Some tea:
The winner for Record of the Year has a pretty strong lead. But that can be changed.
In the Artist of the Year category, there's a 1 point difference between the the winner and runner-up, which means even one more group of votes can be crucial.
One voter completely shook things up.

Ah, okay. I'm not gonna change mine then, I voted for everyone I wanted to vote for and I'm glad others are doing the same despite that rule.

Tegan and Christina visit record store in Stockholm
 
Yesterday night, the two stars were announced to come to Record Hunter to sign some autographs and basically do a meet and great.
This morning, there were already 50 fans standing outside the shop, some even having spent the night camping in front of it to make sure they would get to see their idols. The two singers were so excited to talk with all of them. Firstly, they entered the shop to sign 50 photos each to give to their fans. When they were finished, they went upstairs to get ready for their performance and the doors opened to let everyone in. The small crowd was very excited and gathered around the make-shift stage as the performance was about to begin shortly.
After about ten minutes, Tegan and Christina appeared, sitting down on two bar stools as the fans cheered for them. They welcomed everyone and said they were very excited to be in Sweden and perform for their Scandinavian fans in such an intimate setup.
First up was their collaboration single Chairs & Tables. It was a simple acoustic version with Tegan playing a guitar she had borrowed from the shop owners. Their voices sounded amazing in the small room, and fans were seen mouthing along the lyrics to the ballad.
After that, they performed their own signles, Tegan singing Heart Waster with backing vocals from Christina, who followed it with her single Vintage Lover, which Tegan provided the instrumental for on a keyboard.
For their last song, the two girls surprised the fans by letting them request a cover right there and then. Everyone was shouting suggestions, but they eventually settled on Radioactive by Imagine Dragons, an unexpected and almost risky choice. But Christina and Tegan knew what they were doing and put their own spin on the song, Tegan impressing everyone with an intricate guitar performance and Christina satisfying the crowd with a vocal delivery that was toned down from her usual powerhouse performances and fit the song just perfectly.
A Swedish music journalist who was present for the event later praised the performance for being "refreshingly different" and said that Tegan and Christina had both shown versatility and bravery with this cover that transcended their usual genres.
After the performance, the girls went to talk with each fan, letting them ask whatever they wanted and making conversation as well as taking photos with everyone. They stayed for several hours, until everyone was satisfied and eventually left to complete the rest of their promo schedule that day.
Later in the day, the fans went on Twitter to express their feelings about the event, saying that it was an experience that they could never have again because it was amazing. Tegan and Christina were also seen tweeting about it, calling it one of their favorite things they had done recently and thanking fans again for their support.

If you're going to South America and Asia, T&S would be interested in opening for Katy on those dates

Christina and Tegan @ Skavlan
Continuing their promo tour through Scandinavia, Tegan and Christina visited Swedish/Norwegian talk show Skavlan today, chatting with host Fredrik Skavlan and his guests before delivering a beautiful performance of Chairs & Tables.
The girls entered the studio to the sound of their single playing in the background, after the host had played a little video introducing both of them. The audience was clapping for them as they joined the other guests and sat down with them and Fredrik, explaining how their collaboration came to be and joking about Christina having problems to tell Tegan and Sara apart when they first met.
The host also brought up the Grammys, for which both artists are nominated with their own projects, and they talked a bit about their previous Grammy experiences (Tegan and Sara were nominated for their live DVD album last year, and Christina has won many awards since the beginning of her career) as well as the general importance of this award in the music business.
 
Then it was time for Tegan and Christina to take the stage. It was decorated with countless candles of different sizes on the floor, which were all lit up and created a comfortable yet emotional atmosphere. Next to them were also some chairs and tables set up in reference to the lyrics.
The duo was joined by two members of Tegan and Sara's band, their drummer Adam who did some mild percussion and their guitarist Ted who played rhythm guitar while Tegan did the lead guitar parts. It was a mesmerizing performance, their voices complimenting each other perfectly, and genuine emotion could be felt in both of them.
The song was performed in such a way that it started out very quiet, and then slowly build up until the last few choruses, where Christina got to show off her full vocal capacity and Tegan provided fantastic background harmonies.
The show was watched by almost three million people in Sweden and Norway, making it the episode with the highest ratings this season.

Tegan and Christina on P3 Radio Sweden
 
Host: Alright, it's time to welcome our two guests for today, Christina Aguilera and Tegan Quin, hello ladies!
Tegan: Hi everyone!
Christina: Hello! How are y'all Fighters and Tegan & Sara worshipers  ?
*studio audience makes some noise*
Host: It's great to have you here, ladies, how are you doing? Are you enjoying your time in Sweden so far?
Christina: I don't know really that much about you except the fact that you have horrible food, because you know how much I like to eat  , but I really like to be here.
Tegan: (laughs) Don't worry guys, she doesn't mean it, we've both been pigging out at the catering here, it's excellent. We've had a great time so far, especially at the record store earlier, it was great to meet all the fans!
Host: Oh yeah, you played a very intimate performance there to 50 people I think? Did you enjoy that, or do you prefer larger crowds?
Christina: I'm a diva duh, of course I prefer larger crowds. But this crowd was amazing and the experience we had was brilliant 
Tegan: It was really enjoyable, I had a great time. I'm used to being close to the fans and our crowds aren't as big as Christina's anyway, so it wasn't that big of a change for me  In store performances are a huge part of what Sara and I do so I always have fun there. Plus we got some amazing presents from fans! Someone brought me this really sweet bracelet they made, it has the colors of the Swedish flag, I love it. Christina, tell them what you got!
Christina: I got a lot of toys for Max and a fan book which featured photos that I took with various fans that are kinda rare, lyrics, drawings. I cried when I read it 
Host: That is so touching, your fans are really sweet for giving you something like that!
Tegan: They're amazing, they create the most thoughtful things for us. I also got some stuff for Sara.. it's so awesome, I'm considering keeping it for myself to be honest. (laughs) Just kidding. I will pass on the presents.. maybe.
Host: So you both seem to have a special relationship with your friends, how important is that to you now that you've been in the business for so many year and have a lot of commercial success?
Christina: I've been a flop recently It feels amazing  . Only the fans did this (payola too) so I thank them from the bottom of my heart. They are so supportive and they help us whenever we want (don't forget about that payola)
Tegan: I agree, fan support is pretty much everything, and it doesn't matter how long you've been in the business. Knowing you have a solid fanbase behind you who will support you no matter what, even if you're suddenly not cool or hip enough to be played on radio anymore, it's a big comfort, you know? And it just gives us so much to have that kind of relationship with the fans. It makes us happy.
Host: And you're making the Swedish fans happy, finally coming here after quite a long absence, how did you actually decide to do promo for your new single here out of all places?
Christina: We wanted to try out new things. I've never been here, and it just feels amazing to know more and more people Around The World
Host: Thanks for that, and you're right, now you can say that you know some people in Sweden, too! So what's next on your schedule after you're done here?
Tegan: I think we're gonna stay here in Stockholm until tomorrow, and then we'll head down to Denmark for the X Factor and on Thursday we'll be in Germany. So we're going quite some places we hadn't covered yet and we're very excited.
Host: Does the language barrier scare you at all, though? I know a lot of people over here, especially the younger ones, know English now, but how does it feel to be in a country whose language you don't understand?
Christina: So weird . I can barely understand anything and your language sounds so weird  .
Tegan: It's quite fascinating to hear all these different languages, but it always makes me feel a bit awkward because I don't understand anything and I get paranoid thinking that people are talking about me all the time. (laughs) And it's also a bit embarrassing to be somewhere and just expect everyone to communicate with you in English, I guess it's the Canadian in me that feels like it's extremely impolite, but I'm just not very good at languages so I apologize.
Host: We forgive you, and I think especially Swedish is a difficult language to learn so I can't blame you. Now, you're here to perform your song together, is that right? Then I'd say let's hear it, ladies and gentlemen, Christina and Tegan with Chairs & Tables!
*everyone in the studio claps excitedly*
The two girls sang their song then, Tegan playing acoustic guitar as usual. It was a more laid back performance, still containing a lot of emotion but it was not as dramatic as some of their TV appearances had been. It gave a chance to simply focus on the song and its beautiful melody as well as the simple, yet effective lyrics, that carry so much hurt and meaning in their words.
*audience cheers when they're done*
Host: That was very lovely, thank you so much ladies! Now, we're all curious of course, is there any news about a video?
Christina: Actually, I've been waiting for this question the whole week. The video comes on Friday and I don't want to say too much about it, but it's gonna be a huge fight in the video. There are gonna be 3 different couples as you may have guessed and they are going to have a fight. Have you seen P!nk's Try? We got inspiration from that.[/QUOTE]
Tegan: The three of us are also gonna be in it but like Christina said, it's mainly focused on the protagonists. I feel like it's one of the more artistic videos we've done and I'm very proud of it. It's beautiful.
Host: I can't wait to see it, Try was an incredible video and I can see how that would inspire the video to your song, it fits. So everyone, you heard it, mark your calendars for the premiere on Friday!
*more cheering*
Host: Now, I'm afraid we'll have to wrap this up soon, but before you leave you're gonna play two more songs for us, one is yours, Tegan, Heart Waster, and the other is Vintage Lover by Christina. I hope everyone who tuned in enjoyed this little chat, I certainly did, it was lovely having you here ladies, and good luck for the rest of your promo!
Tegan: Thank you very much, it was great talking to you! Thanks for having us!
Christina: We loved to be here. Thanks
With the interview finished, Tegan moved over to a keyboard that was set up next to her and performed her and Sara's current single Heart Waster, singing with an upbeat tone in her voice and perfectly portraying the happy vibe of the song. Christina supporter her with some backing vocals, before they switched roles and Tegan accompanied Christina on the keyboard while she sang Vintage Lover. It was a great performance and the perfect way to end their session on a slightly sentimental note.

Example performs on "The View"
Example performed on The View this morning, bringing in massive viewership and critical acclaim.
He performed Forget About Never on the show, and afterwards had a small chat with co-host Jenny McCarthy.
The performance started with a guest performance by Nile Rodgers who did the opening riff as the performance started. Once Example came on the stage, his breathy vocals and smoke evoked the chill tone of the song. As the chorus starts, he turned into rapping as the smoke cleared and in came strobe lights. After the drop, he danced in tune with the background dancers.
After the performance, Example sat down and chatted with new host Jenny McCarthy.
McCarthy: That performance was astonishing! I've never seen our set so beautiful. :laughs:
Example: Thanks! I owe it all to my awesome stage and lighting team.
McCarthy: You said you have some inside scoop on your new album. Can you tell us more?
Example: I want my album to be fun, fresh and modern, but incorporate old school electro elements and my signature rap sound.
McCarthy: Wow! I can't wait for your album! Thank you Example for coming to the show today, and Forget About Never is on iTunes now!
