Rap-Up.com || Celebrity Grammy Predictions 2010

How many Grammys will this year’s most-nominated artist Beyoncé add to her mantle? Will Grammy voters go gaga for Lady Gaga? And will the Black Eyed Peas’ commercial success translate into recognition from their peers?

This year’s all-star panel includes R&B songstress JoJo, singer-songwriter Sean “The Pen” Garrett, Pussycat Doll Melody Thornton, Young Money’s Shanell, songwriter Rico Love, producer Jim Jonsin, singer-songwriter Kevin Cossom, and Roc Nation signee J.

the fact that nobody picked q-tip is atrocious; his album is by far the best rap album nominated. and picking single ladies for a SONGWRITING award? smh.

Bey wont win more than 5. I think she wil win 3. The reason i say this is because not even alicia keys has won more that 5 on a nte n she is a grammy fave. Amy’s back 2 black was the critical n comercial album of the year n not even she got more than 5. Be realistic people. And nominations mean nothin luk at mariah n lil wayn. They had plenty nominations in the last few years but how many grammys did they win?

@Chad, beyonce won 5 grammys in ’04 and your right most of the big winners don,t win more than 5,but it not because of dat is the fact of the matter that the somr categories are hard to choose from and this year seems the hardest..

Album of the Year will go to the Dave Matthews Band; it’s simply dumb to think that Beyoncé will win this one…
Song of the Year will go to Kings of Leon.
Record of the Year will go to Halo by Beyoncé
and You’re all basing the Best New Artist award in sales and popularity and stuff
If it was like that, Britney would’ve won (in 2000) and the Faggot Brothers too last year…
Zac Brown Band will win Best New Artist.

what a rip off!! Lady Gaga should have won album of the year. Her style is original, its not the same old generic tunes being sung over and over again.
