54^th Grammy Award Nominees

The “Oskar” of the different musical acts is taking place tonight 12th February in L.A. and the venue for the ceremony is the famous and invariable for a couple of years already L.A. Staples Centre. Today’s ceremony is starting at 5p.m. PT(so it is around 3 a.m. for the citizens of Lithuania and other countries who happen to exist in +2 GMT time zone).

I expect this ceremony to be under cover of grief for famous pop and r&b singer Ms Whitney Houston who passed away yesterday. She was just 48 years old. The multimillion selling artist was acknowledged as the queen of pop in 80’s and 90’s due to her magnificent voice abilities and millions of the record’s sold.

As for me it would be much more interesting to comment or discuss the actual winners of the particular awards but as for now as L.A. is still sleeping and the red carpet is probably not yet there I would like to acknowledge sections of the awards that I perceive as most interesting and worth of looking at.

So, our 5 nominees for the “Record of the Year” are:

1)Rolling in the Deep-Adele

2)Holocene- Bon Iver

3)Grenade- Bruno Mars

4)The Cave-Mumford & Sons

5)Firework- Katty Perry

 If I would be betting on who will be the winner I would mostly likely bet on Adele because her song and the album as well are already given the title the best for some other musical awards and I don’t think we should expect something extremely different here at Grammy’s. She earned it completely, and if not this year she will probably earn some more in the upcoming years because she is definitely a singer that is worth of hundreds of awards.

The Album of the Year:

      1 )    21-Adele

      2)    Wasting Light- Foo Fighters

      3)    Born This Way- Lady Gaga 

      4)    Doo-Wops & Hooligans

      5)    Loud-Rihanna

Foo Fighters with 6 nominations including best Rock/Hard Rock performance for the “Walk” and the Best Rock Album would most likely earn a couple of trophies this year. I honestly don’t know what to expect for this category but I think that Adele would be the total leader in the number of won nominations so yeah “21-Adele” for the album of the year? Sounds legit to me guys.

Best 5 new artists include :

      1)    The Band Perry

      2)    Bon Iver

      3)    J.Cole

      4)    Nicki Minaj

      5)    and of course “SKRILLEX”

I am cheering for Skrillex and I think that he is the one who should get this particular trophies. However, this is not the only category Mr. Sonny Moore (aka Skrillex) is nominated (5 nominations in total). If he is not going to win this one, then there is no doubt  he is up for the “Best Dance/Electronica album” for the “Crazy Monsters & Nice Sprites”.

The Last Category I want to highlight on is “The Best Rock Performance” which in this year includes artists like:

  
     
     1)  Every Teardrop is the Waterfall- The Coldplay

     2)    Down By The Water- The Decemberists

     3)    Walk- Foo Fighters

     4)    The Cave- Mumford & Sons

     5)    Lotus Flower- Radiohead

In terms of awesomeness I would pick the Lotus Flower by the Radiohead, however the “Walk” seems worth of a Grammy as well. It is always up to the fans who to greet and bet on but sometimes miracles happen and some no-name first year artists are able to win the trophies that some bands work for a decade to be simply nominated for.

Good Luck for everyone, and let the best wins :D(Sound more like a sport event)

Anyways you can check out the CBS online broadcast if you click below. Although, keep in mind that you would need to be up all night to watch it exactly live due to PT time zone.
