Yahoo Predictions....
Album of the Year: Beyoncé's album was well-received, but Fearless was a phenomenon. And the academy has a large country contingent. Fearless would be the fourth Album of the Year winner in nine years with strong country appeal, following O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Dixie Chicks' Taking The Long Way and Raising Sand by Robert Plant/Alison Krauss.
Prediction: Swift.
Record of the Year:" Kings of Leon's main competitors are the Peas, whose song took on a life of its own, and Swift, in large part because Grammy voters tend to get caught up in sweeps. ("Single Ladies" wasn't entered in this category.
Beyoncé's team instead entered a pair of pop-oriented ballads, "Halo" and "If I Were A Boy." That was a lucky break for Kings of Leon. "Single Ladies" would have been a more formidable competitor here than "Halo.")
Prediction: Kings of Leon.
Song of the Year: "Use Somebody" (Kings of Leon), "You Belong With Me" (Taylor Swift). "Use Somebody" has the majestic, anthemic quality of Coldplay's "Viva La Vida," which won in this category last year.
Prediction: Kings of Leon.
Best New Artist: Solo female artists often have an edge in this category, which could clinch it for Hilson. But her debut album failed to receive a nomination for Best Contemporary R&B Album, while Brown's debut made the finals for Best Country Album. (This is a rather weak field. Lady Gaga would have given it some pizzazz.)
Prediction: Zac Brown Band.
Best Pop Vocal Album: You can make a reasonable case for any of these albums winning. Clarkson took this award four years ago, but I gotta feeling the Peas will win. (Sorry.)
Prediction: The Black Eyed Peas.
Best Electronic/Dance Album:The Pet Shop Boys have been charting longer than Lady Gaga has been alive. They really should win a Grammy someday, but this won't be the year.
Prediction: Lady Gaga.
Best R&B Album: India.Arie won in this category seven years ago, but this was Maxwell's year.
Prediction: Maxwell.
Best Contemporary R&B Album: Beyoncé's first two solo studio albums both won this award. She'll soon be three for three. (Note to the Recording Academy: You really should combine this category with Best R&B Album. You'd have one hot, competitive category as opposed to two that always feel a little padded.)
Prediction: Beyoncé.

I wish DMB will win tho
I don't mind her taking BEST NEW ARTIST, as long as RIHANNA/JAY/KANYE take Best Rap/Sung Collabo.
