Who will win the Grammy 2011: Our picks

Here are some predictions we made regarding the main categories and the nominees.

Best Male Pop Vocal Performance

Have not Met You Yet – Michael Buble

This Is It – Michael Jackson

Whataya Want from Me? – Adam Lambert

Just the Way You Are – Bruno Mars

Half of My Heart – John Mayer

While we agree that Michael Jackson deserves a posthumous award, we believe Bruno Mars, who has a bit of MJ in him, is more likely to walk away with this distinction.

Song of the Year

Love the Way you Lie – Eminem feat. Rihanna

Fuck you – Cee Lo Green

Need You Now – Lady Antebellum

The house that built me – Miranda Lambert

Beg Steal or Borrow – Ray Lamontagne and the Pariah Dogs

Once again, Eminem is a favorite, with a subject covering a real-life situation: the Rihanna-Chris Brown incident. The duo is a powerful one and the fact that it’s a matter that was unfolded in the press gives more weight to the message.
