However, despite the rescheduled ceremony, there is still the small matter of who has been given a nomination. Of course, we have the usual suspects but if I tell you these now, there won't be any point of this blog post!
Before I get into the nominations, I am only doing the "general field" nominations because otherwise I would be here forever as there are about 100 categories. However, I will touch upon a few of the other categories where I see fit.
So...let's get into it. Here are the nominations for the grammys 2021...and who I think will win.
Record of the year:
Black Parade - Beyoncé
Colors - Black Pumas
Rockstar - Dababy featuring Roddy Ricch
Say So - Doja Cat
Everything I Wanted - Billie Eilish
Don't Start Now - Dua Lipa
Circles - Post Malone
Savage - Megan Thee Stallion featuring Beyoncé
There are a couple of these songs that could win...I mean Beyoncé seems to always win at least one Grammy and she is nominated twice in this category. However, she has got some competition in the form of the younger stars, like Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish. Both, in the past, have won multiple awards on the night, so could they beat the Queen B? Quite possibly...
So, who do I think will win? I think it is going to be a close call between Beyoncé (either on her own or with Megan Thee Stallion), Dua Lipa and Billie Eilish. Can't choose between them.
Album of the year
Chilombio -Jhene Aiko
Black Pumas - Black Pumas
Everyday Life - Coldplay
Djesee Vol 3. -Jacob Collier
Woman in Music Part III - Haim
Future Nostalgia - Dua Lipa
Hollywood's Bleeding - Post Malone
Folklore - Taylor Swift
This is a tough category as there are three people that could win this: Haim, Dua Lipa and Taylor Swift. Those who know me will probably say "what about Coldplay?" Well...unfortunately after the fantastic album release (and tour) that was A Head Full of Dreams, Everyday Life wasn't as good. Anyway, if I had to choose between the three, I would probably pick Taylor Swift.
Song of the Year:
Black Parade - Beyoncé
The Box - Roddy Ricch
Cardigan - Taylor Swift
Circles - Post Malone
Don't Start Now - Dua Lipa
Everything I've Wanted - Billie Eilish
I Can't Breathe - H.E.R
If the World Was Ending - JP Saxe and Julia Michaels
This is becoming a bit of a theme but there is not a song in this list that I can say "They will definitely win." Any one in this category could win it but I think those with the highest chance of winning are Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift.
Best New Artist:
Ingrid Andress
Phoebe Bridgers
Chika
Noah Cyrus
D Smoke
Doja Cat
Kaytranada
Megan Thee Stallion
In terms of this category, there are two stars that I think deserve the win. Both Megan Thee Stallion and and Doja Cat have had great success over the last year, with Doja releasing her hit, Say So, and Megan Thee Stallion collaborating with both Cardi B and Beyonce. Therefore, I would like to see either of them win.
Regarding other categories, there is tough competition, particularly in the pop categories. This is notably the best pop vocal album category, which puts Justin Bieber (Changes), Lady Gaga (Chromatica), Dua Lipa (Future Nostalgia), Harry Styles (Fine Line) and Taylor Swift (Folklore) against each other. Who knows who is going to win this as they are all massive artists but I think the win could go to either Dua Lipa or Taylor Swift.
It is also worth mentioning that Billie Eilish could win another grammy for the James Bond universe, as No Time to Die is nominated for Best song written for visual media, but it does have some strong competition in the form of Into the Unknown from Frozen 2.
Of course, we couldn't talk about The Grammys without mentioning the lack of nominations for The Weeknd. Despite having the biggest song of the year in 2020, in the form of Blinding Lights, and having a majorly successful album, After Hours. Furthermore, he had done a stunning Super Bowl Half time show (the best since Beyoncé in my opinion). All this is despite some of the other nominees being released about two years ago.
So there you have it, my rundown of (almost) all things regarding The Grammys. Due to living in the UK, I won't be tuning in because of the time difference but it will be interesting to see the results of the general field categories, as well as the other categories. Additionally, for those who can watch, you'll have the chance to see performances (presumably filmed from home because of COVID-19) from the likes of BTS, Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, Chris Martin and Miranda Lambert to name a few.
Anyway, good luck everyone!
