Thoughts on Grammy Nominations:
(on categories I pay attention to)

Album of the Year
The Suburbs' -- Arcade Fire
'Recovery' -- Eminem
'Need You Now' -- Lady Antebellum
'The Fame Monster' -- Lady Gaga
'Teenage Dream' -- Katy Perry
Team Lady Gaga, but it could be Arcade Fire if the Grammys decide to go indie rock this year ha

Record of the Year
Nothing on You' -- B.o.B. Feat. Bruno Mars
'Love the Way You Lie' -- Eminem Feat. Rihanna
'Fuck You' -- Cee-Lo
'Empire State of Mind -- Jay-Z Feat. Alicia Keys
'Need You Now' -- Lady Antebellum
I want Cee-lo to win every category because there's more likely a chance some presenter will drop the F-bomb and cause a ruckus.

Song of the Year
'Beg, Steal or Borrow' -- Ray LaMontagne
'Fuck You -- Cee-Lo
'The House That Built Me' -- Miranda Lambert
'Love the Way You Lie' -- Eminem Feat. Rihanna
'Need You Now' -- Lady Antebellum
It be great if Carrie Underwood presented and gets to say  'The award goes to 'Cee-Lo Green, FUCK YOU!'

Best New Artist
Justin Bieber
Drake
Florence and the Machine
Mumford and Sons
Esperanza Spalding
I think the Grammys are immune to Bieber Fever, and Florence and The Machine carries the huge 'Eat, Pray, Love'  demographic

Best Pop Vocal
My World 2.0' -- Justin Bieber
'I Dreamed a Dream' -- Susan Boyle
'The Fame Monster' -- Lady Gaga
'Battle Studies' -- John Mayer
'Teenage Dream' -- Katy Perry
This one should go to Perry's producers, because whoever fabricated her vocals on the record deserves the award since the source isn't helpful.

Best Song Pop Duo Or Group
Don't Stop Believin' (Regionals Version)' -- 'Glee' cast
'The Only Exception' -- Paramore
'Babyfather' -- Sade
'Hey, Soul Sister (Live)' -- Train
'Glee' is eligible? People can listen to that Train song throughout the year?

Best Contemporaty R&B Album
Graffiti' -- Chris Brown
'Untitled' -- R. Kelly
'Transition' -- Ryan Leslie
'The ArchAndroid' -- Janelle Monáe
'Raymond V Raymond' -- Usher
Curiously None whom were considered for Best R&B song, but here Usher is the front-runner for good reason.


Best Rap Song
Empire State Of Mind -- Jay-Z & Alicia Keys
'Love the Way You Lie' -- Eminem & Rihanna
'Not Afraid -- Eminem
'Nothin' On You' -- B.o.B & Bruno Mars
'On To The Next One' --Jay-Z & Swizz Beatz
'On to the Next One' is the most badass, which is why it will lose.


Best Rap Album
'The Adventures of Bobby Ray' -- B.o.B
'Thank Me Later' -- Drake
'Recovery' -- Eminem
'The Blueprint 3' -- Jay-Z
'How I Got Over' -- The Roots
Team HOVA.  He deserves it most.
