PICKING THE GRAMMYS

BEST NEW ARTIST:
This category include The Band Perry, Bon Iver, Nicki Minaj, Skrillex and J. Cole.  Last year this award went to Esperanza-something-rather.  Again I see a less popular artist winning this award.  I'm going with Bon Iver.

BEST HARD ROCK/METAL SONG:
The two categories were combined into one by the Grammy doofuses, which is why the Foo Fighters appear with Megadeth and Mastodon, along with Dream Theater and Sum 41.  The sexy pick here would be the Foo Fighters.  But I have to go with thrash-metal gods Megadeth.

ALBUM OF THE YEAR
Adele will walk away with this award easily.  I'm don't want to take anything away from Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Foo Fighters or Rihanna, but this will be the one of many for Adele tonight.

RECORD OF THE YEAR
It's cute to see Katy Perry nominated here with much more talented artists.  Bruno Mars has the only chance of upsetting Adele but it's not going to happen.  "Rolling in the Deep" wins the award.  Sorry Mumford & Son and Bon Iver also.

BEST POP SOLO PERFORMANCE
This is where the voters may let someone other than Adele win.  I think Bruno Mars take this award over Adele, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and P!nk.
