TraceOddity Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 nom nom nom? You beat me to it, Ian!:lol: I like most of the nominees in these categories, so won't be unhappy no matter who wins...with one exception,lol. But as for the Grammys losing credibility? This is the same academy that created a 'Best Metal' category the year Metallica's Black album came out, then gave the award to JETHRO TULL! That ship sailed a long time ago. (Don't get me wrong, I love Tull, but they're about as Heavy Metal as ETIAW is Rock. :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Violet Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Best Pop Duo/Group Performance Coldplay - Paradise “Body And Soul” — Tony Bennett & Amy Winehouse “Dearest” — The Black Keys “Pumped Up Kicks” — Foster The People “Moves Like Jagger” — Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera Best Rock Performance “Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall” — Coldplay “Down By The Water” — The Decemberists “Walk” — Foo Fighters “The Cave” — Mumford & Sons “Lotus Flower” — Radiohead Best Rock Song The Cave - Mumford & Sons Down By The Water - The Decemberists Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall - Coldplay Lotus Flower - Radiohead Walk - Foo Fighters tough competition on both with Maroon 5 's super hit and also Fosters great song.. and radiohead in rock with Mumford and sons PSH. Coldplay doesn't deserve to win in any of these categories. Too bad the Grammy's don't really care about such things. I guarantee you "Pumped Up Kicks" will win. It's so hipster nowadays. LOLWUT. Pumped Up Kicks is horrible. It's by far Foster the People's worst song. :nod: The rest of their album is pretty soling, though. Bleugh, ETIAW doesn't deserve winning those awards. I'm glad someone else feels that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 If Every Teardrop wins Best Rock Song(writer award), will Peter Allen and Adriane be credited as winners too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kittybitty Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Glad to see them nominated for something. Here's my theory: The Grammys love women artists, they'll give every Grammy they have to Adele. Just like for Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill, Norah Jones, Taylor Swift, etc. I'm glad MX will not be going against Adele's album. It would have lost. Next year, when MX is eligible, I fancy they'll give Album of the Year to Coldplay, since they lost (tragically, I think) in 2009 to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss of all people (part oldy but goody and part female artist, Grammy loves both of those). It will be like when U2 won for some crappy, unmemorable album when it lost the album prior to that, which is should have won for. I can make a flow chart if anyone needs one!

TraceOddity Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm not remotely surprised that the Plant/Kraus album one, and for once I thought the right album won. Of course, I'd always prefer to see Coldplay win, but that wqas a well-crafted and well-produced album. Much more worthy than Rihanna or Taylor Swift!:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikola Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 What do you think about Teardrop - Lotus head to head? Which one will win/which one do you want to win? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 What do you think about Terdrop - Lotus head to head? Whitch one will win/which one do you want to win? To be honest, ETIAW will probably win. Critics love it, and Radiohead are always snubbed. But LF should win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prospector Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Every Teardrop should win on both awards and Paradise could, I think Moves Like Jagger will take Duo/Group Pop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Every Teardrop should win on both awards and Paradise could, I think Moves Like Jagger will take Duo/Group Pop Not if there is a God or any kind justice under the sky. :awesome: Maybe Amy and Tony... I think Paradise should win in its category, Teardrop should win best "rock" song, and Lotus should have been nominated for best alternative song, and win.

getithom Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 How in the world is Foster the People hipster? I was being sarcastic. I just don't like that song anymore. It's too - everywhere. Oh God. That was hipster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseSleeP Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Bono said U2 will release an album next year though, MX may have to compete with that. Arcade Fire will do something too. So..... I am not confident with MX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the yellow of ur life Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I don't care who wins best group performance as long as it isn't Moron 5, that song is the worst thing sense AIDS. I think foo fighters will win 2nd and Mumford & Sons might win for best rock song, I really like ETIAW but it's not a rock song its pop. I don't put any weight into grammys so its not important if coldplay wins a single award or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrman78 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I don't believe they will win anything and I do believe Maroon 5 will win the Duo/Group category. The Grammy's has turned into a popularity contest now... Adele will probably rule the show due to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally can't think of a single think in this world or any other that is worse than Nickleback. The name itself makes me vomit in my mouth a little.
