Well, there are my Rock predictions. Let's see how it all turns out on January 31. Oh, since I have time, I see a new category that I've never seen before in the Grammys. I guess they came out with a Music Video Category recently. I haven't seen this in the Grammys before. If they have been there, I must have missed them. Anyway, since this category is short, and since I have looked at the nominees' videos, I might as well do this category too. Even if it won't be on the Awards television program on January 31.
MUSIC VIDEO CATEGORY
Best Short Form Music Video Nominees Are: Oren Lavie-Her Morning Elegance/Depeche Mode-Wrong/Coldplay-Life In Technicolor II/Beast-Mr. Hurricane/Black Eyed Peas-Boom Boom Pow
My Prediction: 1. Oren Lavie, highly creative video that brings out a soft side of life 2. Depeche Mode, a dark video that would fit criminal TV shows very well
Best Long Form Music Video Nominees Are: (Various Artists)-The Beatles Love All Together Now/Johnny Cash-Johnny Cash's America/Keith Urban-Love Pain & The Whole Crazy World Tour Live/Chris Botti-In Boston/Anita O'Day-The Life Of A Jazz Singer
My Prediction: 1. Keith Urban, popularity 2. Chris Botti, we have seen this name on several Grammy nominees list throughout my posts
I am only going to do 3 more major categories since they are the most mainstream. R&B, Country, then Rap. The next post will be for R&B. There are also other short categories that I might give attention too if I have time. You can't wait for the Grammys either huh? Check back in for more guesses. Until the next time. DON'T BE AFRAID TO COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
