Hey there, peeps---

In case you didn't know, I am a huge music enthusiast. It doesn't matter what genre; I love it all.

Because of that, I've decided to take up the job of choosing winners for the Grammys, coming up in January. You can view the nominees here: http://www.grammy.com/nominees

I don't expect most of my choices to win. In fact, these are my opinions, not the most popular ones. SOOOO, if you don't agree with me, voice your opinion here. Also, feel free to make a list like mine.

Oh, and please, PLEASE give me your opinion on the ones with "no opinion". The genres with those mean that I don't know enough about the genre to make an honest opinion.

*whew* That took a long time. I have to admit, there are a lot of blank spaces though

i don't really watch the grammys but i end up watyching them sometimes lady gaga should be replaced from taylor swift you belong with me gaga isn't that great

hackerman : Yeah, I suppose. But Taylor Swift wasn't nominated for anything.

I personally don't watch the Grammys, but the selections on there could be better. A few of those songs are pretty nice songs though.

Wow i also like the grammy awards wow you like lady gaga? I am not a fan

What's up with all the blanks for the grammys and having Lady Gaga as a nominee for a lot of these was expected but still dissapointing.

i don,t watch award shows because they are stupid and boring i have better things to do and i don,t like lady goo goo whatever.

Never watch grammy before... but yeah, Lady Gaga is weird girl...

I agree with some of your selecions, especially "F**k you" by Cee Lo for song of the year. Somethings gotta beat out "Baby". It's a no-brainer that the Beatles will win.

And to fill some out, my opinion for Non Classical Producer of the year is David Guetta.

But, I have some disagreements.
