recognizes that; she's never in her career been grabbed a nomination for an entire body of work, so don't expect Rihanna to grab the most coveted album nomination this year, but LOUD may grab Rihanna her first nomination for "Best Pop Vocal Album" for the first time.

 Hopefully....

King of Limbs is certainly not getting even a nom.
The way I see it, in order:
1. Adele - 21
2. Kanye - MBDTF
3. Bon Iver - Bon Iver
4. Bruno - Doo Wops
5. Foo Fighters
Runner-Ups: BTW, 4 and albums from oldies (namely The Union and So Beautiful or So What)

I was very surprised that Katy got a nod for AOTY last year. Not that I don't like the album - just that it's so not classic AOTY material.

Yeh, it is obvious that Loud, Femme Fetale & Cannibal will not get an album nod.

Doo-Wops & Hooligans - Bruno Mars
The Grammy's nominated Bruno Mars an astounding seven nominations last year (two for his work on Cee-Lo's "**** You"), but his album didn't make the cut for an "Album of the Year" nom, but it is eligible for the 2012 ceremony. Bruno has one problem though. Last year his singles peaked at the perfect time—right as the ballots were being sent to voting committee. This year Bruno won't be as lucky, so will voters still remember Bruno over the likes of Gaga, Beyoncé, Adele, and Kanye West? He's doing a surprisingly impressive job keeping the momentum going with the release of his current single "The Lazy Song," but by the time voters get the ballots in the mail, Bruno's appeal will probably be simmered out.

If Teenage Dream got it last year, why can't Femme Fatale get this year? I don't think i need to say how much FF is better than TD, no offense.

In later years, AOTY nominations have been a mess, I think payola is having a great influence

I know that girl but BEP are no Grammy flops, they get noms and wins. And Ms. Katy has a pair of breasts that can persuade any voter to say yes.
