My Opinion of Grammy Nominations

MY PICKS AND OPINIONS FOR THE 2008 GRAMMYS

Category 1
Record Of The Year
(Award to the Artist and to the Producer(s), Recording Engineer(s) and/or Mixer(s), if other than the artist.)

Chasing Pavements - Adele: Deserves it, she has a great voice and this song reminds me of Amy Winehouse without the drugs.

Viva La Vida - Coldplay: I love Coldplay but with all the controversy over this song I don't think it will win. Also it isn't the best song on the album.


Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis: I think people hyped her up too much. She was practically spoon fed too us. I think people are already sick of her unoriginal song... then again it's pop fans we are talking about.


Paper Planes - M.I.A: My pick, I had this cd forever before discovering I loved this song. It's original without being pretentious. It's fun AND well-constructed.


Please Read The Letter - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss: blah, this is on the list to make the Grammy's look like they care about more than just pop (when they really don't)

Category 2

Album Of The Year

Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends - Coldplay: Wouldn't mind if they won


Tha Carter III - Lil Wayne: I Really don't get it
