Whitney Houston's death will probably cast a pall over proceedings.


However, it should be interesting to see if Dave Grohl and The Foo Fighters can slay Adele tonight.


Loved Nirvana so it's a no brainer that I would love The Foo Fighters. Wasting Light is a great album so hope it does well tonight. Also a big fan of Radiohead and they are up for Alternative Album of the Year, which they should win.

Not a fan of country but would like to see Blake Shelton win just because I like him from The Voice.

Anyone else have any predictions or care for that matter? :laugh:

I think Bon Iver wins the Alternative Album of the Year award. Just a hunch. And I think Adele will win just about every award that she's up for.

Definitely looking forward to the show.

It's a joke that Kanye's MBDTF wasn't included for Album of the Year.

Yeah, Adele is a big favorite but Foo Fighters are up for Rock Song of the Year (Walk) which they ought to take.


Radiohead has won the last four Alternative Album of the Years ( I think) that they have been nominated for so odds are good they will make it five in a row.

It's a joke that Kanye is allowed back inside any award ceremonies.

The Grammys is the most retarded award show with the craziest winners. I used to watch when Bonnie Raitt was beating all the great entertainers and songs that were 2 years old were winning.

But I think they'll do something great honoring Whitney.....and I want to watch that.

I don't care if he's there or not, but you can't expect any perception of credibility when Bruno Mars gets nominated over one of the best pop/rap albums of the past decade. They've nominated Kanye before, for lesser albums, and this was his best work from a critical standpoint. If you don't think it deserves a bid then I would almost guarantee you haven't listened to it, regardless of what type of genre you like.

It's not a matter of genre. It's a matter of him being a douche bag.

Yes. To quote one of my favorites on MBDTF, "you know that shit is fuckin ridiculous."

It is a great album and I'm a huge fan of Kanye. Sadly, Grammy snubs happen.

I was speaking for myself, not for everyone else. To each their own.

Skrillex has already won 3 Grammy's....time to bang my head against the wall (ironically, it will create the same shitty sounds as his music!).

Make a drinking game out of it every time some idiot looks up at the ceiling and says something like "We'll miss you baby" or "We're praying for you baby". You'll be shit faced in the first hour.

Start drinking! LL Cool J has given us, what? About a dozen shots in the first three minutes? Guys will be smashed within a half hour.
